Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Alvis’s classmates were a bit angry, “Listen here, don’t push your luck.”
Mirabella’s dangerous gaze made Alvis’s classmates quite scared, “Alvis, just apologize to them.”
Alvis shot them a glare.
Seeing another person being beaten so badly, Alvis had no choice but to swallow his pride, “Sorry.”
He didn’t want to end up like the other guy, covered in bruises.
“Who are you talking to?” Mirabella was obviously not satisfied with his attitude, “Are you apologizing seriously?”
Alvis had to suppress his pain. He walked up to Evan, and bowed his head, “Sorry, I lost my cool earlier.”
“Was he the only one who hit you?” Mirabella turned to ask Evan, “What about the others?”
Evan looked at Cherry, who immediately got angry as if blaming Evan.
Mirabella noticed the dirty shoe print on Evan’s hand. She turned to Cherry and asked coldly, “Did you step on him?”
Cherry answered arrogantly, “What’s it to you?”
“Sis, let it go.” Alma stepped forward to defend her friend.
But Mirabella didn’t seem to plan on letting her off, “So, do you want to apologize for her?”
Alma was speechless for a moment.
“Apologize and pay medical expenses, or I’ll report this to your school and call the police.”
Cherry didn’t expect Mirabella to be so unreasonable. She had just extorted a hundred thousand dollars from Alvis and wasn’t satisfied. She still wanted her to apologize and compensate.
“What if I refuse?”
Mirabella took out her phone and dialed the police right in front of them.
Two or three classmates started to panic. As children of government officials, their families wouldn’t ordinarily have enough money to throw around like this.
Besides, their parents were currently running for government positions. A scandal right now would be bad for the campaign!
“Cherry, give it a rest. No need to make a fuss over it.”
“Making a big deal out of this won’t do your family any favors.”
“Listen, I’ll cover the cost. You just apologize to him.”
“Please, Cherry.”
A few classmates quietly pleaded with Cherry. Annoyed, Cherry glared at Mirabella, “Typical small-town girl. You can’t shake off your money-grubbing ways. I’ve got cash to burn! A hundred grand, keep the change!”
She wrote a check for a hundred grand and tossed it in Evan’s face.
The check fluttered to the ground.
Cherry stood there, haughty as royalty.
“Pick. It. Up.” Mirabella coolly watched her, “I’ve got no patience for this. Either I call the cops or you apologize sincerely. Your call.”
“Cherry, I’m begging you, just apologize!”
“Please, Cherry.”
“Apologize to a waiter? What are you guys thinking?” Cherry crossed her arms, clearly refusing to apologize.
She could afford to pay, but apologizing to someone beneath her? That was a no-go.
“A job is just a means to survive. If I threw you out into the real world, you wouldn’t even know how to make a living, and you still have the nerve to look down on others.”
“You!”
“At least they earn their money with their own two hands, unlike you, spending your parents’ cash like there’s no tomorrow, all the while feeling superior.”
Furious, Cherry glared at Mirabella, “No matter what you say, it doesn’t change the fact that they’re beneath me.”
“So being a waiter automatically makes you inferior?”
“Just because you’re not born into a wealthy family and have to work for a living, does that make you less than?”
“If it weren’t for these diligent workers keeping your family’s enterprise afloat, would you even be here to diss them? If you’re so capable, fire them! I recorded what you just said.” Mirabella held up her phone, “If your family’s employees heard you calling them ‘inferior’, I wonder how many would quit?
How much would your stocks plummet? How much damage would your family take?”
Cherry was gritting her teeth in rage.
“Pick it up. Apologize. I won’t say it a third time.” Mirabella coolly watched her, “You may look down on others for their jobs, but they’ll look down on you for your attitude. If word gets out that the Evert family’s princess is so full of herself and arrogant, imagine the backlash the Evert family would face.”
Cherry was fuming, but in the end, she begrudgingly picked up the check and muttered an apology.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Mirabella asked, “Who pushed the manager?”
That guy quickly owned up. He didn’t want another beating from Mirabella.
“Mirabella, you’ll pay for this!” Cherry threatened as she left.
Once the seven or so students left, the club’s staff started clapping. Mirabella turned to check on Evan’s injuries, “Manager, can he take a break, maybe get checked out at the hospital?”
“Sure, I’ll arrange for someone to take him. Ms. Bella, thank you for helping us again.”
Mirabella had helped them out before.
Mirabella nodded slightly, “I’ve got some things to take care of, so I’ll be going now.”
The club’s manager immediately followed her, pressing the elevator button for her, “Ms. Bella, allow me to see you out. We really wouldn’t know what to do without you today.”
As the crowd dispersed, no one noticed the couple in the corner admiring Mirabella.
“Honey, we are right. She’s truly exceptional.” The middle-aged man was in awe of Mirabella’s integrity, bravery, kindness, and decisive problem-solving. He couldn’t help but admire her.
“Oh my god, I like her even more.” The lady was once again touched by Mirabella. She didn’t expect such a brave woman in this era.
The way Mirabella just smacked that person was way too cool!
The lady really wished she had two sons, so she could have one of them pursue Mirabella.
Such a pity! A real pity!
The manager escorted Mirabella to her car, reminding her, “If anyone tries to ambush you on the road or if you run into any trouble, come find me. I’ve got a secret room here where people can hide. No one would find out. Plus, I know some folks in high places.”
Mirabella thought the manager’s behavior tonight was a bit off. Not only did he escort her to the garage, but he also said some strange things.
“Did something happen?”
“Nothing.” The manager didn’t dare to tell her that his creepy boss Mr. McMillian had taken notice of her, fearing that Mr. McMillian might have someone intercept her on the road.
“Anyway, Ms. Bella, you must be careful.”
“Okay.”
Mirabella only called Romeo to check in after she got in the car.
“Have you handed over the music sheet?” Romeo asked with concern, “Did everything go smoothly?”
“Yes, it went very smoothly. They were very satisfied with the music sheet.” Mirabella didn’t mention that she had hit someone. “I’m on my way home now.”
“Okay, drive carefully. Watch the road.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After hanging up the phone, Mirabella focused on driving.
After Mirabella left, the manager urgently gathered all the waiters, “Don’t tell Mr. McMillian about what happened tonight! Or you’ll be fired!”
All the waiters were confused. They didn’t understand why.
Wasn’t this Mr. McMillian’s club?
Someone caused trouble tonight. Shouldn’t they report it to Mr. McMillian?
“Just follow my instructions.”
The manager was afraid that if Romeo found out about Ms. Bella hitting someone here, he would trouble Ms. Bella and force her to do something she didn’t want to do.
After all, given Mr. McMillian’s influence and temper, it was better to be careful.
Romeo had some late-night snacks prepared, having nothing to do at home, so he called the manager again.
“Did anything happen tonight?”
