HEIRESS REBORN: MARRYING HER EX-FIANCÉ-Chapter 60: Arabella vs Freya

’’The Kingston family....’’ Old madam Easmond mumbled then looked at her granddaughter with anticipating eyes. ’’Has the Young miss Kingston arrive?’’

Old madam Easmond has definitely heard of the prestigious Kingston family. Currently, the Young miss Kingston has taken over her late father who was the previous head of the family, and also the previous President of the top Kingston corporation.

The rumored lady was known for her reserved demeanor. Her last social event was said to be the first young miss Kingston’s 17th birthday banquet five years ago.

It would be beneficial if her granddaughter interacted more with the Young miss Kingston.

Old madam Easmond’s thoughts turned bitter when she suddenly recalled a member of her family who has a good relationship with the Young miss Kingston and more.

That step-grandson of hers....

He was friends with two prestigious powerhouses yet had not bothered to introduce her precious granddaughter to any of them.

Old madam Easmond did not understand why the reserved Young master Kratos and Young miss Kingston would rather relate with the good-for-nothing step grandson over own her genius granddaughter.

If her granddaughter had a friendly relationship with the two prestigious powerhouses, they would even be talks of engagement with Kratos family by now.

Old madam Easmond did not believe the rumors circulating around the Kingston family and Kratos family.

In her opinion, men love being in control, even over their wives. They love the feeling of being depended on by their women. Someone as authoritative and powerful as Young master Kratos would not like the Young miss Kingston who was equally the same.

Her precious granddaughter was raised from birth by her. Her Freya would definitely know how to keep the Young master Kratos more so than the Young miss Kingston.

’’Not exactly, grandmother.’’ Freya noted the flicker of disappointment on her grandmother’s face at her reply. She could already guess her grandmother’s thoughts about the young Miss Kingston.

Indeed, it would be beneficial if she had a friendly relationship with the rumored young lady.

’’I should go welcome the Eldest master Kingston and his family, grandmother.’’ Freya told the disappointed grandmother of hers.

’’Indeed, we should Freya.’’ Her mother chimed in, agreeing to her words with a smile. ’’We’ll return shortly, mother.’’

Together, they left under the old woman’s gaze for the Kingston family in the crowd of guests.

Meanwhile, Arabella was feeling overly conscious of the gazes on her body. They were akin to arrows piercing all sides of her from all directions.

Normally, she would have felt that she deserved all the attention from others. But now, Arabella just wanted to dig a hole in the corner of this banquet hall and bury herself inside the pit.

It also didn’t help that some young misses glanced at her and giggled as she passed by them.

All these was as a result of the retaliation from that orphaned cousin of hers!

How had cousin gotten those videos and pictures?

There was no use dwelling on it now. Her entire was boiling in rage for that cousin of hers! Because of the mess, her father had advised her to lay low for some time.

She, the Arabella Kingston, had to take a step back because of someone lower than her!

Even if she was unwilling, Arabella knew that deep down, her father was right. The social media couldn’t pay attention to her matter forever. As time passed, the scandal would be long forgotten and she would be her fans’ dear bella again.

Nevertheless, Arabella still could not take this laying down. Her reputation had suffered damage greatly. No matter what, there would still some fans who would remember the scandal in few years to come, and also that she had a cousin apparently better than her.

’’Sister bella, I didn’t expect you to come.’’ Arabella instinctively frowned at the sight of nemesis heading her way.

Freya Easmond.

Her longtime rival and nemesis!

Other than her orphaned cousin, Arabella particularly disliked Freya who has always been praised as one-on-a-lifetime genius.

’’Who’s your sister?’’ Arabella snorted with a ridicule. ’’It’s clear to everyone that we’re not blood-related.’’ In the presence of her nemesis, she did not bother to keep up the pretense.

No....Arabella wasn’t in the mood to keep up pretense in general. Since everyone in the banquet knew of her scandals, why bother to pretend with them?

All in all, they would only mock her privately, but would never speak their thoughts in her face.

She was still a Young miss from the Kingston family. They, on the other hand, were forever lower than her.

