The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 39

Arabella raised an eyebrow, “Romeo? The richest man on earth?”

“You can’t possibly not know that Romeo is the richest guy in the world, right? He’s been number one

for three years straight! I heard he’s handsome but has a bit of a temper, can be a little scary

sometimes!”

Arabella decided to ignore him and stop listening to his nonsense. She went downstairs to grab

breakfast, planning to go back to bed after eating. “Are you there? Boss?”

“Why did you block me again?!”

Serena was up early today, chatting and laughing over breakfast with Martha and Holly.

When Arabella walked in, they quickly exchanged glances and stifled their laughter.

“Ms. Arabella, your breakfast will be ready soon.”

The chef noticed Arabella’s arrival and started plating the prepared meals with meticulous attention to

detail.

Meanwhile, Martha and Holly acted as if Arabella didn’t exist, not even bothering with a simple

greeting.

“Bella, why are you up so early?”

Serena was the first to speak. She wore a graceful smile, “If you’re used to sleeping in, there’s no need NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

to change that just because you’re here.” Arabella ignored her, her eyes were drawn to the well–

prepared breakfast that looked tantalizingly delicious.

“Ms. Arabella, I’m Daniel. I prepared your breakfast today.”

“We’ve got Canadian geoduck congee, milk fish maw, Mexican pancakes, avocado toast, Doric cheese

sandwiches, lobster bisque, and handmade coffee and milk. I wasn’t sure about your preferences so I

prepared a bit of everything. Enjoy! If there’s anything you’d like me to improve, feel free to let me

know.”

Thank you.” Arabella wasn’t fussy about food. She just wanted to finish quickly and get back to sleep.

However, Serena and Martha exchanged glances before blurting out, “Bella… I heard you’re planning

to visit Romeo, can I tag along?”

Arabella didn’t stop eating her cheese sandwich and sipped on her milk.

“I’m on vacation right now, so I have time. I’m usually too busy to spend time with you.“.

Seeing Arabella’s lack of response, Serena continued, “You’re probably not used to such grandeur, you

might be nervous…I know Romeo’s personality and temper very well, if you happen to say or do

something wrong, having me around can help ease the tension. Although Romeo isn’t particularly fond

of me, Phillip’s always happy to see me. I think he’ll be friendly towards you too.”

“Of course, our dear Ms. Serena is Old Mr. Phillip’s favorite!” Holly looked at Arabella haughtily, “With

Ms. Serena around, even if you mess up, Mr. Phillip will let it slide because of her.”

Martha, thinking her plan was working, whispered to Serena, “I’ll go prepare the outfit you’ll wear

today.”

“I’m riding in Romeo’s car. If you want a ride, go ask him,” Arabella suddenly said, “Telling me won’t

help.”

“Bella… you don’t agree?”

“That’s right.”

Serena looked awkward, surprised by Arabella’s direct rejection.

After seeing Arabella finish her breakfast leisurely and leave, Holly was a bit upset, “She’s only known

Romeo for a few days? And she’s already using his name to threaten you? She’s so full of herself! Does she really think she’s Romeo’s girlfriend?!”

Serena clenched her teeth, Romeo didn’t want to bring her last night, and now Arabella didn’t agree…

This country bumpkin was just afraid of her stealing the spotlight, wasn’t she?

‘Ms. Serena, don’t worry. Let her mess

up and make Phillip unhappy. Then you can visit Phillip. When he compares the two of you, he’ll

realize you’re the ideal daughter–in–law!”
