Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
The minions around them were taken aback. A whole amusement park as a present? Not just some jewelry or clothes?
The boss of Group S was quite a big spender when it came to romance, wasn’t he?”Have you thought of a name for the new park yet? You can name it when you’re ready.’ Romeo’s fingers gently traced the girl’s soft, delicate cheek. Her beautiful face, every inch of her skin, was etched into his memory.
Mirabella, with her bright, clear eyes, nodded, “Sure.”
“Let’s grab something to eat first.” Romeo supported her waist and noticed Clark beside them, “How’s your injury, Clark?”
He’d heard from his men in Florida that Clark was injured while helping two old folks.
“It’s nothing, just a scratch.” Clark walked alongside them, “I heard from Bella that you’ve been secretly looking into Carol’s whereabouts for me and found that she was in the Triangular Zone a month ago.”
Without this crucial information from Romeo, he would never have found the Triangular Zone.
At first, he was a bit hostile towards his brother-in-law because it took him much effort to reconnect with his sister, and he didn’t want her to be taken away by someone else so soon. He was also worried that Romeo was just fooling around, not genuinely in love with his sister.
But after a few interactions, he saw that in Romeo’s eyes, there was only her. He was cold and ruthless in front of others, but in front of his sister, he was as obedient as a puppy.
“But I couldn’t find any more useful clues for you.” Romeo’s men had only managed to find out this much.
“It’s already very helpful.’ Clark patted him on the shoulder in return, trying to comfort him, “Even though we don’t know where Carol is hiding, the Triangular Zone isn’t big. As long as we keep looking, we’re bound to find her one day. I feel guilty for dragging you two into this.””You’re wrong to think that way. Your problems are our problems. Besides, we’re familiar with this place. It’s safer for you here than anywhere else.”
After Romeo finished, Mirabella added, “If you were to go to the Triangular Zone alone, that would be truly dangerous.”
It was a confirmed case of a lamb walking into a lion’s den.
The Triangular Zone was filled with gangs. An outsider would quickly attract attention and likely be bullied.
But with the backing of Group S and Mafia Flame, things would be different.
“Boss, should we bring up the other gift for Ms. Bella?” Carl suddenly suggested.
Mirabella and Clark were both surprised. Another gift?
Romeo looked at the girl, his tone full of indulgence, “The guys from Hell Base were looking for you, weren’t they? I heard from my men that they’ve had quite a few run-ins with Mafia Flame. Recently, they even came knocking, asking you to come to their turf within three days?”
With such a provocation, Mirabella didn’t bat an eye, but Romeo couldn’t stand it.
Mirabella lifted her gaze and asked, “So, you’ve nabbed their guys?”
“The plan is to string their boss up outside the Mafia Flame joint for three days and nights. A lesson to the rest; Romeo replied.
Mirabella thought, “wouldn’t that be a bit too ostentatious? Inviting trouble?”
“At this point, none of them are a match for either of our gangs.”
Romeo didn’t consider the other small gangs and factions at all, especially in the Triangular Zone. He could do anything without worrying about them.
“Just strip them and send them back,’ Mirabella suggested. She wanted to find Carol next and didn’t want any further complications.
Carl was a bit surprised. Was that all? Wasn’t that letting them off easy?
If it hadn’t been for his reckless orders, so many people wouldn’t have been doggedly pursuing Ms.
Bella in the past.
“Alright, as you wish, Romeo said, his eyes twinkling with gentle affection. It was her call on how to handle it since the person was already sent over.
“I’ll have them put him in a coffin and carried over, Mirabella instructed her subordinates.
Her henchmen didn’t know what to say. They felt that their boss was just as cunning as the head of Group S.They were like peas in a pod.
They wondered how the base would react when they saw their boss being sent back in such a manner.
Would they feel humiliated?
After entering the castle, Mirabella had someone set a place for Romeo at the table.
The subordinates inside were also stunned. They had never expected the head of Group S to show up here, let alone share a meal with their boss.
In the unseen corners, what kind of history did their boss and the head of Group S have to be so friendly all of a sudden?
