Chapter 1412

The person who got under her skin the most was May!

Just moments ago, she had offered May a KCY bracelet, but May had barely acknowledged the gift,

keeping her at arm's length. Yet, the moment Arabella walked in, May's smile blossomed like a sunlit

rose.

“Granny, it's my turn now, I've missed Miss Bella so much, I want a hug too!"

Belinda chimed in with a warm smile, “May has been talking about you the whole way!"

“Miss Bella, I really missed you!” May exclaimed, embracing Arabella joyfully.

“I've been following your instructions to the letter, making sure Madam takes her medicine, taking her

out to bask in the sunshine, breathing in the fresh air"

“May treats your words like gospel,” Belinda laughed. “Miss Bella wouldn't like this; or ‘Miss Bella

wouldn't approve of that’ — it's become her mantra.

She's always going on about what you would think"

Arabella couldn't help but laugh.

“Miss Bella, I've been using the skincare products you gave me every day.

Don't you think my skin looks better than before?"

On hearing this, Serena could see right through Arabella's schemes. She was like a sly fox, buttering

up the help behind their backs!

How utterly devious!

“Your skin was never bad, May. You were just using the wrong products before. It’s looking much better

now,’ Arabella assessed, noting May's complexion that was now porcelain-smooth, like a doll's.

May was over the moon. Every day she looked in the mirror, she noticed her skin growing fairer and

silkier.

“Miss Bella, the cream you made is like magic!"

“Bella, when can you send Granny a couple of those bottles? Preferably the wrinkle-reducing kind"

Before Betinda could finish, Darren chimed in, “And send a couple for me too.

I want to look as young as I did back in the day, make your Granny fall in love all over again!"

Arabella replied with a smile, “I'll see to it right away."

Serena, watching them all get along so famously, suddenly stepped forward, pushing May aside with a

honeyed smile. “Bella, I want some of that skincare too."

In front of her grandparents, there was no way Arabella would dare to refuse her!

But to her surprise, Arabella simply glanced at her coolly and said, “Finish what you have first, then

we'll talk."

May, with perfect timing, added, “Serena's got such an enviable stash of luxury skincare products."

“You have plenty already,’ Belinda scolded gently, unable to suppress a laugh.

“Use those up first."

Serena felt a tinge of embarrassment, not expecting the elders to only think of themselves, completely

disregarding her.

At that moment, a servant hurried over. “Miss Bella, the madam is looking for you."

“Alright,” Arabella responded to the elders. “I'll be back soon"

“Bella, after your aunt is done with her business, could you ask her to come see me? It's been ages

since I last saw her. I do miss her so"

“Of course."

Arabella followed the servant down to the basement level. As she entered, the scent of iron and salt hit

her nostrils. Before her stretched a dim corridor, flanked on either side by what could only be described

as ‘cells’ Some held captives, others stood empty.

At the very end of the hall, Eunice commanded the space with an aura of sheer power, lashing a man

with a short whip mercilessly.

The man was covered in wounds, yet none of the crimson stains seemed to touch Eunice.

At that moment, Eunice appeared both ruthless and imperious, a force to be reckoned with.
