The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1659

"No problem!!" Candice's voice rang with excitement, "Bella, we're gonna treat you to dinner, all of us. Seriously, can't thank you enough for today."

After she hung up, some members of the Light Fleet were all over her, dying to know what Arabella had said on the phone. Candice just told them she had left.

"I wanted to pick her brain about racing."

"I wanted to grab a selfie with her."

"I wonder if she'd join Light Fleet."

"I wanted to be her friend."

"Shouldn't we be sharing the good news with Ms. Almond right away?"

"Yeah, let’s shoot Ms. Almond a video call, tell her we won!"

Steward couldn't remember the last time he’d seen Sean take a hit like this, especially not from a girl like Arabella.

But a hit was a hit; Sean had given strict orders to dump the girl at that Hill and strip her of her pride.

So there he was, Steward, with his goons, waiting at the starting line for Arabella to walk right into their trap.

But as he waited, there was no sign of the red sports car returning, not even the hum of its engine.

Ever since the red car had taken a different path down the hill, it hadn't come back. Could it be she wasn't planning on returning?

As he pondered this, one of his men came up to him, "Steward, the girl's left."

"What did you say?"

"She took another road."

Steward’s world spun. Sean had been defeated by her, and his mood was bound to be foul. If Steward didn’t catch the girl to soothe Sean's anger.
