The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780

“I'm on my period, you can check if you don’t believe me.”

She was sure that Jennifer, a woman of high society, wouldn't ask her to strip in public just to prove it.

But Jennifer found her claim amusing. Did those girls think they could pull one over on her?

“Want to leave?” Jennifer asked with a playful tone.

The girls hastily nodded.

“So, how did the cake end up on the floor?” Jennifer's clear, bright eyes scanned them one by one.

None of the girls dared to admit that Cherry had purposefully smeared the cake, instead they lied, claiming that they hadn't noticed.

“Oh, then stay put until you come clean,’ Jennifer said.

“Jennifer.” Cherry started.

Jennifer cut her off coldly, “Stop. I don’t want to hear you speak.”

Cherry immediately fell silent.

After a while, Cynthia arrived. She had left her house in such a hurry, that she hadn't even properly dressed herself.

Upon exiting her car, she hurried into the restaurant. She was slightly panting but upon seeing Jennifer, she put on a friendly smile.

“Jennifer, really sorry to keep you waiting,’ Cynthia approached Jennifer, and glanced at Arabella, “This must be your daughter-in-law. She's so beautiful and she seems very well-behaved and smart.’

Turning back to her own daughter among the crowd, she called out, “Where's my good-for-nothing daughter? Cherry! Come here and apologize right now!"

“You weren't afraid of being seen when you made a fool of yourself just now. What are you afraid of now? Apologize properly!”

Cherry was infuriated but knew her mother's temperament and

how important the McMillian family was to them. Cynthia was a fair person. If Jennifer so much as gave a hint, Cynthia would surely make Cherry's life miserable.

With that in mind, she swallowed her pride and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, Jennifer. I’m sorry, Arabella.”

“And what are you apologizing for?” Jennifer lifted her gaze, looking at her coldly, “Are you apologizing for calling my daughter-in-law names, or for slandering her, or maybe, for trying to hit her?”

Cynthia nearly fainted when she heard that. Her daughter had actually called Jennifer's daughter-in-law names!

“Mrs. McMillian is asking you something, answer her! You dare to curse the girl, you're so stupid! Don't you realize that it's thanks to the McMillian family that the Evert family is what it is today!"