’’Even if we’re not family, it doesn’t change that we’re sisters of the same birth month.’’

Arabella’s eyes twitched at the statement from this smiling nemesis of hers.

’’It’s good to see you again, Uncle, Aunt, Brother Liam.’’ Freya shifted her greetings to Mark, Lucinda and Liam, who returned her greetings in smiles.

Mark particularly glanced at the rebellious daughter in warning. If he had known that she would be this rude towards the celebrant, he shouldn’t have bothered with her at all.

Arabella felt her father’s hard stare, but ignored him with silent snort. She did not bother with him and the pleading glances of her mother.

Frankly speaking, her father was at fault for everything that happened to her.

If he hadn’t interfered, perhaps her cousin wouldn’t have retaliated in such brutal manner.

Arabella wasn’t stupid. At the beginning, her cousin had not bothered with news and articles on social media. Why was it that when her father suddenly interfered that her cousin had decided to retaliate?

Arabella didn’t like the feeling that she was game between them. Like she had no power and control of her own actions.

Her father had used her scheme to keep her cousin in check. Her cousin had used both schemes to cause a big scandal for her.

She had suffered the brunt of it all, not her father!

Perhaps if he had not interfered from the beginning, her cousin might not have done anything.

Either way, Arabella desired to get her revenge against them.

Both her father and cousin.

Her father hated when she wasn’t obedient, so she would be rebellious and more like now. As for that orphaned cousin of hers, Arabella decided to bid her time.

Although she hated to admit, her cousin was much more powerful than her. This big scandal had opened her eyes to wide disparity between her powerless self and her powerful cousin.

She was merely a B-list actress whose career was now hanging by a thread, while her cousin was an influential president responsible for several bankruptcies of news agencies.

If she wanted to get her revenge, she needed to be on the same level as her cousin.

She must become a global recognized actress, and also strike an engagement with the Kratos family. Once she becomes the Madam Kratos, her cousin would curb that arrogance of hers and be respectful to her.

’’If only I have a big brother like you, Brother Liam.’’

Arabella snapped out her scheming thoughts and noticed how her nemesis and Liam were chatting in a friendly manner.

’’You’re so lucky, Sister bella.’’

Arabella felt a little better when she saw the envy in her nemesis’s gaze. Indeed, that’s how supposed to be—everyone should look at her in envy and awe.

Freya caught the glimpse of satisfaction and sneered in her heart.

No wonder the rumored Young miss Kingston had dealt with someone like Arabella so easily.

A brainless fool who only cared for herself.

Freya glanced at the side where her mother was speaking with the Eldest madam Kingston. The Eldest master Kingston had been pulled over by some of his acquaintances.

Seeing that her mother wasn’t done, Freya knew that she couldn’t disturb and had to keep entertaining the arrogant Arabella and a mere adopted son.

’’How are you holding up, Sister bella? I guess it isn’t easy to be an actress.’’ Her face showed some concerns.

A Young miss lowering to the career path of an actress.....Freya had always looked down more on Arabella for her career choice.

Even till now.

’’You!’’

’’Uncle has suggested for sister to have a short vacation.’’ Liam quickly interjected when he saw that Arabella couldn’t reign in her anger. ’’Most news on social media are easily trusted even when they were not accurate. I assume Young miss Easmond has encounter some fake news at times.’’

’...How meticulous.’ Freya’s perfect almost faltered at those words. Her gaze shifted to Liam who had spoken up for Arabella. It seemed she had underestimated him who had always smiled with her.

Since she inquired about Arabella’s failing career, he used the opportunity to clear the air and even used her name to affirm his words.

If she replied yes, the spectating guests would start to believe that the scandal online was perhaps fake and fabricated.

She would also be offending the President Kingston who was responsible for the scandal.

If she said no, she would offend Arabella and also shoot herself in the foot. She had called Arabella sister so intimately yet could not take side of her acclaimed sister.

What a tricky situation she had gotten herself into....by a mere adopted son nonetheless.

*murmur*

*murmur*

Another sudden burst in murmurs interrupted Freya who was about to give her response.
