The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1660

"Oh, right, Sean." Steward couldn't help himself and blurted out again.

Perhaps afraid of testing Sean's patience, he rushed his words, "We lost, and according to the bet, Harlan's gotta crawl from the starting line to the finish line while cursing himself as a lowlife."

Should he intervene?

If Sean stepped in, Light Fleet sure as heck wouldn't let Harlan crawl.

But Sean didn't even look back. As he walked away, he said coldly, "Let him crawl and then kick him out of the team."

He had no intention of keeping him around.

Ever since he founded the team, Sean never led his team into any races, instead he always sent Harlan to represent them.

Perhaps because of this, Harlan got cocky. As he thought Sean really valued him, he became more and more self-important, so much so that he played around with women, got drunk and caused scenes from time to time. But due to the Team's rep, Harlan was never held accountable everytime he stirred up troubles.

Now he's gone too far, making bets he can't honor. He brought this on himself.

Harlan's loss to Arabella and that fit he threw was a total embarrassment to the Drift Kings.

How could Sean possibly let him stay to keep losing face for the team and playing the big shot?

There’s a saying that goes like, “You've made your bed, now lie in it.”

Since he’s so keen on digging his grave, let him dig it far away.

At that moment, Harlan realized the boss had left, who showed no intention of bailing him out of this mess.

Although he could understand the boss's frustration with the loss, it would be out of the question for him to crawl from start to finish .

He was the vice-captain, for crying out loud!

When Harlan tried to leave, Candice stepped in front with some crew members and blocked his path: "You gotta pay up when you lose."
