The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1719

At the coffee shop back then, Romeo and Arabella were inseparable, with eyes only for each other. But now, danger was knocking at the girl's door, and as her fiancé, how could he stay so calm?

The thing was, these people looked a lot like professional killers. What if something happened to Arabella?

And there was that guy who got stabbed and was covered in blood.

It seemed like Arabella had gotten tangled up in some messy affair..

Derrick felt he had to go check on her.

Rushing downstairs, Derrick found Timothy and a bunch of security guards standing around like lost sheep, the place cleared out.

"Where's Arabella??" Derrick approached, his voice laced with urgency.

"I got here just in time to see her and her crew drive off."

They were actually chasing those other guys.

The people scattered in all directions, leaving just a few leaders. Arabella and her companion went to chase after them.

Derrick glanced at the fourth-floor balcony, where the blood-soaked man still lay slumped against the railing, motionless.

What on earth was going on? How had Arabella gotten involved in such a horrific situation?

Did she have some secret identity they didn't know about?

"Why are we chasing that car ahead, boss?" Horace pushed the gas pedal to the floor, but was puzzled as to why Arabella wasn't calling it quits, especially since they had already taken out the Viper.

If it weren't for those jerks surrounding him, he would have leapt to the fourth floor to save Viper himself, instead of watching helplessly as he was stabbed to death.

"With his dying breath, he pointed to that guy with the buzz cut and told me two words, 'Tower Bay’."

"Tower Bay? That's been a derelict building site for years. There was this big-shot developer who planned to build a fancy residential area, complete with an agreement with the local government to plant oak trees, improve the sidewalks, invest in hot springs, and the like. They said it was all set, but the developer went bankrupt halfway through the construction."

And so the building became a derelict site.

As Horace shared this, he couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that with his last breath, Viper had a change of heart, wanting to tell us that those guys, including the buzz cut, have their hideout in Tower Bay?"
