The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 21

In the end, the entire medical center was reduced to ashes.

They always had a hunch that someone had set the fire on purpose.

Jeff said, “If I find out that the fire was intentionally set to make your life difficult at the Murphy family, I

won’t let them off easily.”

After chatting for a while, Arabella saw that it was almost time, and Kelly should be arriving at the

agreed place soon. So she went downstairs and said, “Mom, I’m going out for a bit.”

Louisa wanted to ask where her daughter was going, who she was meeting, and what she was doing,

but she didn’t want to disturb her, so she just smiled and asked, “Should I have Aiden drive you?”

“Mom,” Serena couldn’t help but speak up, “I just told Aiden that I’m going somewhere, meeting a

friend later…”

Louisa furrowed her brow, “Can Pete drive you then?”

“Pete has a habit of taking a nap around this time. If I wake him up now, I’m afraid he won’t be in a

good mental state, and it won’t be safe for him to drive…” Serena said and then pretended to

understand as she glanced at Arabella, “Bella, if you have something urgent, I can call my friend and

cancel, and then Aiden can accompany you.”

“No need, I can drive.”

But the Rolls-Royce had already been damaged in a collision with a truck and had been sent for

repairs. Arabella thought for a moment and asked, “Are there any other cars at home?”

Louisa replied, “Of course we have other cars! Let the driver take you to the garage, and you can

choose whichever car you like to drive!”

Just pick one?

Arabella was also surprised.

Louisa lightly pressed the intercom on the wall and directly connected to the driver, “Aiden, come here

and take Bella to the garage.”

The garage had three floors!

There were various supercars, limited edition sedans, luxury RVs… all in different colors.

“What does our family do?” Arabella was shocked by the luxury cars in front of her and finally asked.

“Miss Arabella, don’t you know?” The driver was also surprised. He thought everyone would recognize

Kenneth when they saw him since he was the wealthiest man in the country. After all, who wouldn’t

know the richest person in the country?

“The Master has been the wealthiest man in the country…”

Ranked first on the national rich list for twelve consecutive years!

“Since the Master retired last year and the Young Master took over the group, he has become the

wealthiest man in the country.”

Regardless of who the richest person is, they are all part of the Collins family.

Arabella understood. Previously, Attlee and Olga had said that her parents were unemployed…

So, they were unemployed for this reason.

After a while, a flashy sports car left the Collins residence and drove onto the main street.

To avoid attracting attention, Arabella parked the Bugatti Veyron in a nearby underground garage

where Kelly had been waiting for quite some time.

When Arabella stepped out of the car, Kelly’s eyes nearly popped out. She stared at Arabella’s luxury

car for several seconds, then asked incredulously, “This is your family’s car?”

Although Kelly knew Arabella lived in the Reflections Villa in Summerfield, this kind of expensive car

wasn’t something an average rich person could

own…

Kelly seemed to be greatly shocked, “Which family is your biological father from?”

“The Collins family.”

“Kenneth Collins?” Kelly’s eyes widened in surprise.

“You know him?”

“Who wouldn’t know the country’s richest man? You’re… you’re damn lucky, Kelly exclaimed, “The

Murphys must be regretting it now.”

In a luxurious private mansion in the suburbs, the lights were dazzling.

The mansion had thirty-two entrances. If viewed from the sky, it looked like a child’s drawing of the

sun.

Each car would enter a different entrance, then into a different garage. After parking, they would take a

dedicated elevator to their prepared private

rooms.

Throughout this process, they wouldn’t see other guests, and even after finishing, they wouldn’t meet

other guests on the road.

Because of the high degree of privacy and security here, the entry tickets were always in high

demand.

Kelly was the Piper family’s beloved little princess, so naturally, she could get these tickets.

She and Arabella were regulars here.

After parking, they took the elevator to the 3rd private room, which was fully equipped with drinks and

snacks.

This was Serena’s first time in such a place. If not for her good friend leading the way, she might not

know how vast the world outside was, and that this gorgeous private mansion was actually an

underground auction house.

“Brooklyn, how did you know about this place?”

Serena had told her bestie Brooklyn Reed at noon that she didn’t know what gift to give to the sick

Phillip, so Brooklyn suggested they come here to look.

“I’ve been here a few times with my brother. There are all kinds of rare and precious things here! Just

wait and see what Phillip likes, buy it and give it to him, he’ll definitely be very happy.”

Brooklyn was also a rich second gen. She figured that Phillip had seen all kinds of common treasures,

but the ones that appeared at the auction were definitely not available on the market.

“Why don’t I see any other guests?” Serena was puzzled.

“They’re all in the other private rooms. The hall has thirty-two rooms in total, and they form a circle with

the stage in the middle.”

“But there’s no emcee on the stage, all the auctions are automated.”

“Do you know that each room has a large glass wall? That’s for a better view of the auction items.”

“You can clearly see outside, but you can’t see inside when you’re outside.”

Listening to her bestie’s endless chatter, Serena couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. If her five brothers

had been willing to take her here before, she could have seen so much more…

Inside private room number one, Carl stood next to Romeo and respectfully said, “Mr. McMillian, the

HeartEase Herb will appear as the finale of the

auction.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Mhm.” The man sitting on the sofa spoke in a low voice, exuding an air of nobility.

Heard that Heart Ease Herb works wonders for heart diseases, he was hoping to snag it at the auction,

then hand it over to the medical experts around him for further study.

“The auction has started.”

The floor in the center of the stage slowly parted, and an item for auction slowly rose.

An automated voiceover began to introduce the source and value of the auction item…

A huge electronic screen magnified the shape of the auction item, every detail, every part, could be

seen clearly.

This was a small bottle of Heart Revive, reportedly, for heart disease patients, it gives a refreshing and

comfortable feeling after taking it. When you’re fine, you can use it to brew soup. If a patient falls ill, it

can also be dissolved in water and taken, providing quick pain relief.

It won’t cause any side effects when mixed with any other medicine.

During the system’s explanation, the HeartRevive moved along the ground track, in front of the

electronic screen of each box, letting people see it clearly. “Bella, isn’t this the leftover material from

your HeartEase production?”

“Yeah.” Arabella did not hide it, honestly saying, “This is making full use of resources.”

Although its effect is not as good as HeartEase, at least it has some medicinal value, so no waste

here.
