The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1674

Before anyone could even catch their breath, the sordid deeds of Meredith were suddenly laid bare for all to see.

It turned out that he had fallen in with a bad crowd, participated in muggings, assaulted people to the point of grievous injury,

raped young women, and had even been involved in a hit-and-run that claimed the life of an elderly person.

All these incidents were things Maureen had kept from her husband, dealing with them in secret to keep her son out of trouble.

As shock rippled through the crowd, they also learned about Katherine's plagiarism of QY's work, with a demand for a public

apology by midnight or they'd face a lawsuit. Moreover, her bullying of another girl at school had led to that girl's tragic suicide

attempt, and this too was now coming to light.

"It's true what they say, a rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Kids are just like their parents."

"This has nothing to do with Rudolf. It's all on that wicked woman. She's spoiled her kids with her own malice."

"I can't believe Meredith has gotten away with such heinous acts over the years. Does someone like that even deserve to carry the

Brooks family name?"

"I always knew Meredith was rude, always looking down his nose at people. But | had no idea he was not just arrogant, but also so

heartless."

Meredith, standing to the side and hearing the condemnation from relatives and neighbors, was itching to rush up and shut off the

video. But Dennis stood atop the highest step, watching him coldly, as if certain Meredith wouldn't dare approach.

Meredith had previously learned the hard way not to mess with Dennis. Yet, in a fit of reckless courage, he bounded up the steps,

intent on pushing Dennis aside to turn off the video.

In the next second, Dennis sent him tumbling down the steps with a swift kick. The pampered rich kid had never known such

hardship and rolled his eyes back, passing out on the spot. It seemed Rudolf couldn't withstand the heavy blow of the revelations

and collapsed backward.

Carol, seeing her father falter, leaped off the stage and reached out to steady him.

"Carol, lethelp," offered Alger, extending a hand. He knew that Carol, being a young woman, might not have the strength to

support her father.

"Alger, Dennis and | have something to handle. Could you please take care of my dad?"

Alger nodded, signaling her to leave it to him.

Maureen was already a mess, bloodied and battered, and Katherine had not escaped the fray unscathed, her face bruised and

swollen.

Carol dragged them to her mom's grave, forcing them to their knees with a kick. Dennis stood with a foot pressed on Meredith's

stomach, and with a groan of pain, Meredith woke from his unconscious state.

"Hiring a hitman?" Carol struck Maureen, not holding back in the slightest, "I'm getting justice for my mom today. She died without

knowing that a complete stranger could do something so cruel to her."

"Enough, look what you've done to my mom. Carol, have you lost your mind? If you keep it up, she's going to die!"

"My mom's already dead. What right does your mom have to live?" Carol asked, her eyes blazing with fury.

Caught off guard by Carol's ferocious onslaught, Katherine was stunned. Carol was supposed to be weak and sickly, yet she fought

with the ferocity of a boxing coach.
