The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1652

The roar of the crowd was relentless, with most of the cheers echoing the name "Harlan," the hometown hero and a celebrated racer who had competed in plenty of races and earned his stripes as the deputy captain of the Drift Devils.

But Arabella, not a single spectator seemed to know her. Only a scant few voices chanted, "Come on, Light Fleet!!"

Candice tried to keep the spirits up, "We've got to trust Ms. Almond's judgment, and have faith in Bella!"

Mignon wanted to say that she really worried Arabella might get hurt. She knew all too well that Harlan would stop at nothing to win.

"I'll just go remind Bella to be careful of Harlan," Mignon quickly trotted over to Arabella.

Arabella replied with calmness, "Don't worry about it."

Meanwhile, Timothy Bynes received a tip that the mysterious girl who had caused a scene last night was spotted at Kowloon Bay, evidently drawn to the excitement of the night's car race.

Her unconventional ways extended even to her hobbies. Timothy raced to the venue, scouring the stands, unable to find the girl with the black mask, no one whose eyes resembled hers.

"Mr. Bynes, no sign of her."

"I can't find her over here either."

"Maybe she hit the restroom?"

"With only two cars in the race tonight, maybe she left early? Not enough action?"

"Mr. Bynes, we've combed through the stands and there's no sign of that lady."

Despite the distance, he could feel her cool, noble aura. It was the same feeling that had hit him the night before.

Her hair was up in the same bun, and without the mask, her face seemed quite pretty.

Timothy was mesmerized; the overall beauty of her face took him by surprise. Last night, he had thought that even if her face was ordinary beneath the mask, he was keen to meet her.

Now, he was utterly smitten. The crowd in front was thick, and Timothy could only stand on the steps, watching her from afar.

Which team was she with?

"Which teams are facing off tonight?" Timothy asked one of his men.
