The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1697

"This is what’s called ‘All’s fair in love and war’," Arabella smiled, tossing Sean's own words back at him.

Sean's smile turned even more devilish, likely not expecting the young lady to be so cunning. With a casual flick of his wrist, his men stood down, their weapons no longer pointed at them.

"Sean said he'd sell me the island," Arabella stated as she pulled out a contract from her bag and laid it on the hospital tray table. "I've already drawn up the agreement."

Of course, she had to keep her true identity secret, so the signature on the document was Horace's.

"Now it just needs Sean's signature."

As she spoke, Arabella placed a check on the tray table, “Here are the five million dollars.”

All duly noted with the date and amount.

"All Sean has to do is write his name on the 'pay to the order of' line, and then he can cash it at the bank."

"Hmm."

Sean couldn't help but chuckle with a playful interest, seemingly surprised that the young lady was so well-prepared. "And what if I refuse to sign?"

"Then there's no guarantee for your follow-up treatment," Arabella reminded him bluntly, "What if the seventeenth ingredient for your treatment slips my mind, or if you suffer complications after surgery, or need an additional operation to remove blood clots from your heart?"

Steward hadn’t anticipated Arabella daring to use the prescription as leverage over Sean. But what really threw them was realizing that indeed, they had no way to counter her.

"Pass me the pen."

Sean maintained a carefree smile, looking more like a tiger toying with a kitten than a man at Arabella's mercy.

Reluctantly, Steward uncapped the pen and handed it to Sean. He watched as Sean swiftly signed his name.
