The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 608

Mr. Eugene was totally nuts about chess.

He paid a hefty price for this chess set and even splurged on a fancy box to store it in!

How did this box end up in Arabella's hands? Could it be the real deal inside?

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Arabella handed the gift box to Shirley, smiling, "I planned to bring you this chess set next time but didn't expect this twist. So, I'm gifting it to you now. Hope you like it."

Arabella's gesture took aback Shirley. She had planned to gift her this chess set all along.

Her face lit up with joy, and she asked Phillip to open it. The chess set and board inside were even more uniform and beautiful.

"How can this be?" Jessamyn said, surprised, "How can there be two identical chess sets?"

Arabella's chess set, in terms of color and workmanship, was no less than Enid's. Were fakes nowadays really this convincing?

Suri also couldn't believe her eyes. In this chess set of Arabella's, there wasn't a single flaw.

Mr. Winters also looked a bit off. He didn't expect the chess set in Arabella's hands to be this convincing.

"My chess set was bought from the granddaughter of the previous collector, and there's no way it's fake! Where did you get yours?"

Arabella looked up, her eyes clear, and said lightly, "Mr. Eugene doesn't have a granddaughter."

This claim took everyone by surprise!

Everyone knew that Mr. Eugene had a granddaughter, but he was very private, so hardly anyone had seen her.

Arabella insisted, "You've been duped."

Enid clenched her fists, "You're talking nonsense! I have the contact of Mr. Eugene’s granddaughter! I can see her on Facebook! There are lots of pictures of her with Mr. Eugene!"

Some pictures were even taken in Mr. Eugene's yard. If she wasn't his granddaughter, how could she appear in his house in her pajamas, taking affectionate pictures with him?!

"The person you know is definitely not Mr. Eugene's granddaughter. You've been fooled."
