Chapter 21
The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode
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, âIf I find out that the fire was intentionally set to make your life difficult at the Murphy family, I
wonât let them off easily.â
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, âMom, Iâm going out for a bit.â
Louisa wanted to ask where her daughter was going, who she was meeting, and what she was doing,
but she didnât want to disturb her, so she just smiled and asked, âShould I have Aiden drive you?â
âMom,â Serena couldnât help but speak up, âI just told Aiden that Iâm going somewhere, meeting a
friend laterâ¦â
Louisa furrowed her brow, âCan Pete drive you then?â
âPete has a habit of taking a nap around this time. If I wake him up now, Iâm afraid he wonât be in a
good mental state, and it wonât be safe for him to driveâ¦â Serena said and then pretended to
understand as she glanced at Arabella, âBella, if you have something urgent, I can call my friend and
cancel, and then Aiden can accompany you.â
âNo need, I can drive.â
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, âAre there any other cars at home?â
Louisa replied, âOf course we have other cars! Let the driver take you to the garage, and you can
choose whichever car you like to drive!â
Just pick one?
Arabella was also surprised.
Louisa lightly pressed the intercom on the wall and directly connected to the driver, âAiden, come here
and take Bella to the garage.â
The garage had three floors!
There were various supercars, limited edition sedans, luxury RVs⦠all in different colors.
âWhat does our family do?â Arabella was shocked by the luxury cars in front of her and finally asked.
âMiss Arabella, donât you know?â 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 wouldnât
know the richest person in the country?
âThe Master has been the wealthiest man in the countryâ¦â
Ranked first on the national rich list for twelve consecutive years!
âSince the Master retired last year and the Young Master took over the group, he has become the
wealthiest man in the country.â
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 unemployedâ¦
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, Kellyâs eyes nearly popped out. She stared at Arabellaâs luxury
car for several seconds, then asked incredulously, âThis is your familyâs car?â
Although Kelly knew Arabella lived in the Reflections Villa in Summerfield, this kind of expensive car
wasnât something an average rich person could
ownâ¦
Kelly seemed to be greatly shocked, âWhich family is your biological father from?â
âThe Collins family.â
âKenneth Collins?â Kellyâs eyes widened in surprise.
âYou know him?â
âWho wouldnât know the countryâs richest man? Youâre⦠youâre damn lucky, Kelly exclaimed, âThe
Murphys must be regretting it now.â
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 childâs 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 wouldnât see other guests, and even after finishing, they wouldnât 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 familyâs 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 Serenaâs 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.
âBrooklyn, how did you know about this place?â
Serena had told her bestie Brooklyn Reed at noon that she didnât know what gift to give to the sick
Phillip, so Brooklyn suggested they come here to look.
âIâve 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, heâll definitely be very happy.â
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.
âWhy donât I see any other guests?â Serena was puzzled.
âTheyâre 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.â
âBut thereâs no emcee on the stage, all the auctions are automated.â
âDo you know that each room has a large glass wall? Thatâs for a better view of the auction items.â
âYou can clearly see outside, but you canât see inside when youâre outside.â
Listening to her bestieâs endless chatter, Serena couldnât help but feel a bit envious. If her five brothers
had been willing to take her here before, she could have seen so much moreâ¦
Inside private room number one, Carl stood next to Romeo and respectfully said, âMr. McMillian, the
HeartEase Herb will appear as the finale of the
auction.â
âMhm.â 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.
âThe auction has started.â
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 itemâ¦
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 youâre 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 wonât cause any side effects when mixed with any other medicine.
During the systemâs explanation, the HeartRevive moved along the ground track, in front of the
electronic screen of each box, letting people see it clearly. âBella, isnât this the leftover material from
your HeartEase production?â
âYeah.â Arabella did not hide it, honestly saying, âThis is making full use of resources.â
Although its effect is not as good as HeartEase, at least it has some medicinal value, so no waste
here.
