The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391 

“This gal only took up a job at our school out of respect for me. All said and done, she has only taught a couple of classes to the students. But she’s a busy bee and I can understand that.” 

As to why she chose Westerly College, well, Grandpa Beck taught her so much about medicine that she had surpassed her teacher. She desired to give back, and Grandpa Beck wished to study some drugs. Working with her, he could make faster progress. 

The old professor finally understood why the best students did not choose their school. It turned out that the student was already a mysterious special professor with a higher rank than him at Summerfield College. He even invited her personally to study here. What an insult to the face. 

Arabella closed the news app and was about to take a breather when her phone buzzed again. 

This time, it was a call from Grandpa Phillip. 

“Oh, Bella, you are just too wonderful! Top scores in so many subjects! I’m so proud! I’ve got to reward you! Anything you fancy?” Phillip’s voice was full of cheer and excitement. 

“Nothing; studying is my duty. There is no need for a reward,” Arabella said with a gentle smile. 

“Come on, my dear, I must reward you! If you have no particular preferences, then I’ll choose for you!” 

“Grandpa, you really don’t need to bother.” 

“Bother? Rewarding you can’t be deemed as a bother! The McMillian family’s money is your money! Don’t feel compelled.” 

Arabella didn’t know what to say. 

“I’ll give it some thought,” said Phillip, then suddenly asked, “Has Romeo given you any gifts?” 

Arabella answered truthfully, “No.” 

“That rascal, you got top scores, and he didn’t even reward you!” Phillip was about to get mad when he got an idea, “Bella, don’t tell Romeo that I’m sending you a gift.” 

Arabella was somewhat perplexed. 

“If his gift is more fun or valuable, then I lose! I’ll deal with him after I send mine!” Phillip spoke at length before hanging up. 

Arabella’s phone buzzed again just as her ears were settling down.. This time, it was a message from Kelly. 

“Bella, are you free at eight tonight? I got the pill you wanted in Northshire, only one left! But I have something to deal with right now and can’t come back immediately. I’ll have my guy deliver it to you. Can you make it to the airport by eight tonight? My guy’s catching a flight to Summerfield and has a five–minute window.” 

Among the medicine her grandparents needed next, there was one called tranquilizer, which was useful for treating brain injuries. 

But extracting tranquilizer took several days, buying it directly from the black market could save time. 

Arabella quickly responded with her slender fingers, “I’ll be there on time.”
