Chapter 2085

Arabella strolled into the living room of Reflections Villa, finding Lucas and Beverly comfortably

ensconced on the couch, sipping tea and sharing laughs with her parents.

"Hey, Bella," Beverly's features, always graced with an aristocratic warmth, softened into a welcoming

smile at the sight of Arabella.

"What's up so late? Aunt Beverly, Uncle Lucas, you needed to see me?" Arabella settled into an

armchair opposite them, an aura of authority emanating from her relaxed posture.

Beverly returned the smile, gentle as ever, "Recently, some trouble befell the family businesses, and all

clues pointed to someone known as 'Stinger'. Tonight, we found out you've nabbed him. Is that the

case?"

Arabella's lips curved into a slight smirk, "You both are well-informed, indeed. Yes, he's with me."

"Would you mind turning him over to us? We're eager to find out why he did that," Beverly's voice was

soft, almost as if coaxing a child.

"Why indeed?" Arabella mused, a playful edge to her tone. "Don't you already know?"

Both Lucas and Beverly were taken aback, clearly puzzled by the insinuation.

Tension suddenly crackled in the air.

"Bella, I'm not sure I follow." Lucas said with a congenial smile, his face a picture of benevolence.

"I'm just as clueless, just repeating what Stinger told me," Arabella maintained her smile.

Lucas, still smiling, prodded further, "And what exactly did Stinger tell you?"

"Not much yet, you arrived so soon," Arabella's smile didn't reach her eyes as she added, "Seems like

you're quite concerned about Stinger."

"Of course, he's thrown my companies into chaos. I'm at my wit's end; I just want to get to the bottom of

it," Lucas said, clearly agitated.

"Stinger's caught up in an investigation of mine. Once I wrap that up, I'll hand him over," Arabella stood,

signaling the end of the conversation.

"How about we just ask him a few questions, then he's all yours?" Beverly proposed, a hint of

negotiation in her voice.

"No can do," Arabella replied with a light laugh, "I know how eager you are, so I'll get right on the

interrogation and hand him over as soon as possible."

Beverly opened her mouth to protest but thought better of it, falling silent.

Lucas watched Arabella leave, his expression unreadable.

"Bella's always been headstrong; there's no stopping her," Kenneth chimed in, offering them more tea

with a cheery smile. "She's always had her own way of doing things."

Beverly smiled diplomatically, "Bella's quite the prodigy, agile and sharp."

But when Uriah himself clarified that he was the one who taught Arabella her moves, well, that's a

different story. Draмanоvеls.com

After exchanging pleasantries for a while longer, Lucas and Beverly finally glanced at the clock striking

half-past eleven and rose to take their leave.

"We won't keep you any longer," Beverly said with a gracious smile. "You should get some rest."

"Right, right, you too, head off and get some sleep," Louisa said, walking them to the front door.
