The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2007

Uriah spoke with a serene air, "Thank goodness | taught her sself-defense when she was a little girl. | saw that video online; it

was dangerous. I'm so relieved she could protect her friend and ensure her own safety. As her grandfather, I'm comforted and

proud of her. I'd like to take this chance to encourage everyone to teach their kids sself-defense. It can really make a

difference when it counts."

When the crowd learned that Arabella's self-defense skills were taught by Uriah, they were taken aback. Before his retirement, he

was a political big shot, but a deeper dig revealed that in his youth, he was a legend in the Special Forces.

His team used to say he was an all-terrain, multi-skilled captain, nicknamed "Tiger on Land, Dragon in the Sea, and Falcon in the

Sky". Not only was he adept at parachuting, sniping, and hand-to-hand combat, but he could also draw, load, aim, and shoot in just

0.5 seconds, earning him the title "King of Guns".

Such a versatile talent, it's no wonder Arabella, at such a young age, had such skills.

It figured that Arabella could take down those thugs that night; it was only natural.

Arabella restored the surveillance and had the relevant footage uploaded online. It clearly showed several masked figures

tampering with the cars in the dead of night.

The intewas in an uproar!

The company involved with these masked saboteurs was also exposed. It was StoryStyle Co., led by Esther, who had held a grudge

against the Collins family for ages.

Because the Collins family had ceased their partnership with her in the new year, she was irate and orchestrated this plot to take

them down.

Before long, the police arrived and took Esther, the head of the charming fashion company, into custody.

It seemed like the case was coming to a close, and the online sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of Arabella, condemning

Esther for her frightening actions.

But Arabella knew it wasn't that simple.

"Esther wouldn't resort to such despicable tactics, jeopardizing so many lives, just because the Collins family stopped working with

her. She must be taking the fall for someone else. | did sdigging, and the person she was in contact with belonged to a film

company."

"That film company is actually a front for money laundering. | looked into who had been in touch with this company. Guess who |

found?"

As Arabella said this, her gaze swept across the living room to the others, who eagerly asked, "Who?"
