The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688 

The foreign guy leading the pack was tall and intimidating. His golden hair was tied up in a braid at the back of his head, and he wore a mask. “I’m just here for the girl in the car,” he said, “nd offense meant earlier, my bad.” 

“What do you want with the girl?” Carl couldn’t help but ask, looking at the twenty or so guys. “Who sent you?” 

“Sorry, we can’t say.” A few guys pulled out weapons, pointing them at Carl. 

Romeo stood there, a small smile on his face. “So all these guys are here to snatch my fiancee? Do you think so little of me? Just this many guys to snatch my fiancee?” A hint of murderous intent flashed in the foreign guy’s eyes. 

“Give you guys some time to call for backup.” Romeo casually glanced at his watch. “Five minutes enough?” 

The foreign guy was completely provoked. “Don’t think just because you’re Romeo, I won’t dare to touch you!” 

Just now, he was being respectful to Romeo, letting him and his assistant leave, but he just had to push it. He’s practically begging for it! 

“This city is his turf, no need to cross him, we just want the girl.” someone whispered into the foreign guy’s ear. 

The guy cursed under his breath, glaring at Romeo. “Hand over the girl, and I might just spare you.” 

“Oh? Isn’t the girl with you?” Romeo gestured behind him. 

Before the foreign guy could even turn around, a knife was already at his throat. Arabella smiled slightly, “I heard you were looking for me?” 

The foreign guy just couldn’t believe it. A girl managed to get so close without him noticing. And his goons didn’t even notice her approaching! 

Just who was she? 

No wonder the bounty was so high. 

Turned out, she wasn’t easy to catch. 

“You let him go!” 

“Don’t touch our boss.” 

“Put down your knife.” 

Arabella, paying no mind to their words, simply slashed the foreign guy’s throat. 

“Who sent you?” Arabella raised an eyebrow, looking seriously stunning. 

The foreign guy didn’t think she’d actually do it. He tried to cover his throat, but Arabella’s knife was already inches closer. 

He was scared now. “I, I don’t know who. I took the job from the Bounty Forum 

Bounty Forum, huh. 

What a coincidence. She also had an account there. But this must’ve been a new job. If it were posted a few days ago, her guys would’ve noticed. 

Just then, a dozen black cars surrounded the place. Romeo’s bodyguards had arrived. 

The foreign guy knew he’d been had and was about to pop a cyanide pill, but Arabella beat him to it, knocking him out cold. 

“Bella, leave the rest to them.” Romeo gestured her over.
