Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“You, you’ve got it wrong. We only have a Serena, there’s no Mrs. Bella. Why are you abducting me?
I’m, I’m not worth much. I’m just a housemaid, and you won’t get much by threatening me.
‘It don’t want money.’ The man’s tone was chilling.
Edith was terrified, ‘Wh-what do you want with me then. I can only do household chores, nothing else.”
‘Where is Clark?” The man brought the knife closer, his tone threatening.
*Clark??” Edith thought this man was an enemy of Clark. She quickly shook her head, “I don’t know.
We servants are not privy to the whereabouts of the masters.”“Don’t know?” The man brought the knife even closer.
Edith could feel the cold touch of the blade against her neck. She was scared out of her wits, “I really don’t know. Even if you kill me, I wouldn’t know where he’s gone.”
‘lm not his enemy, t won’t hurt him, and I won’t hurt you. ! just want to know where he is.”
Edith didn’t believe his words, especially since he was wielding a knife.
“I wish I knew where Clark was. If I did, I’d tell you, but I really don’t know, man. If you’re his friend, why not give him a call?”
If he had Clark’s number, he would have called already.
Seeing that the maid truly knew nothing, Dennis’ gaze darkened, “Do you know when he’ll be back?”
Edith shook her head again.
‘Don’t tell anyone about this,” Dennis warned.
“Don’t worry, even if I die, I’ll take this to my grave.” Seeing him loosen his grip on the knife, Edith’s heart raced, “Can I, can I go now?”
Dennis stayed silent, his gaze even more gloomy.
Edith quickly ran towards Reflections Villa.
Dennis watched her leave, about to make his own exit, when Romeo’s henchmen arrived.
Blocked by a group of seven or eight men, he began to fight.As soon as Edith entered the house, she saw a brawl behind her. Terrified, she quickly took out her phone, trembling as she recorded a video and sent it to Bella.
“Mrs. Bella, another group of men have arrived, and they’re fighting! The one with the black mask is the guy who kidnapped me, and he’s after Clark. Should I tell the mistress? Is Clark in danger?”
Bella opened the video. Even though it was blurry when enlarged and the faces were unclear, she recognized Dennis’s moves immediately.
“This is a huge misunderstanding.” Bella seemed to have figured something out. She looked at Rameo and said, “Tell your men ta stand down. It’s Dennis.”
The phones of both parties rang at once, and Romeo’s men, realizing it wasn’t Carl calling but their big boss Romeo, scrambled to answer.
Meanwhile, Mirabella dialed Dennis’s number. Hearing his unique ringtone, he assumed there was some emergency and picked it up without hesitation.
‘That’s my fiancé’s crew.”
Mirabella had barely finished speaking when Romeo was heard telling the person on the other end of the line, “Hold off, that’s my fiancée’s friend.”
Both groups were taken aback, looking at each other in disbelief.
“Retreat,” Romeo uttered a single command, and his men immediately obeyed.
Mirabella then asked with interest, “So, you came to my doorstep, kidnapped my maid, and started a fight with my fiancé’s crew. What’s your game?”
The information overload left Dennis stunned. What did she mean by ‘my doorstep’? ‘My butler’? These men were her fiancé’s crew?
“What are you doing my Clark?’ Mirabella appeared to have figured something out and asked, her lips curling into a mischievous smile.
Clark, whose name had been called, was utterly confused and had no idea what was going on.
‘Clark, is your brother?” Dennis was taken aback. He stared at the luxurious building before him, asking, “This is your place?”“What else?”
‘He really is your brother?”
“Yep: “Do you know where he might be?” Dennis hadn’t expected such a turn of events. “Diana had a final wish before she left.”
Diana was Carol’s nickname.
Mirabella listened to Dennis’s words, then turned to Clark and repeated his statement.
‘You’re saying Carol’s last wish was to take one last look at Clark. Just a video? Without disturbing his life?”
Just watching him from afar?
Clark felt both heartbroken and touched as he looked at the girl on the couch.
‘Exactly, he’s your brother. Do you have any recent videos of him? Send me one, or show Diana directly”
Had he known Clark was Mirabella’s Clark earlier, he wouldn’t have taken the long flight back home.
But it wasn’t too late. Mirabella was right beside Diana, ready to show her the video anytime.
“A recent video of Clark? I have one. I’ll send it to you in a bit.”
She was pretty close to Clark now.
After shooting a short video, Mirabella sent it over.Dennis opened it to find his sister Diana lying on the couch next to Clark. What on earth was happening?
“The guys from Inferno Clan located Carol’s hideout. Carol and I fought our way out and retreated to this castle; Mirabella explained succinctly. “Carol got a bit injured, but her life is not in danger. Her poisoning can still be cured. You don’t need to come over, we’ll catch a plane tonight, and you can see her tomorrow.”
Dennis was in disbelief, a mix of worry and ecstasy. “Diana can be saved? Can you do it?
Really?”
Diana’s condition had been deemed incurable by many renowned doctors.
He didn’t dare to harbor any hopes.
But Mirabella confidently replied, “Yes, she can be saved. We’ve already expelled some of the poison from her body.”
“And your level of certainty?” An excited Dennis asked.
“About seventy to eighty percent,” the girl on the other end of the line casually replied.
Seventy to eighty percent?
Dennis was overjoyed, his mind in a daze from the unexpected good news. He hadn’t expected Mirabella to be so capable.
Clark, standing nearby, gaped at his sister in disbelief. Could Carol still be saved? Could Bella bring her back? She’s 70-80% sure about it?
Meanwhile, Edith, who had been waiting for Bella’s response for quite some time now, saw another group hastily departing. She worried that if Dennis stayed, he might pose a threat to Clark.
The thing was, Dennis’ emotional rollercoaster, his alternating states of anxiety and jubilation, were reminiscent of a madman.
Edith picked up a long clothesline pole from the garden and, with stealthy steps, walked up behind Dennis, striking him hard.
Though Dennis was dazed by the overwhelming surprise, he was quick enough to seize the pole as he heard the noise behind him.
“til fight you!” Unable to retrieve the pole from Dennis’ grip, Edith was both anxious and furious.
On the other side of the phone, Mirabella heard Edith’s voice, and several question marks popped up in her mind. Was Edith personally disciplining Dennis?
‘I’m a friend of Mirabella’s, Dennis managed to explain while holding onto the pole.
“What, Mirabella? We’ve told you that there’s no Mirabella in our house. let go.” Edith stomped on his foot.
Dennis winced in pain and withdrew his foot. Edith quickly grabbed the pole and prepared to strike him again.“Mirabella, say something.” Dennis quickly switched the phone to speaker.
“Edith”
Mirabella’s voice came through from the other end of the phone, causing Edith to freeze mid-action.
“How do you have Ms. Bella’s voice on your phone?? Oh, no, that’s not right, we don’t have a Ms.
Bella. Don’t trick me with synthesized voices!”
‘Edith, Dennis is my friend. I forgot to tell you when you sent the video.”
Mirabella had only thought of making Dennis stop as soon as possible to avoid hurting the innocent and didn’t have time to reply to Edith’s WhatsApp.
“Ms, Bella? Is that really you?”
Edith had indeed sent a video to Mirabella. She was ecstatic but also appalled at the young man in front of her acting all shifty and crazy. How could Bella have such a friend?
And a guy at that.
‘It’s okay, go inside, Mirabella advised from afar.
