The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1729

Seeing Sean in the flesh, she felt a twinge of fear, but managed to plaster on a calm, collected smile.

"Sean, I've long heard of you. May | ask what brings you to my modest hat this late hour?"

"Your place is a dump, huh?" Sean's gaze was less than pleased.

Did she dare to drag his precious sister to this hellhole? Was she looking for trouble?

"Just hand her over," Sean said curtly with no interest in wasting words.

But Rain, still playing dumb, asked, "I'm not sure who you're referring to, Sean?"

"Don't play coy with me." Sean started, but before he could finish, Steward pressed a knife swiftly against Rain's throat.

Sean looked at her coldly. "Do | look like I've got nothing better to do than to watch your little act?"

Rain was a bit terrified. She couldn't believe how fast Steward had moved; she hadn't even seen where the knife had cfrom.

"Do you want that girl?"

Sean replied with nonchalant ease, "Bring her down."

"She wasn't easy to catch, and you think you can just walk out with her without lifting a finger."

Rain's attempt to negotiate sparked Sean's temper. "Who the hell are you to bargain with me? | could let my man here lift a finger

to send you straight to hell first."

"Why do you need her so badly?" Rain persisted, teeth clenched.

"Is it your place to ask?" Sean had no tfor this. He lit a cigarette and exhaled slowly. "You've got ten seconds to bring her out,

or I'll blow this junkyard sky-high."

Rain knew they had not finished tormenting Arabella. She couldn't give her up so easily.

So she feigned composure, laughing, "Cool down, Sean. Go back and I'll personally deliver her corpse to your doorstep."

"Corpse?" Sean's eyes were icy, the cigarette dropping to the ground.

"Yes, she offended us, so we killed her. The body's a bit messy, though. Give us stto piece her back together, then I'll

bring it to you, Sean. | wouldn't want to frighten you."

Sean laughed bitterly at her claim. "So the body's fallen apart, huh?"

"Mutilated and dismembered, tossed from the eighteenth floor," Rain said, mistaking his laughter for satisfaction.

"So, is there not a chance that she’s alive?"

"Of course not. From that height, even a robot would break apart, let alone her. We already chopped off her limbs, and her guts

spilled out. That's why we need stbefore we deliver her to you."

Sean nodded, then suddenly grabbed her collar, his voice menacing, "She's my own sister, whom | haven't even had the chance to

spoil, and you dared lay a finger on her?"

Rain was baffled. What did he mean, his own sister?

That. that woman was Sean's sister?

Martha hadn't mentioned this.

"Are you out of your damn mind?" Sean threw her aside, and Steward's blade made a clean cut across her face.

Blood gushed.

"Ah." Rain trembled in pain, reaching for her face, but Steward slashed again.

Everyone present was shocked, unsure of what was happening.

But since Rain wasn't dead yet, they dared not move, fearing she'd suffer even more. This is exclusive content from

"Did you think you were worthy of ruining Ms. Bella's face?" Steward twisted her limbs with brutal efficiency, then drew his knife

across her throat in one swift motion.
