Arabella furrowed her brows, feigning confusion. "Didn't you say it yourself? If it wasn't for your man bringing you here, you wouldn't even be able to show up at a place like this, would you? Someone of your background couldn't possibly be here otherwise." The wealthy young lady who had spoken before chimed in, backing up Arabella's snide remarks. "A country bumpkin like you, unless a rich man brought you in, how did you even get an invite from the Lancaster Group?" "Do you think wearing a knock-off designer dress makes you a princess?

How did you let yourself be taken in by an assistant?" Miranda knew that Arabella's public persona was that of a sweet, kind girl, with a slight princess complex now and then.
