The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1019

Chapter 1019

Alma recounted the day's events in a nutshell, not forgetting to add a few sarcastic remarks.

"Mom, do you think Arabella’s lost her marbles? She's got such a great opportunity in front of her, and she doesn't know how to appreciate it. Either she's really sick in the head, or she's just putting on airs, dangling Mr. Eugene like a carrot, thinking she's something special."

Maybe she really thought she's a gem. That's why she liked to put on that aloof, disdainful demeanor.

"Bloody fool.” Beverly poured herself another cup of coffee and took a slow sip before asking, "With so many people present, why do you think Mr.

Eugene deliberately brought up the subject of succession?"

“What else could it be? He just wants everyone to know that Arabella has him as a strong backing, so they can't offend her easily!" Alma was even more exasperated at that point. She couldn't understand why Mr. Eugene had set his sights on Arabella.

Beverly spoke with a refined air, "No, his real goal is only one, and that is to put indirect pressure on Arabella. He was certain Arabella wouldn't embarrass him by refusing in front of everyone, so he deliberately brought it up."

But what he didn't expect was that Arabella didn't talk about succession or refusal. She just sidetracked the conversation.

Beverly thought, that girl was quite interesting, facing such an olive branch and dealing with it in such a manner.

"She's not stupid. Either she has too many olive branches to handle, or she doesn't need anyone else's help."

In Beverly's opinion, Arabella was a person who kept her cards close to her chest. She had previously warned her daughter not to mess with Arabella unnecessarily.

With her daughter's level of sophistication, she was no match for Arabella.

Like today's situation, her other strong backing, Mr. Eugene was revealed in front of everyone.

How many more were there that haven't come out?

No one knew.

"But Mom, I don't understand why did Mr. Eugene choose her?"
