The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1343

Chapter 1343

They found themselves strolling back into the garden, and there was Arabella, seemingly lost in the beauty of the night.

Their gaze was tinged with surprise, as more than one had speculated that she had sneaked upstairs with Eunice.

Yet here she was, taking in the scenery, while Eunice had been cornered by a gaggle of nosy socialites.

The head of the security team quietly reported to his earpiece, “Everyone's on the ground floor; no one has left."

Mr. Clarence, through gritted teeth, asked, "Have you checked the cameras?"

“We've sent someone to look into it."

“Tonight must go off without a hitch. | want a thorough check, not a single detail missed!"

"Understood."

From afar, Arabella noticed her aunt had triumphed once again, leaving the women red-faced and huffing away in defeat.

“Aunt Eunice, Arabella greeted with a smile.

Eunice returned the smile warmly, "You're here."

"I've sent what | overheard to your phone, but about Grandpa and Uncle Bard."

“No worries, | have everything in hand.” Eunice's smile was radiant, "I've sent you what I've found as well."

Arabella checked her phone and saw that her aunt had observed through the kitchen's bay window a suspicious exchange between

a servant and the chef. Concerned they might tamper with the food.

With such an array of dishes, identifying the compromised from the safe was a daunting task.

Just then, a maid passed by with a tray, and Arabella asked for two glasses of mint lemonade.

Seizing a moment when no one was looking, she dropped something into the drinks.

Eunice took the glass offered by Arabella, recalling that Bard had mentioned his niece's medical prowess. The pills she dropped

must be an antidote?

"Drink this to stay sharp,” Arabella clinked glasses with her aunt, speaking casually, "Whatever they've slipped in, it won't affect

us."

Eunice's smile broadened. Bringing this niece along had been a stroke of genius.

As the two sipped their mint lemonade, a figure watched and signaled to an accomplice.

"I'll find a spot to listen to what you've sent me." Eunice knew she was being watched and couldn't openly listen to the recording

there.

“Alright.”

Arabella hatched a plan to extract more clues from Mr. Clarence.

So far, the evidence could only implicate Mr. Clarence and the manservant in a sinister plot against her aunt. As for the true

mastermind and the myriad details behind it all, they were still submerged beneath the surface.

Mr. Clarence was already on his guard, having sent people to check the surveillance. Arabella knew her twas running short.

Although she had erased parts of the surveillance footage, Mr. Clarence's suspicious nature would lead him to suspect foul play,

and inevitably, to her.

If he started having her followed, she'd be hampered in her movements.

She set her glass down, intending to head for the main hall.

But she was blocked by a group of girls, led by Rose.

Arabella met her gaze, and Rose sneered, "We meet again. Arlen wanted a word, and everyone went inside.

Arabella, you dared to hityesterday, and today you've embarrassedin front of all those people. | won't let you get away

with it!"
