The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1972

"Don't worry, kiddo, take your time eating. I've got your back," Sampson said, his eyes twinkling with the indulgent affection of an elder for a younger family member.

Meanwhile, in her personal live stream, a user named "CreamPuff" spilled the beans. [I knew it was them! I saw Sampson and that girl at Lidaria a while back. They went shopping at QY together. There was this bombshell who came up to Sampson, saying she had learned his language just for him and wanted his contact info. Who would've thought Louisa would shoo her away.]

"CreamPuff" continued, [Back then, everyone thought Sampson was dating Arabella since he was carrying loads of shopping bags. People online were slandering her, accusing her of maxing out Sampson's credit cards on luxury goods. But now it seems likely that those QY bags Sampson was holding were gifts from Arabella for her beloved uncle, right?]

This speculation won a lot of people over.

Reporters rushed to verify the story with Sampson, who confirmed, "Yeah, those gifts were indeed from Bella to me. I didn't spend a dime."

The live stream audience was stunned. Previously, the incident had caused Arabella to be viciously attacked online internationally. If it weren't for Sampson stepping in to cool things down, she might have been blasted from abroad all the way back home.

Now, many realized they had misunderstood this filial young woman, who was merely buying gifts for her uncle, and never expected to stir up such a backlash. Some netizens even started to apologize to Arabella online.

"All the suits, the cufflinks, it's all from Bella," Sampson said, casting another warm glance at his niece.

People began to notice that Arabella wasn't just generous. She had impeccable taste. The clothes and accessories she chose for Sampson made him look even more dashing and youthful.

[At last, I can speak up! I was the jewelry store clerk who served Mr. Sampson and Ms. Bella. She showered him with gifts, and he was so touched that he brought her back to our store to pick out jewelry for herself. Whenever Sampson heard about something that would complement Bella's style, he'd have it wrapped up.]

[Bella was reluctant to let him pay, but Sampson boldly declared that if she didn't let him buy the gifts, he'd just buy the entire brand and put it in her name.]

[He really treats Bella so well!]

[Their relationship isn't for show, it's genuine care. I think being Bella's uncle or Sampson's niece must be such a joy.]

Sean glanced at her, noting she was about his sister's age and still quite young. He then looked past her to the cameraman trembling behind her and said with a trace of irritation, "If you're going to film, do it properly."

The image was all shaky!

The cameraman was not just scared; his body was betraying him!

Seizing the moment to deflect, Sean's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he said, "Serena? She's nothing to me."

Everyone was shocked.

"By the way, her last name is Lott, not Collins. Don't mention her in front of me again. Bad luck." Sean was about to take a sip of his drink when he suddenly remembered his sister's warning about his injury and put the glass down again.
