The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2165

“Thank you.” Beverly’s shoulders shuddered uncontrollably as her hands covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She didn’t know how to express her gratitude to her niece.

Thank heavens, it was because of her niece that her two daughters could live safely under the sun. And as a mother, she didn’t have to live in fear anymore.

Regret flooded her as she thought about all she had done to her niece.

“I’m so sorry.” Beverly knew that her niece’s family no longer needed her flimsy apology, but at that moment, she felt truly sorry towards her niece, her brother, and sister-in-law.

But it was all too late.

Some mistakes, once made, are made.

Every time her niece visited and called her “Auntie,” she felt a pang of discomfort and shame.

Arabella knew that although her uncle and aunt hadn’t explicitly asked Tomas to help with arson and murder, they had indeed done many things that hurt her parents over the years, including causing accidents while her parents were on vacation and sabotaging their work.

Since they did those things, they deserved to be punished.

“Take care of yourself in there, Auntie. I’ll come to visit when I can.”

Beverly looked at her, touched, “Okay, okay.”

Two years later.

Beverly couldn’t stop crying, overwhelmed by Kenneth and Louisa’s magnanimity, regretting her own pettiness and narrow-mindedness.

“Yesterday, after I made my first deal, Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Louisa were so happy. Aunt even opened the garage and told me to pick any car as a reward.”

Frederica continued, “You know what? That garage is full of the cars you once returned to them. They never touched them for these two years, never claiming them as their own, but have kept them for us sisters.”

Beverly’s tears fell once more, a mix of guilt, emotion, and apology intertwining, which made her wish she could go back and change the past.

“I chose the least expensive one, but Aunt wouldn’t have it. She insisted I pick one I truly loved. In the end, I chose a Porsche because in my memory, that was the year our family was very happy.”

Beverly wept profusely, her emotions surging like the tide, overwhelming and fierce.
