The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1995

"David, | can't wait to get my hands on your wedding sweets! Make sure you sendan invitation when the tcomes."

"And for your wedding, Grandma Stacy will surely give you a gift."

Kelly forced a strained smile; the misunderstanding had deepened.

“Kelly has just taken over the family business and is swamped with work, and my schedule is packed toot. I'm afraid you will have

to wait a bit longer," David said, escorting guests out with his father. "But if there's any good news, we'll definitely let everyone

know."

"David, my boy, you might be busy, but don't keep Kelly waiting too long."

"Absolutely, you have to give her a wedding—that'll be the talk of the nation."

"You two really look like a matching pair, a perfect couple indeed."

Kelly watched their retreating figures with a wry smile. A perfect couple? How could they look like a perfect couple!

"Bella, what should | do with this bracelet." Kelly turned her gaze to Arabella.

"Do you have any feelings for David?" Arabella suddenly asked.

"What?" Kelly looked at her friend in surprise. "You don't think we'd be a good match as well, do you?"

"You're both single, and if you don't dislike each other, you could start as friends and see where that leads."

"You wantto be your sister-in-law?" Kelly was stunned. "Ever since | started managing the company, | barely have tto

sleep, let alone date."

"But you've been wanting to get out of the single club, right? Mr. and Mrs. Piper have been on your case, and my parents are doing

the sto my brother."

"But we can't just settle..." Kelly looked in the direction David had left. He was handsome, with a good personality, but she had

never considered dating him before. However, using such an outstanding person as a shield didn't sound too bad.

It would stop her parents from nagging her, prevent relatives from setting her up on dates...

Her life could be a lot quieter!

"Put the bracelet away for now; I'll talk to David later. By the way, you haven't toldwhat you wanted to seeabout today."

Arabella's words jogged Kelly's memory of her original purpose for coming. "Didn't you askto find smedicinal herbs? | just

happened to pass by, so | brought them over."

Kelly handed over a small box to Arabella. "Oh, and on the way here, | got a call. Have you seen the trending search results? The

situation's blown up, and | can't contain it."

"What happened?"

"The other day at the homecoming banquet, didn't you hold a raffle to give away cars to 99 lucky fans? Sof them got into

accidents, and inspection reports show that there's something wrong with those cars. Now there are voices online questioning the

quality of the cars, suggesting that the Collins family is just putting on a show. They're doubting that the cars’ actual quality

doesn’t match the price, accusing the Collins family of using subpar cars for show."

Arabella's lips curled into a smile, almost excitedly, "It seems like someone behind the scenes is getting restless and stirring the

pot.”

"I figured it was their doing and they've got clout. | can't even suppress this news. Also, someone exposed that the straight-A

student is a street thug, releasing a video of you with Molly having late-night snacks and getting into a fight."

"Now there are voices doubting whether the Collins family’s true daughter is as stellar and well-behaved as claimed during the

banquet."
