The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode -
Chapter 1351
Chapter 1351
The Collins clan was not to be trifled with, and everyone from top to bottom knew it.
Even though Eunice was well aware of this fact, and understood that bringing Arabella to the Collins’
doorstep was akin to waving a golden ticket for protection, the temptation of the fortune laid out before
them was too great to ignore. Especially since Bard was gone, and such a huge "pie" was up for grabs,
no one could keep their hands to themselves.
“If she dies, it's on you, not us! You're the one who brought her here,’ Teresa snapped, snatching the
contract and pen from Mr. Clarence's grasp and hurling them at Eunice. "Sign it now!"
Sign first, deal with the consequences later.
Arabella couldn't be left to walk free. If she lived to see another day, she would surely spill the beans to
Louisa.
And if Louisa sought vengeance for her brother Bard, she would become their most formidable
roadblock.
As for Eunice, not only did she need to die, but her death had to be particularly brutal to quell both her
and Bess"
resentment.
"Don't get too cocky,’ Arabella finally spoke up, her eyes glinting with an icy displeasure.
"This pretty little thing. with sixty bodyguards here, it would be a real shame if something happened to
her."
“You lay a finger on her, just try it!" Eunice threatened fiercely.
“Oh, what? Do you think you're still Mrs. Griffith?” Teresa taunted. “With Bard gone, you're nothing but
an ant beneath our feet. Besides, Alexander's already had his way with you. In a bit, I'll let these
bodyguards give you a proper welcome too! That's what you get for flaunting yourself around all the
time, pretending to be something you're not."
Eunice grabbed her by the collar, ready to give her a good thrashing.
"Hold on, Aunt Eunice,’ Arabella urged calmly, “there's no point in fighting a losing battle."
Seeing Eunice let go in frustration, Arabella coolly addressed Teresa, “So, if Aunt Eunice signs this, can
we leave Dawnstar safely?"
“Of course!" Teresa hadn't expected the young one to be so gullible. She smiled, "I always keep my
word. Just hand over all the property and shares to us, and I'll spare you both."
"If they wanted to let us go, they would've done so by now."
Before Eunice could finish, Teresa cut in, ‘It's because you havent signed yet. Sign it now, my patience
has its limits!"
She was still in the mood to cajole them.
But that would soon end.
“I just don't understand,’ Arabella interjected, lifting her gaze with an innocent bewilderment, “We're
family.
Wouldn't it be better to live happily together? Why harm Uncle Bard? If you wanted the money and
shares, you could've just asked him. He would've certainly agreed. Why kill him and freeze all familial
ties?"
Teresa couldn't help but think this girl was naive to a fault, even foolish.
“In the world of high society, what is family really worth? You think too highly of your uncle” Teresa
chuckled.
“You think he'd just hand over his position if I asked? You young people are so shortsighted. If it were
that simple, would we be where we are today?"
"But Uncle Bard had the ability to take the Griffith empire to greater heights. He only took over the
group from Grandpa. If you wanted it that badly, why didn't you ask Grandpa back then?"
“I'll tell you why,’ Teresa started, “it's because your great-grandfather left the position to your grandpa,
giving only a small dividend to his siblings, and that's what led to the situation."
Before Teresa could finish, Arlen interrupted sharply, "Enough talk. Make her sign."
