The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1978

The reporter was visibly shocked, "We all knew Arabella as Summer, with that angelic voice, but who would've guessed she could

compose."

"She's got another identity as Melody."

Those words hit like a bombshell.

Arabella was none other than the world-renowned pianist and composer, Melody.

It didn't take long for the intesleuths to uncover that a while back, David had released two hit singles, both crafted by Melody,

her notes and lyrics keeping him on top of the charts.

Turned out, Arabella had been writing for her brother all along.

"I knew it was her! | saw her at a piano awards ceremony once. Someone tried to rip off her piece and she set the record straight

on stage!" a netizen spilled the beans.

"And this emerald bracelet," Shirley said, flaunting the piece of jewelry on her wrist to the reporters, "Bella gave it to me."

Connoisseurs in the crowd could tell that bracelet wasn't dime-a-dozen; it was worth a fortune, probably around ten million.

The online buzz kept growing.

[I work at Collins Fashion, and Arabella took over the family business the first month she was back, breathing new life into it. We all

adore her. Even when she went back to school, she kept things running smooth as silk.]

[It's no coincidence that Arabella and Hans had meetings together. She's got the sair about her. Totally from the sfamily.]

[I remember when Serena and Arabella visited the Collins Group. Sthought they were sisters separated at birth—one raised in

the spotlight and the other groomed in secret to take over. Turns out, they got it all mixed up!]

[No wonder Arabella was never a ndropped in high society. She was only recognized as part of the family six months ago.]

[Even though Arabella was switched at birth, a couple of guardian angels took her under their wing, teaching her the ropes. She

probably got houses and rare antiques. That's why she was so nonchalant about all those lavish gifts when she chome—she

was used to it.]

[Hasn't anyone realized she's the founder of Ar-Bl-Clear Skincare? When the brand took a hit from sscandal, she stepped up as

the founder to clear the air!]

[And when Romeo took Arabella out to McMllian Corporation for dinner, we thought he was cheating on Serena. Then Romeo's

mother showed up, and we thought she was there to catch a home-wrecker, but she sat with Arabella. Looking back, it all makes

sense.]

Meanwhile.

A swarm of reporters and photographers watched as the McMillian family and the Collins family got into their cars, cameras

flashing non-stop.

Serena's phone was blowing up with messages.

"So you were the one switched at birth? You're not the Collins heiress."

"You knew who you were six months ago and still lied to us, making us believe Arabella was an orphan adopted by the Collins

family. That's pretty low!"

"Arabella was found six months ago, living under the sroof, rightfully engaged to Romeo. We saw them cozying up at your

place and you misled us, making us think Arabella was the seducer."

"So your last nis Lott, not Collins? Should | change your contact to Serena Lott?"

"Kicked out of a billionaire's home. Does that make you poor now? No wonder you haven't been flaunting on Facebook lately."

"You're heartless, stealing another girl's place in a wealthy family!"

"Disgusting!"

"Such a poser. You said you were sitting with the McMillians for New Year's dinner, bragging about having steak."
