Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
If she’s visiting as a mistress, wouldn’t that hinder Phillip’s recovery!
“Mirabella’s real family seems to be quite wealthy: I doubt she’d do such a thing”
Hearing Zachary’s comment, Yolanda seemed surprised. “Zachary, are you defending Sis? If her real family is indeed wealthy, why would her family let her serve old men in hotels? You saw it too, she was intimate with that old man, like lovers.”
Zachary was instantly reminded of Mirabella holding the old man’s hand, and he felt imitated.
Yolanda took the chance to exaggerate, “If Sis‘ real family is truly wealthy, easily whipping out billions in cash. Her parents would have to be at least provincial tycoons or even national tycoons”
“But apparently, this is unlikely That British luxury car that day could’ve been some old man’s, and that servant might’ve been lying. If her real family is indeed wealthy, why would she be at the hospital waiting for the old lady to wake up, she’s been there several times!”
Olga thought to herself, “She must be waiting for the old lady to wake up, so she can stay with the Melton family”
In that case, Mirabella’s parents really weren’t rich.
Just then, a few bodyguards received word and started to drive people away
“Phillip isn’t seeing anyone today. Everyone please leave, don’t stand around here, you’re blocking the air”
“But that girl just went in.” Yolanda gently smiled and spoke, “Sir, what’s the relationship between that girl and Phillip inside? Can you tell me?”
The bodyguards instantly felt disgusted seeing her pretend to be innocent. They’ve worked for the McMillian family for years and had seen many people like her. Seeing the bodyguards not responding. Yolanda felt awkward. Because plenty of people were watching, she had no choice but to tough it out, “Sir, truth be told, that girl is my sister”
“Well, since she’s your sister, ask her yourself,” the bodyguard responded.
Olga pulled Yolanda back, not wanting her to embarrass herself any further
However, Mrs. Panter was quite disgusted by this girl’s shameful behavior
Many people left, yet many still lingered, waiting for Phillip to come out
After a while, the door to the ward opened.
Mirabella came out supporting Phillip, leaving everyone stunned!
Phillip looked lively and was happily chatting with the girl. She obediently nodded along, the scene was warm and harmonious, it felt like a family! Executives from a few small companies were dumbstruck, then hurriedly rushed to Phillip
But they were all blocked by the bodyguards.
“Phillip, are you being discharged?”
“Can you spare me five minutes?”
“I only need a minute!”
“Phillip, Phillip!!
Phillip ignored the clamor behind him, chatting and laughing with the girl beside him as they headed toward the elevator
Brodie followed behind them carrying the luggage, looking every bit the dutiful servant
“The relationship between Sis and Phillip seems more complicated”
Yolanda was green with jealousy. She sneered, “They’ve been inside for so long, who knows what they’re up to. They’re up to no good, are they?” “Yoli” Olga got the drift. Phillip’s bodyguard was up ahead. If he overheard, it would only cause more trouble for the Melton family!
Yolanda bit her lower lip, watching their retreating figures with a sullen look.
How great it would be if she were with Phillip.
About fifteen minutes later.
The car pulled up in front of a serene and elegant villa.
This was Phillip’s residence, sprawling over tens of thousands of square meters.
The villa boasted a European–style design with classic elements like Roman columns and French doors, complemented by a sophisticated white exterior paint, exuding an air of opulence.
“Bella, we’re home!” Phillip called out cheerfully, “Let’s sit in the yard. fill have coffee prepared. Any afternoon tea you fancy? I’ll have it made on–the–spot.” “No need, Grandpa, Mirabella smiled softly and politely declined, “I still have work to do, so I won’t be going in.”
Phillip’s excitement deflated, “You’re leaving?”
“Ms. Bennett, you’re already at the doorstep, why not take the day off?” Brodie also took a shine to her and tried to persuade her to stay, “Come in, rest a bit, have some coffee and food?”
“I have things to deal with at the office, Mirabella replied gently, “Maybe next time.”
“When do you finish work? I’ll have Romeo pick you up.” Phillip was reluctant but didn’t want to interfere with her work, “Come dine with me tonight, we can have a chat.”
“Phillip’s not fully recovered, he needs Ms. Bennett to check” Brodie started to say, then quickly gave Phillip a meaningful look
“Oh, my heart.” Phillip immediately started acting, “Bella, can you check on me again tonight? I feel a bit uncomfortable here.”
Mirabella saw through his exaggerated and poor acting but chose not to expose him, she just smiled, “Alright”
“Fantastic! What do you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it Phillip said, then realizing he was getting overly excited, he faked a cough, his voice weak, s there anything you can’t eat?”
“I can eat anything,” Mirabella’s eyes were bright, and she said, “Don’t prepare too much”
“Okay!” Phillip was as happy as a kid, TIl send you to the office first After work, come over with Romeo”
“Okay”
Once Mirabella left, Phillip immediately perked up, grinning, “So, how did I do just now?
Brodie made a gesture with his thumb and index finger, “A bit over the top
“Really?” Phillip locked at the direction the car was leaving. Till pay more attention to my acting next time.”
Once inside, he dialed Romeo on his phone, sounding determined.
“I don’t care how urgent your matter is, you must pick up Bella after work tonight and come over for dinner”
“Okay.” Unexpectedly, the man on the other end agreed promptly, without even a half–second of hesitation.
Phillip was puzzled. Why did he agree so quickly? Did he mishear?
“Im warning you, don’t do anything inappropriate with Bella!”
“She finishes work at five,” Romeo’s deep voice came from the other end, “We’ll be there before six”
In other words, he needed to have dinner ready before six.
Phillip was puzzled again.
Phillip was left scratching his head. Did he hear that right? Was that mischievous tyke really saying this?
“As for dessert,” Romeo, who seemed to know Mirabella’s tastes like the back of his hand, elaborated, “She doesn’t have a sweet tooth for chocolate. Maybe you can whip up something with strawberries instead.”
After hanging up the phone, Phillip was still feeling perplexed. His grandson was suddenly a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Brodie, misunderstanding Phillip’s dilemma, decided to step in and lend a helping hand. “Phillip, I’ve noticed the young master and Ms. Bennett’s relationship is moving at a snail’s pace. Should we give them a nudge tonight?”
“Got any bright ideas?” Phillip was all ears.
Brodie laid out his scheme. Seeing Phillip flash a satisfied grin, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, I have the room prepared in advance”
Meanwhile
Mirabella took the elevator up to the twentieth floor of the company building, spotting her assistant, Dean, waiting for her by the office door from a distance
“Ms. Bennett!”
Upon seeing her, Dean came forward at once, “You’re finally here! Mr. Oscar has been asking for you!”
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, clearly unfamiliar with the name.
“He’s the big shot sent by the headquarters. Before you joined the company, he was the top dog”
“Why haven’t I seen him at previous meetings then?”
“Uh,” Dean hesitated, finally murmuring. “He’s hardly ever at the office”
“Busy with outside meetings?”
“Not exactly.”
Mirabella got the picture, “Tell him to come over,”
“Yes,” Dean was about to fetch him
