The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1467

After they supported Serena away, one on each side, Eunice turned her gaze back to Arabella, "She's definitely a suspect, but

there's no proof she had a hand in this."

Arabella preempted her aunt, knowing what she was about to ask, "Keep digging, we'll probably find something. There's no need to

rush this."

Eunice wanted to say more, but ultimately nodded in agreement, "You've had a long day too, go get srest."

"Don't worry, Aunt Eunice. The truth will cto light sooner or later."

Over the years, Arabella had investigated many cases and had learned the value of patience; sometimes taking it slow could lead

to more clues.

Nodding thoughtfully, Eunice was left alone in the study after Arabella left. Until Bard, fresh from his shower, cknocking, "Why

aren't you in bed yet?"

Eunice recounted the events and shared her doubts, "Let's say Serena hired someone to take out Bella but that guy was locked in

the basement bybefore he could do anything; suppose Serena had no idea where he was hiding after his initial failure until she

stumbled upon him by accident. Fearing he'd rat her out, she then kill him. But why wouldn't he struggle if he wanted to live? And

if he didn't want to live, why did he ask to see Bella again? Two days ago, when Bella talked to him, | thought he wanted to live."

Too many questions swirled in Eunice's mind, leaving her puzzled.

"Could it be that someone else killed him? Serena did say the man suddenly went silent. Maybe she thought he was dead and got

scared off. After she ran, someone else could've sneaked in and finished the job," Bard speculated.

"If he was murdered, how could there be no struggle?"

"Didn't he tell Serena he wanted to end it himself, saying it's better than suffering at our hands? Maybe the killer was one of his

own?"

"But Bella said there were no additional traces at the scene, no extra footprints."

"Maybe we overlooked sclue?" Bard patted her shoulder reassuringly, "Don't overthink it. I'll have the scene checked again.

You should get srest."

Knowing that worrying wouldn't help, Eunice nodded, "Wakeup as soon as there's any news, even if I'm asleep."

"Don't worry. I'll tell you immediately." Bard wrapped an arm around her shoulder to lead her back to bed, tenderly covering her

with the quilt. He uttered, feeling disquieted, "Ever since you cback to this family, you've barely had a moment's peace.

There's been too much for you to worry about. Just look at the time, and you're still not asleep."

"I just feel pity that the lead we finally had has hit a dead end. If they're still out there trying to kill Bella, who knows how many

dangers she'll face." Eunice's concern was genuine.

But she couldn't share these worries with the elders at home, not wanting them to lose sleep fretting alongside her.

"Indeed, we should step it up and root out those people once and for all."

Eunice had promised Arabella that even if it meant turning Dawnstar upside down, she would weed out the remnants of their

enemies, leaving none behind.

In the last few days, she had indeed ordered her subordinates to do just that, but the job wasn't finished when this incident

occurred.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Get ssleep." Bard cooed gently until she began to feel drowsy. Only then did he turn off the

main light, close the door, and leave.
