The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072

With enough practice and a keen sense of hearing, one could even guess the numbers on the dice just by the sound they made inside the cup.

In her quest to beat her grandfather at the game, she practiced relentlessly, gradually increasing the difficulty level. To this day, she could roll ten dice and have them all stand on their ends.

It wasn't trickery or luck that got her this far, but pure skill.

"Miss, would you be interested in joining me for a game?"

"Name your price. As long as you're willing to team up with me, money is no object.”

"Why don't you play with me? Any losses are on me, but we'll split the winnings. You take seventy percent and I take thirty percent.’

Many were vying for a chance to team up with Arabella, some even resorting to arguments.

Seeing his chance, Murray stood up and said, “Miss, may I have a word?"

Arabella followed him out to a small bridge.

“I must confess, Nightshade was bought at a high price not long after I arrived in Watertown.”

The light in Arabella’s eyes turned icy. So, they played her for a fool?

“Let's split the $32 million. I'll take half" suggested Murray earnestly.

But Arabella’s eyes remained cold.

She was here for Nightshade.

Sensing her displeasure, Murray hastily added, "How about I take thirty percent? or, how about I take twenty percent?"

Seeing her expression unchanged, he steeled himself and said, “You take ninety percent. I can't go any lower!“

“Who did you sell it to?” Arabella’s voice was as cold as ice.

"A big shot whose name I cannot reveal. Once he wants something, there's no way we can get it back. But, I can

help you find another Nightshade. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who should have one. Let me contact him, see if he can deliver it tomorrow. If he can, I'll give it to you for free!”

Arabella took out her phone, "Your nurnber""

Murray quickly rattled off his digits.

After noting them down, she dialed his number, "This is mine.”

Murray saved her number immediately, a little in awe. He cautiously asked, “So about our partnership, will you

consider it?"

Arabella sent him a string of bank account numbers, “Transfer ninety percent of the money to my account first.’

Murray was taken aback but quickly agreed, "No problem."

As Arabella prepared to leave, Murray couldn't help but blurt out, "I'll transfer the money shortly. Please give it

some thought. Don't consider anyone else. They're not as reliable as me! Any losses are on me, and we'll split

the winnings. You can get ninety percent!"

Arabella walked off the bridge, ready to leave Watertown, when a group of ten staff members hurriedly stopped her.

“Excuse us, miss, could you wait a moment?"

Arabella raised an eyebrow, were they sore losers, looking to cause trouble?

"I apologize for the inconvenience."

The manager was on the phone, seeking instructions from higher-ups on whether they should let her leave.

Arabella looked coldly at the ten frail staff members, if a fight broke out, they would be at a disadvantage.

But her presence in Watertown had already drawn a lot of attention, any more commotion could attract unwanted company.

She didn't want to bring trouble upon herself, especially if Murray could deliver Nightshade tomorrow, she could return home the day after. There was no need to engage these people and stir up unnecessary trouble.

“How long do I have to wait?” Arabella suddenly asked.

The ten staff members were taken aback. She was more cooperative than they expected, given her icy demeanor.

They underestimated her because of her youth, and they were clearly shaken.

Chapter 1073 "Just a moment,’ the leading staff member said.

“Alright, bring me something to eat and drink.” Arabella strolled onto an empty boat, settled down, and began to appreciate the scenery on the water.

Several resplendent golden buildings reflected on the water, like an enchanting illusion.

The staff were taken aback by her audacity. Wasn't this young lady afraid of the potential danger of staying behind?

Nonetheless, they brought her food and beverages, attending to her diligently.

Meanwhile.

The manager urgently dialed Danny’s number.

"Danny, we've got a big problem! A girl just walked away with 32 million dollars from us. What's more, others started to win as well! We're taking a huge hit tonight!"

"What?" Danny's voice held a note of surprise. "A girl?"

Not a seasoned gambler, but a girl?

"Yes, she looks around seventeen or eighteen, but her dice rolling skills are comparable to yours back in the day!"

"How dare you!" Danny scolded, "Comparing anyone to me? Can she discern the dice by sound, can she roll the dice into a column, can she roll whatever number she wants?"

“She can do all of that!"

"What?" Danny realized that this girl was not ordinary and calmly asked, "Send me the surveillance footage. Let me see."

Soon, the manager sent over the live surveillance video.

Upon seeing the girl's familiar outfit, Danny was shocked. "Mr. Sampson, look."

It was the girl from tonight!

Dressed in casual attire, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, her dice-rolling actions were as smooth as flowing water.

Sampson gazed at the girl, and he said appreciatively, ‘This girl is remarkable."

“Mr. Sampson, have you noticed anything unusual?" Danny focused intently on the video but couldn't see any signs of cheating.

Sampson replied with interest, "I never expected her hands to be capable of saving lives and gambling."

"Mr. Sampson, do you think she’s cheating? At her age, how could she be so skilled?” Danny was still skeptical of the girl's abilities. He scrutinized the screen so hard that he might have drilled a hole in it, but he couldn't find any evidence of cheating.

Sampson dismissed his concerns, “With enough practice, anyone could do it."

"So will we just let her go?"

She just won 32 million dollars from Murray!

It was not thousands or tens of thousands, but 32 million dollars!

Asum that large.

If they didn't investigate.

What if she came back?

"She won fair and square, why shouldn't we let her go?" Sampson said with a grand gesture, "We should not only let her go but also treat her courteously and welcome her back."

"Welcome her back?" Danny was incredulous. With her winning streak, wouldn't they go bankrupt?

“Where is she now?” Sampson asked.
