The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1616

Since Ms. Kiki had stepped in and filed a complaint, the tide of public opinion was turning. The situation was now looking up for Bella, and with the heat dying down, nobody could claim she had paid to make the scandal go away.

"We could still hire some online supporters to steer Bella's image in an even better direction."

"I need to talk to you," Louisa's voice laden with concern.

"What is it?"

Louisa asked the designers to continue tweaking their drafts and then led Kenneth out to the garden. She recounted everything Myrna had told her, not leaving out a single detail.

Kenneth was hit like a ton of bricks, seemingly unable to believe that the girl he once thought of as his precious daughter was capable of such deceit.

Meanwhile, Serena had been waiting since 3 in the afternoon. It was now past 5 o'clock, and the designers still hadn't shown up to take her measurements.

Occasionally, she'd pick up her binoculars to spy on the main house, but there was no sign of anyone coming her way.

After a while, she saw the designers leave the mansion and drive off into the distance.

Her heart sank. It seemed her parents, now that they had their own daughter, were showing their true colors, forgetting even her New Year's outfit on such an important holiday!

So much for fairness, there was no such thing as equality in this family, was there?
