The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

“Cornelia.” Bernard reached out to steady her, but he himself could barely stand and almost collapsed. Luckily, their grandsons were quick, catching Cornelia just in time and steadying Bernard as well. Such betrayal within the family was too cruel for the two elders to bear. “You two monsters.” Bernard was in tears, a mix of anger and pain evident in his voice, “Cornelia has been driven to this by you. Are you satisfied now? You two, don't you dare say you're my son and daughter-in-law. | don’t want to see you again in my life again.” His emotions were overwhelming, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he struggled to breathe and had to be helped away to rest. Louisa looked at Lucas and Beverly with a cold heart and asked, “The people who broke into Reflections Villa tonight, who set fire to the basement, and the mysterious figure who has been threatening Martin all this time—are they your accomplices?” “Yes,” Beverly and Lucas admitted in unison. “Erik was also forced by you to take the poison?” REST Louisa decided to reveal the truth, “Actually, Erik died not long after taking the poison and arriving at Reflections Villa, but Bella wanted to draw out the person behind the scenes, so she spread the rumor that Erik was still alive. She even had the servants throw blood-stained gauze into the trash can, and sure enough, you couldn't sit still and kept coming out to probe.” Hearing Louisa's words, Beverly was shocked that the blood-stained gauze was a deliberate ploy by Arabella. At the time, she even had someone take these gauze back for testing, and the results matched the poison Erik had ingested. “When did you start suspecting us?” Beverly looked at her niece on the couch, genuinely surprised by her niece’s sharp mind. “I had suspicions even before Serena left the family,” Arabella replied truthfully. Beverly was even more surprised; during their few encounters, they had been nothing but kind. Why would her niece suspect them without any reason? “But | didn’t investigate deeply until around the New Year, when you tried to use a new driver to clear your name, and that's when | started digging deeper.” Back then, in order not to have them follow the lead of the film company, Beverly deliberately led them to investigate her new driver. Once they found nothing amiss with the driver, they would think they had suspected the wrong person, thus relaxing their vigilance toward her. “It was mainly the incident with the driver, your reaction was too deliberate. Since the day | met you, | have never seen you show a nervous expression.” It was only then that Beverly realized that she had left one crucial mistake, she had been too deliberate back then, and this had given herself away. But now it was too late for explanations.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
