The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2091

It wasn't just a few hundred or a few thousand, nor was it a measly sum under ten grand. It was a whopping one hundred thousand dollars!

The kid in front of me looked like he was loaded.

"Cash," Fitch added.

The driver's wife nodded, shock written all over her face, "Alright, I agree."

It wasn't just about the money; it was more about not letting her husband's death be in vain. If someone had really poisoned her husband, she'd go to the ends of the earth to get justice for him!

Arabella received a text from Jones and, with a sly smile playing on her lips, made her way to the basement.

Jack was exhausted, taking a breather on the side. He hadn't expected this tough nut to crack to be so resilient, refusing to spill even a single word no matter how hard he was pressed.

"So you've been serving Erik because he saved your parents back in the day, and after they passed, he took you under his wing like a godson, and that's why you work for him?"

Stinger's eyelids lifted as he looked at Arabella, surprised she had figured it out so quickly.

Arabella spoke with calm intensity, "But what you didn't know is that the killers on the boat were sent by Erik himself. Your parents wanted to leave the organization and after completing one last job for him, Erik reneged on his promise, deciding to silence them. Upon finding out, they had no choice but to flee with you by boat during the night. But Erik had no intentions of letting you escape; he planned a two-pronged attack—one on the boat, the other on shore. Either way, your family was meant to die."

The emotion in Stinger's eyes turned to agitation, and he finally spoke, "You're slandering him!"

"The graves are empty. I had them exhumed, and aside from two coffins, there were no remains," Arabella revealed, showing the photos on her phone.

Stinger, in disbelief, struggled frantically, as if he wanted to leap at the girl and end her for defiling his parents' grave, "You desecrated my parents' resting place, denying them peace even in death. Let me go, I'll kill you!"
