Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Romeo fell silent. He initially wanted to refuse, but her last plea melted his resolve.
“I’ll be just fine. Besides, aren’t you sending someone to watch out for me?”
Romeo had no choice but to acquiesce, “Fine, you go ahead today, I’ll come find you tomorrow.”
Carl voiced his confusion, “Boss, how on earth are we supposed to finish all the work in Dawnstar today? Are you planning to have me work non-stop for 24 hours?! Is there no justice?! I’m not a machine!”
“You’d better keep your men well hidden.”
Romeo couldn’t help but give a little smile, “Will do.”
She had proven to be quite adept at detecting his surveillance. She always managed to sniff out whoever he assigned to watch her.
Reflections Villa.
Serena was surprised to see Clark returning with Mirabella. Had Clark gone out earlier just to meet up with Mirabella?
With that thought in mind, a feeling of unease began to stir within her.
Clark headed to the dressing room to grab a few changes of clothes, then knocked on Louisa’s door, mentioning that he and Bella were going on a trip abroad.”You finally got your head on straight!” Louisa exclaimed cheerfully, “I’m leaving Bella in your hands, Clark. Make sure to take good care of her. Stay at the best hotels, take her wherever she wants to go, buy her whatever she wants to eat. And especially remember to take care of her health as it’s getting cold, don’t let her catch a cold.”
Louisa, thinking that her son was taking Bella on a holiday, was both excited and incessant in her instructions.
All of them were thinking about how to take care of Bella.
“Alright, I’ve got it.”
Clark didn’t let on about the potential dangers of their trip, intentionally leading his mother to believe that they were merely going on a holiday.
He patiently waited for his mother to finish her instructions before leaving.
In the living room.
Seeing Clark with a suitcase, Serena couldn’t help but ask, “Clark, where are you going?”
“Got some business to attend to abroad; Clark patted her head lightly, “Next time, I’ll take you along.”
Serena wanted to probe further into where he was going and whether it was really work-related.
But seeing Mirabella descending the stairs and Clark moving towards her, she felt left out.
Noticing that Mirabella didn’t have any luggage with her, Clark couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Aren’t you bringing any luggage?”
“It’s already on the plane’ Mirabella whispered.Clark nodded and said, “Alright, let’s get going then.”
The plane was parked nearby at Reflections Villa. The siblings left together.
Serena was left confused. Clark said that he was going abroad, so why was he leaving with Mirabella?
“Serena; Martha rushed over to Serena’s side, whispering anxiously, “I overheard your mom on the phone with your dad. She said Clark is taking Ms. Bella to Iridia for a few days!”
“What did you say!”
“It’s true!”
Serena’s face turned pale. Her hands clenched into tight fists as she watched their retreating figures.
She couldn’t believe it. She had just requested Clark to take her to Iridia, but he told her that he was too busy.
And the next thing she knew, he was taking Mirabella abroad?!
She had wanted to take pictures with Clark, she had so much plans in mind.
But Clark had left her behind and was only taking Mirabella?!
How could Clark do that to her?!
Tears welled up in Serena’s eyes, filled with a blend of anger and heartbreak.
“Serena, as I’ve said before, they all have the Collins family blood running through their veins .”
Martha gazed in the direction where they had left, releasing a sigh.
“I never expected Clark to be so partial. Doesn’t he even fear the news reaching you and shattering your heart?”
“Or perhaps, he simply doesn’t care about your feelings. Whether you’re heartbroken or in distress, he’s indifferent. All he wants is to have fun with Mirabella, after all, she’s his biological sister .”
“Clark’s behavior is utterly outrageous! He’s even more biased than Hans and Chasel!”
“I’ve told you before, their words are nothing but deceit .”
Tears trickled down Serena’s cheeks as her mind replayed the joyful moments shared with Clark since their childhood.
“Serena, he’s not worth it, Martha said sympathetically, “Stop crying thinking about him.”
“How could Clark do this to me?” Serena wiped her tears, looking at the direction Clark had left, she uttered sorrowfully, “How could he! He always claimed that he treated me as his real sister, that he would cherish me for life, but it was all lies. They’ve all deceived me, treating me as a naive child.”
“Now you understand the importance of money, don’t you?Fortunately, you accepted the $3 million. Although the affection is gone, at least you still have money.
You felt guilty about Clark initially, but look, he doesn’t have the same emotions for you at all!”
Serena wiped her tears and ran back to her room, not wanting to listen to those disheartening words anymore.
Watching her retreating figure, Martha knew that that incident would serve as a lesson for Serena.
Painful as it was, it was better to have short-lived pain than prolonged suffering.
That family was only good at making money, talking about feelings was pointless!
Meanwhile.
Clark was staring at the luxurious private jet in front of him, completely dumbstruck.
That model was from two years ago, with only one in the world, purportedly purchased by a powerful magnate.
He never expected that this magnate would be his sister.
His sister’s financial capability far exceeded his expectations.
Looking at the jet worth a fortune, Clark was filled with mixed feelings. Did he give his sister too little pocket money?
Would someone who could afford such a jet feel that the pocket money he had provided was too stingy?!
“Clark, why aren’t you coming?” Mirabella looked at him, puzzled.
Clark climbed the jet stairs and curiously asked, “Did you buy this jet two years ago?””It wasn’t me who bought it; Mirabella truthfully said, “It was gifted by one of the grandfathers I told you about.”
A gift?!
Upon hearing that, Clark was taken aback. His own grandfather wasn’t even that generous. Who was that mysterious person?
Giving away jets worth hundreds of millions?!
That person must be doting on her to an unimaginable extent.
“They often give me gifts,’ Mirabella explained.
She owned over a hundred properties under her name alone, not to mention other commercial properties and shares.
However, most of those were real estate and since they were gifts from her grandfathers, she never had the heart to sell them even when she was in need of money.
The pocket money her grandfather gave her were used for investment. Every time she made a profit, she would buy gifts for her grandfathers under various pretexts.
Including this time she came home, the pocket money she received from her parents and brothers, she also invested that money, planning to give them a little surprise after making a small profit.
Once they were inside the plane, the lavish interior was a sight to behold, with attendants offering them coffee, pastries, and fruits.
“Clark, grab a bite first, then you can retire to the bedroom for a rest.”
There were four separate rooms on the plane. The master suite was hers, and of the three guest rooms, only one had been used before by the injured Jack. The other two remained totally untouched.
However, they were regularly cleaned and maintained, leaving them spotlessly neat.
“You don’t seem tired, Clark. But you, after staying up late last night, waking up early this morning, and conducting experiments for hours, should rest.”
Clark felt guilty, yet admired his sister, who was unlike any other rich young lady he knew, always committed to her business.
Most heiresses would be impeccably dressed, attending all sorts of parties, pampering themselves with spa treatments, and indulging in shopping sprees.
Compared to them, Bella’s life was more fulfilling and meaningful.
“Oh, I just remembered something,’ Mirabella said, sitting on the single-seater sofa, sipping on her lemon water, “I didn’t find anything related to you in Carol’s room.”
