The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 2006

The internet was abuzz with a trending hashtag that soared to the top of the search list —

#TheTruthBehindArabella'sFight#

Curious netizens clicked to discover that a swarm of reporters had besieged the headquarters of

Molly's corporation, waiting to catch the CEO Molly after work, demanding an explanation. True to the

plan she had made with Arabella, Molly revealed what really happened.

"At that time, Arabella had already founded her own startup, QY, but to support me, a junior designer,

she willingly played the role of my assistant and accompanied me to a design competition. The day

before the contest, she was still teaching me design tips and tricks. That night, to show my gratitude, I

wanted to treat her to a late-night snack, but we ran into some troublemakers."

"Without any reason, those thugs came after me. Bella, trying to protect me and the food truck owner,

injured her hand. Later, I found out it was my cousin Myra who had set it all up. She intended for me to

get hurt so I couldn't compete. All of this was confirmed during police interrogation, with recordings to

prove it. If you don't believe me, ask the police."

"When it comes to my cousin, I have to talk about the drama within the Cooper family. It used to be my

grandfather who called the shots, but after he passed away, and Grandma left us shortly after. The

company was managed by my dad until he too left us, leaving everyone looking up to my uncle as the

new head."

"In the entire Cooper family, no one stood up for my mom and me. My uncle and his wife often bullied

us, and even their kids, my cousins, would walk all over us. Even after my mom and I moved to a

rental, they would still come to bother us from time to time, as if making our lives miserable was some

kind of sport."

"Two years ago, on the anniversary of my dad's death, Myra and a few bodyguards kicked away the

offerings at my dad's grave and even dumped trash on it, uttering disrespectful things. My mom

couldn't stand it and confronted her, only to be injured by Myra's bodyguards."

"Last year, around the same time I met Arabella, she was like a beacon of light in my life. I remember it

was also the anniversary of my dad's passing when Myra once again desecrated his grave with trash

and paint, intending for her bodyguards to abuse my mom in front of his resting place. When I arrived,

she wanted her bodyguards to do the same to me. If Bella hadn't been there to help, my mom and I

would have..."

Molly's eyes reddened as she spoke, but now, after spending so much time with Arabella, she quickly

regained control of her emotions, returning to her usual strong and brave demeanor. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She addressed the crowd of reporters, saying, "You all know what happened next. My cousin Harry

came forward to say that their family was haunted by dreams of my dad, leading to their mental

breakdowns, and he chose to end his life, leaving only him behind. He decided to return the company

and the house to me, begging for my father's forgiveness from beyond the grave."

The incident had made headlines before, and now it was being brought up again, linking Arabella's

defense at the food truck to this family drama.

Public opinion quickly turned around.

[Who knew Molly had such a troubled life?]

[Yeah, I think she must have had some professional training. How else could one person take on so

many thugs, especially since those guys were street-hardened.] NovelDrama.Org

Soon after, one of Arabella's eight grandfathers, Uriah, was surrounded by reporters as he left the

tearoom after a gathering with old friends.
