Chapter 19 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Posted on November 23, 2023 by admin

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

Ranked first on the national rich list for twelve consecutive years!

“Since the Master retired last year and the Young Master took over the group, he has become the wealthiest man in the country.”

Regardless of who the richest person is, they are all part of the Collins family.

Mirabella understood. Previously, Demetrius and Olga had said that her parents were unemployed…

So, they were unemployed for this reason.

After a while, a flashy sports car left the Collins residence and drove onto the main street.

To avoid attracting attention, Mirabella parked the Bugatti Veyron in a nearby underground garage where Kelly had been waiting for quite some time.

When Mirabella stepped out of the car, Kelly’s eyes nearly popped out. She stared at Mirabella’s luxury car for several seconds, then asked incredulously, “This is your family’s car?”

Although Kelly knew Mirabella lived in the Reflections Villa in Summerfield, this kind of expensive car wasn’t something an average rich person could own…

Kelly seemed to be greatly shocked, “Which family is your biological father from?”

“The Collins family.”

“Kenneth Collins?” Kelly’s eyes widened in surprise.

“You know him?”

“Who wouldn’t know the country’s richest man? You’re… you’re damn lucky, Kelly exclaimed, “The Meltons must be regretting it now.”

In a luxurious private mansion in the suburbs, the lights were dazzling.

The mansion had thirty-two entrances. If viewed from the sky, it looked like a child’s drawing of the sun.

Each car would enter a different entrance, then into a different garage. After parking, they would take a dedicated elevator to their prepared private rooms.

Throughout this process, they wouldn’t see other guests, and even after finishing, they wouldn’t meet other guests on the road.

Because of the high degree of privacy and security here, the entry tickets were always in high demand.

Kelly was the Piper family’s beloved little princess, so naturally, she could get these tickets.

She and Mirabella were regulars here.

After parking, they took the elevator to the 3rd private room, which was fully equipped with drinks and snacks.

This was Serena’s first time in such a place. If not for her good friend leading the way, she might not know how vast the world outside was, and that this gorgeous private mansion was actually an underground auction house.

“Brooklyn, how did you know about this place?”

Serena had told her bestie Brooklyn Reed at noon that she didn’t know what gift to give to the sick Phillip, so Brooklyn suggested they come here to look.

“I’ve been here a few times with my brother. There are all kinds of rare and precious things here! Just wait and see what Phillip likes, buy it and give it to him, he’ll definitely be very happy.”

Brooklyn was also a rich second gen. She figured that Phillip had seen all kinds of common treasures, but the ones that appeared at the auction were definitely not available on the market.

“Why don’t I see any other guests?” Serena was puzzled.

“They’re all in the other private rooms. The hall has thirty-two rooms in total, and they form a circle with the stage in the middle.”

“But there’s no emcee on the stage, all the auctions are automated.”

“Do you know that each room has a large glass wall? That’s for a better view of the auction items.”

“You can clearly see outside, but you can’t see inside when you’re outside.”

Listening to her bestie’s endless chatter, Serena couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. If her five brothers had been willing to take her here before, she could have seen so much more…

Inside private room number one, Carl stood next to Romeo and respectfully said, “Mr. McMillian, the HeartEase Herb will appear as the finale of the auction.”

“Mhm.” The man sitting on the sofa spoke in a low voice, exuding an air of nobility.

Heard that Heart Ease Herb works wonders for heart diseases, he was hoping to snag it at the auction, then hand it over to the medical experts around him for further study.

“The auction has started.”

The floor in the center of the stage slowly parted, and an item for auction slowly rose.

An automated voiceover began to introduce the source and value of the auction item…

A huge electronic screen magnified the shape of the auction item, every detail, every part, could be seen clearly.

This was a small bottle of Heart Revive, reportedly, for heart disease patients, it gives a refreshing and comfortable feeling after taking it. When you’re fine, you can use it to brew soup. If a patient falls ill, it can also be dissolved in water and taken, providing quick pain relief.

It won’t cause any side effects when mixed with any other medicine.

During the system’s explanation, the HeartRevive moved along the ground track, in front of the electronic screen of each box, letting people see it clearly. “Bella, isn’t this the leftover material from your HeartEase production?”

“Yeah.” Mirabella did not hide it, honestly saying, “This is making full use of resources.”

Although its effect is not as good as HeartEase, at least it has some medicinal value, so no waste here.

[Starting price, twenty grand.)

Kelly was taken aback by the price. “Even the leftover stuff costs twenty grand?”

There were three buttons in front of the glass wall, labeled ten grand, fifty grand, and a hundred grand, respectively.

In other words, the minimum bid increase was ten grand.

Serena stood in front of the glass wall, watching as the amount on the screens in the other boxes lit up blue. After several rounds of bidding, the price had already risen to a hundred and twenty grand.

“Serena, this thing’s pretty cool. You could buy it and make some soup for Phillip. It’ll be good for his health, and he’ll know you’re a good girl. He’ll definitely appreciate it…

Serena also wanted to get her hands on this treasure, but the competition from the other buyers was too fierce. She had pressed the ten-grand button several times without success, so she decided to take a risk and press the hundred-grand button!

The room fell silent.

[Bidding at two hundred and fifty grand for the first time!]

[Bidding at two hundred and fifty grand for the second time!]

[Bidding at two hundred and fifty grand for the third time! Sold!]

[Congratulations to buyer number 19 on winning a bottle of HeartRevive!]
