The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466 

She hustled over to Beverly, grabbed her arm tightly, buried her face in her chest, and whimpered, “Mom!” 

She looked like she’d been done wrong big time. 

Seeing her, Serena couldn’t help but feel pissed. If she didn’t know the full story, they’d think she was the bad guy! 

“What’s up?” Beverly looked down to see a handprint on her daughter’s right cheek. If they didn’t look closely, they’d think it was just makeup. 

Beverly had a hunch her daughter was up to something, so she went along with the act, raising her voice with concern, “What happened to your face?” All eyes were suddenly on them. 

“Mom, don’t ask!” Alma kept her head down, her voice tainted with reproach, as if she didn’t want anyone else to know. 

“What happened?” When Alma wouldn’t spill, Beverly turned to Serena, asking gently, “Alma went to see you just now; how did she come back like this? Do you know what happened?” 

Serena was at a loss. How was she supposed to know what Alma was up to? 

“Mom, it’s not Serena’s fault; don’t question her!” Alma immediately stopped her, saying,”I did this makeup myself; I thought it was fun.” 

“Who in their right mind would paint a handprint on their face?” Beverly said, reaching out to touch her face. 

“Ouch, it hurts. Don’t touch!” Alma teared up from the pain. 

At this point, everyone was looking at Serena in disbelief. 

Did Serena hit her? 

Beverly turned to Serena, saying tenderly, “Serena, it’s all because Alma was careless and dirtied your dress tonight. I’ll apologize on her behalf, and later I’ll take you shopping for a new dress. I wouldn’t feel right otherwise.” 

“I didn’t hit her!” Serena felt wronged. Beverly sounded like she hit Alma because Alma dirtied her dress! But that wasn’t the case at all! 

“I didn’t say you hit her; don’t jump to conclusions!” Beverly feigned a scolding smile, speaking softly, “Don’t rush; it’s Alma’s fault tonight.” 

“No, I really didn’t hit her! I don’t know what’s with the handprint on her face!” Serena said, turning to Kenneth and Louisa, “Dad, Mom, I really didn’t hit her!” Louisa was also confused. Alma had gone to the restroom to check on Serena out of concern, and when she came back, she had a red handprint on her face that looked real, even wincing when Beverly touched it. 

“Serena, what’s going on?” Louisa wouldn’t condemn her own daughter, but she wouldn’t cover for her if she made a mistake either.
