The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1617

"Because Ms. Arabella is our top client at LM, she naturally gets priority."

"What are you implying?"

"Didn't Mrs. Collins inform you? You're no longer a VIP with our brand. Ms. Arabella has taken your place."

"What did you just say?" Serena doubted her own eyes, but the message from Giselle was clear; Arabella had usurped her status as LM's VIP.

She was stunned for a moment before asking, "When did this happen?"

"Just now."

Serena hadn't expected this. Not only had her mother not allowed those designers to come and tailor clothes for her, she had actually transferred her membership to Arabella.

"I am now Ms. Arabella's personal account manager, and unfortunately, I can no longer continue to serve you, Ms. Serena. Should you become a VIP with our brand again in the future, a new manager will be assigned to you."

Serena, still in disbelief, shakily attempted to reach out to other high-end brand account managers, only to find out that she was no longer considered a VIP anywhere - only Arabella was!!

And all of this had just happened; her mother had revoked all her VIP privileges in one fell swoop and handed them to Arabella!!

[Serena, did you get it all sorted? How much did it cost? With your connections, LM must've given you a hefty discount. Thanks so much, you've saved me a bundle. Which card should I transfer to?]

Reading Juliet's message, Serena paused for a long while before replying, [Juliet, I just found out that my mom thinks LM is too downmarket for our family's current status. So, I'm no longer their VIP client. Sorry about that, you might want to check out other brands.]
