The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 912

Chapter 912

So, they had been living peacefully in the area for some time, but recently, new factions had risen, along with old gangs, all wanting to meet with their leader.

Snapping back to reality, everyone, in unison greeted, “Cheers to Clark!”

Clark merely nodded, greeting them back, yet inside, he was utterly stunned.

How much hardship had the girl gone through to be sitting in that chair as the boss everyone referred to?

No wonder she always came off as aloof, forever wearing that indifferent expression, seemingly uninterested in anything.

Having grown up in the Murphy household with foster parents who didn't care for her and even used her as a scapegoat, she never knew the warmth of a family.

Other than Grannie Grace, it seemed no one truly cared for her or nurtured her. She had to fight for everything herself, which was why she became so independent and self-reliant.

Her cold demeanor, her coolness, her exceptionalness, all were bought with her blood and tears.

Like Serena, who had never been knocked down by life, always pampered by the family, had everything she wanted, did everything she wanted, unaware of how many sweet deals she enjoyed, how much fortune she had.

But his own younger sister, due to a mix-up, had to scratch and claw her way here, truly experiencing endless darkness and hardship to achieve what she had now.

Thinking of this, he felt admiration, and his eyes unknowingly welled up with warmth.

He silently vowed to himself that he would doubly make up for everything his sister hadn't experienced, hadn't received. He would give her double.

“Boss, some new gangs have been asking for you lately.” one of his underlings reported, trailing behind Arabella, “And people from Hell Base, they want you to visit their turf alone within three days to discuss something. If not, they threatened to make trouble for us.”

Arabella responded coldly, "What gives them the nerve to ask for this?"

Just the mention of Hell Base was enough to ignite her rage.
