The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 506

Arabella, along with Kenneth and Louisa, headed over to a charity dinner.

This shindig was started years ago by a big shot from Summerfield. It’s held annually, and ever since the guy kicked the bucket, his daughter had been keeping it going. It’s been a thing for about seventeen years now.

Kenneth and Louisa had been coming for the full seventeen years. But this time was a little different; they rocked up with their daughter Arabella in tow, who pretty much stole the show as soon as she arrived.
