The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 100

“I was wondering why the hell our company’s employee turnover rate is so high. Turns out she’s

been stirring up trouble behind the scenes!” Kenneth said.

“She did screw up quite a bit.” Arabella said.

Besides what Arabella just mentioned, there was more, seriously breaching the law. They had handed

the evidence over to the police. What awaits Linda would be a hefty smackdown from the law.

“With so many businesses under the Collins family name, it’s impossible for the group’s higher–ups to

keep tabs on every little thing happening in each subsidiary, especially smaller scale ones.” Kenneth

said.

He thought sending in experienced, competent staff to manage would at least cut down some of the

hassle, but boy, was he wrong. “Bella, you have a knack for business. With you back in the family, your RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

brother’s burden can be lightened. Once you’ve settled into this company, Dad will give you bigger,

more numerous ones. In the future, you and your brother can expand the Collins family.” Kenneth said.

“Don’t…” Arabella said.

This company was already keeping her hands full. Even though it was all minor stuff, it was still taking

up a lot of her time. She didn’t even have time for her own affairs.

“Everyone can see your capabilities.” Kenneth said.

When Kenneth handed over the company to her, he didn’t expect her to do well, just wanted to give her

a shot. He was even prepared for bankruptcy. But to his surprise, in just a few days, she had got the

company running like a well–oiled machine, firing and hiring when needed.

“Bella, did you sleep well at Phillipn’s last night?” What Kenneth really wanted to ask was if Phillip

treated her well, and what exactly happened last night. But Arabella simply replied, “It was all good.”

Meanwhile.

Romeo had been staring at the chat window for a while, finally unable to resist dialing her number.

Arabella was talking to Kenneth when her phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing it was Romeo, she said,

“Dad, I’ve got a call coming in.”

“Alright, go ahead. I’ll hang up now. Be home early tonight!” Kenneth said.

Kenneth wanted to reward her with a sumptuous late–night snack. God knew if she had enough to eat

at Phillip’s last night.

“Okay.” After ending the call with Kenneth, Arabella picked up Romeo’s call, “What’s up?”

“What are you up to?” Romeo asked.

“Just finished up with some company stuff, barely got a few words in with my dad before you called.”

Arabella said.

Hearing it was her dad, Romeo felt a bit better, “You didn’t reply, so I was wondering if you needed

help?” “No need.” Arabella said.

“What do you feel like eating for lunch?” Romeo asked.

Arabella thought for a moment before saying, “Anything’s fine.”

They chatted for a bit until Dean brought in the company’s procurement list, and Arabella ended the

call. Over at Reflections Villa.

Serena just got back from outside, carrying a big bag of food, “Dad, Mom, I got your favorite food.” No

one responded.

Upon seeing Kenneth finish his call, Louisa immediately asked, “Is Bella alright?”

Her mind was all about Arabella.
