Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Seeing Mirabella, she quickly approached her.
Mirabella saw her coming and chose to take another path.
But Serena quickly caught up with her. “I need to talk to you.””I don’t have time to listen.”
Seeing Mirabella continue to walk away without even a glance at her, Serena couldn’t help but run in front of her, blocking her path.
“I need to ask you. Do you have two tickets to the concert?”
“What’s it to you?” Mirabella was afraid that if she said too much, the man on the other end of the black bracelet would hear.
If he found out about their relationship, it could jeopardize David and the others.
But Serena persisted. “Are you feeling quilty? So, you do have the tickets to the concert. I need them.
Can you give them to me?”
A few question marks popped up in Mirabella’s mind. “Why should 1?”
“Just because I always give you the benefit of the doubt. You can go to concerts anytime you want, but my friend is really looking forward to that one. Consider it a good deed and give them to me.”
Mirabella was speechless. She walked away without giving Serena a second glance.
“Mirabella!” Serena called after her. “You already have so much! Can’t you even give me two concert tickets?”
Mirabella wanted to lash out at her but then remembered that their conversation would definitely be overheard by the man on the other end of the bracelet. So she ignored Serena and continued walking.
“Stop!” Serena was already upset from her encounter with Alma earlier, and seeing Mirabella’s attitude now only made her angrier.Why was Mirabella, who had grown up as a low-class person in the Melton family, ignoring her like that?
She reached out to grab Mirabella’s hand.
As Serena approached, Mirabella suddenly smelled something foul. She moved away slightly and raised an eyebrow. “Just crawl out of a dumpster”
Serena was taken aback. Was the smell really that strong? She had already changed into a new dress!
Was there still a smell?
“Really crawled out of a dumpster?”
Serena sniffed her own arm. There did seem to be a foul smell. It’s weird, she had just washed.
She didn’t have the energy to argue with Mirabella any longer. The nauseating feeling was rising, and in her frustration, she spun on her heel and stormed off.
At this point, her friends were waiting for her outside the restroom, puzzled.
It seemed like Serena knew Mirabella, and they appeared to have some sort of disagreement.
Was it due to the backstage incident that occurred earlier in the day?
“No one bothered to tell me I smell so bad!” Serena retorted, pushing past her friends and heading back into the restroom to freshen up.
Her friends covered their noses, “We didn’t smell anything off. Did Mirabella say you stank? Don’t listen to her nonsense. You don’t smell bad at all. Urgh, Not at all.”
Despite their reassurances, they kept their distance, merely standing by the entrance of the restroom.
Meanwhile, Mirabella left Summerfield College and hailed a cab, heading directly to place.
Mya, still in shock, felt like she was being followed. She hurried back to her dorm, recalling the moment when Mirabella hugged her and seemingly wrote something on her back with her fingertips.
She was too scared, too tense. She was dazed and had no idea what Mirabella had written on her back.
She forced herself to calm down, grabbed a pen and paper, and attempted to tecall every stroke Mirabella had made. After several tries, she was shocked to realize that the word was “Romeo”!
Was Mirabella trying to send a message to Romeo?Indeed, Romeo was influential, and there was nothing he couldn’t solve. She had met Romeo in the past, but she didn’t have his contact information.
What was she to do?
Desperate, she searched online for the company’s phone number and dialed it.
Mya listened to the automated message, finally hearing, “For operator assistance, press zero.”
She quickly pressed zero, holding her breath in anticipation.
Soon, a sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
“Hello, this is the front desk of McMllian Corporation. How may I assist you?”
“Hello, I have a phone appointment with your CEO. My name is Mirabella.
Could you please connect me?” Mya knew that if she gave her real name, the receptionist would not pay her any heed.
Even if the call did reach Romeo, he probably wouldn’t remember who she was.
“I’m sorry, but our company does not currently offer phone appointments.
May I ask who you are and when you scheduled a meeting with our CEO?”
“Just put me through to your CEO. It’s an urgent matter. If it’s delayed, you’ll surely be fired! I’m not trying to scare you!”
“Did you say your name is Mirabella?”
“Yes, I did.”“Please hold on. I’ll confirm this for you.”
Thankfully, the receptionist didn’t give her a hard time. Mya breathed a sigh of relief and waited anxiously for the call to be connected.
At this moment, Romeo sat at the conference table, listening to the Finance Director report on the financial state of the month.
When Carl received the call from the front desk, he quietly said to Romeo, “Ms. Bella is trying to reach you through the company’s phone line, claiming she has an appointment with you and it’s an urgent matter”
Although Carl found the call suspicious, he knew Bella was the kind of woman who would never use an expression as dramatic as “extremely urgent’.
And why would she contact him through the company line when she had his personal number?
This person was likely an imposter, pretending to be Bella.
But how did she know about Bella’s relationship with the boss?
Upon hearing the name “Mirabella”, Romeo gestured to pause the meeting and took the corporate phone from Carl.
“Hello, is this Mr. McMillian? I’m Bella’s friend, Mya. She’s in trouble.” Mya hurriedly explained the situation to him.
“Alright, I understand.” After hanging up, Romeo immediately stood up and left, his presence commanding the room.
The people in the conference room looked at each other in confusion until Carl spoke, “The meeting is adjourned for today.”
Seeing Carl about to leave, the director nervously grabbed his hand and whispered, “Carl, did I say something wrong? This month’s profit is not as high as last month’s because Mr. McMillian invested in several places, and…
“Mr. McMillian just had an urgent matter to attend to. No need to worry.”Relieved by Carl’s words, the director breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought his data or presentation had displeased Mr. McMillian.
Romeo had previously given Bella a black hair clip that could track her location. Now, he opened the tracking app on his phone and saw she was heading towards Mount North.
Just as Mya had said, Bella was heading alone to the top of Mount North, probably walking into an ambush.
Although he was worried about Bella’s safety, knowing that he was the first person she thought of in a dangerous situation, his heart warmed, and he hurried towards her direction.
As soon as Bella reached the top of Mount North, bullets began to rain down on her. She swiftly dodged them and glanced around to see she was surrounded.
Some people were hiding in the trees, others behind rocks, and a large group of masked men were lined up in front of her.
They had mobilized a lot of people to capture her.
Bella stood in an open area with no cover, making her an easy target, vulnerable to gunfire.
Despite this, she raised her head and coldly asked, “Where is my friend?”
“You should worry about yourself.”
The masked man leading the group spoke through a voice changer, sounding as cold as ice.
They threw several smoke bombs at her. Bella recognized the purple smoke as poisonous. She covered her nose and mouth and quickly retreated. The bullets fired at her through the smoke missed their target.When the smoke cleared, Bella was nowhere to be found. As they searched for her, Bella had already sneaked behind them. She knocked a few out, seized their weapons, and taken one of them hostage.
“Where is my friend?” Bella asked, her eyes cold.
“You do have some skills.” The leader laughed heartily and shot the man Bella was holding hostage.
Bella hadn’t expected him to harm his own man.
“Don’t worry, your friend will be waiting for you in the hell” The masked man laughed eerily. “If you’re smart, you’ll come back with us obediently, or else, your friend will die a painful death.”
Just then, a rattling noise echoed through the sky.
Everyone looked up to see a fleet of helicopters hovering above them. The masked man at the front narrowed his eyes, “You dared to call for backup?”
