The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1333

Chapter 1333

The gossip was spreading like wildfire, with the potential to circle back home, landing in the ears of teachers and classmates.

If her admirers ever found out, that would be utterly mortifying!

Who knew if some random passerby snapped a photo, or if there's a video secretly making the rounds?

That would be a real headache.

Meanwhile, the household staff continued their hushed conversations.

“Did you guys see the gorgeous clothes, shoes, and bags Mrs. Griffith bought for Ms. Bella yesterday?"

"Mrs. Griffith's taste is impeccable; she’s renowned for her fashion sense throughout high society."

"It must've cost a pretty penny, at least a few grand, I reckon. Mrs. Griffith really dotes on Ms. Bella."

"Well, she is her niece by marriage, and it was quite the reunion. How could she not spoil her?"

Upon hearing this, Serena clenched her fists tightly!

Suddenly, someone spotted her lurking nearby, and with a start, they stood up straight, bowing respectfully, "Miss Serena, what brings you here?"

The other servants looked over, dropping their chores to bow in turn, "Serena, we're so pleased you've come. Sir and madam will be thrilled."

With a practiced smile, Serena inquired, "Where's Aunt Eunice?"

"She's inside."

"I think I'll go give her a surprise. Carry on with your work."

As Serena gracefully made her exit, the servants wanted to mention something but couldn't get the words out in time.

Her voice quivered as she continued, "Aunt Eunice, I've missed you. Seems like all those church visits weren't in vain. My prayers have been answered. Seeing you here, safe and sound, it's all worth it."

"You've been praying for me in church?" Eunice looked down at her, smiling, "Why are you crying now?"

"It's nothing." Serena quickly turned her tears into a beam, "I'm just overjoyed to see you again, couldn't help it"

"You silly child,” Eunice chuckled.

“Aunt Eunice, you and sister are all dressed up; where are you heading?" Serena clung to Eunice's hand like a child, "Can you take me with you? I'm so bored all by myself."

"We're off to Arlen's birthday bash. Your sister and I just need to drop by, Eunice explained with a smile. "Why don't you pick a room to rest in? We'll be back before you know it."

There was an important matter to attend to tonight, and it wouldn't be appropriate to bring her along.

Serena had been pampered all her life, and tonight's event was not the place for her.
