Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Yes.” Mirabella didn’t explain much.
But Romeo gently added, “Gramps is very pleased with Bella; he even asked Bella to pick him up from the hospital in a couple of days.” Kenneth and Louisa never expected Phillip to be so pleased with their precious daughter; they were over the moon.
“Alright, when Phillip is discharged, let Bella know; you two can go pick him up together.”
Serena was so jealous she could burst; she couldn’t understand why Grandpa Phillip would just hand over the crown necklace to Mirabella so easily! She had tried so hard to please Grandpa Phillip before, acting like a know–it–all in front of him, but even then, Grandpa Phillip never took out the crown necklace!
Mirabella only went today for a few hours, and Grandpa Phillip already liked her so much?
After chatting for a while, Romeo stood up to leave, he gently patted Mirabella’s head, “Go to bed early, don’t stay up late.”
He said it like he was telling off a child.
Kenneth and Louisa had never seen such a tender side of Romeo, their hearts filled with joy once again, they didn’t expect their relationship to progress so quickly and smoothly.
Mirabella usually hated being touched, but today, Romeo had made her let her guard down time and time again.
“I should get going.” Romeo looked into her eyes, his voice soft, “I’ll call you when I get home.”
Serena couldn’t believe they had already exchanged phone numbers; she was steaming mad inside.
“Alright.” Mirabella went upstairs to shower after they left.
Serena returned to her room; if it weren’t for Martha supporting her, she would’ve collapsed on the floor like a pile of mud!
“Martha, what should I do?” She had never felt so defeated in her life!
“Serena.”
“Romeo is so into my sister; what should I do? How can I get Romeo to notice me?”
Martha thought of a plan in her heart, then said, “Don’t worry, her happiness won’t last long!”
On his way home, Romeo asked the driver in front, “Have you found Dr. Bell yet?”
“Not yet.” Carl glanced at the rear–view mirror, naturally knowing what Mr. McMillan was thinking: “Although rumors are swirling that Dr. Bell had passed away, a few insiders say he’s still alive; he just stopped treating patients! And his whereabouts are so mysterious, no one can find him; every time we’re close to finding him, he slips away!”
Romeo knew that if it were that easy to find him, he wouldn’t be Dr. Bell.
“Mr. McMillan, should we let Miss Mirabella give it a shot?” Carl glanced at the rear–view mirror, as if guessing his thoughts: “Miss Mirabella is a brilliant doctor; she’s already saved Phillip twice.”
“Gramps‘ condition is tricky.”
Romeo didn’t want to put Mirabella in a tough spot, in case she didn’t know how to treat it or felt guilty for not being able to.
That’s not the outcome he wanted to see.
“You keep searching for Dr. Bell’s whereabouts.”
“Yes”
Mirabella had just returned to her room when her phone buzzed with a new message.
[Someone’s been asking around for Dr. Bell. Apparently there’s a really complicated case that needs ‘Dr. Bell’s‘ help urgently.]
Mirabella replied immediately: “Busy, no time.”
Tomorrow was Monday, and she had to check on the company her father had given her. If she didn’t, they would just transfer her more money.
[The other party is loaded. They say they’ll pay whatever it takes just to get ‘Dr. Bell.]
The message was sent, but Mirabella had already logged off.
She headed into the bathroom for a shower. As soon as she got dressed, her phone rang.
The screen displayed a strange number, but she answered without a second thought, as if it were just business as usual.
“Demetrius has cost us a fortune! We’ve lost so much! So much! I wish I could go give his family a piece of my mind. I really want to know how they managed to raise such an idiot! A while ago, he wanted to invest in some projects. I practically laid out a roadmap for him; I almost handed him the money on a silver platter! But no! He not only lost everything but dragged us down with him! If this keeps up, you won’t even see me anymore! I’m going to die from frustration!”
The one speaking was Jack, who had been with Mirabella for three years, always faithfully by her side.
Mirabella paused midway while drying her hair. Lost a lot of money, huh? Demetrius really was an idiot. How many times had this happened now?
“Why are you even bothering with that dimwit? We should cut all ties and make our own money instead of constantly losing it because of him! How have they treated you all these years in the Melton family? How much have you put up with? You’ve done more than enough to repay Grace. You’ve treated her well, given the Melton family so much business behind the scenes, and solved so many problems for Demetrius, helping them become the wealthiest in Tranquil City. You’ve more than repaid Grace! Can we please stop helping them?”
Mirabella casually wiped her hair with a dry towel and said, “Sure.”
She had been considering this for a while.
From now on, she will have nothing to do with the Melton family. Their paths would never cross again.
Without us backing him up, I wonder how long his company can last.”
With Demetrius’s business acumen, he was not only going to lose the top spot in Tranquil City but could possibly go bankrupt.
Mirabella didn’t want to talk about that fool anymore. She casually wiped her hair, “I’m sending you a location. Come pick something up.” “Roger that! Whatever you command, even if it means hardship, I’ll do it!”
Jack said this, then glanced at the sullen figure beside him and couldn’t help but let slip, “Jones misses you too. He wants to see you.”
Mirabella reluctantly agreed, “Fine.”
Before long, they followed the location to Reflections Villa, skillfully avoiding the security guards.
“Scale the wall and get in.”
Mirabella didn’t want to alarm the others in the house.
“Got it!”
Two figures climbed over the wall and quickly appeared before Mirabella.
“Boss! We missed you.”
They didn’t expect their boss’s biological father to be Kenneth, who had been the wealthiest man in the country for twelve consecutive years.
Nor did they expect to be in the home of the country’s richest man. It was so grand, so luxurious.
They knew their boss had found her biological parents, but they didn’t know her family was this well–off.
They were living the high life!
“Go to the bank tomorrow.” Mirabella handed them a check.
Jack and Jones looked at each other, took the check, and looked closely. Was this check real?
“A blank check from McMillan Corporation?? Boss, where did you pick this up?” Jack couldn’t believe his eyes. “You didn’t steal it, did you?”
Jones kicked him and asked, “What are you talking about? She isn’t a thief! She wouldn’t even bother to pick up money off the ground! Boss, tell us, did you steal this check?”
“What are you talking about?” Jack couldn’t help but punch Jones; “With our boss’s integrity and her smarts, does she need to steal from others?”
The girl was very beautiful, with flawless skin and lively eyes. She waited until they finished their fuss before she leisurely said, “You’ll know how I got this check when you cash it. Write it for three hundred million dollars.”
She couldn’t ask for too much. Three hundred million was enough.
Upon hearing this, Jack quietly put down the check, saying, “Boss, I can’t. This is a check from McMillan Corporation. I’m afraid if Romeo finds out, he’ll have my head.”
If it was a fake check, he was a dead mari.
Mirabella glanced at him. What a coward!
“Boss, where did this check really come from?” Jones picked up the check and examined it from all angles under the light. This check was definitely real. Mirabella said nonchalantly, “It fell from the sky.”
“Why don’t I ever get checks like this?” Jack complained, “How did this check just happen to fall into your hands?”
Mirabella gave him a glance and said, “If it fell into your hands, could you have caught it?”
“Who says I couldn’t?” Jack said very seriously, “Not just one, but ten, twenty, bring them on!”
“I made a cut in Phillip’s heart.”
The aura the girl exuded casually was like that of a queen.
