The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 783

Chapter 783

"Mrs. McMillian, your taste is impeccable. You've picked out the crown jewel of our store."

"Mrs. McMillian must really care for you, splurging on such an elegant and expensive dress for you."

"I'm so envious."

"Yes, you are indeed fortunate."

Compliments flowed around Arabella. After a while, Jennifer had purchased quite a few items. George, unable to carry any more, called their chauffeur to ask where he was.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance."

After ending the call, George, weighed down by dozens of shopping bags, turned to Jennifer as he said, "Honey, I'll bring these bags to Gene first, then I'll come back to help you with your shopping."

"Go ahead," Jennifer picked a few more dresses, asking Arabella for her opinion. She seemed intent on buying her the entire store.

Feeling neglected, George was about to take the elevator when a sudden pain shot through his back, his old ailment flaring up again.

Arabella noticed and excused herself to Jennifer before rushing over to him.

"It's nothing serious, just my old back acting up. I'm getting old. It’s only normal for me to have these kinds of problems."

"I can carry it."

Looking at George's arms laden with over thirty shopping bags, Arabella felt guilty.

"No need, I can handle it; George could never let his daughter-in-law carry the load.

"But your back."

"It's alright, really."

He didn't expect to run into her that day!

"Some people spend their lives relying on men to buy them luxury goods, and not just any men, but married, older men. Yoli, don't you think she's pitiable?" Gerald added, placing a supportive hand on Yolanda’s shoulder, looking down at Arabella from his high horse.

Arabella and George were both speechless. Both had the same thought, “What's his problem??"

Yolanda didn't know who that middle-aged man was, but his arms were laden with dozens of luxury shopping bags, clearly showing he was wealthy.

She didn't expect Arabella, who she thought had settled down, to be mixing with an older man, and worse still, extorting him into buying her all those luxury goods.

Even with Gerald's decent financial status, he would never buy her so many items at once.

She didn't expect that older man to be so generous towards Arabella.

With those thoughts, Yolanda was eaten up with jealousy.
