The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode novel Chapter 1341

Chapter 1341

"Are you Mr. Collins's daughter?" Burnell was taken aback by her identity.

Ever since the Sullivan family moved to Dawnstar, it had been seven or eight years since they last visited their homeland. At a charity gala almost a decade ago, Burnell had the good fortune of briefly meeting Mr. Collins, and he was astonished to find that his daughter had grown into such a stunning woman.

“What's your name?" Burnell was eager to get to know her.

"Is there something else you want?"

"I'd like to get to know you. Can I have your contact information?" Burnell pulled out his smartphone, his gaze filled with genuine interest and nervous anticipation.

At that moment, Arabella noticed a maid nearby clenching her fists with her thumbs tapping against her forehead as if signaling to a butler across the room.

The butler caught on immediately.

After a few seconds, several other maids replicated the gesture.

The butler nodded and discreetly walked away.

"If it's not too much trouble, could you tell me where you live? Who did you come with? How can I get in touch with you usually?” Burnell didn't want to miss this opportunity to connect with her.

But Arabella replied coolly, "I'm already engaged."

Burnell watched her walk away, stunned for several seconds before he processed what she had said.

She was engaged? She had a fiancé?

But then, he thought it made sense. A woman as beautiful and spirited as her, and the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, was bound to be spoken for early on.

Still, why did he feel a pang of disappointment, as if he'd just gone through a breakup?

Arabella noticed a narrow path to the right of the mansion, a strip of land about three feet wide bordered by the villa's fence and wall, unguarded.

She easily scaled the side using the railings and the wall for support and slipped through a window into a second-floor restroom. When she cracked the door to peek outside, she saw no guests, just bodyguards filling the second-floor hallway.

Venturing out now would surely raise an alarm.

Arabella gently closed the restroom door, but this action caught the attention of a keen-eyed quard.

Perhaps because he noticed the restroom door moving, the guard approached, swung the door open, and finding it empty, his eyes darted to the open window. He strode over to investigate.

Arabella seized the opportunity, descending from above to knock him out, then donned his uniform and stepped out of the restroom.

Just then, an elderly person arrived by elevator, prompting all the guards, including Arabella in her disguise, to bow their heads in repect.
