The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2017

The crowd was buzzing with disbelief and shock.

[Serena, of all people, still has suitors? Is her allure really that irresistible?]

[Who the heck is Martin? Never heard of this guy before.]

[Does anyone have the scoop? I'm drawing a blank here.]

[Good heavens, you don't know about the Coopers? The Cooper family owns department stores all

over the world, with over six thousand locations and a workforce of over two hundred thousand. Martin

leveraged his family's resources to start his own logistics company. Just last year, he successfully

raised funds, acquired a fleet of fifty cargo planes, and secured exclusive air routes. His business

reaches every corner of the country, setting the pace in the industry, and it's seriously outperforming Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

get revenge on behalf of his girlfriend by tampering with the award-winning car. That's just terrifying!]

Meanwhile, Florence was fuming as she scrolled through the online comment, especially the

cringeworthy video of Serena hugging a tree during her confession of love.

She was about to call her son when, the next second, he called her.

"Mom, I need to talk to you." Martin didn't wait for her to speak, "I want to get engaged to Serena as

soon as possible. I want to give her a home, and I hope you and Dad can bless this."

"Mom, the past is the past. Serena said she'll change. Let's give her a chance." Martin's plea was cut
