Frank couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Arabella, do you really see me as your brother?"
"Absolutely!" she replied with a playful grin. "Honestly, knowing the place is yours is all I need. I'd much rather drop by whenever I feel like it—that sounds way more fun than having it under my name."
Shaking his head affectionately, Frank murmured, "You little troublemaker."
"So that's a yes?" Arabella's eyes lit up instantly.
She looked genuinely thrilled at the thought of coming and going freely from Misty Resort whenever she pleased.
"Alright, fine. Whatever makes you happy," Frank agreed.
Ethan chimed in from the side, "Well, in that case, I guess I'll have to tag along with Arabella and enjoy the perks."
"Not you." Frank shot him a look.
"Hey, I'm your brother too, you know!" Ethan protested.
It was one thing to spoil Arabella, but couldn't he at least get an invite?
"You said it yourself—you're a brother, not the sister," Frank replied bluntly.
Ethan immediately turned to Arabella with a pitiful expression. "Arabella, help me out here!"
Arabella couldn't hold back a laugh. "Ethan, Frank's just teasing you. Can't you tell?"
"Well, just promise you'll take me with you when you go," Ethan insisted. "If you don't, I won't even be able to get past the gate."
"Ethan!" Arabella said, half-amused, half-exasperated. "You could always book a reservation and wait in line like everyone else!"
Why was he acting like he was completely locked out?
"Arabella, the public sections aren't really our scene. I'm talking about the fully private area—Misty Mount," Ethan explained.
Finally understanding, Arabella's eyes widened. "There's a place like that too?"
She'd only ever heard rumors. She'd never looked into the details of Misty Resort before. Back when she was living with the Macdonalds, even if she'd had the money, she wouldn't have considered going. Her head just wasn't in that space back then.
"Yeah, Misty Mount has never been open to the public. It's Frank's personal retreat—completely off-limits to everyone else," Ethan filled her in.
Arabella turned to Frank. "So, are we going to Misty Mount this time, Frank?"
"Yes," he confirmed.
If they were going, they might as well go to the best part.
Besides, since his identity had always been kept under wraps, he really didn't feel like running into anyone outside the family.
"So... can I come and go from Misty Mount whenever I want too?" Arabella asked hopefully.
"Of course." He'd been ready to give her the place—why would he stop her from visiting?
Hearing that, Arabella beamed. "Thank you, Frank!"
Then she glanced at Ethan. "Don't worry, Ethan. I'll definitely bring you along when I go."

The readers' comments on the novel: True Heiress Returns to Her Unemployed Rich Family (Arabella)
Update please...
I started the novel with great interest. In the beginning the storyline was captivating. Then I feel that the more the story advances, the twists were no longer great. Moreover I don't like Arabella s personality, cold, distant......
