The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 963

Chapter 963

Across town.

Near the estate of Reflections Villa.

Someone had Edith against a tree trunk, a knife at her throat, "Who were you calling just now? Were you shouting for Bella?"

“No, no, no." Edith denied vehemently.

She had just returned from the designer's atelier, fetching her mistress a pair of custom boots. Just as she was at the doorstep, she noticed a suspicious figure lurking around.

She instinctively dialed Bella's number, but before she could finish her sentence, the man had discovered her. He pinned her against a tree, a glinting knife held at her throat.

“I heard you call out for Mrs. Bella?" The man raised an eyebrow, his black mask hiding most of his face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes that looked youthful.

“You, you've got it wrong. We only have a Serena, there's no Mrs. Bella. Why are you abducting me? I'm, I'm not worth much. I'm just a housemaid, and you won't get much by threatening me.

‘It don't want money.’ The man's tone was chilling.

Edith was terrified, ‘Wh-what do you want with me then. I can only do household chores, nothing else."

‘Where is Clark?" The man brought the knife closer, his tone threatening.

*Clark??" Edith thought this man was an enemy of Clark. She quickly shook her head, “I don't know. We servants are not privy to the whereabouts of the masters."

“Don't know?" The man brought the knife even closer.

Edith could feel the cold touch of the blade against her neck. She was scared out of her wits, "I really don't know. Even if you kill me, I wouldn't know where he's gone."
