The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 257

Arabella didn’t say another word. She just whipped out her phone, dialed Serena’s number, and put it

on speaker.

She had gotten this number when she first returned to the Collins family. Serena had insisted that she

keep it in front of their parents, saying that they could make plans to go to the spa or grab coffee

together.

Arabella didn’t want to play the part of the close sister with her, but to avoid making her parents

uncomfortable, she saved the number, though she never called.

In no time at all, the call went through.

“Sis?”

A sweet voice came from the other end of the line. Serena’s address of “sis” threw Brooklyn for a loop.

What’s going on here?

Why was Serena calling this girl ‘sis‘?

Were they actually related?

“Do you know who I am?” Arabella’s voice sounded a little annoyed.

“Aren’t you Arabella?” Serena was a bit puzzled. She was at home, in front of her parents, playing the

part of the good girl, “Sis, weren’t you supposed to be in a competition today? Anything you need my

help with?”

Upon hearing that, Kenneth and Louisa both urged Serena to put Arabella on speaker, to continue

asking her if she had forgotten any necessary registration documents, her ID, or if there was any urgent

matter. They wanted to help as much as they could.

Serena quickly put the call on speaker, hoping to look good in front of her parents.

“I’m asking you, who is Romeo engaged to?”

This sudden question took Serena by surprise. She didn’t understand why Arabella would suddenly call

her to ask this question.

What’s going on?

Kenneth and Louisa were also confused. Why would Arabella bring this up right before her

competition?

“Hm?”

Arabella’s simple grunt brought Serena back to reality.

Even though she didn’t know what Arabella’s real intention was, in front of her parents, Serena still put

on a show of being gentle and charming..

“Of course, it’s you.”

Arabella hung up the call, then looked at Brooklyn, as if to say, “you don’t even know you’re being

used!”

Brooklyn was completely stunned by Serena’s words.

Why would she call this girl “sis“?

Why would she say that Romeo was this girl’s fiancé?

What the heck was going on?

It was definitely Serena’s voice.

Back at Reflections Villa.

Serena was puzzled. She didn’t understand why Arabella would suddenly hang up. When she tried to

call back, no one answered.

“Serena, what’s going on? Arabella didn’t sound too happy.”

“About you and Romeo.”

“Dad, Mom, don’t get it wrong, there’s nothing going on between us.” Serena was also clueless and

quickly explained, “I don’t know why Sis suddenly got upset and asked me that. Don’t worry, I’ll text her

later.”

“The competition is about to start, let’s not disturb her and let her focus.” Even though Louisa said this,

she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She felt it necessary to wait for Bella to come

back and ask her about it.

“Okay.” Serena temporarily suppressed her unease, wondering what the hell Arabella was up to!

If she had known Arabella was going to ask that, she wouldn’t have put the call on speaker!

Just then, the competition bell rang.

“Numbers one to twenty, get ready, you’re up next!”
