Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Yolanda didn’t understand what had happened, but she had a bad feeling. Did something major happen while she was gone?
After a while, Zachary poured himself a drink and said, “I promised you before, after the engagement party, I would buy you a Porsche. That might have to be put on hold.”
What did he mean?
Was he not going to marry her anymore?
Was he not willing to spend the money?
Did he think he was superior?
Did he look down on her?
Those two guys were really good–looking, but she didn’t say it to provoke him or protect his ego.
He didn’t really think he was that great, did he?
Zachary watched her expression turn sour and patiently explained, “I just transferred all my personal savings to your father.”
Yolanda was taken aback. What did he mean?
Why did he transfer money to her father?
And so much at once?
Seeing that Zachary didn’t plan to say more, she went to her father, Demetrius. After learning the truth, she realized how inappropriate her relatives‘ behavior had been.
Meanwhile, David was serving food to Mirabella when his phone vibrated. It was his manager, saying he needed him to come over.
“Bella, I have some things to take care of. You just stay here and eat.” David gently patted Mirabella’s head, then turned to Romeo and said, “Take good care of Bella. If she’s not happy,”
He waved his fist, seemingly threatening him: “Watch out, I’ll punch you.”
Romeo’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly interested in this threat. He asked, “You think you can beat me?”
David instantly felt insulted. “Don’t underestimate me. Fights aren’t just about the size of your fist, but the strength behind it.”
“Oh.” Romeo’s grin grew wider.
“I feel like I’m totally being underestimated here!” David grumbled to himself.
“Let me give you a lift home, David.” This proposal lit up David’s eyes, and he looked at Mirabella excitedly. “But you haven’t finished your meal.”
“I’m already full.”
While David was thrilled, he didn’t forget to warn Romeo, “Don’t you dare follow us!”
Finally, he had a chance to spend some alone time with his sister!
Even if it was just for a little while.
David walked out shoulder to shoulder with Mirabella, looking as pumped as if he’d just won the lottery.
“Bella, is there anything you want to know about the entertainment industry? I can tell you everything I know.” David said it indulgently. “Not interested? That’s cool; I can tell you something else.”
He chatted with Mirabella about all kinds of celebrity gossip from the moment they stepped into the elevator until they reached the lobby.
Yolanda was about to thank Zachary when she spotted David out of the corner of her eye.
There he was, not wearing sunglasses, with his cap on backwards, dressed in trendy clothes, chatting joyfully with a girl. And that girl was Mirabella!
Yolanda’s eyes widened in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and looked–again. It was indeed Mirabella!
“Do you find this funny, hahaha?” David was laughing heartily.
Mirabella was amused by his silliness and nodded, “Yeah, it’s funny.”
“Right? I have another funny story to tell you.” David began to spill more industry gossip.
Yolanda couldn’t believe it. International superstar David was chatting and laughing with Mirabella so intimately.
Were they dating?
The thought shocked her. She covered her mouth, unable to believe this was real.
Could it be that Mirabella was invited to the dinner because of David?
He was a superstar, and it was common for him to book a whole restaurant.
But what made Mirabella worthy of being with such a perfect man?
Even if she was the founder of QY, she wasn’t qualified!
Yolanda clenched her fists, her eyes reddening with jealousy. Only after they had left did she approach Zachary.
Although Zachary had given $300,000, Yolanda had no interest in his ordinary face. She regretted that she had made her move too soon.
“Zachary, my dad told me what happened. I’m really sorry that my relatives have caused you trouble!” She bit her lip and said, “I’ll find a way to pay you back those $300,000.”
Even though she said this, Yolanda had no intention of repaying the money. She just wanted to leave a good impression on Zachary.
“I can’t possibly take your money. I hope you’re not mad about my earlier proposal. I just wanted to make my relatives like you more.”
“I know; I’ve talked to my dad about it. We’ll have separate engagement parties, and those distant relatives will be invited by my dad at another time.”
Seeing her say this, Zachary finally smiled.
On the other side, Mirabella had just dropped off David and returned to the private room. Everyone asked her if she wanted to eat anything, but she said she was full and couldn’t eat another bite. Kenneth and Lucas then started arguing about who should pick up the tab.
“I organized this dinner, so I should be the one to pay!”
“I’m Bella’s uncle; can’t you let me show some generosity? I want Bella to have a good impression of me too!”
“You’ve already given Bella gifts and a bank card; there’s no way we’re letting you pay for this meal.”
“Are you being polite to me again? I’m telling you, I must pay for this meal tonight; otherwise, my wife will punish me when I get home!”
Seeing the two brothers bickering endlessly, Louisa smiled at Mirabella and said, “Bella, why don’t you see Romeo out first? We’ll wait for you at the door.”
“Alright.”
As Romeo walked through the lobby with his arm around Mirabella’s shoulders, Yolanda’s mouth hung open wide énough to fit two eggs.
Wasn’t that the man she’d been pining for?
He was actually walking arm in arm with Mirabella, whispering something to her.
And Mirabella was smiling brightly, her eyes were flirting with him!
Hadn’t she just been hugging David?
That was way out of line!
She was dating two guys at the same time!
How shameless!
The real question was, How did she manage it? She had two amazing guys attracted to her, and they didn’t even notice each other. They were dining in the same restaurant but didn’t realize each other’s presence!
That was simply mind–blowing.
Seeing them leave the restaurant, Yolanda immediately stood up and said, “Zachary, I need to use the restroom“.
