The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885

Taylor paused mid-step, looking back at the petite and pretty girl.

She was so young; how could she possibly be of any help?

“No need."

Having said that, Taylor prepared to close the door again.

“Ma'am,’ Arabella stopped the door with her hand, speaking gently, “There are people out there looking for Carol. We need to find her before they do, or she'll be in danger."

Upon finishing her sentence, Arabella took out her phone and showed Taylor a picture of a bottle of vitamin C.

“This thing.” Taylor's eyes widened. She immediately recognized the little bottle. It had always been in Carol's room. How did that girl get a picture of it? Had they been to her house, and entered Carol's room?

“The substance Carol has been taking might not be vitamin C, but a lethal poison."

Taylor's anger subsided at the mention of poison, replaced by disbelief, “How could that be!"

That thing had been in her daughter's room for a long time. She had even seen Carol taking it. Before Carol found her biological parents, she had been taking that!

That was more than a year ago.

“Was the stuff she took powdery?” Arabella curiously asked, “Vitamin C usually comes in tablet form."

Taylor's face was a picture of shock. That was right, how could she have overlooked that important detail? Pills in bottles like that were usually tablets or capsules. But what Carol had been taking was powdery.

If not for the girl's reminder, she wouldn't have given it a second thought even at that moment.

She had once seen her daughter pour powdery stuff into water.

When she asked Carol what she was taking, Carol said that it was iron supplements and whitening agents.
