The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1814

Otto's head snapped around at the sound of a familiar voice. A broad grin spread across his face as he exclaimed, "Sean? You're back from abroad? When did this happen? Why didn't you hit me up for a meal? Perfect timing, let me introduce you to my girlfriend."

As he spoke, Otto slung an arm around Arabella's shoulder with a mischievous smirk, ready to introduce Sean. "This here is."

Arabella recoiled from his touch in disgust.

Otto chuckled awkwardly and continued, "You know, the Collins I mentioned earlier? This is Sean, our cousin. Go on, tell cousin Sean your name."

His gesture only fanned the flames of anger in Sean and Romeo's eyes.

"Your girlfriend?" Sean couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh before yanking Arabella behind him and swinging a fierce punch at Otto's face. "Since when did my sister become your girlfriend?"

Daphne let out a terrified scream from the sidelines, unable to believe the unfolding chaos and even more shocked that Sean had just openly admitted that the girl was his sister.

What was going on? This was bad.

Seeing the commotion, the store staff quickly ushered customers to a cozy waiting area inside, serving them tea and water while asking for their patience. Sean had some business to take care of, and the manager would be offering them discount vouchers shortly.

The blinds came down, cutting off the outside world. The customers were left in the dark about the drama unfolding beyond their view.

The door to the women's section closed, leaving only Sean and his party.

Otto was floored by the sudden punch, dazed and confused. Before he could gather his senses, Sean had him by the collar, throwing several more vicious punches.

"You dare lay a hand on my sister? You looking to lose those hands?" Sean roared, giving Otto a thrashing.
