The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058

At the mention of this, a shade of unease crossed Martha's features, her hand unconsciously fluttering up to smooth down her hair.

This small gesture did not go unnoticed by Arabella, only serving to confirm her suspicions. Just as she had suspected, Martha was indeed wearing a wig.

The living room was dim, the only source of light being the faint glow filtering in from the garden lamps outside. It gave the room an eerie feel, setting one's nerves on edge.

Martha glanced uneasily towards the door. "Miss Bella, I think you may be mistaken. There's nobody outside"

"Oh, do you think that by hiding, I wouldn't know who you are? Erik, your acting skills are subpar at best. Did you really think you could fool me in my own house?" Arabella retorted, her voice cold as ice as she gazed in their direction.

“But if you continue with your little schemes..."

"What schemes?" Martha interjected, feeling wronged. "Miss Bella, you're making accusations without any evidence. How can you treat people like this?"
