Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
The man on the other end tried to lighten up the mood, “Mr. Sampson, at most the girls took a tumble while skiing. There’s no need for a doctor. I think they’re just being brats, need some disciplining.”
But Sampson cut him off, “Do I need to repeat myself for the third time?”
“No, not at all’ The man on the phone realized the gravity of the situation, hardly daring to breathe, “Please wait for us, Mr. Sampson, we’ll be there as soon as possible. We’ll definitely make things right!”
Sampson hung up and opened the door of the snowmobile, letting Mirabella in first.
Angela and Darlene were somewhat uneasy. Was Sampson calling their parents over because of that phone call?
Especially recently, both families were hoping for Sampson’s help.
Angela’s father wanted to acquire a piece of land in the west. He was competing with other corporations, trying to win Sampson’s favor to secure the deal.
Angela’s uncle recently had a confrontation at a casino owned by Sampson, causing some damage there.
Sampson hadn’t made a statement about the incident yet.Darlene’s family owned a mid-range car manufacturing company. They were quite wealthy, but her uncles were trying to undermine her father, hoping to collaborate with Sampson for mutual benefit.
There were countless matters like these.
Angela and Darlene knew very well that if Sampson decided to get serious, their families would be the ones to suffer!
Seeing the snowmobile leave, Angela and Darlene hurriedly asked, “What should we do?”
They couldn’t possibly walk through the snow, could they?
“If you don’t want to die ugly later, you better catch up and come clean with Mr. Sampson. Maybe he’ll go easy on you, a staff member suggested.
Angela and Darlene were in pain, and even walking was difficult for them.
As the snowmobile got further and further away, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and chase after it.
“Mr. Sampson, we can explain. We wouldn’t dare to hurt your niece even if we had the guts,”
“Everything we said is true. You can check if you don’t believe us.”
Because of their injuries, they didn’t use their snowboards, but ran after the snowmobile.
“We don’t know why your men lied. It wasn’t us who started the fight, we’re the victims. Wait until the medical examination results come out. You’ll see that we’re the disadvantaged party; “Mr. Sampson, don’t call our parents over. We can talk about anything.”
Since the snowmobile resembled a tour bus and had no windows, Mirabella could hear their words clearly.”Don’t let it get to you,” Sampson soothed Mirabella, “I’ll take care of it for you.”
“I did hit them,’ Mirabella confessed.
“The staff saw everything. They started it and you were only defending yourself,’ Sampson defended her, “Even if you started everything, so what? As long as I’m here, if you want to hit anyone. Just go ahead, I’ll take care of it”
Mirabella thought, “What? Wasn’t he being a bit too indulgent?”
“If you want to hit someone, it’s because that person deserved it. If you dislike someone, it’s that person’s fault”
Sampson said seriously, “In any case, it’s never your fault.”
“Uncle Sampson, don’t you distinguish between right and wrong?”
“With me, whatever you do is right,’ Sampson said, not forgetting to add, “The one who’s wrong can only be someone else.”
Ten minutes later.
The snowmobile pulled up to the resort’s own luxury restaurant, where staff rushed to serve Mirabella a smorgasbord of delectable dishes.
Other members of the staff hurried forward with thermal clothing, electric blankets, and hand warmers, afraid that Mirabella might be cold or hungry.
Louisa also rushed anxiously to her daughter’s side, “Sweetie, are you okay? Who had the audacity to harm you?
Sampson, did you find out who was responsible?”
“Quickly, tell Daddy where you’re hurt. I’ll call for a doctor right away,’ Kenneth was beside himself with worry, fearing that his daughter was in pain.
But Mirabella gently replied, “They’re the ones who got hurt, not me.”
“Really?” Louisa cupped her face, scrutinizing her carefully, even rolling up her sleeves and trouser legs to conduct a rough inspection. It seemed she was indeed fine.
She heaved a sigh of relief, hugging her daughter tightly, “As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.
When Sampson received that call, it scared us. Sampson, you still haven’t told us who they are. Did you find out?”
“They are Angela and Darlene. You don’t know them. I’ll handle it.””They must be punished severely, no mercy!” Louisa was distressed, “Such a peaceful Christmas Eve, and they had to cast a shadow on it for my precious girl. Come Bella, warm up and eat something.”
