Chapter 1843


    Arabe had barely set foot back in her room as her phone buzzed with a call from Romeo.


    "What''s up?" Romeo hadn''t heard from his girl in ages.


    She recounted the day''s events as she told him, "Now, I''m working on some audio editing."


    "Alright, you carry on," Romeo said, reluctant to interrupt her flow. "I''ll call you backter."


    "OK."


    After she hung up, Romeo''s gaze lingered on the screen.


    His grandparents and parents had sent him numerous messages, incessantly asking if he had invited


    Be over for the McMillian family''s dinner, whether Be had epted, whether she had any other


    holiday ns, whether they could take Be on a trip abroad, what to get for her gift, and what she''d


    been intotely.


    But they hadn’t received any replies from Romeo. And Phillip was the first to call.


    "What on earth are you busy with?" Philip couldn’t wait to see Arabe!


    "I''ll ask Be once she''s done," Romeo replied.


    As soon as Phillip heard Be was busy, he said, "The New Year is just around the corner, and the


    sweet girl is still swamped? Is it work-rted? And you, as her fiancé, can''t even help her out and just


    waited around! What about all the effort the McMillian family has put into training you over the years?


    You can''t even take some of her workload? That''s not what I''d call apetent fiancé!"


    Romeo was speechless.


    "It’s already sote in this month! And she''s so young to be carrying such heavy burdens," Phillip


    sighed, feeling sorry for her. "We can''t just tell her to drop everything and live a life of leisure or she


    would find life meaningless. How can we get her to take a break, to live for herself?"


    If she were willing to live it up and spend money without a care, Romeo would be thrilled.


    But he knew Be''s nature; she would never stop on her own.


    "She knows her limits. Once she''s done, I''ll talk to her."

    "Just remind her not to overwork, to stay hydrated, and to have someone bring her some fruit or


    something. Don''t let her wear herself out! The New Year is almost here."


    Phillip went on with his advice and before hanging up, he sighed to his wife, "The girl''s still busy,


    perhaps we should encourage our contacts to ce somerger orders after the holidays, let her earn


    a bit more, a bit faster."


    Perhaps then, Be would hit her target and take a breathe?


    Even a few days'' rest would be something!


    Romeo was about to tell the old man not to interfere with Be''s work when the line went dead, leaving


    only the dial tone.


    After finishing her audio work, Arabe barely had a moment to herself before she heard an urgent


    knocking at her door.


    "Ms. Be, the old master fainted from anger upon hearing about Serena''s actions..."


    Arabe opened the door, confused. She thought her grandfather had known about Serena''s misdeeds


    days ago, why would he suddenly pass out now?


    "It''s Bernard and Cornelia, they''ve arrived,” said the breathless servant.


    Arabe had an inkling of what was happening and hastened downstairs.


    The servant followed. Still panting, she added, "The old master and his wife have been here over an


    hour. Chasel and Sean said you were upstairs dealing with things, so we didn''t call you. They wanted


    to wait until you were done to invite you down."


    But they hadn''t anticipated that the old couple would react so strongly upon hearing Serena''s misdeeds


    —Bernard with fainting due to anger, and Cornelia with ongoing silent tears.
