Everyone in the room was so stunned they could hardly speak.
Arabella was both Queena and the violin virtuoso Jamie Noelle?
Who on earth was this celestial being?
âTodayâs Bellaâs homecoming feast, and you old coots just have to vie for her attention, huh? Sheâs better off with me. My cooking skillsâif I pass them on to her, she could whip up delicious meals for herself every day! Now that's what I call a serious lifestyle upgrade!â
Uriahâs declaration earned an eye roll from Regan. âThe stuff Bella makes is leagues tastier than your grub. Besides, you think Romeo would let her step into the kitchen? The girl's got top-notch chefs at her beck and call.â
âThink a bunch of chefs can hold a candle to me?â Uriah huffed, his pride bruised. After all, he was a maestro in the kitchen!
If Arabella were to inherit his culinary mantle, both her cooking prowess and her agility would skyrocket her standard of living!
âEnough, enough, no more squabbling. Bellaâs the rightful heir to my legacy,â Thomas interjected to mediate.
âAnd what? Spend her days tinkering with your gadgets and racing cars? Or turn into a hacker?â
Reganâs comment ruffled Thomasâs feathers. âRacing cars is a stress-buster! Itâs super cool for a girl to drive a race car. Just ask the live stream viewers. And what's wrong with hacking? Fancy hacking any computer on a whim.â
âZip it, will you? Some viewers are still kids, donât lead them astray! And cool? How is it cool to put a girl in danger by racing cars? Ask the viewers if theyâd want such a sweet, smart, and sensible young lady risking her neck.â
âAlright, alright, I canât win with you guys. Bellaââ Thomas called Arabella over, playing the victim, âTheyâre picking on me!â
âOh come on, you old fox, playing the sympathy card in front of Bella?â
âBella, did you hear that? He insulted me. Ever since you returned to the Collins family, theyâve been bullying me in your absence!â
Arabella watched them nearly ready to flip the table and bicker, a playful smirk on her lips. âAre we still eating, then?â
All the old men promptly responded, âYes.â
âThis is your homecoming party, after all. We should at least have one peaceful meal.â
âExactly, weâll finish every dish!â
âOh, spare me. Who was it just now clamoring for Bella to inherit his legacy? Youâre passing the buck so fast.â New chapter avаilable oÕ¸ Drаmаnovels.com âEnough, all of you.â
