The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1530

Lindsay felt like she was caught in a tornado of confusion and disbelief.

"I just pretended to be a disciple of Queena to fool you, and because of that, you doubt our friendship? So that's why you wanted

revenge and spread wild rumors and lies aboutout there? How could you?!"

Lindsay was at a loss for words.

"I'm so disappointed in you," Serena said, her tone dripping with disillusionment. She then turned to Romeo and the other guests,

"I'm so sorry, everyone. This evening's mess is on me. | apologize for causing such a scene. | know my presence will only spoil the

mood, and I'm sure none of you wanthere. I'll take my leave now. Enjoy the rest of your night."

"Hold on a second." Lindsay finally pieced together what was happening. It hit her like a lightning bolt—Serena had claimed to be

Queena's disciple, and now, she was pinning the blon her for the lies about Jamie Noelle intervening in her romance.

It had been Serena who tearfully told her the story. How cit suddenly beca sheer fabrication?

Could it be that Jamie Noelle never interfered, and Serena was lying again?

Realizing this possibility, Lindsay was about to explode with anger when Serena shouted, "I must have been blind to befriend

someone like you. We're done!"

Lindsay was dumbstruck.

Fuming, Serena pushed through the crowd and intended on leaving, when Romeo said, "Who said you could go?"

Serena almost called him "brother-in-law" but stopped herself, fearing that the guests would question her relationship with Romeo,

and even more, that her faux heiress identity would be betrayed. She feigned innocence, "I honestly had no idea she would make

up such nonsense behind my back."

Lindsay was livid, "Who's making things up? You're the one who toldJamie Noelle ruined your love life.

“I've hardly ever met Serena in my life, let alone had any kind of relationship," Romeo clarified in front of everyone, "My heart

belongs only to the lady by my side."

With that, he reached for Arabella's hand in a gesture that seemed to touch everyone there.

The guests were moved by his action, and many were utterly shocked.

Hadn't Romeo and Serena grown up together? How cthey met each other so rarely?

It seemed like they had no connection at all.

Yet Serena had often posted on Facebook about visiting the McMillian estate, playing chess with Phillip. It looked like she had

beca beloved figure in the McMillian family.

What was the truth?

It appeared that Serena was just blowing her own trumpet and Romeo had never really cared about her.

Lindsay finally got it—Romeo and Serena had never been involved. They were practically strangers, and everything was a

fabrication by Serena.

"You liar!"

Before Lindsay could finish, Romeo said, "All three of you owe her an apology."

He was referring to Arabella. After all, the rumors had been spread by them.

Serena was the first to apologize, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. | won't do it again."

Her apology cso quickly that it seemed almost comical.

Madeline hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She was unclear whether it was Lindsay or Serena who was lying, but now

being scared, she said, "I'm sorry, it was my mistake for speaking without knowing the whole truth. | won't be so reckless again."

Although angry, Lindsay knew she had to apologize to Arabella, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for listening to a deceiver."

At that moment, a servant churrying over, "Mr. McMillian, Ms. Bella, Mr. Eugene would like to have a word with you."
