Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Olga nearly tripped, but Demetrius quickly grabbed her and asked, “Are you okay? You seem shocked. Sure, she got top score, but it’s not that big of a deal!”
“Demetrius, the news reported that her name is Mirabella,” Olga gasped, taking a while to get her words out, “Mirabella, could she be Kenneth and Louisa’s daughter?”
“The billionaire’s daughter?” Demetrius squinted at the news and stated, “There’s no picture of her on the news, though. Maybe this top scorer isn’t our Mirabella?”
Deep down, Yolanda was filled with dread. If Mirabella really was the lost daughter of the Collins family, then the Melton family would be leagues behind the Collins‘
The difference between the Melton family and the Collins family was night and day.
“The news didn’t mention the highschool attended by this top scorer.”
Before Demetrius could finish, Olga nudged him, “Quick, call Mirabella’s former teacher and confirm if this top scorer is her!”
Was this girl truly fortunate to achieve the highest score once again and also be named Mirabella?
Demetrius was still in shock.
“Call now!”
Prompted by Olga, Demetrius dialed the number, his face pale.
And even more so, when the teacher on the phone said, “I just sent Mirabella a text congratulating her and she promised to come back to our school for a speech. Mr. Melton, did you not know your daughter is a Collins?”
The teacher discovered over the summer that Mirabella was not a biological Melton, but had returned to the Collins family.
Regarding the specifics, she was unaware and hesitant to inquire.
Demetrius was bewildered as he did not know how he had hung up the phone.
“Well? Is the top scorer her or not?” Olga pressed, “Speak up!”
Without thinking, Demetrius nodded, still in a daze. Mirabella not only was the top scorer, but she also received full marks!
“The teacher was showering her with praises over the phone. Turns out, she’s always been a top student in high school.”
Olga was shocked, “What did you say?”
“Dad, mom, whether she’s a top student or not isn’t the point. The question is whether she is a Collins or not! Dad, why don’t you call the Collins group?”
Demetrius suddenly realized that if Mirabella had–returned to the Collins family, people around her would definitely know her!
With their status, even if they can’t contact the Collins family, they could at least contact the receptionist at the company, right?
With that in mind, Demetrius called the receptionist at the Collins group’s headquarters, “Hello, this is Demetrius of the Melton group. I saw on the news about a top scorer( named Mirabella. I wanted to ask if she’s Mr. Collins‘ daughter. I wanted to give him a call to congratulate.”
“Sorry, Mr. Melton, I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I don’t know much about the Collins family’s personal affairs. But as far as I know, the Collins family only has one daughter.”
“Is it Serena?” Demetrius asked anxiously.
“Yes.”
After hanging up, Demetrius felt relieved. Thankfully, Mirabella was not the Collins‘ biological daughter, otherwise their past actions could have put the Melton family in trouble.
Olga felt relieved when she heard the receptionist’s words, “I was so scared, thank God she’s not the Collins‘ daughter.”
After all, the last name is pretty common.
Overseas
A trendy, handsome, and sunny boy had just finished recording for the day and was rushing off the set, heading for the airport.
“David, where are you off to?”
His manager was hustling to keep up with him. “It’s so late already, are you still going back to see your sister? There’s a celebration party up next, everyone else can skip it, but you must go!”
“David, are you even listening to me?” His manager was frantic, chasing and fuming. “What’s the rush, dude?”
Just as David Collins stepped into the elevator, his manager chased after him, barely making it in before the doors closed, panting heavily.
“No one’s chasing you, why are you darting off without even waiting for me?”
“Your fault for having short legs and walking slowly.”
The handsome boy with striking features finally spoke his handsome face flawless.
Looking at that handsome face, the manager could not even find any anger in him. He had no choice but to explain, “I understand you’re in a rush to see your sister, but we’ve already delayed it for so many days, one more hight won’t hurt, right?”
*Just because she’s not your sister, you’re not in a rush, right?” David arched his handsome brows in a warning, “There’s no negotiating this, I have to go back tonight.”
“Alright, alright, if you insist on going back, I’ll book the flights, okay?” The manager stepped out of the elevator, pulling out his phone resignedly.
He was probably the most powerless manager in history.
For the previous three months, they had been part of a variety show.
The show was called ‘Dream for Young‘, telling the story of a group of teenagers who, through various rounds of selection, became the top 99 performers. The show’s producers sent them to a stunning foreign location for a three–month training period and performance competition.
Being a top international superstar with exceptional singing and dancing skills, David was poached by the show’s producers to be a home coach and music mentor, guiding these trainees in ‘Dream for Young‘.
