The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1673

The male driver was still uneasy, "If I die, how will I know you've transferred the remaining to my account?"

"You're putting your life on the line for me, do you really think I'd be so heartless, so utterly despicable as to shortchange you that 900 grands? Isn’t your life worth more than that? I promised you the money, and you'll get it, just do as I say."

The male driver seemed to waver.

“Your illness is a millstone around your family's neck. Do you really want them to live in debt and struggle after you're gone? I’ll be eternally grateful for you taking care of my problem. I swear on my heart, the 900 grand is yours!”

Finally, she convinced the driver, and he agreed to the deal.

Rudolf watched in disbelief from the audience as Maureen sat at the front table. He never imagined that the gentle and understanding woman he met for the first time could have such a terrifying side.

Back when his ex-wife was hit by a truck and landed in the ICU, he hadn't even known Maureen. So, his meeting Maureen, getting to know her, and eventually standing by her side - it was all orchestrated by her?

Rudolf staggered back.

“It was you, you hired someone to kill my sister.” Celeste stood up in disbelief, trembling as she pointed at Maureen across the table, “My sister didn’t even know you. She had no ill feelings toward you.”
