The Princess and the Paupers - Season 4 Episode 14

She’s had her fair share of benefits over the past decade!

“Ms. Bella has a point, but some people just don’t know their place,” Edith said helplessly. “Over the past decade, everyone in the family has treated her like the apple of their eye, and that’s not an easy feeling to shake off.”

“I’m not trying to shake off anyone’s feelings. If her presence makes the family happy, I don’t mind. But if she continues to hurt the family, I think I won’t need to say anything. Someone will kick her out.”

So, from start to finish, Arabella didn’t give her the time of day.

Serena was just a clown. Although she caused a ruckus from time to time, she wasn’t worth Arabella’s personal attention.

“Ms. Bella, your perspective and your tolerance are admirable.”

“You don’t have to stand up for me either. When I can’t stand it anymore, I’ll handle it myself.” Arabella knew that Edith had been given the cold shoulder by Martha for not siding with Serena.

Edith hadn’t expected Arabella to notice this and gratefully said, “Yes.”

Although she agreed verbally, she definitely wouldn’t stand by if the other party went too far.

She wouldn’t allow anyone to badmouth Arabella!

“TII thank Hans again tomorrow.”

“Alright, I won’t keep you from your rest!”

After Edith left, Arabella gently touched the gift in front of her. Being loved by family felt so good.

The next morning.

Attlee was woken up by a frantic phone call.

“What, another processing partner wants to cancel our contract? What’s the situation this time? Just because Arabella’s company is more popular after the competition and offers better terms, they decided to cancel?”

After asking a few more questions, Attlee had no choice but to hang up.

Olga, who was also woken up by their conversation, sat up and asked anxiously, “What happened?”

“Those processing partners, they all say they want to cancel our contract and give the orders to Arabella’s company.”

These so–called processing partners were clothing companies that needed other companies to process their clothes after their own production.

Some needed to add a few more steps because they lacked the capacity.

Some needed to add labels, some needed quality inspection, and some needed to increase production.

Attlee’s company had already lost many big partners, and they barely kept going relying on these processing partners:

Now that even the processing partners were leaving, their company was really on the brink!

“Arabella’s side has lowered the price, saying they can reduce the processing fee by ten percent.“:

But that ten percent can bring a lot of profits.

Hearing Attlee say this, Olga immediately said, “Then we can also reduce the processing fee!”

Attlee shook his head and said, “If we reduce our income by another tenth, then we’re basically working for free! We’re mainly relying on this income now! Because the clothes we make ourselves can’t be sold at all!”
