The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 

Yolanda went pale the moment she heard the news. 

No, the Murphy family can’t go bankrupt, at least not now! 

Her engagement party with Zachary was just around the corner, and if they went bankrupt now, she wouldn’t even be able to marry a regular rich kid like Zachary! 

Her future would be just like any other ordinary person’s. No, she couldn’t let that happen! 

“I’ll go talk to her,” Olga said, getting ready to walk into the sick room in her high heels. 

“Right now, we should start selling off my shares. The more we can stall, the better. Don’t bother with her; she won’t help, Attlee sighed, seemingly having foreseen the outcome. 

Olga wanted to say something, but Attlee cut her off. “You know her temperament; the more we want her help, the less likely she is to give it. Let’s wait a few days before we approach her.” 

“What’s she doing with all those shares and cash? She can’t take it with her, and she won’t help us solve our problems!” Olga was more resentful of the old woman after saying this. 

So was Yolanda. She wished the old woman would just kick the bucket already. After all, she hadn’t contributed anything to their descendants and always favored Arabella! 

At least if she were dead, she wouldn’t be in the way or waste medical expenses! 

“That’s her property! Now, help me spread the word and see if anyone we know is willing to buy our shares at a high price. Remember, this needs to be hush–hush.” 

Yolanda’s engagement party was about to begin. If people found out that the head of the Murphy family was selling off shares, they would definitely think the Murphy family was going under. Once the stock price dropped, the company’s crisis would worsen, and it would be even harder to recover! 

“I got it!” Olga was very pissed off. She hadn’t expected to end up having to sell her shares without gaining anything. 

Meanwhile, Jack got the news not long after Olga spread the word. 

“Boss, the Collins family’s attack on the Murphy family has intensified. Attlee can’t hold out any longer; he’s started selling off his shares,” 

Arabella was surprised that her parents would attack the Murphy family for no reason. Was it because of her? 

With that thought in mind, she tapped her fingers lightly on the table and started planning. “Spread the word that the Murphy family is going bankrupt. Create some negative news to add pressure and make the stock price plummet. Then have Dylan step in and buy up all the shares from Attlee.” 

“Alright, no problem!” 

Jack knew that once Arabella took action, no one else mattered! 

They had been too lenient with the Murphy family in the past. 

“Besides the shares, what other assets do they have?” Arabella asked, lifting her head.
