The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1978

The reporter was visibly shocked, "We all knew Arabella as Summer, with that angelic voice, but who would've guessed she could compose."

"She's got another identity as Melody."

Those words hit like a bombshell.

Arabella was none other than the world-renowned pianist and composer, Melody.

It didn't take long for the internet sleuths to uncover that a while back, David had released two hit singles, both crafted by Melody, her notes and lyrics keeping him on top of the charts.

Turned out, Arabella had been writing for her brother all along.

"I knew it was her! I saw her at a piano awards ceremony once. Someone tried to rip off her piece and she set the record straight on stage!" a netizen spilled the beans.

"And this emerald bracelet," Shirley said, flaunting the piece of jewelry on her wrist to the reporters, "Bella gave it to me."

Connoisseurs in the crowd could tell that bracelet wasn't dime-a-dozen; it was worth a fortune, probably around ten million.

The online buzz kept growing.

[I work at Collins Fashion, and Arabella took over the family business the first month she was back, breathing new life into it. We all adore her. Even when she went back to school, she kept things running smooth as silk.]

[It's no coincidence that Arabella and Hans had meetings together. She's got the same air about her. Totally from the same family.]

[I remember when Serena and Arabella visited the Collins Group. Some thought they were sisters separated at birth—one raised in the spotlight and the other groomed in secret to take over. Turns out, they got it all mixed up!]

[No wonder Arabella was never a name dropped in high society. She was only recognized as part of the family six months ago.]

"Arabella was found six months ago, living under the same roof, rightfully engaged to Romeo. We saw them cozying up at your place and you misled us, making us think Arabella was the seducer."

"So your last name is Lott, not Collins? Should I change your contact to Serena Lott?"

"Kicked out of a billionaire's home. Does that make you poor now? No wonder you haven't been flaunting on Facebook lately."

"You're heartless, stealing another girl's place in a wealthy family!"

"Disgusting!"

"Such a poser. You said you were sitting with the McMillians for New Year's dinner, bragging about having steak."
