The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1196

"Yes, yes, indeed, Myrna was out of line. She just got home and I gave her a good scolding. She knows she messed up now, causing all that ruckus at the McMllian Corporation, disturbing all the security officers, and wrecking Romeo's office."

Jennifer dismissively stated, "Well, that's not the issue. What bothers me is how Myrna kept accusing my daughter-in-law of being a thief, tarnishing her with allegations of theft. What would the Collins family think? They are wealthy and influential. Would they need to resort to theft?"

"Yes, yes, it's all Myrna's nonsense. I'm here to apologize. That girl's been spoiled since she was little."

Adrian was about to express his apology, but Jennifer cut him off with her leisurely voice.

"We, the McMillian family, don't need your apologies. I heard from others that when Myrna was apologizing to my daughter-in-law, she glared at her, as if warning her. My daughter-in-law is innocent. She's never been through anything like this. Look at the mess that has been caused now."

"That damned girl. I'll discipline her later and bring Myrna to the Collins family to apologize to Ms. Collins."

Adrian hadn't expected his daughter to be so reckless and foolish, nearly ruining the relationship between the two families. He quickly tried to make amends.

"Adrian, you know how much the Collins family spoils their daughter. If you show up with Myrna, and Kenneth and Louisa find out that someone has been bullying their darling daughter behind their backs. You know the consequences as well as I do."

"Yes, yes, this was all Myrna's fault. I feel guilty too. How about this, is Ms. Collins still at McMillian Corporation? I'll bring Myrna over this afternoon to apologize to Ms. Collins in person."

"No need. My daughter-in-law is still shocked." Jennifer said, her voice casual. "I'm going to comfort her now. Goodbye."

After hanging up, Jennifer broke into a smile, confident and triumphant. "Let them stew in their panic for a few days, then we'll deal with them properly. Bella, eat, darling. The food's getting cold. Why don't you try the cafeteria's food?"

The tone she used when talking to Adrian was vastly different from how she addressed Arabella.
