Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
When Demetrius dropped that bombshell, Dean was taken aback. Was he Mirabella’s dad?
What the heck was going on?
Mirabella’s real dad was supposed to be Kenneth Collins!
Who was this guy?
He had the nerve to claim he was Mirabella’s father.
Without batting an eyelid, Mirabella headed toward the company. Demetrius quickly tried to stop her.
“Bella, I got you this chocolate cake on my way here. I bought it from that popular dessert shop that you probably know. I stood in line myself to buy it.”
Hearing Demetrius’s words, Dean was touched. He thought the people around Mirabella were really nice, always buying her expensive desserts and even queuing up to get them.
Just as he was about to say something nice, he heard Mirabella’s cold voice.
“I hate chocolate.”
Demetrius’s face froze. He quickly said, “I remembered you loved Chocolate. Did your taste change as you grew up?”
“Yolanda loves chocolate.” Mirabella said it coldly. “From childhood, I’ve always hated chocolate.”
Now, Demetrius was even more embarrassed. He quickly took out a wallet from his pocket and pulled out some big–bills. “Take this money and buy whatever you like. I’m sorry for my mistake.”
Mirabella coolly avoided his touch. “Spit it out.”
Dean was stunned. It seemed that Mirabella did not like this middle–aged man. She looked quite impatient.
“Bella, I saw you accompany Designer Molly to a competition last time and found out you work here. Today, I came to.” Before Demetrius could finish, he noticed Dean standing nearby and asked, “Bella, is this your colleague?”
“No, I’m Ms. Bennett’s assistant, Dean.”
Before Dean could finish his sentence, he received a cold warning glance from Mirabella, and he was so scared that he didn’t dare to continue.
Demetrius looked at Mirabella in surprise and said, “You’ve gone from being a small assistant to manager? You even have your own assistant?”
Dean was shocked.
Mirabella was silent.
“In that case, you should help me even more!” Demetrius put away his wallet, indicating his intentions. “Allbara Investment pulled their funds earlier, and a few big companies announced they wouldn’t cooperate with us anymore. Recently, several suppliers have terminated their contracts. I want to ask for your help. Can you cooperate with our company?”
Mirabella was speechless.
“I heard your production volume has exploded recently, and you have a lot of orders. Can you pass some to us?”
Mirabella got the gist of his request and mocked him coldly: “Did you hit your head on the street? Or did the rainwater get into your brain? Instead of going to the hospital, you came here to act crazy?”
Demetrius knew that coming to Mirabella might get him reprimanded, but he didn’t expect her to be so harsh, especially in front of her assistant.
Just as Mirabella was about to enter the company, Demetrius blocked her way again.
“Bella, even if you don’t respect your father, at least think about your grandmother. Ask yourself, Has your grandmother treated you badly these years? Shouldn’t you repay her kindness? Now that the Melton family is in trouble, aren’t you going to help? I just want some of your orders; I’m not asking for alimony!”
Mirabella cut him off impatiently, saying, “What right do you have to say this to me?”
“Bella! I’m begging you. Even if you don’t want to give me some orders, at least give me a few designs.”
Designs??
“Now that you’re the company manager, you can get Designer Molly to whip up some new designs for us, free of charge. Then, our two companies can team up for sales. If you don’t fancy teaming up, we can sell them separately.”
Mirabella was annoyed.
Teamed up for sales, which meant partnering up with the Melton family’s company to boost their fame.
If they sold separately, all the cash would flow straight into their pockets.
Design styles for them to make money, for free? Even a sane person wouldn’t say something like that.
“Dean, call security and tell them there’s a lunatic babbling nonsense here.”
“Mirabella, how could you be so heartless?” Demetrius spat out angrily, “You’ve lived with the Melton family for eighteen years; all the money you spent was ours; did I ever ask for a penny back? I just want you to contribute a bit; I’m not asking you to fork out all your cash. Why are you so against it?”
Mirabella coolly replied, “I’ve repaid your kindness; I haven’t spent a dime of your money in these eighteen years.”
On the contrary, she was secretly bankrolling the Melton family.
Every time Demetrius hit a bad patch with his investments, she was the one to cover the losses.
Last time, he lost a few hundred million dollars; without her, the Melton family would’ve been bankrupt by now.
Would he still be able to drive his Maybach around and act crazy in front of her?
“Mirabella, I don’t want to fight with you.” Demetrius knew she had some worth, so he held his temper and said softly, “Give me a few piano pieces; I can sell those too.”
“What are you still doing standing there?” Mirabella coldly looked at Dean and said, “Aren’t you calling security?”
Dean quickly went to get security.
Mirabella just arrived at the company, and when she saw Demetrius trying to follow her in, she coldly warned him, “If you take one more step, the Melton family will be bankrupt today.”
Although he knew she didn’t have the power to do so, her aura made him uneasy.
Seeing Mirabella walk into the company, Demetrius yelled out, “I’ll be waiting for you at home; when you’ve cooled off, understand me, then come home, and I’ll have someone make you some good food.”
Mirabella pressed the elevator button and stepped in.
“Don’t forget to come home.” Watching the elevator doors close, Demetrius turned around and walked to his car.
Sitting in the car, Olga and Yolanda watched him being humiliated and were very angry.
“Mirabella just became the manager of a small company, and she thinks she’s all that. Wonder what lowly method she used to become a manager; she even dares to put on airs in front of us.” Olga was furious.
“Dad, Mom, don’t be mad; she’s a good person, and I believe she’ll understand. Let’s go home and wait for news, Yolanda comforted them.
Olga glanced at her. She was very fond of Yoli, compared to Mirabella, she liked Yoli more!
Demetrius also found out that only Yoli was the closest to him, while Mirabella was always hurting him!
Every time he tried to get close to her, he would get hurt!
Indeed, Mirabella was not his biological daughter!
As soon as Mirabella got back to her office, her phone started buzzing.
“Bella, come to the hospital quickly; Grace’s condition has suddenly worsened.”
The moment Mirabella heard the news, she was on her feet and out the door, asking, “What’s up?”
“Something might have rattled her.”
Mirabella immediately had an inkling: “Did anyone from the Melton family go to the hospital?”
“A nurse told me that she saw someone from the Melton family leaving Grace’s room before she fell ill.”
This could mean that Grace was pissed off by the Melton family.
If that’s the case, she won’t let them off the hook!
By the time she rushed to Hope Hospital, Grace’s vital signs were plummeting fast.
In the room besides Caden Newton, there were two doctors and a nurse, all discussing how to save Grace.
