Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Once again!
Mirabella had heard this spiel one too many times, but the people around her looked incredulous. Was Alberto planning to turn Luna Capital over to Mirabella?
Seeing Mirabella’s expression; Alberto couldn’t help but laugh. This is my wedding gift to you. It doesn’t matter when you accept it. Considering your youth, I’ll bear the pain and help you for a few more years.”
Kenneth was taken aback and hurried forward, saying, “Mr. Rollins, I am incredibly honored that Bella has won your favor.”
The total value of Luna Capital had long exceeded billions!
“Ah!” Alberto laughed, saying, “In this world, she’s the only kid have faith in. You don’t know how long I pleaded with her to be my granddaughter–two whole years!”
Everyone was even more surprised.
Alberto leaned over to Kenneth’s ear and playfully said, “Mainly because she got so annoyed with me, she couldn’t help but agree, haha.”
Mirabella could guess what Alberto was saying, watching him whisper to Romeo one moment and share secrets with her dad the next.
Even after Alberto left, Hans was still in shock, wondering just how many identities his precious little sister had.
People outside always said Alberto was like a burning flame, but in front of everyone, especially Bella, he’s an energetic, adorable, and fun–loving old man!
On the other side.
Zachary received a call at home: “What did you say? A mental hospital? I’m on my way.”
Shortly after Zachary left, his mother got a shocking message: “The Melton family bought that piece of land in the suburbs and paid 1.2 billion dollars on the spot? Aren’t they about to go bankrupt? Where did they get so much money from?”
After hanging up, she told her husband and anxiously asked, “Do you think the Melton family was testing us before? Pretending to be poor to get our help? But we showed our true colors and pushed them away.”
Zachary’s father nodded and said, “It’s possible.”
“1.2 billion, just like that. That’s several times more than our assets!”
Now that they’ve bought that piece of land in the suburbs, it’s rumored to be worth a fortune, and owning it could reap several times the profit!
“What if the Melton family strikes it rich and Yolanda dumps Zachary?” Zachary’s mother was suddenly panic–stricken.
“Calm down; let’s wait for Zachary to come back and ask about the situation. If they really did buy that land, we as parents need to show up at the engagement party in a few days, give the Melton family due respect, and seal this marriage deal!”
“But,” Zachary’s mother said, she couldn’t stand Yolanda, be it looks, temperament, academics, or talents; she’s no match for Mirabella!
“Forget about Mirabella; she’s a top scholar and a piano master; she won’t even look at your son. Let’s go, let’s change, and get ready for tonight’s charity gala.”
“I heard Demetrius dropped 1.2 billion today; he was invited to join tonight’s charity gala on the spot. We must build good relations with them tonight, no matter what!” Zachary’s mother’suddenly regretted her previous attitude towards the Melton family and hoped to make amends tonight.
Over at Reflections Villa
Serena received several calls, her face getting grimmer with each one.
Martha couldn’t help but ask, “Serena, what’s happened?”
“My classmates‘ parents attended a land auction today; my parents publicly admitted in front of everyone that the founder of QY is their daughter; they even stood up for her against the Melton family.”
Serena was getting anxious: “Now my classmates are asking me what’s going on, asking if Mirabella was adopted by my parents? They also said they haven’t been invited to my house for a while and want to come over in a few days! What do we do about Mirabella’s identity? We can’t let them find out I’m a fake heiress!” “Serena, calm down.”
Just as Martha was speaking, the front door was pushed open. Kenneth, Louisa, Hans, and Mirabella walked in together, their family of four laughing and talking, sight that deeply hurt Serena.
“Dad, mom, you’re back? Brother, you’re back from abroad? Sister, why did you come back together? Did you meet on the road?”
“We attended a land auction with Bella today,” Louisa said, smiling at Mirabella. “You go upstairs and rest for a bit; we’ll eat something before we go to the gala.” The food at the charity gala was mainly for show; Louisa was worried Mirabella would be too shy to eat properly, so she asked the chef to prepare some food in advance.
“By the way, your dress for tonight is already in your room. Edith put it there.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be going out with your friends tonight? Louisa shot back.
Serena hadn’t expected her mom to ask about her plans last right, so when she said she was going out with friends, her mom didn’t take her to the charity gala.
Would her mom only take Mirabella to the gala in the future?
“Friend gatherings are just small potatoes. But a charity gala is such a big event that it might be Ms Bella’s first time, right? It would be nice to have Serena accompany her,” Martha suggested warmly
Louisa took a few sips of coffee and said coldly, ‘I’m enough company for Bella Besides, Bella’s never a stranger to any situation! When it comes to experience, Bella’s got Serena beat by a long shot!”
That sentence left Martha and Serena speechless.
Louisa, grinning looked back at Mirabella and said, “You go upstairs and rest. I’ll have Edith call you when dinner’s ready”
“Okay”
After Mirabella went upstairs, she received a phone call.
[Ross, you asked me to investigate the fire at Mercy Hospital on September 10th, eighteen years ago. The more I look into it, the fishier it seems.]
“What a fishy” Mirabella walked onto the balcony, her expression cold.
I found out that the janitor, Yvonne, who adopted Yolanda, heard an explosion while cleaning up water that night. At first, the explosion was very loud, and she was too scared to approach. It was only when she wanted to rescue people that she noticed several unlicensed black sedans driving in the opposite direction.]
Yvonne was too busy rescuing people to pay much attention, so she didn’t see what kind of car they were driving or what they looked like. So I checked with her colleagues at the time and asked them about the situation that day, and they all said the same thing as Yvonne.]
[But one janitor said that after the explosion that night, they rescued many people from the health center. It was raining heavily, and while she was resting, she suddenly saw one of the black sedans that had left earlier returning.]
(in that era, in that place, very few people owned sedans. The car was the same as the black cars that had left earlier, with four rings on the front.]
“Audi?”
In that era, very few people could afford an Audi, let alone in a place like Wye.
[I showed her photos of cars from that era, and she said the car she saw was indeed an Audi, but their car didn’t have a license plate, so it’s hard to investigate.] [That night, three men got out of the black sedan that returned. They looked very fierce and kept searching among the rescued crowd for someone. They left when they didn’t find them.]
[I checked the car model and compared it with the Audis that had appeared in Wye that year. My eyes were about to go blind from all the investigating before I found a tiny clue!)
Mirabella seemed used to his way of talking: “Keep going.”
“One of the owners of the Audis died on September 12th, eighteen years ago! It was said to be a drunk driving accident! If he hadn’t had an accident that night, he was supposed to leave the country the next morning.”
“What was his job?”
“He was initially jobless, then started driving people around like a cab driver.”
“He drove an Audi to pick up passengers?” Mirabella couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Who would believe that?
“He supposedly won the money to buy the car from gambling. He drove for a few days after winning the money and then suddenly died in a car accident.”
So he thought it was strange.
“Any other findings?”
“The other car owners also suddenly owned an Audi. Some won it in a casino, others got it through other means, but not long after they got it, they suddenly died!” Was there really such a coincidence in the world?
The person on the other end of the phone said, “Boss, if someone really planned this explosion, and all the drivers involved that night were killed, and it has remained undiscovered for so many years, then his power is definitely not something that Martha alone can handle.”
“Uh huh, I know”
