The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode

Chapter 1357

“Eunice, you're a sharp cookie, and I’m not one for beating around the bush. We're all family here, and

you don't want to see our clan fall apart, do you? Darren's sick as a dog, and he just can't handle any

more bad news."

"So, what's your big plan, Arlen?" Eunice asked coolly.

"Like I said, you're smart. You know what I'm getting at, and what I want you to do. You know me,

Eunice, I've got no beef with you."

Arlen was probably scared to death Eunice was recording the call, because he didn't say anything too

incriminating.

Eunice chuckled, "Are you asking me to keep mum? But you know I never enter a losing deal."

The moment Arlen heard that, he sensed there was room to negotiate and quickly said, "Name your

price, anything within my power, I'll give it to you."

“Anything you can offer, Dad and Bard can give me too. Your usual trinkets hold no allure for me."

Arlen's face soured, "Then what do you want?"

"There is one thing Dad and Bard can't give me.’ Eunice's smile grew even brighter, “It's about time for

Calvin to hang up his boots, so let's cut to the chase. I want all of your shares, and Calvin, Bess, and

Teresa's shares, and I want you all to announce your retirement from the company. From here on out,

you won't get a single cent of the dividends."

Arlen was flabbergasted at her audacity to make such demands!

"Think it over with them, Arlen. Don't say I didn't give you a fair chance. You've got one hour.” With that,

Eunice hung up the phone.

"Hello? Hello?" Arlen couldn't believe what he had just heard. It took him a second to snap back to

reality, shaking with rage. That cunning fox was totally exploiting the situation!

After Eunice put away her phone, she turned to Arabella with a smile, “Bella, what do you reckon? Will

they bite?"

“Aunt Eunice, isn't it obvious you know they won't agree?"

Eunice smirked, "Explain."

“They've been drooling over Grandpa and Uncle Bard's shares from the get-go, which means they're

hungry for more. What they have now just doesn't cut it. But the moment you open your mouth, you're

basically leaving them high and dry. How could they possibly agree?"

Arabella paused, then added, "You intentionally told them Grandpa's in surgery and Uncle Bard's busy

discussing his condition with Mr. Chapman. They definitely know who Mr. Chapman is, so they can

guess which hospital Grandpa's in. They'll assume everyone's too busy to rally the troops, making it

their perfect opportunity to strike."

Not just Eunice, but Bard and Darren too, looked at Arabella with admiration and agreement, waiting for

her to continue.

“By demanding the moon and giving them just an hour to think, aren't you forcing their hand to make a

move within that hour?"

"Dad, smart granddaughter, huh?" Eunice said with a laugh, glancing at Darren, “Sharp as a tack,

right?"

“Sharp, very sharp." Darren nodded with a beaming smile, "A clever kid"

From the start, Eunice had no intention of playing ball with Arlen and his crew. She was just fanning the

flames of their ‘rebellion’.

And sure enough, after hearing Arlen's message, Calvin, who had been on the fence, lost his cool

completely, slamming his fist down on the table in fury!

That little upstart had ambitions too big for her boots. It was time to cut her down to size.

"Get the men ready. We move on my command tonight!" A glint of ruthless determination flashed in

Calvin's eyes.
