The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1954

This key was a symbol of the McMillian family's wealth and power.

But to everyone's surprise, George said with a grin, "It's already been given away."

The room went electric with shock!

Everyone knew the value of that key.

And no one expected him to part with it so quickly!

"We adore our daughter-in-law," George continued. "She's been part of the family for ages. Jennifer and I travel the globe constantly, and in the event of an unforeseen mishap, she can use this key to inherit everything we've built."

They chose to bypass their only son, entrusting their fortune to their daughter-in-law.

That spoke volumes about their trust in her!

The crowd was dumbstruck, and as the scene was broadcasted live, viewers at home were equally astonished and envious.

"Serena's got one heck of a life, to be held in such high regard by the McMillians!"

"What's her secret?"

"Love is real again for me."

"Didn't think love in the high society could be this sweet. I've gone full lemon-bitter today."

"Super jealous! She's living my dream!"

Meanwhile, Tomas and Donna stepped out of the third car, swarmed by reporters.

When asked if they were pleased with their future niece by marriage, they said with affection, "Absolutely delighted."

"Is your wedding with Romeo happening sooner? I'm at the hotel entrance, there's a swarm of reporters, and your relatives and neighbors are here too. Can you invite me in for a meal, to get a glimpse? I'm kind of an influencer now, told my followers we're buddies. Some want me to live stream from inside, can you hook me up?"

Serena didn't even finish reading all the messages but she had an inkling of what was going on.

Back when she was with the Collins family, Kenneth and Louisa had mentioned throwing Arabella a homecoming banquet more than once.

And now, the time had come.

She checked online and sure enough, the top trending topic was:
