Chapter 1843
Arabella had barely set foot back in her room as her phone buzzed with a call from Romeo.
"What's up?" Romeo hadn't heard from his girl in ages.
She recounted the day's events as she told him, "Now, I'm working on some audio editing."
"Alright, you carry on," Romeo said, reluctant to interrupt her flow. "I'll call you back later."
"OK."
After she hung up, Romeo's gaze lingered on the screen.
His grandparents and parents had sent him numerous messages, incessantly asking if he had invited
Bella over for the McMillian family's dinner, whether Bella had accepted, whether she had any other
holiday plans, whether they could take Bella on a trip abroad, what to get for her gift, and what she'd
been into lately.
But they hadn’t received any replies from Romeo. And Phillip was the first to call.
"What on earth are you busy with?" Philip couldn’t wait to see Arabella!
"I'll ask Bella once she's done," Romeo replied.
As soon as Phillip heard Bella was busy, he said, "The New Year is just around the corner, and the
sweet girl is still swamped? Is it work-related? And you, as her fiancé, can't even help her out and just
waited around! What about all the effort the McMillian family has put into training you over the years?
You can't even take some of her workload? That's not what I'd call a competent fiancé!"
Romeo was speechless.
"It’s already so late in this month! And she's so young to be carrying such heavy burdens," Phillip
sighed, feeling sorry for her. "We can't just tell her to drop everything and live a life of leisure or she
would replace life meaningless. How can we get her to take a break, to live for herself?"
If she were willing to live it up and spend money without a care, Romeo would be thrilled.
But he knew Bella's nature; she would never stop on her own.
"She knows her limits. Once she's done, I'll talk to her."
"Just remind her not to overwork, to stay hydrated, and to have someone bring her some fruit or
something. Don't let her wear herself out! The New Year is almost here."
Phillip went on with his advice and before hanging up, he sighed to his wife, "The girl's still busy,
perhaps we should encourage our contacts to place some larger orders after the holidays, let her earn
a bit more, a bit faster."
Perhaps then, Bella would hit her target and take a breathe?
Even a few days' rest would be something!
Romeo was about to tell the old man not to interfere with Bella's work when the line went dead, leaving
only the dial tone.
After finishing her audio work, Arabella barely had a moment to herself before she heard an urgent
knocking at her door.
"Ms. Bella, the old master fainted from anger upon hearing about Serena's actions..."
Arabella opened the door, confused. She thought her grandfather had known about Serena's misdeeds
days ago, why would he suddenly pass out now?
"It's Bernard and Cornelia, they've arrived,” said the breathless servant.
Arabella had an inkling of what was happening and hastened downstairs.
The servant followed. Still panting, she added, "The old master and his wife have been here over an
hour. Chasel and Sean said you were upstairs dealing with things, so we didn't call you. They wanted
to wait until you were done to invite you down."
But they hadn't anticipated that the old couple would react so strongly upon hearing Serena's misdeeds
—Bernard with fainting due to anger, and Cornelia with ongoing silent tears.
