The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2039

At the gala.

Harriet watched, seething, as Arabella decently stood by Romeo's side, guests flocking to them, who

were eager to rub elbows with them.

They looked like an ideal couple, a perfect pair, their very presence enough to make anyone green with

envy.

Finally, Arabella was alone, and Harriet's eyes gleamed with a vengeful spark, "Dad, I saw the person

who hit me!"

"Lead the way." Addison said, setting his drink aside and rising with anger in his voice, "I want to see

who had the nerve to lay a hand on you."

As Harriet led the way, they neared Arabella. Suddenly, Addison's voice rose with excitement, "At last, I

find you here!"

Harriet looked on, stunned as her normally haughty father now treated Arabella with the utmost

politeness and respect, bending at the waist to shake her hand. Arabella returned the gesture with a

familiar smile, as though greeting an old friend.

"Bart Monroe, it's been ages," Arabella greeted Addison.

"But, Dad." Harriet couldn't help but interject.

"Show some respect! This is Arabella, the Earwood family's friend. She saved your grandfather's life,

and mine too. You're a few months younger than Arabella, so you should take her as your sister."

Sister? Considered Bella as her sister?

Addison chuckled and introduced Harriet to Arabella, "This is my daughter Harriet, recently returned

from abroad."

Arabella's lips curled in amusement, "We met yesterday."

So this was Addison's daughter? She had heard he mentioned his daughter, but had no idea it was

Harriet.

“Oh? Do you know each other???” Addison was a bit surprised.

"A check?" Addison turned perplexed to his daughter, "Why did you give Arabella a check?"
