The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 

Arabella had just returned to her room when her phone buzzed with a new message. 

【Someone’s been asking around for Dr. Bell. Apparently there’s a really complicated case that needs ‘Dr. Bell’s‘ help urgently.] 

Arabella replied immediately: “Busy, no time.” 

Tomorrow was Monday, and she had to check on the company her father had given her. If she didn’t, they would just transfer her more money. 

[The other party is loaded. They say they’ll pay whatever it takes just to get ‘Dr. Bell.] 

The message was sent, but Arabella had already logged off. 

She headed into the bathroom for a shower. As soon as she got dressed, her phone rang. 

The screen displayed a strange number, but she answered without a second thought, as if it were just business as usual. 

“Attlee has cost us a fortune! We’ve lost so much! So much! I wish I could go give his family a piece of my mind. I really want to know how they managed to raise such an idiot! A while ago, he wanted to invest in some projects. I practically laid out a roadmap for him; I almost handed him the money on a silver platter! But no! He not only lost everything but dragged us down with him! If this keeps up, you won’t even see me anymore! I’m going to die from frustration!” 

The one speaking was Jack, who had been with Arabella for three years, always faithfully by her side. 

Arabella paused midway while drying her hair. Lost a lot of money, huh? Attlee really was an idiot. How many times had this happened now? 

“Why are you even bothering with that dimwit? We should cut all ties and make our own money instead of constantly losing it because of him! How have they treated you all these years in the Murphy family? How much have you put up with? You’ve done more than enough to repay Grace. You’ve treated her well, given the Murphy family so much business behind the scenes, and solved so many problems for Attlee, helping them become the wealthiest in Tranquil City. You’ve more than repaid Grace! Can we please stop helping them?” 

Arabella casually wiped her hair with a dry towel and said, “Sure.” 

She had been considering this for a while. 

D 

From now on, she will have nothing to do with the Murphy family. Their paths would never cross again. 

Without us backing him up, I wonder how long his company can last.” 

With Attlee’s business acumen, he was not only going to lose the top spot in Tranquil City but could possibly go bankrupt. 

Arabella didn’t want to talk about that fool anymore. She casually wiped her hair, “I’m sending you a location. Come pick something up.” “Roger that! Whatever you command, even if it means hardship, I’ll do it!” 

Jack said this, then glanced at the sullen figure beside him and couldn’t help but let slip, “Jones misses you too. He wants to see you.” 

Arabella reluctantly agreed, “Fine.” 

Before long, they followed the location to Reflections Villa, skillfully avoiding the security guards. 

“Scale the wall and get in.” 

Arabella didn’t want to alarm the others in the house. 

“Got it!” 

Two figures climbed over the wall and quickly appeared before Arabella. 

“Boss! We missed you.” 

They didn’t expect their boss’s biological father to be Kenneth, who had been the wealthiest man in the country for twelve consecutive years. 

Nor did they expect to be in the home of the country’s richest man. It was so grand, so luxurious. 

They knew their boss had found her biological parents, but they didn’t know her family was this well–off. 

They were living the high life! 

“Go to the bank tomorrow.” Arabella handed them a check. 

Jack and Jones looked at each other, took the check, and looked closely. Was this check real? 

“A blank check from McMillan Corporation?? Boss, where did you pick this up?” Jack couldn’t believe his eyes. “You didn’t steal it, did you?” 

Jones kicked him and asked, “What are you talking about? She isn’t a thief! She wouldn’t even bother to pick up money off the ground! Boss, tell us, did you steal this check?” 

“What are you talking about?” Jack couldn’t help but punch Jones; “With our boss’s integrity and her smarts, does she need to steal from others?” 

The girl was very beautiful, with flawless skin and lively eyes. She waited until they finished their fuss before she leisurely said, “You’ll know how I got this check when you cash it. Write it for three hundred million dollars.” 

She couldn’t ask for too much. Three hundred million was enough. 

Upon hearing this, Jack quietly put down the check, saying, “Boss, I can’t. This is a check from McMillan Corporation. I’m afraid if Romeo finds out, he’ll have my head.” 

If it was a fake check, he was a dead mari. 

Arabella glanced at him. What a coward! 

“Boss, where did this check really come from?” Jones picked up the check and examined it from all angles under the light. This check was definitely real. Arabella said nonchalantly, “It fell from the sky.”
