The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 

She had some design knowledge, but she’s around the same age as them and didn’t have a fancy college degree. Serena guessed she probably had only a high school diploma? 

So, she’s just an assistant, after all. 

Thinking about that, Arabella wasn’t that impressive! “Actually, my dad arranged her job. I don’t really know the details.” Serena was worried about saying something wrong and being awkward if she got found out, so she played dumb. 

“Your brother seems to fancy her.” 

“Say what?” Serena subconsciously gripped her phone tightly, her breath almost stopping. 

“Your brother is a judge. He publicly stated that he came for that girl. He praised her performance, said he looked forward to her future performance, and he even gave her full marks.” 

Serena couldn’t believe her ears. Hans actually became a judge for Arabella and gave her full marks! 

What the heck!! 

“Brooklyn, my phone’s dying. Let’s chat later.” Serena was unable to maintain her composure. After gently ending the call, her face twisted in fury! 

She had been trying so hard to please him for three days, and he so easily accepted Arabella. 

What was the point of her effort? 

Why did Arabella have to come back, steal her parents, and now try to steal Hans!? 

She should have been tormented to death by the Murphy family. She shouldn’t have come back to this family! 

With that thought, her nails dug deep into her palm, her teeth clenched in anger. 

On the other side, Brooklyn looked at the ended call, feeling something was off about Serena, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. 

She couldn’t help but text, “Serena, you didn’t say why your sister is so close with your fiance. What’s their deal? You saw them holding hands. Aren’t you mad?” 

Serena got more pissed off when she received this message. 

The høst strutted onto the stage, smiling and said, “The first round is over now. The names of the top ten contestants are on the big screen behind me, let’s give a round of applause to the advancing designers and their assistants. 

The audience clapped enthusiastically. 

“As you can see, the highest scorer of the first round is designer No.16 and her assistant! Let’s give them another round of applause.” 

Thunderous applause erupted again.. 

“Now, I’ll announce the rules for the second round. Out of these ten designers, only three will advance to the third round.” 

The crowd was buzzing again. 

The audience didn’t expect so many to be eliminated. 

That’s intense! 

These ten designers were already talented. The ones remaining after the elimination must be some real heavyweights. 

“First, let me explain the competition. The ten designers and their assistants will receive the same dress, and these dresses will have the same stains. Contestants need to use the materials provided by the organizer to transform these stained dresses into the most eye–catching designs. The time limit is forty minutes.”. 

Then, the staff began distributing the dresses.
