The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2106

Watching Arabella's retreating figure, Martin couldn't help but chase after her. "Wait up."

Arabella stopped and turned to look at him.

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Martin looked into her eyes, earnestly saying, "You need to be careful these days. There's a mysterious figure who's after you."

Arabella was aware of this person; Martin had mentioned him before.

"I used to worry about Serena's safety, so I was blackmailed and threatened by that person. I was keeping that mysterious figure appeased until you told me the truth about my mother’s fall and the car accidents. He gave me a deadline of midnight tomorrow to take action. He wants to hear the bad news about you, and if I don't comply, he's threatened to come after my family."

Arabella hadn't expected this.

"I was hoping he could come up with a final antidote to relieve Serena from her suffering, so I had to pretend to obey him. But now, I no longer care about Serena. That mystery man can't threaten me with that anymore. I'll ensure my family's safety myself. You take care."

Arabella nodded. "Thanks for the heads up."

Jack, waiting outside the hospital, saw Arabella stride out with a commanding presence and hurriedly opened the car door for her.

"Did you get the phone?"

"No." Arabella's voice was calm as she got into the car.

Jack didn't close the door but asked in confusion, "Why not? Wouldn't Martin hand it over?"

"With the way Martin is, he'll deliver it sooner or later without me asking. There's no rush."

Earlier, Arabella had deliberately told him that he was no longer on the blacklist, hinting that he could contact her anytime once he got hold of that phone.