Meanwhile, Angela and Darlene were running out of breath. Just as they reached the entrance of the restaurant, they overheard the conversation and upon closer inspection, realized that the elegant woman, affectionately referring to Mirabella as “Sweetie”, was none other than Louisa.
It was common knowledge that Louisa was pampered by her husband, who reportedly followed her everywhere.
Looking more closely, they indeed saw Kenneth by her side, offering all kinds of delicious food to Mirabella, coaxing her to eat more.
How could this be?
How could Mirabella be their daughter?
The Collins family’s wealth was at least three times greater than theirs!
At that moment, two couples hurried over, followed by a panting doctor carrying a medical kit.
The restaurant door swung open, letting in a gust of snow.
“Mr. Sampson, I apologize for keeping you waiting!” The speaker was Angela’s father, who bowed deeply in apology upon entering.
Because Sampson didn’t speak any foreign languages, all the foreigners who wanted to curry favor with him had consciously learned English and spoke it fluently.
Angela’s mother shot Angela a fierce look, also bowing in apology, her demeanor elegant and aristocratic.Darlene’s parents, on the other hand, gave Darlene a hard slap on the back, blaming her for her reckless behavior.
“Don’t be too hard on her, or the blame for her injuries will fall on us” Sampson sat on a single chair, his eyes cold.
Darlene’s father wanted to say something, but Sampson raised his hand to stop him, “Let’s check the injuries first.”
“Mr. Sampson, this is just child’s play, we can’t take it too seriously. Even if they ended up bruised and battered here today, it would be due to their limited skiing skills and has nothing to do with you~”
Darlene’s father tried to appease Sampson, but Sampson raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
A bodyguard suggested, ‘Let’s have a medical examination.”
Left with no choice, both families had to allow the girls to be taken into the restaurant’s restroom for the doctor to examine any injuries.
After a while, the doctor emerged, medical bag in hand, and bowed respectfully to the gathered crowd.
“Apologies for the wait. I can assure you, on my honor and professional reputation, there are no bruises or wounds on them, not even minor injuries. They were complaining of pain, but upon examination, I found nothing wrong.”
At this, Darlene emerged from the restroom, anxiously running towards the group, “She really did hit us! I feel pain in my chest, stomach, back, everywhere hurts! How is it possible that you can’t find any injuries?”
Angela, having finished changing, also suspected foul play. Logically, if Mirabella had hit them so hard, there should be some visible signs of injury. at least some bruises.
If the doctor was hired by Sampson, she would suspect that he had bribed the doctor.
But Dr. Alan, was known for his honesty and never bowed to any influential figures. Both families have known him for years, and he always told the truth about any medical conditions.
Once, Angela tried to bribe him with a million dollars to get a sick note so she could take a month off school, but he declined.
How could such a person lie?But if he was telling the truth, how could Mirabella hit them so hard without leaving even a single bruise?
Angela ran to her parents, anxiously insisting, “We really are hurt, if you don’t believe us, we can go to the hospital to check.”
Upon hearing this, her father slapped her harshly.
“Enough with these antics! When will you stop?”
The sound of the slap was so crisp, it startled even Darlene.
She never expected Angela’s father to be so harsh.
“What on earth have you two been doing? First, you claim Mr. Sampson’s niece attacked you, then you insist on getting a medical examination. What is going on?”
Darlene’s father also demanded sternly, “Speak up now!”
Both girls were so scared they couldn’t speak. Angela covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Let me explain,’ Sampson, sitting in his chair, finally spoke. “Today is Christmas Eve, and I brought my niece to my ski resort for some fun. Then these two young ladies approached and provoked her, claiming that my niece was the reason I was invited to this event, and even insinuating that she has been used and abused numerous times.”
At these words, the parents of Angela and Darlene were stunned, a mix of fear and anger coursing through them.
“When they harassed my niece on the cruise last time, I warned them to be mindful of their actions and their surroundings. Today, they told my niece they thought this was a good occasion and started tobully her.”
At Sampson’s ski resort, they dared to say such things about his niece, and even attack her!
The parents of Darlene and Angela were furious to the point of faintness.
