Posted on December 18, 2023December 18, 2023 by admin

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

She purposely didn’t mention her first place win, feigning concern for Mirabella.

“We haven’t really taken you around since you got back, and you’ve been working hard. Let’s go out for a meal,”

Serena, seizing the opportunity, took Louisa and Kenneth’s arms and cooed, “Dad, Mom, what do you think?”

“I think it’s a good idea.” Louisa looked at Kenneth, who also nodded, and said, “Bella, what do you think?”

“Whatever is fine” Mirabella didn’t want to upset her parents. Seeing them cheerfully making reservations, she absentmindedly went upstairs, freshened up, and went to bed!

The next day, Romeo dropped her off at work. On the way, he sounded a bit upset upon hearing about the family dinner “Didn’t you promise to spend your free time with me?”

Mirabella hesitated. “I forgot.”

She genuinely hadn’t thought of him when she agreed.

“You’re not taking me to the family dinner?”

“Next time”

“Then you owe me double” Romeo held her hand tighter and said, “If you’re not having dinner with me, then let’s have lunch together.” “Alright”

After a day’s work, Mirabella arrived at The Happy Chef with Romeo, saying. “Okay, no need to pick me up later, I’ll go home with my parents”

“Call me when you get home.”

“Sure.”

Meanwhile.

It took Demetrius a lot of effort to richest person in Tranquil City!

* room at The Happy Chef. Even though it was the lowest tier, it wasn’t something just anyone could book, unless they were the

Mrs. Panter didn’t think much of Yolanda, who was raised by a cleaner and had an aura of poverty about her, even when dressed in designer clothes. The occasional glimpse of self–doubt and sensitivity in her eyes couldn’t be concealed

However, upon hearing that Yolanda won second place in a piano competition, Mrs. Panter’s attitude improved slightly. But when she heard Demetrius’s request, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, “Mr. Melton, I’m afraid we can’t help with this.”

“What?” Demetrius thought he’d heard wrong

Mrs. Panter said with superiority. “Those corporations have made it clear. Anyone who helps will meet the same fate.”

Mrs. Panter wouldn’t gamble everything the Panter family had for the girl her son liked and this impossible engagement!

Yolanda didn’t expect Mrs. Panter to refuse outright. Her hands clenched into fists under the table. This was blatant disrespect to their family!

Zachary also let out a low, “Mom!”

Zachary’s father quickly said. “Let’s think this through. Let’s eat first and talk later!”

“Right.” Demetrius got his message, poured a glass of wine to toast him, and said, “I almost forgot to thank you for helping to book a VIP room for Yoli’s grandma and asking the doctor to take extra care of her.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Panter said, “No, we didn’t. It’s really hard to book a VIP room at Hope Hospital. How could we possibly do that? We don’t have any connections there”

The Melton family was stunned. Who booked it? Who asked the doctor to take good care of the elderly woman?

Suddenly, Demetrius and Olga both remembered what Caden had said. Could it really be Mirabella?

No way?

On the other side.

After having dinner with her parents, Mirabella was about to leave when her phone buzzed. She had some business to take care of

“Dad, Mom, you guys go ahead. I’m going to use the restroom. I’ll be right there.”

“Take your time, no rush!” After Louisa left, she whispered to Edith, “You wait for her and leave with herf

“Alright.” Edith waited in the private room. After a while, she saw Mirabella coming out of the restroom. She went up and respectfully said, “Ms Bennett, the car is waiting for you outside!”

“Alright, let’s go.” Mirabella was replying to a message on her phone as she walked.

Just as they left the private room, a few people appeared in the corner. Edith quickly tugged at her sleeve and said, “Ms. Bennett, watch out!”

The people who came out were from the Panter family and the Melton family

Olga saw Mirabella coming out of the top–tier private room, and and when she saw the well dressed woman who called her “Ms. Bennett,” she was taken aback “Hold on.” Olga hadn’t quite digested the title, pointing at Mirabella, she asked Edith, “What did you just call her? Is she your young lady?”

“Who are you?” Edith was wary; these people obviously weren’t good news.

Why should it matter to them how she addressed Mirabella?

Yolanda, still in shock, forced a smile and explained, “She grew up with us.

“Oh, you’re Mirabella’s foster parents?”

Edith finally understood. She didn’t know how these people had bullied her young lady before, but politely said, “Our madam was just saying the other day, why didn’t you accept those gifts and all that cash?”

“What are you talking about?” Olga was stunned, thinking she’d misheard.

“It was the gifts the driver delivered on behalf of our master and madam! Those thirty shops are in the best locations downtown, and those thirty villas have the best views, not to mention the cash.”

The Melton family and the Panter family were dumbfounded. What was this woman talking about? Why didn’t they understand her?

“All those gifts in the boxes were just a token of appreciation from our master and madam! You declined them, you’re too kind!”

After hearing this, Olga was completely stunned!

Those few crappy gift boxes actually contained so many valuable things. Why didn’t the driver clanfy?

Wait, wasn’t Mirabella’s real family really poor?

Why did they sound richer than they actually were?

“Aren’t you guys from Willow Creek?”

“Willow Creek is the birthplace of our family’s matriarch, we’re now in,”

Seeing Edith about to continue, Mirabella interrupted indifferently. “Let’s go, we don’t owe them any explanations”

Edith glanced at Ms. Bennett’s expression, it seemed like she didn’t like them.

Did they not get along before?

Realizing this possibility, Edith’s attitude soured, and the followed Mirabella to leave,

“Wait, don’t leave

Olga wanted to catch up and clarify but saw Aiden, the driver who delivered gifts to them last time, personally opening the car door for Mirabella.

It was a stretch limo, British green in color, it made the news a few days ago, made exclusively for a tycoon by Rolls Royce!

There’s only one in the world!

Before they could see who else was in the car, the limo sped off, leaving the Melton and Panter families in shock

The woman’s clothes and shoes were all high–end

What kind of family could afford such a car?

Olga didn’t dare to think more, Demetrius’s expression was equally complex!

“You guys didn’t appreciate your daughter, Mirabella, you’ve really lost out now” Mrs. Panter coldly said, leaving with a smirk.

Tm really sorry, my wife’s not in a good mood, I need to go home and pacify her” Zachary’s father said, grabbing his son’s arm, “We’ll catch up next time, okay?”

The Meltons felt quite uncomfortable, mainly because of Mirabella. They didn’t care about Mrs. Panter’s attitude, they hurriedly made their excuses and went home In the limo, Louisa asked with concern, “Bella, are you not feeling well? Was the food not fresh?”

“Maybe my sister isn’t used to such expensive food, she should be fine after some time.”

Hearing Serena say this, Edith quickly explained, “Ma’am, it’s because we ran into Ms. Bennett’s adoptive parents, so we were delayed.”

“You ran into Demetrius and Olga?” Louisa was somewhat surprised.

Edith was equally surprised: “Ma’am, you know them?”

How did she even know their names?
