The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2035

If it weren't for Arabella's lightning-quick reflexes, that knife would have sailed through the air and

pierced her heart.

Suddenly, from every direction, a slew of assailants appeared, their faces obscured by black masks,

each one wielding a switchblade, lunging swiftly towards the two women.

"Ah. Who the hell are you??" Cathy cried out in terror.

What shocked her even more was the realization that Arabella was faster and more precise than any of

them.

As two blades aimed for Arabella simultaneously, she kicked the attacker in front of her and deftly

grabbed his knife, slashing at the arm of the assailant behind her, who immediately started bleeding

profusely.

The perilous moments flashed before Cathy's eyes as Arabella pushed and pulled her around like a

puppet on strings, until finally, Cathy's gaze settled on the scene - all the attackers were down,

sprawled on the ground.

Cathy was utterly astounded; there must have been at least a dozen of them, each clutching their

wounds, writhing in pain on the ground. Blood was everywhere.

"Leaving you all alive is a message. Go tell your boss I'm definitely coming for him. And tell him to pony

up for some real talent next time; you guys are just amateur hour."

Cathy was stunned, her eyes wide with shock as she looked at Bella, who was too cool for school,

throwing down such badass lines to the defeated hitmen.

"Take your toys and scram," Arabella tossed the switchblade in front of them, a gesture that was more

insulting than injurious.

A few attackers would have left if they could, but Arabella had been ruthless; they couldn't even stand

without help. Eventually, they managed to stagger away with the aid of others.

A beam of headlights cut through the darkness, illuminating the gruesome trail of blood on the ground.

Romeo stepped out of the car swiftly and saw the retreating figures, "What happened here?"

"Nothing much, just asking them to send a message for me." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Cathy was in shock again, Arabella's tone was just too casual. She nonchalantly opened the car door,

gesturing for Cathy to get in first.

For Cathy, it was her first encounter with a scene straight out of a thriller movie, and she found herself

frozen in place. Seeing her like this, Romeo uttered helplessly, "Buck up."

Since Bella wanted to send a message, he decided not to pursue, only asking, "You hurt anywhere?"

"Playing with rookies, how could I get hurt?"

Cathy felt like she'd been sucker-punched hearing Bella's comment. Such a terrifying ordeal, and to

Arabella, it was like playing with kids.

"Glad you're okay. Seems like the mastermind couldn't wait any longer and wanted to silence us." As

Romeo spoke, he turned to Cathy, "Still not over it?"