As a result, David had been in this place for a full three months, training the trainees and imparting professional knowledge every day.
Finally, the last day of recording ended, and he left in a hurry, eager to get home to see his sister as fast as possible!
He had already delayed it for too many days!
If it were not for nurturing newcomers, promoting a flourishing entertainment industry, and setting an example for the younger generation, he would have quit halfway to go home to see his sister!
His manager, Klein’s point was that there was a celebration party that night where all the staff and selected teenagers would attend. The matter of seeing his sister. had already been delayed for so long, a little longer would not matter.
But David insisted on going back. Well, his manager had spoiled him!
As the plane finally took off, David stared into the distance, his eyes filled with a touch of trepidation and unease.
“Do you think that my sister will like me?” His voice was very pleasant.
“Of course, she will!” Klein answered without hesitation. “You’re such a popular star, so handsome and full of energy, who wouldn’t like you?”
“Look at those fans, every time they crowd the venue so tightly, shouting they want to marry you and have your kids. Every time you appear, traffic grinds to a halt, and even the cops must be dispatched to maintain order. Considering your popularity, your sister must have heard your songs, and there is a good chance she is your fan, following behind you with a pen, hoping to get your autograph. You can relax!
David was thinking that if his sister really digs his music, he could put on a private show just for her, where she could not only get autographs but also take as many pictures with him as she wanted! The best seat at the concert would always be reserved for her! He would even take her along when he was on TV! As long as his sister was happy, nothing else mattered.
Meanwhile, his sister had just woken up and freshened up, and as she was coming downstairs, she saw Serena looking all green–eyed, wishing she could tear her into pieces
“Bella, you’re up?” Louisa, sipping her coffee on the couch, looked at her coming down the spiral staircase and chuckled, “You’ve been out for a whole day! You must be starving, right? There’s still warm food in the kitchen, go grab some!”
Edith next to her grinned, “Ms Bella bagging the top spot means she’s got a ton of studying to do. Now that the results are out, she can finally get some sleep without any womes! She must have been sleep deprived!”
“This kid is such a nerd, Louisa comments, looking at Mirabella. “Bella, at home, you can sleep as much as you want, no stress is needed.”
Mirabella gave a small smile and said, “Sounds good.”
“Oh, and by the way, Phillip McMillian had his personal butler deliver some gifts earlier. They are to congratulate you on your perfect score. Romeo also stopped by. but when he heard you were sleeping, he didn’t want to disturb you, so he just left his gift.”
Following their gaze, Mirabella saw the gifts from Grandpa Phillip and Romeo piled up like two small mountains, like they were in a competition or something. Was all that fuss really necessary just because she got first place?
“Do you want me to have these gifts moved to your room?”
“Sure”
“Phillip’s butler claimed that he carefully chose everything in there. It must be very valuable. Phillip is so generous; it’s clear that he really likes you.”
As Louisa said that, Serena bit her lip in envy, her jealousy evident. It was like she wished she could be in Mirabella’s shoes.
Mirabella suddenly realized, no wonder Serena was giving her the evil eye when she came downstairs earlier. It was because of that!
Thinking of that, Mirabella’s lips curled into a smile. She felt even better. After grabbing a bite, she said goodbye to Louisa, then headed out with her car keys.
Just as she stepped out of the main hall, she saw a servant leading a young lady in, who was carrying a bunch of gifts.
Mirabella had seen this lady a few times before. She always brought gifts when she came to visit Kenneth and Louisa.
Apparently, her name was Sunny, and she seemed to have had the hots for David, but Mirabella wasn’t interested in the details. Since she was a bit far away, Mirabella did not bother to say hi and instead headed for the garage.
The road to the airport was getting more crowded. A drive that usually took twenty minutes, Mirabella had already spent forty, and she was still not on the main airport road.
Did something big happen that made people want to get out of town early?
Why else would there be such a rush to the airport?
Even though she left early, she ended up stuck in a traffic jam near a bridge close to the airport and couldn’t move forward.
She might miss Kelly’s assistant’s appointment and be unable to obtain that crucial pill if things continued in that manner as the minutes passed.
With that thought in mind, she revved up the engine and tried to find a way through the jam.
Many people stuck in traffic suddenly heard the roaring of a sports car, then saw a white speedster zoom past them, charging down the road.
Loads of cars were stuck on the bridge, but this white speedster maneuvered through the narrow gaps with ease, hurtling forward at breakneck speed. Unbelievable!
“How did she manage to get through such a tight space?”
“Is she a professional race driver?”
