Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Meanwhile, charities overseas were hitting the headlines, and as their popularity grew, some discovered that the same high-profile figures were pulling the strings behind these organizations. Not only were they fabricated in the field of charity, but they were also found to be fraudulent and corrupt in other matters.
Several involved individuals were suspended and under investigation.
This whirlwind of controversy swept across multiple countries, causing an uproar.
The Gellar family.
“Dad, you wanted to see me?”
At this moment, Myrna entered the study of their mansion and couldn’t help but ask this question as she looked at the composed and cultured man sitting in the chair.
“Myrna.”
The man in the chair emanated a powerful aura, yet he looked easy-going. He spoke to her in a kind and gentle tone, “Have you completed your tasks?”
Myrna was taken aback. Usually, her father wouldn’t inquire about her work.
Nevertheless, she nodded, “I just got home, and you called me in. Is something the matter?”
“Doesn’t Chasel have a sister named Mirabella?” Aaron cut straight to the chase.
Surprised at her father’s question, Myrna nodded, somewhat puzzled, “Yes, but why?”Aaron looked at her with admiration in his eyes, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I can tell that Chasel is ambitious. Invite him over to our place when you get a chance.”
A look of surprise and disbelief crossed Myrna’s eyes, “Dad, are you okay with us dating??”
Her father used to rarely pry into her work and love life, but now, he was taking the initiative to extend an olive branch, inviting Chasel to their house.
What did Mirabella do??
She caught Aaron’s attention and even brought Myrna’s relationship into the spotlight.
“It’s about time you started dating.” Aaron had just finished speaking when his secretary whispered something into his ear. Aaron nodded and waved Myrna out of the room.
Myrna found herself outside the study and then in the living room, unsure of how she got there.
Spotting the housekeeper, Phoebe, she hurriedly stopped her, whispering, “Phoebe, has there been anything important happening at home lately?”
Phoebe, who always kept close to Mrs. Gellar and was also the housekeeper, naturally knew a thing or two.
Seeing Myrna’’s rare, playful side, Phoebe smiled elegantly and answered affectionately, “If we’re talking about recent big news in the house, it’s that your father is retiring in a month “What does that have to do with Chasel?” Myrna asked, puzzled.
Maintaining her elegant smile, Phoebe reminded her once again, “Chasel is Ms. Bella’s biological brother.
“And how does that matter?” Myrna still didn’t understand.Phoebe whispered into her ear again, “All the recent news and the major events were orchestrated by Romeo, the young master of the McMillian family, and Mirabella, the daughter of the Collins family-“
Many involved individuals were already under investigation.
Those who could manipulate public opinion both domestically and internationally, bring so many people down, cause such a development without getting their hands dirty, and guide the situation in a better direction, not to mention Romeo’s underground power, even Mirabella’s influence was beginning to draw attention, was indeed powerful.
“All the recent news is related to Bella?” Myrna was stunned. She had indeed noticed recent news online, but she had no idea that it was all related to Bella, let alone that Bella and Romeo had stirred up such a storm behind the scenes.
Phoebe repeated her warning, “Mr. Aaron is about to retire, and his connections won’t be as strong then. Some rival forces have been completely uprooted by Ms. Bella. Now, about forty percent of the forces are caught in the whirlpool, unable to save themselves. Another forty percent are too busy to protect themselves, and the remaining twenty percent are nothing to worry about. When he retires, he can enjoy his golden years in peace.”
So that was it.
Mirabella’s actions were essentially helping her father clear obstacles and ensuring his safety.
“So, Bella could be in danger?” Myrtna’s first reaction was for Mirabella’s safety.
After all, with such a big event involving so many people, how could Bella ensure she wasn’t involved??
“No way, I need to get Mom and Dad to help secretly. Bella can’t get hurt.”
Chasel only had one sister, more precious than gold.
Besides, she really liked Mirabella.
“Miss, please calm down. They already have plans.”
Phoebe didn’t say whether they would help or not, but Myrna understood her meaning.
Myrna’s heart settled, her mood lightening a bit.
