The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 14

Arabella had thought that she had enough stock to last her for at least half a year. During this time, she wouldn’t have to worry about designing new pieces, allowing her to focus on her pharmaceutical research and other side hustles. However, to her surprise, her parents went ahead and bought out all her stock, some of which were even her early designs that seemed a bit outdated now.

“Miss Arabella, your name is somewhat similar to our brand’s founder. I’m wondering if you are familiar with our boss?” Jaime asked.

“Nope.” Arabella’s answer was clear-cut. Upon hearing this, Jaime understood that the rest of the people in the room were still unaware of the boss’ true identity.

“You’re one lucky gal, having parents who adore you so much. Look at these clothes, they’re classic pieces from our brand’s founder, Queen Abby. They’re perfect for someone of your stature!” Jaime said.

“Arabella, check out this casual outfit. I bet it would look great on you.” Kenneth pointed out a piece displayed on the rack.

‘Queen Abby’s designs really do stand out. Look at this skirt.” Louisa held up the skirt against Arabella, “I can already imagine how beautiful you’d look in it.”

“Arabella, what do you think about these?” Kenneth showed Arabella a pair of shoes like it was his prized possession.

“Arabella, how about this one-shoulder bag?” Louisa picked up a bag, “It looks like it was custom-made for you, I’m sure it would look great on you.”

Arabella’s eyes were bright as stars, her demeanor elegant, as she listened to their comments. She was naturally beautiful. Her eyes were sparkling clear, a mixture of cold and sweet temperament, creating an indescribable charm.

Serena, on the other hand, was turning pale, her shock was beyond words. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing! What on earth was going on? Why were her parents treating this girl like their own daughter, even gifting her all these limited edition QY clothes?

Seeing them dote on Arabella, she began to feel a sense of panic that made her uneasy. What had happened during the month she was at school?
