Chapter 1283 In a while, a group of men stealthily intruded into her room. Bathed in the dim moonlight, they saw the girl on the bed, sound asleep. Her long eyelashes cast shadows on her cheeks, making her look as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

She was a real beauty. What a pity she won't live to see the dawn.

They each reached into their pockets and unsheathed their knives. A murderous glint flashed in their eyes as they all lunged at her.

In the blink of an eye, Arabella threw open her eyelids, swiftly wrapped their knives in her blanket, and tossed them aside.

The lights flicked on at Arabella's touch, illuminating the entire room.

Arthur, Bowen, and the four maidservants never imagined they'd fall into a trap. Ms. Bella remained unscathed and was even leisurely watching them.

How could this be? They had used tenfold the dose of the sleeping drug.

At this time, Arabella should be in a deep slumber, motionless.

"Did you find out when you were eating the fish?" Arthur asked incredulously.

Arabella curled her lips. The drug was child's play to her. To even think of using it against her was an insult.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Elliot was the one who recruited you." That was why Arabella did not expose them at the dinner table. She chase to play along.

If she had revealed the tampered fish then, the only suspects would have been the two cooks.

But she played their gand now, even the four maidens revealed themselves.

"Mr. Elliot exposed his identity. You knew Uncle Bard would conduct a thorough investigation, so you decided to eliminate me, the obstacle, before he could." She had anticipated this possibility even before she returned home.

"But how did you know Mr. Elliot had accomplices?” Arthur asked nervously.

“Uncle Bard isn't naive. If one wanted to plant someone close to him, he wouldn't just place one person. There must be someone working with Mr. Elliot, either within the house or outside. Now we know." "Missy, being too smart isn't always a good thing." “Neither is being overconfident" Arabella quickly attacked. Arthur could barely fend off a few blows before getting hit in the chest.

He stared at Arabella in disbelief. How could a young girl pack such a punch? She didn't even use a weapon, yet her punch felt like a stab to his heart.

Seeing this, Bowen once again drew a small knife from his pocket. But before he could strike Arabella, she disarmed him and wounded his shoulder.

The four maidservants were clearly no match for Arabella either.

“Who are you?" Bowen held his bleeding shoulder and glared at the young girl.

Her skills obviously cfrom special training.

This made him recall a famous figure from years ago. However, that person was older and had long retired.

Her skills were half similar, half different.

Who was she? She couldn't possibly be just a simple rich girl.

Just then, Gordon arrived with two teams of bodyguards, splitting up to surround the villa. The bedroom door was kicked open, revealing a team of bodyguards. The other team entered from the balcony.

All possible escape routes were cut off.

“Gordon?” Arthur and the others didn't expect Gordon to arrive with reinforcements. Did Arabella tip him off? "Ms. Bella said someone poisoned her food. She askedto bring men up as soon as her room lights up. | didn't expect it to be you traitors," Gordon commanded, “Take them away." Bowen scoffed. They had cprepared to kill! He nodded at his accomplices. They each threw a handful of white powder into the air.

The white powder cascaded down, blanketing the room like snowfall.
