The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487 

“Boss, Olga is a real money–grubber. There’s no way she’d give up her assets easily at this crucial moment,” Jack said. 

“Weren’t we planning to bid on a plot of land in the suburbs?” Arabella already had a plan in motion. 

“Yeah.” Jack nodded. “Dylan’s interested in the same plot. He wants to help you win the bid, but the McMillan Corporation is also eyeing it. They want to build the biggest cultural and tourism complex in Summerfield there.” 

Rumor had it that the McMillan Corporation wanted to build the nation’s largest Ferris wheel on that plot, alongside a bustling seaside opera house, a large commercial street, luxury hotels, and so on. 

Arabella analyzed, “Attlee is in desperate need of money. He’s already sold off his shares and definitely wants to make a hefty profit. We can spread the word that the land is very valuable and would bring a lot of money once bought. On the day of the auction, I’ll discuss it with the others and get Attlee to buy the land.” 

“Boss, you, Jack had to express his admiration, “your strategy is brilliant.” 

The price of the land would require Attlee to use all of his assets, including loans, just to barely afford it. 

But there’s a catch with the land; Attlee would definitely regret it later. 

“Spread more rumors that the land is very popular and valuable. Have more people around Attlee to create a tense atmosphere.” 

“Got it!” Jack immediately started preparing. 

The next day. 

Arabella visited the hospital’s Room 301, brought some fruits and snacks for the old lady, and installed surveillance equipment in a high place. 

If people didn’t carefully examine every corner of the room, they wouldn’t notice it. It blended with the wall color. 

All in all, Arabella always satisfied the old lady’s needs. The old lady had been wanting to install surveillance equipment for a while. 

“I can check what’s happening in the room through my phone. If you ever get bored, I can chat with you through the surveillance, but you won’t be able to see me.” 

“It’s okay; as long as I can hear your voice, I’m satisfied.” Grace’s mood improved due to Arabella’s visit. She wanted to peel an apple for her. 

But Arabella took the apple from her and said, “Let me do these things. You need to rest now. After your surgery, when you recover, I’ll take you traveling to other countries.” 

“That would be great.” Grace had long wanted to see other countries. “Whenever you have holidays, take me with you.” 

“No problem.” Arabella peeled more fruits for her. 

Looking at how well–behaved Arabella was and recalling Yolanda’s cunning eyes, Grace felt that there was no comparison. Arabella was so much better! 

“Grandma, which country do you like the most?” Arabella handed over the cut fruits and asked softly. 

“I like any country as long as you take me there.” Grace also handed her some fruits. “Have some.”
