The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807

Alma suddenly looked hurt, "Is my fruit salad not appealing?"

All eyes turned to Arabella, seemingly clueless as to why she would reject Alma’s offering.

Arabella said indifferently, "My insulin, neuropeptide, and cholecystokinin levels are high right now, and the fiber in the fruit will absorb electrolytes, trace elements, and organic acids. The bananas in the dish contain tannins, which will bind with trace elements like iron and calcium, forming even harder substances, overloading my pancreas."

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Nobody understood what she was talking about.

In simpler terms, she had eaten something before arriving and consuming fruit now would affect her digestion and absorption.

That's it.

But nobody understood what she meant. Seeing her speaking confidently, everyone just nodded along.

Even Cornelia expressed concern, "Well, maybe you shouldn't eat then. Your health is important."

From Arabella's calm and indifferent eyes, Alma couldn't help but feel that Arabella was playing her, but she couldn't prove it.

All she could do was serve the fruit salad to others.

After a while, Alma checked the time, "Why hasn't Serena returned yet? I'll go check on her."

"Alma always worrying about Serena.’ Cornelia chuckled.

"Isn't that the truth? They might squabble when they're together, but when they're apart, they can't stop thinking about each other. That's sisterhood." Beverly laughed.

"You should know that Grandma hates people who lack manners.

Even if you're right, causing a ruckus here will only embarrass the Collins family." Alma crossed her arms and said leisurely, "Family troubles should not be publicly aired, got it?"

"You'll pay for this!" Serena was about to storm off.

But Alma stuck out her foot, causing Serena to stumble.

This time, Serena couldn't hold back anymore. She raised her hand in anger, but Alma quickly backed off and raised her voice, "Serena, are you going to hit me just because I stood up for the nurse?"

"You're the one I'm going to hit!" Serena aimed a kick at Alma.

Alma backed away in fear, "Don't do this, people will see. This is a public place. Even if you don't care about the Collins family's reputation, don't you value our sisterhood?"
