Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Mirabella mentioned earlier that Carol didn’t come to Lidaria.There’s no point in us staying here. We should pack up and leave with them,’ Taylor discussed with her husband.
She was wary of those people. After all, they were ruthless and skilled.
Logan nodded, and they both went to pack.
Mirabella took out her phone again, pulled up Jerry’s WhatsApp she had added earlier, and asked him to book a room at a hotel owned by McMllian Corporation. It was relatively safer than this place.
“Bella, I don’t know how to thank you.”
With the investigation reaching that point, his sister was the unsung hero, but Clark was also worried about bringing danger upon her.
“I’m just looking for my sister-in-law. It’s my duty.”
Carol was a part of that family. It was her responsibility to find her if she was missing.
“Aren’t you worried that you might not get along with your future sister-in-law?”
After all, Mirabella hadn’t met Carol yet and didn’t know what kind of person she was.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re happy with her.”
Mirabella wasn’t one for sweet talk, but if Clark had chosen Carol, her character obviously couldn’t be too bad. So, she wasn’t worried about it.
Even if both she and Carol were aloof and didn’t have much to talk about, if Clark was happy, that was enough.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the bedroom, and Taylor instinctively screamed, “Mirabella!”Realizing something was wrong, Mirabella exchanged a glance with Clark and immediately rushed into the room.
Inside, a masked man in black was covering Taylor’s mouth. Logan was struggling with another black-
clad man.
Seeing that, Mirabella tried to kick the man in black by Mr. Earwood aside. The man in black knew that she was no ordinary girl. He dodged her kick, not wanting to waste time with Mr. Earwood and focused on dealing with Mirabella.
Clark went to rescue Mrs. Earwood. As he struggled with the man in black, Taylor was trembling with fear.
Logan told Taylor to hide by the nightstand, grabbed the lamp on it, and smashed it toward the man in black!
The man in black noticed the impending danger and swiftly evaded, barely missing Clark’s head with a table lamp. Fortunately, Mirabella managed to kick it aside.
More men in black poured into the first floor. Mirabella turned to Logan behind her, “You all escape through the window. I’ve arranged for Jerry to meet you outside. Clark, use my phone to call Jerry.
With that, she threw her phone to Clark, bolted the door, and turned her steely gaze to the dozen or so men in black.
“Who are you, and why are you meddling?” The leader of the men in black was bristling with murderous intent, his piercing eyes radiating terrifying intimidation.
“Your worst nightmare,’ Mirabella retorted as she was in no mood for small talk.
Clark had no clue about his sister’s phone password. Fortunately, he was a hacker. After a bit of effort, he managed to crack it, only to find out it was simply 123456.
He almost shed a tear at the simplicity. After calling Jerry, he helped the two elders climb out the window, leave through the yard, and arrive at the entrance just as Jerry’s car pulled up.
“Don’t worry. Jerry will take you to a safe place; He had to go back to help Mirabella. He couldn’t let her face that danger all alone.
“My ba..” Taylor whimpered, “It has the scarf Carol knitted for me, and the necklace she bought me with her first paycheck.”
Even though they were not valuable, they meant the world to her. It was all she had left to remember her by.”Don’t worry, I’ll get your bag,’ Clark assured her as more men in black approached. He quickly closed the car door and prepared to face them alone.
“Stay safe, Clark.” Taylor banged on the car window, terrified as she saw Clark being surrounded.
Logan didn’t expect things to get that complicated and dangerous, “Stop the car.
Jerry thought he heard wrong.
“I can’t leave those kids alone in this danger. Stop the car; Logan insisted, feeling that he needed to help them, “Those people are after us. We can’t leave those kids to face them all by themselves!”
Wasn’t that just sending the kids to their deaths?
But Jerry hesitated, eventually saying, “Um. Mr. Logan, even a hundred of you wouldn’t stand a chance against Ms. Bella. If she can’t handle them, you won’t be of much help.”
It would be a sure death.
He was taken aback by that comment.
A hundred of him!
Logan and Taylor were stunned. That girl, could she really take on a hundred men?
Looking at Bella, who was always so cold, quiet, and well-behaved.
Could she really fight all those men?
“Who are you?” Taylor asked Jerry, who was driving, “Where are you taking us?””Don’t worry, Ms. Bella and Clark will meet us soon; Jerry reassured them. While waiting for the traffic lights, he reported the situation to Carl.
The gist was, when his car left the apartment, the men swarmed out. Some of them probably saw his license plate, so he needed reinforcements, or else they might fall in danger.
Logan and Taylor were still puzzled.
What did he mean by that?
After receiving the news, Carl ordered his subordinates to rush to the apartment to help Ms. Bella.
Meanwhile, Mirabella and Clark had already taken down the men in the apartment with relative ease.
Mirabella pinned one of the men under her foot, “Spill it.”
The anonymous figure in black was ready to bite his own tongue off but Mirabella, with a casual flick of her wrist, sprinkled a white powder that filled the room.
One by one, several people dropped to the floor unconscious.
By the time Romeo’s men arrived at that place, the room was littered with bodies, more than a dozen of them sprawled in every direction.
Their masks had already been removed, revealing unfamiliar faces, and there were no tattoos or markings on their bodies.
“The rest is for you to deal with.”
Mirabella knew that those men were notoriously tight-lipped, and it would take days, if not weeks, to extract any useful information from them.
“Just be careful not to attract attention.”
“Yes, Ms. Bella. We will take care of it from here on.”
The lead bodyguard watched Mirabella’s retreating figure, pulling out his phone, intending to sneak a picture of Mirabella.
But Mirabella noticed it, turning back to ask, “What are you doing?”
Startled, the bodyguard’s hand trembled, “I was taking a picture for Mr. McMillian to prove that Ms.
Bella is safe.”God, Ms. Bella’s aura was intimidating. Even after years of navigating through the underworld, he found himself a bit unsettled.
Clark was also stunned. He thought the man had taken a liking to his sister and wanted to sneak a picture of her as a memento, but he didn’t expect that it was Romeo’s idea.
Mirabella was likewise at a loss for words. Before she left that place, she instructed, “Clean up this mess as soon as possible.”
“Yes!” The man blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Clark picked up a bag from the ground, opened it, and found a scarf and some other personal items.
It must be the bag Mrs. Earwood had mentioned earlier.
A car was waiting outside to take them to meet up with Jerry.
As soon as Mirabella got into the car, she asked, “Clark, any new discoveries?”
After they had taken down those men, they confiscated their phones and discovered their conversation was coded with special terms. There was even a picture of Mirabella, apparently, they were planning to capture her.
The picture was a screenshot from a surveillance video. Clark knew that his sister was being targeted and the situation was very dangerous.
He had tried to decipher the codes in the room but didn’t find anything new.
“Once I decode these messages, I’ll try to trace them remotely and see if we can find any leads;’ Clark said.Mirabella leaned back, exuding the aura of a boss, “If that doesn’t work, we’ll wait for the next batch to come, and I’ll pretend to be overwhelmed and let them take me.”
In that way, they could locate their hideout, find out what kind of organization they were.
And even uncover the truth about Carol’s past in the process.
“No, I won’t let you take that risk!” Clark immediately rejected the idea, “If anyone’s going there, it’s going to be me!”
“Do you think you can get away?” Mirabella raised an eyebrow.
Clark was at a loss for words. He knew that those men were skilled fighters. If it wasn’t for Mirabella, he would have had a hard time facing them alone.
“Anyway, this is not open for discussion. I won’t cooperate with you on this, nor will I allow you to take the risk.” Clark was unwilling to let his sister go on a dangerous mission alone.
