The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 104

Hearing him say that, Serena looked at Martha as if to confirm the credibility of his words.

Martha nodded, confirming that he was trustworthy.

“Of course.” Erik looked at her, his eyes shimmering with friendliness, “Whether at home or outside, let

me know anytime if you need any help, Miss Serena.”

“I do need your help with something. “Serena gestured for him to come closer and whispered

something.

Not long after, Erik came to report, “Miss Serena, Mr. McMillian will be having lunch at the Ferris Wheel Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Restaurant.”

Upon hearing this, Serena couldn’t help but feel excited, “Is the news reliable?”

“Absolutely”

Serena didn’t expect the first task she assigned him to be completed so quickly and well!

She took out a bank card, “If you perform well in the future, I will deposit some money into this card.”

“I don’t need Miss Serena’s money.” Erik quickly expressed his loyalty, “It’s an immense honor to serve

you, Miss Serena.”

“Take it” Serena insisted on rewarding him, “Once I marry Mr. McMillian, you and Martha can join me in

the McMillian family and enjoy the good life.”

“Thank you, Miss Serena!” Erik took the bank card, overjoyed.

When Kenneth and Louisa returned from their walk in the garden, they saw Serena looking so

stunning, like a blooming white rose. They couldn’t help but ask, “Serena, where are you going, all

dressed up like this?”

“A good friend is getting married. I’m attending her celebration.”

Serena was wearing a gorgeous gown, her hair was up, and the jewelry on her body shimmered.

She had grown up being pampered, exuding an elegance nurtured by money and skincare products.

Seeing Serena’s delicate makeup, Louisa couldn’t help but comment, “Serena, you look so beautiful.”

“Our darling, always the apple of our eye, how could she not be beautiful!” Kenneth chirped, “Let Aiden

drive you there.”

“No need. Erik is driving me today.” Serena smiled, “This way, my friend will feel honored!”

“Okay, Erik, drive Serena there.”

The Ferris Wheel Restaurant, as the name suggests, was a dining experience in a glass cabin.

The Ferris wheel had 28 cabins, each measuring 25 square meters. When the Ferris wheel reached its

highest point, it was 128 meters from the ground, offering a view of half the city’s beauty and the

sparkling sea…

Since it was built, it had been a popular spot for influencers and streamers.

As the seats were limited, reservations were booked up to six months in advance!

It was extremely popular.

Before Serena exited the car, she looked up at the giant Ferris wheel and asked with some

puzzlement, “Erik, why is there no one up there?”

At noon, how could no one be dining at this popular restaurant?

Where is Romeo?

Hasn’t he arrived yet?

“Strange, why isn’t the Ferris wheel moving? Is it broken?”

“Miss Serena, you may not know, but for ordinary people to dine here, they first need to have enough

patience to wait, and secondly, they need to have enough money to afford it… because a set meal

costs $999, and this is just the minimum charge…”

$999, to Serena, is just pocket change, but for ordinary people, it’s equivalent to one or two months‘

salary.

After a while, a luxury limousine came into Serena’s view, and her eyes immediately lit up. It was

Romeo!

She would never mistake that license plate!

“It’s Mr. McMillian!” Erik recognized it too, “It’s Mr. McMillian’s car! Miss Serena, do you see? Mr.

McMillian is here.”

The limousine drove past them and stopped at the distant entrance.

Carl got out, very professionally opening the rear door.

Before Serena could smile, she saw a girl leave the limousine. That pretty face, who else could it be

but Arabella?

Why was she in Romeo’s car?

Could it be that she came with Romeo?

Before Serena could figure it out, Romeo exited the car, took Arabella’s hand, and entered the Ferris

Wheel Restaurant through the VIP entrance together.

Erik was also taken aback. Why would Mr. McMillian come here with Ms. Bella?

He hadn’t heard any news about this before….

Looking at Serena’s expression in the rear–view mirror, it didn’t seem too good.

What should he do?

Serena finally realized why the Ferris wheel wasn’t moving and why no one was inside. It was because

Romeo had booked the entire place! He wanted to have a private meal with Arabella and didn’t want to

be disturbed by others!

“Miss Serena, I think… you could also go in and dine with them. After all, Ms. Bella is your relative.”

Erik plucked up the courage and voiced his thoughts, “If you go in, you can prevent their relationship

from progressing…”

Right, he has a point.

Serena thought she couldn’t let them be alone together in case they developed feelings…

She got out of the car, and her stunning outfit immediately caught Arabella’s attention in the glass

cabin, and a few question marks popped up in Arabella’s mind.

Was Serena going to a wedding with that outfit?

Her jewelry was so dazzling under the sunlight that it was hard to look directly at.

From head to toe, one word could describe her: extravagant.

Serena arrived at the entrance and was politely stopped by the greeter.

Erik quickly stepped forward, cleared his throat, “This lady is the heiress of the Collins family!”

With the Collins family’s status back home, stepping foot in this restaurant is practically like giving them

free publicity.

But the greeter says apologetically, “I’m sorry, Serena, but the place is booked solid today. Sorry about

that. We’re looking forward to your next visit.”

“To be honest, the girl inside, she’s my cousin. And that guy, I know him too.”

After Serena said this, she removed her diamond ring and pushed it into the greeter’s hand. She

smiled and said, “I need to talk to them. Don’t worry; I’ll take the heat if they have any complaints.”

The greeter didn’t dare to take her stuff. After all, with Mr. McMillian’s status, if he had let someone in

behind the scenes and messed up Mr. McMillian’s business…

The greeter quickly returned the ring and said, “I’m sorry, Serena, please don’t put us in a tough spot.”

She quickly closed the door, scared that Serena might barge in.

“What an insensitive person!” Erik is angry and about to use Kenneth’s status to intimidate the greeter.

But Serena’s eyes seemed a bit dim as she said, “Forget it. They won’t dare to offend Romeo. Let’s

go…”

“Just like that, we’re just going to leave?”

“What else can we do? Stick around to watch their lovey–dovey show?” Serena gave Erik a look, her

tone sounding a bit reproachful, “Get the facts straight next time!”
