Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“You’re already holding my hand, you gonna bail on me now?” Romeo gently grasped her hand, speaking softly, “It’s too late now.”
Mirabella tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly, “Don’t move.”
His voice was enticing, whispering in her ear, “I’m afraid I might hurt you.”
His words fingered in her ear as if they meant something else.
At the villa on the shore Lake. Serena kept glancing at her wristwatch. It was already eight in the evening, why wasn’t that country bumpkin back yet? Did she make a fool out of herself at Phillip’s and now too embarrassed to come home?
If that was the case, things were about to get interesting!
She could hardly wait to see that hillbilly’s awkward face!
A bunch of rich girls were surrounding Serena.
“Serena, why are you constantly checking the time? Are you waiting for a text from your fiancée, Romeo?”
“I heard your fiancée just bought some more luxury brands yesterday. You have to help me get those limited editions that I can’t buy!”
“Serena, I envy you so much. You have such a loving family and such an amazing fiancée.”
Serena responded with a fake smile, “Alright, you guys have had too much to drink; you should head home.”
Otherwise, once that woman came back, her identity would be exposed!
“We specially came to see you to give you a surprise, but you want to kick us out!”
“She just wants to call her fiancée and doesn’t want us to hear their sweet talk,”
“Stop it guys, you’re making me blush!” Serena playfully nudged her friends.
“Alright, we’ve been here all night. Let’s get going. We don’t want to disturb Serena and her fiancée.”
Just as the girls were about to leave, they noticed several luxury cars parked outside the villa. A dozen or so staff got out of the cars, hanging countless beautiful clothes, shoes, and bags onto countless display racks. After arranging them, they were about to bring them into the villa.
“Oh my god, am I hallucinating because I drank too much?”
“There are not thousands, but there must be hundreds!”
The girls, who were planning to leave, hurriedly went over to look at the clothes and shoes on the display racks.
These are new arrivals! From QY!!”
“They’re so beautiful! What should I do, I like it so much. oh my god, there are so many.”
Serena thought to herself that this must be because her parents bought Mirabella so many clothes, shoes, and bags yesterday that they felt guilty and asked QY to design and make new ones for her.
Looking at all the exquisite clothes and shoes and hearing her friends compliment her, Serena’s mood suddenly improved.
She didn’t expect her parents to be so fair. They loved herj r just as much. It seemed her status was no less than Mirabella’s.
Mr. Jamie, the person in charge of QY, was directing the staff. The girls recognized him at a glance: “Isn’t this Mr. Jamie, the person in charge of QY? You personally deliver the goods? You really value our friend!”
“Good evening, ladies.” Jamie didn’t know their names, but judging from their outfits, he knew they were QY fans.
“What’s all this about?” one of the girls couldn’t help but ask.
“Oh, these are prepared for Ms. Bennett.”
Jamie’s words were like a slap in the face for Serena, who had been happy just a moment ago but now felt like she was falling into an abyss..
Ms. Bennett? Why were they delivering to Ms. Bennett again?
Didn’t her parents just prepare a bunch of stuff for that woman yesterday?
Why were they preparing so much for her again today?
This favoritism was too obvious!
The girls, however, started to tease, “Ms. Bennett? Serena, isn’t that you?”
Serena had five older brothers, wasn’t she the sixth child in this family?
Serena felt extremely embarrassed. Everyone in the Collins family knew that Ms. Bennett referred to Mirabella, not her.
“Keep it down, it’s late.” Serena pulled her friends away, saying, “It’s getting late; you guys should go home.”
“I knew there was a reason Serena kept checking the time tonight. Turns out her parents prepared such a big surprise for her.”
“Serena, you’re such a modest one! If it were me, I’d be bragging on Instagram right away! Are you afraid we’ll find out about this? Are you worried it might shatter our fragile hearts?”
“Alright, let’s head back, let Serena enjoy her gifts. I’m so jealous!”
Even though Serena did not understand why her parents ordered so many clothes, shoes, and bags fór Mirabella, her main task now was to send her girlfriends away.
As they were about to get into the car, a luxury car suddenly pulled up in front of the villa.
One of the girlfriends, Brooklyn Reed, couldn’t help but ask, “Serena, isn’t that your fiancée’s car?”
That license plate, that limited–edition luxury car–who else could it be other than her fiancée?
Following Brooklyn’s gaze, Serena saw that it was indeed Romeo’s car. Romeo was here?
Carl got out of the car, respectfully opening the back door.
Romeo got out of the car, hand in hand with Mirabella. Seeing this, the girlfriends were stunned.
“Serena, isn’t that your fiancée? Why is he holding hands with another woman?
“Why is she coming out of his car? What is she doing at your house?”
“What is she up to?”
“Who does that woman think she is? Just wait till I humiliate her!”
“She dares to have a crush on Serena’s fiancée; I’ll go humiliate her too!”
The girlfriends were about to confront Mirabella.
Despite her jealousy of Mirabella, Serena tried to calm her friends down: “Alright, alright, don’t make a scene; she’s a relative.”
“What relative gets to hook up with your fiancée? They’re holding hands!”
“Serena, they’re treating you like this; why are you putting up with it?”
“Did Romeo fall for another woman? Or is he drunk? Is that why this woman is able to seduce him?”
Serena didn’t know how to explain the unexpected situation. Thankfully, there was a distance between them, so she whispered, “Here’s the thing. That girl has a tragic past, as you know, my parents are charitable, they’re considering adopting her.”
“She probably played her tragic card in front of Romeo, and he must have felt sorry for her.”
“Anyway, there must be a misunderstanding!”
Her girlfriends were still furious.
“Your parents can donate money if they want to be charitable! Why would they take in a stranger?”
“If your parents take in someone with no blood relation, she might covet your family’s wealth and even your fiancée; that would be trouble!”
Serena didn’t know how to get her friends to leave. Just then, Martha arrived, and Serena quickly signaled to her. Together, they managed to send the girls away.
On the other side.
As soon as Mirabella got out of the car, she saw Jamie waving at her, saying, “Hi, Ms. Bennett, we meet again.”
He had wanted to ask his boss about the delivery address, but his boss had blocked him, and his calls were not getting through.
“Why are you here?” Seeing him here surprised Mirabella, but she also had a bad feeling. Surely the designs she worked on overnight hadn’t all been delivered here.
After checking the items, she realized they were indeed her designs. She felt a pang in her heart, never thinking that after all this, the items would end up back in her hands!
“Do you two know each other?” Romeo looked from Mirabella to Jamie, his eyes clearly showing a hint of wariness and displeasure.