Why did they seem like a family? The atmosphere was oddly harmonious.
And Clark, acting like a gracious host, said, “Romeo, have more. You and Bella have been working too hard those days.”
Everyone looked at each other as if asking: What’s happening? Were they seeing things, or were their boss and the head of Group § really dating with the family’s approval?
The two seemed inseparable, like a couple.
If this news were true, it would rock the entire Triangular Zone.
As Mirabella was eating, she brought up recent events one by one to share with Romeo.
The subordinates were stunned again. They never thought their usually quiet boss could say so much in one go.
Romeo listened with a smile, his gaze on her both indulgent and gentle. When she talked about the dangers she’d faced, he gently cleaned some ketchup fram the corner of her mouth, “Next timesomething like this happens, you have to take me with you.”
Even though he knew she was capable, he couldn’t help worrying. She had managed to dodge a bullet this time, but what about next time? Or the time after that?
Even a one in a one-in-a-million chance.
He couldn’t bear it.
Mirabella then shared the secrets she had cracked. Clark, at her side, suddenly felt like a third wheel.
When he had been with Carol, he never felt their relationship was particularly sweet. But now, tasting the sweetness of their interaction, he felt like it was overkill.
After a while, Mirabella’s phone vibrated. She checked it and saw that it was a call from Taylor.
“Bella, have you two managed to escape the danger? Did Clark seek medical attention? Is his injury serious? Is he alright?”
She had been worried sick, and as she hadn’t received a call from the siblings confirming their safety, she decided to call them herself.
“Clark is fine. None of his injuries are critical. As for the package Carol sent you guys, we’ve managed to decode a part of it. We should be able to locate her soon.”
Upon hearing this, Taylor was relieved. “Good, good, as long as you guys are safe, that’s all that matters.”
She didn’t want to be a bother, so after a few words of concern, she quickly ended the call.
After dinner, Romeo wanted to take Mirabella to Group S. She knew he wanted everyone to be aware of her identity.
Just then, one of his men came to report, “Boss, Dennis has arrived.”
Hearing a man’s name, Romeo’s eyes darkened slightly. Who was Dennis? He seemed to be someone of great importance.
“Where was he?” Mirabella seemed to take a keen interest in that man.
“He’s outside the castle, at the northwest gate. He seemed to be trying to avoid being seen.”
“Invite him to the drawing room.” Mirabella let go of Romec’s hand and gently said, “I need to take care of some business first. You and Clark stay put and wait for me to join you.”“Alright, be careful.” Romeo just patted her head, his eyes full of indulgence and tenderness, not giving any thought to anything else.
The girl was just going to handle some business.
The castle had a secluded drawing room on the first floor. As soon as Mirabella appeared, she saw a tall figure standing with his back to the window.
“You’re here?” Mirabella closed the door.
Dennis turned around, a black mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
Just by looking at his eyes, one could tell he was in his early twenties, about the same age as Mirabella.
“I heard you’ve returned to Mafia Flame. I came as soon as I could, hoping you could do me a favor.”
Dennis paused before making his request, “I need something.”
Mirabella smirked, “What was that?”
“A Starflower from the Medicinal Mountain, just one would do”
It was said that the most valuable plant in the entire Medicinal Mountain was the Starflower. There were only two left, and they could cure all kinds of diseases. Even the healthy would benefit from consuming it. It’s extremely valuable.
Many people had tried to get their hands on this precious plant before.
Mirabella gave a faint smile, “Do you know? Granny Grace has passed away.
Upon hearing the news, Dennis’ eyes widened in disbelief, evidently shocked.While shocked, his eyes also turned dull, “I’m sorry to have reminded you of such painful memories. It seems the Starflower really is just a rumor”
He knew how much Mirabella cared for Granny Grace. If Mirabella had the Starflower, there was no way she couldn’t save Granny Grace…
There was only one possibility, that is, there was no such thing as Starflower in the Medicinal Mountain.
It was just a rumor spread by other gangs, hoping to find an excuse to trouble Mafia Flame.
