The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 

A stunning and haughty girl walked through the door, followed by a nanny. 

“Is Alma here?” Beverly ended her call at once, pretending to be cross. “Why are you so slow, child? Your cousin is already here! And Lina, why didn’t you remind her?” 

Nanny Lina immediately bowed her head, apologizing, “I’m sorry, ma’am, my bad.” 

“Come here, let me introduce you. This is your cousin, Arabella Collins. Arabella, this is your cousin, Alma.” 

Arabella grinned, realizing the girl who bumped into her and stepped on her foot at the mall without apologizing today was actually her cousin, Alma. Wasn’t she the one who said that QY’s clothes looked ordinary and not worthwhile to buy after looking around? 

Why was she head to toe in QY today? 

Alma’s face turned red as she noticed Arabella’s gaze, as if someone had just slapped her. 

Perhaps it was unexpected to encounter Arabella here. A trace of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure, forcing a calm demeanor, and asked, “Mom, is she really the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Collins?” 

“Yes, she is. Now say hello!” 

Alma was a bit sour to find out that her cousin could casually wear shoes worth two hundred grand. 

“What are you standing there for? Say hello!” Beverly looked at her sternly, then turned to the others and laughed. “She’s probably starstruck by her gorgeous cousin, right?” 

“Ma’am, you might not know, but Ms. Alma was ticked off today! She said she met a very rude girl at the mall.” 

Before Lina could finish, Alma interrupted lowly, “Lina!” 

Lina didn’t know that the “rude” girl mentioned was Arabella and thought that Alma didn’t want to talk about it because she didn’t want to ruin the mood. So, she added on her own, “Ms. Alma has never been wronged since she was little! Ma’am, we need to deal with this Who dares to mess with our young lady?” 

Arabella chuckled at this and said coolly, “I think the one who was wronged was the person you stepped on and bumped into without apologizing, right?” Beverly was confused. “What’s going on?” 

Louisa was quick to catch on: “Arabella, did you meet Alma before? Do you know what happened?” 

“Yeah, we have.” Arabella shrugged. “Alma bumped into someone, stepped on them, and didn’t want to apologize. That person’s shoes cost two hundred grand, and she decided to pay twenty grand for dry cleaning, but” 

Everyone chimed in, “But what?” 

“That person didn’t accept the money but donated it instead. I guess that’s why Alma is upset.”
