The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1471

Perhaps it was due to the smear campaign that had inadvertently catapulted the Ar-Bl-Clear Group into the limelight, but now the

brand was comfortably sitting at the top of the charts.

"Really?" Eunice was genuinely thrilled for Arabella. That girl had put in so much effort; she deserved every bit of success!

"KT's online flagship store got hammered with negative reviews, and all their products were pulled from the shelves. Before long,

the store was shuttered, and the KT folks involved are now in police custody."

As Bard shared the news, he suddenly shot a look at Eunice.

Realization dawned on her, and she voiced the thought they both were thinking, "The one who tried to tarnish the Ar-Bl-Clear

Group wasn't KT. Whoever set them up as the fall guy must be no small fry. Could be the smastermind who hired the hitman!"

Even though the lead in the basement had gone cold, they could still follow the KT thread!

"I was thinking the same," Bard said, exchanging a knowing smile with his wife. They always seemed to read each other's minds.

Eunice grinned back, determined as ever.

Before long, she vowed to unearth the culprit and get revenge for her darling niece!

Meanwhile, Arabella's phone buzzed with an incoming call. It was Grandpa Eugene.

"Humph, you heartless girl!" The old man feigned anger through the phone, "I bet if | hadn't called, you'd have completely

forgotten what day tomorrow is!"

It suddenly hit Arabella: tomorrow was his birthday.

"I've already received a heap of birthday wishes, and here you are, silent as a mouse."

Ever since their last meeting at school, she had been off the radar, not even popping up in their old-timers" chat group. It was as if

she had vanished off the face of the earth.

"Have you forgotten us all?"

This year marked his 60th, and he planned to celebrate big, but she hadn't been in touch.

He had already reminded her; if she didn't show up to his birthday bash, he'd be livid, and a couple of sweet words wouldn't cut it.

The consequences w8ould be dire.

Yet, she seemed to take it lightly!

The most irritating part was that the other old geezers, who could've reminded her these past few days, chose not to, and just to

watch him fret.

Now, with it being past four in the afternoon back home, he couldn't contain his impatience and had to call her himself.

Arabella couldn't help but chuckle, "Grandpa, | didn't forget. I've just been swamped lately and neglected you. I'll be there on time

tomorrow, | promise."

"Humph!" Mr. Eugene sulked like a child, "Bad connection, can’t hear you."

"Oh, then never mind, | didn't say anything important."

"Hey, you trying to back out now? Don’t think I'm old and deaf. | heard you clear as day. You said you'll be here on ttomorrow.”

Mr. Albright caught himself mid-sentence, realizing he'd been played by his granddaughter.

Arabella let out a laugh.

Hearing her delightful laughter, Mr. Albright tried to stay stern, but the corners of his mouth betrayed him with a smile.

"You little rascal, ever heard of respecting your elders? Can't let your grandpa win just once, can you?" Mr. Albright's voice warmed

with affection, "Alright, it's settled then. You better show up tomorrow! Otherwise, I'm calling a press conference to announce

you're taking over my legacy!"
