Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
To avoid attracting attention, Kelly and Mirabella chose a private room.
The room was on the ninth floor of the yacht, considered one of the best rooms available.
All items in the upcoming auction would be projected onto one wall of the room, providing a panoramic view.
“Ladies, please follow me,” said a staff member leading the way.
“Kelly?”
Suddenly, a displeased voice rang out.
A well-dressed heiress, surrounded by a group of close friends, blocked their path.
Mirabella didn’t know who the rich heiress was, but the staff greeted her courteously, “Ms. Angela.”
Kelly looked at her, her brows expressing some displeasure, “Move.”
“My family is one of the hosts, and you’re telling me to move?” Angela looked down at Kelly, and then turned her gaze to Mirabella.
“Dressed in a baseball cap and black mask at night, are you here to rob?”
At her words, her friends laughed, looking disdainfully at Mirabella’s outfit.
Everyone boarding the yacht was dressed to the nines, as if they wanted to wear their wealth on their sleeves.
But people like Kelly and Mirabella dressed in casual wear were a first.
“Their outfits show a clear disrespect for our auction. I demand they be kicked out.”
The staff was in a quandary. Who would dare to kick out Miss Piper?
Setting aside her family background, she was a top VIP member of the club.
But Angela crossed her arms over her chest, arrogantly saying, “We’re abroad, not back home. Our family helped finance this yacht. As one of the hosts, if I say they’re not qualified to be here, then they’re not qualified!”
“Ms. Angela. Miss Kelly is a reqular of our club.”Before the staff could finish, Angela sneered, “I’m also a regular, and I have the power to fire you. I want you to kick them out within a minute, or you can get out of here!”
Kelly scoffed, “Whether we’re qualified to be here isn’t up to you! Your family may be one of the hosts, but what does that have to do with you? Do you believe that I could call your dad and have him deal with you?”
Angela, knowing her father’s temper, was instantly angered.
“Stop showing off. When you’re capable enough to be a host on your own, then you can bark at me.
You’re still wet behind the ears and already causing a scene.”
The surrounding guests were laughing, and her friends were anxiously trying to think of a comeback for her.
“You…” Angela was so angry that her face changed color.
“When Angela says you’re not qualified to be here, you’re not. If you’re smart, you’ll get out of here, or I’ll have security throw you out, and you’ll be the ones embarrassed!”
“Yes, that’s right. Who gave you the nerve to upset Angela?”
“This isn’t your home turf, the Piper family cant run wild here, get out.”
“Out!”
“Is this how you treat guests behind closed doors?”
At that moment, a dignified voice reached their ears.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, their faces changing. The staff was scared stiff and quickly stepped forward, respectfully greeting, “Mr. Sampson!”Sampson’s power in this country demanded respect from everyone.
Mirabella’s gaze landed on Sampson. She found him vaguely familiar, but couldn’t remember where she’d seen him.
He looked young, but he exuded a mature and steady aura, with a strong personal charm that was very attractive.
“So, doesn’t your club need quests anymore?”
As soon as Sampson finished speaking, Angela hurriedly explained, “Mr. Sampson, you misunderstood, she and I were.”
“Angela.” Sampson’s meaningful gaze fell on her, “There’s a limit to being willful”
Angela was at a loss for words, ‘I understand, Mr. Sampson.”
Perhaps she hadn’t expected Sampson to speak up for them. Her father always spoke highly of Sampson, saying he was a formidable character who deserved respect.
She dared not act rashly in front of her elders, and could only signal the staff.
The staff quickly apologized, “We’re sorry, Miss Kelly and Miss Mirabella. We’ve neglected you. Please come with us.”
Kelly turned back and thanked Sampson. Mirabella also nodded at him before leaving.
Sampson only noticed Mirabella when the two girls turned around. He hadn’t realized that one of them was the girl he’d met at the diner, the one who bore a striking resemblance to his sister.
Before Sampson could say anything else, Angela quickly apologized in a hushed tone, “I’m sorry, Sampson. I just had a little falling out with Kelly. I wanted to put her in her place. I usually treat the patrons of the club with respect.”
Upon hearing the name Kelly, Sampson couldn’t help but picture Mirabella’s face.
“Don’t bother them anymore.”
“Do you know them?” Angela was surprisingly upset. She hadn’t expected Kelly, that infuriating hussy, to have so many connections, even Sampson standing up for her.
“Do you remember when you threw a tantrum and your father cut off your allowance for three months?”
“Sampson, these are my friends, why are you bringing this up?” Angela turned a bit red, clearly embarrassed.
“You’re grown up now. Pick your battles wisely.”
“Yes, I will heed your advice”
As Sampson made his way to the private room, Danny, his trailing assistant, couldn’t help but whisper, “Mr.
Sampson, did you happen to notice that the girl we just passed looks a lot like your sister? Could it be possible that the big fire from years ago?””I’ve had my suspicions too,’ Sampson admitted in a low voice. “But she’s a Piper. If there was a mix-
up, the Pipers wouldn’t have been able to keep it a secret for all these years.”
“Could it be possible the Pipers never noticed?”
“Look into it.”
“Understood.”
Kelly and Mirabella were led to private room 9111 by the staff.
“So, what’s the deal between you and Angela?” Mirabella asked casually.
“We went to the same school. She always liked to compete with others, and we’d sometimes run into each other at parties our parents took us to. We’ve had a few unpleasant encounters.”
“Seems like we’ve both made some enemies.”
“No, she’s not even qualified to be my enemy. Kelly glanced at the time and patted Mirabella’s shoulder, “The auction starts in twenty minutes. I have to go.”
She had some business to attend to.
“Alright, be careful out there.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve traveled far and wide. You, on the other hand, should watch out for Angela. We don’t want her causing you any trouble.”
“I think she’s pretty scared of Mr. Sampson. I should be fine.”
“Still, better safe than sorry.’ With a few words of caution, Kelly left.Mirabella sat down on the couch in the room, exuding a boss-like aura. She sent Romeo a message on WhatsApp.
After a while, there was a knock at the door.
Mirabella instantly became alert. “Who is it?”
“Ms. Bella, it’s me. I’m sorry for the earlier inconvenience. I’ve brought a fruit basket and two bottles of red wine as an apology.
Mirabella opened the door to find the staff member from before. She stepped aside to let him in.
The staff member pushed his cart into the room and began unloading the items onto the table. “I’m really sorry for the unpleasant experience earlier. These are on the house. I hope you and Miss Kelly can overlook tonight’s incident.”
“Alright.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.” The staff member left after delivering the items.
On the table in front of Mirabella were a fruit basket, two bottles of red wine, some pastries, and lemon water.
She poured herself a glass of lemon water, gave it a sniff to make sure it wasn’t spiked, and took a sip.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the balcony. A person dropped onto her balcony.
