Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
This girl was breathtakingly beautiful, and so refined.
There was an air of grace and elegance about her that was utterly captivating.
Mirabella noticed someone behind her and turned to see the friendly servant with short hair.
“Ms. Bella, you are really beautiful.” The servant, May, put down the toiletries and said cheerfully, “I was thrilled to hear you are Mr. Sampson’s niece. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“May.” Mirabella repeated her name and said softly, “Thank you.”
“You’re too kind, Ms. Bella. From the moment I saw you, I really liked you! Your medical skills are amazing, and you’re so beautiful, not like any other rich girls.”With that, May couldn’t help but ask, “Can I take a picture with you?”
Mirabella smiled and nodded.
Delighted, May quickly took out her phone, “Don’t worry, I have lots of beauty apps.”
Of course, with Mirabella’s natural beauty, she didn’t need any digital enhancement.
But out of courtesy, May still opened a beautifying camera app and took a couple of selfies with Mirabella.
In the photos, Mirabella was stunning. Her features were flawless, and her gentle smile was captivating.
Standing next to her, May was smiling radiantly.
“Ms. Bella, can I add you on WhatsApp? Can I post our selfie on Facebook?” May asked, hastily adding, “It’s okay if you don’t want me to.”
“Go ahead” Bella said, handing over her business card for May to scan, asking softly, “How long have you been here?”
“I was taken in by Mr. Sampson when I was a child. I’ve been here for eighteen years,” May replied, unable to resist asking, “Ms. Bella, you’re younger than me, aren’t you?”
“I’m eighteen too.”
“So, we’re the same age.”
May took a shine to her and they chatted for a while before May left.
Downstairs, several servants busied themselves, gossiping about the newly arrived Ms. Bella.
“Where did Mr. Sampson get a niece from out of the blue? Is she a blood relative?”
“What about Serena?”
“Didn’t you notice? Ms. Bella looks a lot like Mrs. Collins. She must be her daughter. Serena, on the other hand, seems more like the outsider in this family.”
“You think Serena might be the one who was switched at birth? Ms. Bella fits in more with Mr.
Sampson’s family.”
“Let’s not discuss Mr. Sampson’s family matters.”The servants resumed their duties. After a while, someone spoke up, “Don’t you find Ms. Bella impressive? Even Dr. Mark was helpless with the sickness. Ms. Bella said it wasn’t a big deal and even prescribed some medicine”
“Dr. Mark said Ms. Bella is his teacher. This means her medical skills are superior to his.”
“with her wealthy background, Ms. Bella must have been nurtured for her medical talents from a young age.”
“The rich have it so good. They can make their kids so excellent.”
“I find Ms. Bella quite nice. She doesn’t put on airs.”
“Yeah, she may not talk much, but she’s friendly to everyone. Unlike Serena, who appears gentle and generous, but actually…”
“Enough talk.”
The servants quieted down and returned to their work.
Not long after, Bella saw May’s post on Facebook.
[Shamelessly asked my lady for a couple of selfies! I really like her so much. She’s beautiful and kind_]
She also posted the two selfies.
Bella was about to like the post when her phone rang. It was one of her subordinates reporting on their work.
On the other side, Serena froze when she saw May’s Facebook post, chills running down her spine.May was an orphan that her uncle had taken in. She had grown up in her uncle’s house along with several other orphans who were also servants.
Her uncle had paid for their education and they voluntarily worked in his house. When May found out about the severity of Old Mrs. Griffith’s illness, she insisted on staying by her side.
Serena had May’s Facebook because she was a “favorite” of her uncle’s, and she could occasionally get information about her uncle from her.
But now, how come Bella was with her uncle and had even won over May?
Had her parents secretly met with her uncle and grandmother when they suddenly went abroad yesterday, taking Bella with them?
Serena clenched her fists in anger. If her parents had told her about this openly, she wouldn’t have been so upset and jealous.
But they were always sneaky, as if they were intentionally hiding things from her.
If she hadn’t seen May’s Facebook post, she would still be in the dark.
After a moment of frustration, Serena finally sent a WhatsApp message to Louisa.
[Mom, when are you and Dad coming back? Christmas is the day after tomorrow. I want to come home and spend it with you.]
Louisa quickly replied, [Did Christmas sneak up on us that fast? Your father and I are visiting your grandmother overseas, So we might not be back in time. You can hang out with your friends at school or spend the holiday with Martin, it’s your first Christmas together after all. Enjoy!) Serena bit her lip, as expected, her mother didn’t mention Mirabella. It was Mirabella who went to visit their grandmother and uncle with their parents!
Was it possible that everyone was going to leave her behind this Christmas and spend it with Mirabella?
With that thought, Serena was fuming!
(Mom, how is Grandma? Is she feeling better?] Serena began to play the emotional card, [I miss her so much, if only she wasn’t so far away, I would love to visit her.]
If her mother still cared about her, she would surely ask if Serena wanted to join them for the holidays.
But Louisa simply replied with a hearty laugh, [Don’t worry about your grandma, she’ll be better soon.
Once she’s recovered, we’ll all get together and make her happy]
Tears welled up in Serena’s eyes, [I have to go to class now.]
She thought Louisa would sense her mood, but all she got was a simple emoji.
Serena was even more upset, her mother was clearly showing favoritism. She couldn’t sit idly by!She had to think of a plan.
On the other hand, when Sampson heard about his niece’s grievances at the Melton family, he was both heartbroken and upset.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the two heartless individuals from the Melton family were already in jail, he wouldn’t let them off so easily.
The only thing he was unsure of was what to give his niece as a gift on their first meeting.
His sister had told him that Bella was great at running the company. The previous issues with the fashion company under his brother-in-law’s name were all resolved thanks to Bella.
He had thought that his brother-in-law hired a competent person to turn the company around.
He never imagined that all of this was the doing of a seventeen-eighteen-year-old girl.
Sampson thought for a moment, then made another call.
Mirabella was resting in her room when she heard May knocking on the door.
“Ms. Bella, are you asleep? Mr. Sampson has something to discuss with you.”
Mirabella opened the door, and May immediately flashed a radiant smile, “Mr. Sampson is in the study on the second floor, please follow me.”
Mirabella found May’s smile very infectious. When she smiled, it seemed like the whole world lit up.
In the study, besides Sampson, there was also a man in a suit.
Mirabella was somewhat surprised.“Mirabella.” Sampson got up from his seat, came over to Mirabella, and introduced the man to her, ‘Let me introduce you, this is my niece Mirabella.”
“Ms. Bella has inherited all the best traits of the Collins and the Griffith families. Beautiful and outstanding, simply enchanting.” The man quickly bowed, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Bella, just call me Robin.”
“Hello.” Mirabella greeted politely.
“Robin helps me manage several of my casinos.” Sampson said, then patted Mirabella’s shoulder, “From now on, she will be the boss of all my casinos.”
Upon hearing this, Mirabella was taken aback. Was he planning to give her all his properties?
“Yes, Ms. Bella. I will follow your orders from now on.” Robin was extremely respectful towards her.
“Today is just for you to meet her. You can leave now, Bella and I have some things to discuss,’
Sampson told Robin.
Once Robin had left, Sampson produced a contract and said gently, “This is your share of the company from me.
