The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2094

The mention of Serena sent Stinger into a frenzy, his hands gripping the railing as if he could bend the

bars with his bare rage. "Let me out! I'm gonna make her pay for what she did to my folks. An eye for

an eye; I'm gonna get vengeance for my parents."

Just thinking about the indignities his parents suffered before their deaths filled him with an

uncontrollable urge to flay Serena alive, to exact every ounce of pain she owed.

Arabella spoke with an eerie calm, "Killing her won't bring your parents back to life. If they were still

around, they'd want you to keep living, and to live well."

Stinger's eyes reddened further, and despite his best efforts, tears breached his defenses and

cascaded down his cheeks.

After he had his moment to grieve, Arabella prodded, "Was the operation Erik ran doing the dirty work

for Lucas and Beverly?"

Stinger was taken aback and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

"There's no deep-seated vendetta between Serena and the Collins couple. No motive to hit their

company unless Erik's death was linked to them. Serena is notorious for holding a grudge; if she knew

they were behind her biological father's death, she'd seek revenge."

"And how did you guess I was with the Lott family, working for them?"

"I did my homework on you. It started when I found out Yolanda had neither the cash nor the

connections to hire someone to kill me. Digging deeper, I stumbled upon your ties to Erik."

"So, you figured it out."

"Over the years, following Erik's orders, did you indirectly handle a lot of dirty work for Lucas and

Beverly?"

"Not a lot," Stinger replied, his gaze growing distant. "I saw Erik as a father. Whatever he asked of me, I

did without question, never thought to keep evidence for my own protection."

After every job, Stinger would destroy any evidence, fearing it might come back to haunt him.

Looking into his eyes, Arabella asked, "What exactly did you do for them?"

Stinger hesitated, then, gazing at the girl before him, chose silence over confession.

"Don't worry. If you've hurt my family, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. After all, every debt has its

debtor, and if Lucas and Beverly are truly to blame, they'll answer to me."

Stinger was both surprised and skeptical, but ultimately, he laid all his cards on the table. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Erik and Martha were Lucas and Beverly' spies in your household, reporting every move back to them.

And it wasn't just them – there were others in the company on their payroll. The 'accidents' that befell

your parents and the instability within the company were all their doing." Stinger spilled everything he

knew.

Arabella couldn't believe her so-called aunt and uncle had been up to such filth behind the scenes.

In the hospital.

A young nurse hurried to find Martin Cooper.

"Mr. Cooper, Ms. Cooper has had a sudden onset of septicemia early this morning. It's not looking

good."
