The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399 

Before Louisa could finish, David interrupted, “I’m just telling it like it is. Everybody knows about her terrible temper. She’s notorious in the industry. To get her to custom–make a gift, you’ve got to catch her in the right mood!” 

*Just shut it already!” Louisa quickly changed the subject. “That girl you were talking about earlier, she’s prettier than your sister? Your sister is the most beautiful person in the world!” 

At this, David seemed a bit downcast. “True.” 

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the girl was his sister! 

Arabella took the gift box with mixed feelings. “Thanks, bro.” 

“Why so formal! Check it out, and see if you like it. If not, I’ll get you something else!” 

Arabella opened it to find not QY but another top brand’s Himited edition jewellery, including a necklace, bracelet, earrings, and ring. It was a whole set of jewellery, certainly not cheap. 

“I like it. It’s beautiful.” 

“Glad you like it.” David couldn’t resist ruffling her hair gently as if she were a cute little kid, impossible not to like. 

“Ms. Bella, you’re back. Late-night snacks are ready. David Collins, come and eat!” 

“Sis, where were you tonight?” David asked affectionately, following Arabella. “I saw you take a cab. I could’ve given you a ride since I was home!” 

“Thanks, bro.” 

“You guys eat first. I’ll go call Serena down.” Another servant noticed Serena Collins had been hiding in her room most of the day, possibly feeling blue because of poor grades. 

No sooner had David sat down than his phone rang. 

“She turned it down again? Forget it, and we won’t ask her anymore. Let it be.” 

Upon hanging up, Louisa couldn’t help but ask, “Who was that? What got you riled up?” 

“That arrogant music producer I was talking about earlier! I tried to get her to write a song, ten grand a note, but she turned it down, saying she didn’t need the money, or have the time! Tonight, my agent offered her twenty grand a note, but we still got turned down! Can you believe how cocky she is?” 

Louisa’s hand froze mid–air, the servants all stunned, their gazes turning to Arabella, 

Arabella calmly asked, “Is she really that proud?” 

“Unbelievably so! You have no idea. Getting her to write a song is like trying to reach the sky! So many people in the industry want her to write a song, even just a piece, but she refuses them all!” 

“She may be a world–renowned pianist and music producer, but she shouldn’t be so arrogant, don’t you think?” 

Arabella nodded. So the person who offered that high price for a song was her brother’s agent? 

Tonight, she had been busy questioning two suspects about a fire years ago, but they committed suicide before she could get anything out of them. She was not in a good mood, and turned down the order. She didn’t expect that they were all family!
