Chapter 1374

"Ms. Bella will know what to do. I'll go fetch her!"

The servant had barely taken a step when Serena's sharp voice cut through, "By the time you're done

running around, Grandpa's either going to be in agony or frozen stiff. Let's see if he can stand up first,

we can talk about everything else back inside!"

The last thing she wanted was to lose face in front of Bella and she certainly didn't want Bella stealing

the spotlight!

"I'm fine.” Darren didn't want his granddaughter to worry. He tried to stand, grimacing with the sharp

pain in his back, groaning several times before. With the help of his granddaughter and the servant, he

managed to get on his feet.

In the study.

Bard spoke softly to the girl before him, “How did you find evidence about all those past incidents?"

Some of these things happened months or even years ago, yet Arabella had managed to uncover

evidence of Calvin and Arlen’s schemes against her grandparents. It was no small feat.

"It was actually something I overheard from your staff. Only a few people knew about my grandparents’

travel plans. I had them list those people and started looking into them. Eventually, I cracked Mr.

Clarence's phone, exported his chat logs with others, and traced the connections from there."

“You know how to crack into people's phones?" Bard was surprised but nodded in acknowledgment,

"Makes sense. If you can tamper with multiple security systems, what's a single phone to you?"

Bard laughed, "Bella, you keep impressing me. You're going places, kid"

“You flatter me, Uncle Bard."

"How was Grandpa's mood in the OR last night?" Bard couldn't help but ask with concern.

“Disappointed, heartbroken, and furious,’ Arabella summarized succinctly, "But he came to terms with it

later."

“That's good to hear.” Bard sighed in relief, "I was worried about his emotional swings causing more

health issues when he called you to his room last night."

"He was indeed unwell, with a headache and feeling irritable. I gave him some acupuncture, and he fell

asleep after that."

“Thank goodness for you." Bard looked appreciatively at the girl before him, "You've had to carry so

much on your slender shoulders lately. This family owes you a lot, and yet we still lean on you."

“You're too kind, Uncle Bard. I'm happy to contribute to the family"

"Now that things have settled, once I wrap up a few loose ends, I'll take you out for some fun"

Arabella smiled, "No need, Uncle Bard. You should spend time with Aunt Eunice when you're free.

Romeo will take me out."

At the mention of Romeo, Bard paused, then smiled, “Ah, you've got plans with that young man, huh?

Here I am holding you up from your date. Go on then, enjoy your day with him. Don't worry about us. I'll

make sure Grandpa is well taken care of.

“with you and Aunt Eunice here, I'm not worried; Arabella beamed, "If there's nothing else, I should get

going."

She didn't want to keep Romeo waiting.

“Alright, have fun, Bard said warmly, watching her, "And bring Romeo by sometime. I'd like to meet him,

see how he treats you. Your wedding's just around the corner."

Arabella cut him off before he could finish, "That's jumping the gun."

"You're practically engaged, and he's chased you from Solterra to Dawnstar. How's that jumping the

gun? If you say the word, I bet it'll be a done deal in no time,’ Bard laughed heartily.

"You're just teasing me now, Uncle Bard. I'm off.’ Arabella wasn't aware of the bashful, sweet smile

spreading across her face as she spoke.

It was the first time Bard saw his niece with such an expression, and his smile deepened, watching her

leave and thinking to himself, "That McMillian lad is one lucky guy to have such an outstanding

partner."

After heading downstairs, Arabella sent Romeo her location. Before she could ask him to come over,

he immediately texted back, [I'll be there in twenty minutes.]

A smile curled on Arabella's lips, [No rush, I still need to check on Grandpa.]
