The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 411 “Whoa, am | seeing this right? They actually agreed? This client must be loaded” “I so wish | could land a billion-dollar project” “Just what kind of job is worth a billion?” Arabella opened the system sent by the client on her phone, and it was way more complex than she had anticipated. There was no way she could crack it in half an hour.

At that moment, Romeo walked in after a phone call. Seeing that she hadn't touched her food and was still on her phone, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you working or something?” “Nope” Arabella put away her phone and looked at the dozen or so dishes in front of her. “Why did you order so much food?” She hadn't noticed earlier, but he’d ordered a ton of food in a flash..

“There are snew dishes. | thought you might want to try them. What do you think?” Meanwhile Carl was stunned when Alex logged off after receiving the money. Was Alex going to take off? Everyone said Alex was amazing, with a 100% success rate on tasks, but they were all stories. This was their first tworking with Alex! If he really took off.

After sthought, Carl couldn't help but call Romeo.

This was the fourth tRomeo had received a call from Carl that day, and he was getting a bit impatient. “You better have something important to say.” Carl had the audacity to interrupt his date.

“Mr. McMillan, Alex took the money and logged off! I'm worried he.” Losing smoney was one thing, but the system was something they'd worked hard to get.

If it got leaked, their losses would be immense! “He wouldn't dare.” Romeo didn’t seem bothered. As long as Alex left his information on the website, finding him would be a piece of cake.

Carl was surprised that Mr. McMillan was more relaxed than he was, and his heart finally settled down.

Elsewhere.

Zachary entered the password to his villa, and the first thing he saw was a small garden.

“Zachary, look, so many roses!” Yolanda hadn't expected the seeds she'd casually sown to bloom into so many flowers, and she was overjoyed.

} “The maid comes over to clean and water them every day.” Zachary led her into the garden, and seeing her happy face made him feel better.

“In the future, the girl who will admire these flowers with you will be someone else.” Yolanda touched the scene and pretended to be sentimental.

“Yoli.” “I'm okay; as long as you're happy, I'm satisfied!” Yolanda pretended to squat down to smell the roses.

She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, closed her eyes, and showed a calm face, deliberately showing her cleavage.

Under the sunlight, every movement she made was full of innocent beauty.

After a while, she stood up and said, “Zachary, could you geta small jar? | want to dig up one.” Zachary swallowed hard, his voice a bit heavy. “If you'd like, you can cover and see them anytime.” “That won't do; this will be the hof you and another girl in the future. It's not appropriate forto come.” Yolanda didn’t wait for his answer and continued, “Zachary, I'm a bit thirsty.” “Cwith me.” Zachary tried to lead her inside for water, but she hesitated and stopped.

“Zachary, | won't go in. What if your other half finds out I've been here?” Yolanda looked a bit uneasy.

“You are my other half.” Zachary looked back at her and said it word for word, then pulled her into the living room.

Other than the maid who cto clean every day, no one else had been to the house, so there was only bottled water.

Zachary handed Yolanda one of the bottles of water and even helped her open it.

Yolanda noticed his small changes and was secretly delighted. She took a few sips, and while she was looking for an opportunity to drug his water, his phone rang.. While he went to answer the call, Yolanda quickly poured the prepared powder into his water and mixed it well, then pretended to sit nonchalantly on the couch, waiting for him to return.

After a while, Zachary cback from his call, took a few sips of water, and noticed nothing unusual.

Yolanda breathed a sigh of relief, then softly said, “Zachary, could you showaround here again?” “Sure.” Zachary took her hand and showed her the living room, kitchen, and bedroom.

Looking at the large bed in the bedroom, Yolanda couldn't help but say, “In the future, you'll be here with another girl.” She bit her lip, pretending to be heartbroken, and broke away from his hand to leave.

Zachary quickly grabbed her hand, saw the tears in her eyes, and his last bit of reason was about to disappear.

“Yoli.” Zachary cornered her against the wall and passionately kissed her.

“Zachary, don’t.” Yolanda tilted her neck back, pretending to dissuade him: “We've broken off our engagement; this isn’t right.” “Yoli, let's not break off the engagement” “What did you say?” “I want to marry you and be with you! Zachary had lost his reason, and all he had left was a promise: “I will take responsibility for you!” After a while, Yolanda looked at the boy sleeping next to her with a triumphant smile on her lips.

If Zachary’s mother knew about this, she’d be furious! Thinking about the old woman’s angry face made Yolanda secretly pleased.

Hmph, the last one standing was still her, Yolanda! That old woman dared to encourage her son to leave her, she’ll show her once she married into the Panter family! Yolanda leaned against the headboard and told Olga Murphy about it. Olga was thrilled because it meant Zachary had to take responsibility for Yoli for the rest of his life.

This was great news! “Mom, didn’t you say you were going to invite all our friends and family to my party? You—can start planning now; Zachary will be there too.” “Great, that's awesome!” It wasn't until it got dark that Zachary opened his eyes. He heard sfaint sobbing next to him. He turned his head and saw Yoli crying! Yolanda sat at the head of the bed, hugging a pillow, her eyes swollen from crying. She looked like a sad little bunny.

“Zachary, | wanted to, | don’t blyou: Now that you're awake, let's just forget this ever happened. | need to go home.” She pretended to get up, but Zachary quickly grabbed her hand. He saw the red marks on her neck and arms. Zachary was completely stunned.

He didn’t know how he could have lost control like that! Yoli was only eighteen.

“I'm sorry, Yoli, | lost control.” Zachary helplessly pulled her into his arms and said, “I once said, ‘I'll take responsibility for you.”.
