The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 679

Arabella was speechless.
"Also, this bread and milk are for you. I got them myself; don't worry, they're not poisoned."
Serena said this and then bowed her head, seeming a bit embarrassed. Arabella's suspicion towards her seemed understandable.
"I already have this book; you can take it back."
Arabella knew that the book was a rare find. On one hand, it was because the original author was a top-tier foreign genius doctor, so the content in the book was in a foreign language and full of professional terms, making it quite hard to understand.
On the other hand, thanks to Arabella's translation, it became the book with the highest translation accuracy in the country. She had only allowed the publisher to publish ten copies, each with her autograph.
Arabella was at her wits' end with Serena's pestering. Just then, Kelly and Joyce came out of the library and saw them.
"What are you up to again?" Kelly immediately pulled Arabella behind her, and then she said to Serena, "If you've got nothing to do, why don't you hit the books in the library? Learn how to be a decent person."
She glanced at the bag in Serena's hand and scoffed, "Who would dare to eat what you bought?"
Who knew what kind of nasty tricks she might be up to?
"I really didn't poison." Serena lowered her head, seeming a bit hurt. "These are just baked today. If anything's wrong, I'll stake my life on it."
"Is your life worth as much as Bella's?" Kelly said, then she patted Joyce, "You take Arabella and go."
"Okay." Joyce glanced at Kelly, then took Arabella's arm and left.
"Sister." Serena wanted to say something, but seeing Arabella's back, she swallowed her words.
"What sister? Who acknowledges you as a sister?" Kelly looked at Serena coldly and said, "Whatever you're thinking, I suggest you better drop it. Arabella is my best friend in life, and I won't let you hurt her."
Serena felt a bit wronged and unwilling. "I really want to make up with Arabella and be friends with her."
"You don't need to play the sisterly love card, Arabella doesn't need a friend like you." Kelly interrupted Serena, "Just leave Arabella alone and do what you're supposed to do, there's still a place for you in the Collins family. But if you step out of line, I'll make sure you pay the price, got it?"
Serena didn't understand why she always received so much malice when she sincerely wanted to correct her mistakes.
"Don't worry, I'll do what I'm supposed to do, but I still want to make up with Arabella, I won't change this decision." Serena said, holding out the bag, "Could you please give these to Arabella?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? What Arabella needs isn't bread or milk."
What she wanted wasn't material things.
Kelly said seriously, her tone firm and strong, "What she wants is just a happy family. If you understand this, you'll get a lot more."
Serena looked at Kelly's back and fell into deep thought.
Arabella didn't need another friend to shop, eat and do beauty treatments with.
Her life goal was medicine, which was completely different from what Serena was pursuing.
So, no matter how many times Serena tried, it was all for naught.