On the other side.In a dim room, a secretary walked in, reporting to the man inside, “Sir, those old guys had clearly retired, but now they’re sticking their noses in again. I don’t know what’s so special about that young girl that so many people are willing to help her.”
She was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
People from the Triangular Zone said she was not only skillful but also had connections with the Mafia Flame and Mafia C.
In the country, not only did several respected elders use all their connections to protect her, but several big families were also on her side.
Including the Collins family, the McMillian family, the Archer family, and so on.
Not to mention how ruthless Hans, the current head of the Collins family, was, while Romeo of the McMillian family was no pushover either. He was downright terrifying.
And there was Erlinda Archer, who reportedly wanted to adopt Bella as her goddaughter, but she refused. Later, she adopted the girl as her niece, spoiling her to the extreme.
“Now several families are all out in force, and it’s tough for us to touch her”
The secretary said, troubled, “Especially domestically.”
There were too many forces protecting the girl domestically.
It would be easier to make a move overseas.
“So you’re saying we just have to let a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl wreak havoc and ruin everyone’s future?”The man’s voice was calm, like the calm before a storm, but the secretary could sense the suffocating presence of death.
He broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling, “I will find a way to make more troubles for her. She must pay the price!”
“Just pay a small price?” The man seemed unsatisfied with this punishment.
The secretary became even more fearful, “She’ll be torn to shreds”
“Those folks are looking out for her, aren’t they?” The man proposed a Strategy, “Break them down one by one. Let’s see who will dare to support her afterward.”
It’s one thing to mess with his career but to dare harm his interests.
“She’s still too young, too naive, thinking the world is all white, then she can’t stand a speck of dirt.
Seeing a bit of darkness at the tip of the iceberg, then she rushes to eradicate it, thinking that once it’s gone, the world will be clean:
The man laughed and shook his head, seemingly mocking the girl’s innocence and simplicity.
“White is just a small part of this world. The real darkness lies beneath the iceberg. Digging it up can change the world? No, she doesn’t realize she’s digging her own grave.”
“Well said!” The secretary hurriedly agreed, “She’s still too young, thinking she’s invincible because she’s got people backing her up, not realizing how many people she might drag down with her..Let reality give them a lesson, show them who’s really in control of this world”
In the lab.
Mirabella isolated 981 types of toxins from Carol’s blood. The toxicity was so high that the lab mice died instantly upon licking it, not even having time to ingest the antidote.
Mirabella had just developed a few antidote combinations, unsure if they would be helpful for Carol’s poison. She could only systematically analyze them, then merge these antidotes into the toxin and feed it to the lab mice.After three days of hard work, there were finally results. The mice that consumed the poison laced with the detox pill didn’t die instantly, nor did they convulse in pain. Instead, they were lively and hopping as if nothing had happened.
There was finally hope.
Mirabella’s eyes softened. If the mice could remain healthy and full of vitality, it meant that the detox pill could cure Carol’s poison.
Although she felt that things wouldn’t be that easy, at least her efforts in this direction were correct. The progress made over these days was enough to give her comfort.
Her phone vibrated at that moment. Seeing that it was Clark calling, she quickly picked up.
“Clark, what’s up?”
“Bella, Carol’s poison is acting up again. She’s in a lot of pain, just like that day in the castle. Can I give her the two pills you gave me?”
Before, Mirabella had said not to give Carol the pills unless there was no other choice.
Because Carol’s body was very weak and might not be able to withstand the strong effects of the medicine.
“Give her half a pill, and then pay attention to her condition. If something’s off, call me” Mirabella instructed.
“Alright.”
Clark quickly complied.Not long after, Mirabella’s phone vibrated again. She thought it was Clark, but when she picked up, it was Grandpa Beck.
“My dear girl, you’ve been stirring up quite a storm lately. It’s like watching a grand theatre production for me, one act after another, so thrilling,” Grandpa Beck’s jolly voice came through the phone.
Mirabella couldn’t help but smirk, “Did you call just to tease me?”
“Of course not, I’m happy. I’m proud that my granddaughter is so ambitious and daring. Your courage testified that I didn’t train the wrong person. You’re the best candidate to inherit my legacy, no doubt.”
Again, the talk about inheriting his legacy.
