The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472 

He was itching to say something, even if they disliked or looked down on him. 

But the lobby manager and some waitstaff blocked his way; clearly they didn’t want Attlee and Olga to approach. 

The Collins family was not your average rich family. 

Take the Panter family, for instance; they outdo the Murphy family in many aspects. But all members of the Panter family combined don’t have the same vibe as Louisa alone. 

Louisa’s elegance and nobility, etched by time, and the superiority shining in her eyes, that’s not something everyone can pull off. 

“How come they’re not bankrupt yet? And they’re still in the mood to host dinners?” Louisa left the restaurant with a trace of displeasure on her delicate face. Kenneth comforted her affectionately, saying, “Soon. Their company is now an empty shell; I reckon tonight’s banquet is them putting on a brave face.” 

The Murphy family now had no partners and no capital turnover, they were in chaos. 

Just looking at Attlee tonight, he seemed to have aged considerably. The passion in his eyes had evaporated, replaced by decay and loss. 

“When did these nobodies start to bother you? If need be) I can have someone deal with them.” Beverly, standing beside, revealed a noblewoman’s smile, speaking softly, “We don’t need to get upset over these nobodies; it’ll just age us.” 

In the eyes of the true elites, these nobodies weren’t worth 

mentioning. 

Lucas, standing beside her, mocked, “Isn’t our Bella the only one who aced this year’s college entrance exam? That family just held a banquet, hanging a banner saying their daughter did well in the college entrance exam and has a promising future. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think they were so great. Just a small family, flaunting the slightest accomplishment.” 

They didn’t know that the real strong ones kept a low profile.. 

Their perspective was so narrow. 

“Enough about them. Be careful on your way home.” 

Hearing Louisa say this, Beverly turned to Serena, asking affectionately, “Serena, would you like to come shopping with us and pick out a new dress?” 

Serena was so anxious she was stomping her foot. “I really didn’t hit Alma! I didn’t hit anyone over a dress; no, I didn’t lift a finger!” 

“Look at this child, all worked up.” Beverly couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Serena with a pleasant expression and saying, “Alright, I’m not blaming you. Since you don’t want the dress, I’ll get you something else next time. We can hang out some other time.” 

“But listen.” Before Serena could explain, she heard Lucas laughing: “Our whole family loves Bella; we should get together more often; let us see more of her.” 

Seeing their chauffeur drive up, Lucas opened the car door for his wife and kids, then exchanged some pleasantries before leaving.
