Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
The servants at a distance were terrified.
Unfazed, Mirabella faced her, “Are you saying you’ve never had any of these before?”
Milk? Fruit? Not even as a child?
“Of course I’ve had it!”
“And yet you go and say that stuff is fit for dogs, so what does that make you, a dog?”
“You, you dare twist your words to insult me?” The rich girl stood up in a fury, her hand raised to slap Mirabella across the face.
But Mirabella effortlessly caught her descending hand.
“You dare grab me? Let go! I’m telling you to let go, do you hear me?”
With a swift motion, Mirabella pushed her away, and the girl stumbled back into her chair, her face turning a shade of red with anger!
“Are you one of Eunice’’s minions, sent here to provoke me? You have the same low-class manners as she does!” The rich girl pointed a finger at Mirabella’s nose and ordered, “I command you to pick up everything off the floor! Eat it all up!”
Mirabella regarded her with the kind of look one reserves for the mentally unhinged and asked nonchalantly, “And what if I don’t?”
“Then your end today will be particularly unsightly! Guards!”
Her entourage of seven or eight bodyguards surged forward at her call.
“Strip her of her clothes!” the girl demanded, eyeing Mirabella’s limited edition QY outfit with disdain.
Hah, as if a servant could afford such fine attire.“With her salary, she couldn’t afford it in a lifetime! Surely Eunice taught her some seductive tricks to weasel benefits from men!”
How else could a servant afford QY designer clothes?
It had been a long time since Mirabella had loosened her muscles, but today, the rich girl had ignited her rage.
“Struck a nerve, have I? Ashamed and angry?” the rich girl taunted. “The crooked beam leads to a crooked wall.
Strip her first, give her a beating, then send her to Eunice’s!”
“Don’t you dare disrespect Ms. Bella!“ From not too far away, a few servants finally mustered the courage and rushed over to shield Mirabella, “This is Ms. Bella, not some lowly servant as you claim”
“Ms. Bella? Never heard of her. Eunice’s illegitimate daughter all grown up now?”
“Watch your tongue! She’s the niece of Mr. Bard, Mrs. Collins’ own daughter. By rank, you are far inferior to her!”
“Louisa has a daughter this old? Did she also fall under Eunice’s influence, learning to sneak around with men?”
Mirabella stepped forward and took down several bodyguards in quick succession. Before anyone could react, she was already upon the rich girl, delivering a savage kick.
The rich girl hadn’t even processed what was happening when Mirabella slapped her repeatedly.
Grabbing the rich girl by the collar, Mirabella demanded, “My mother’s reputation is not for you to tarnish, understand?”The rich girl was stunned, her cheeks flushed from the slaps, her eyes reddening.
She couldn’t believe that she had been struck within the walls of the Bard estate!
“Has no one taught you manners? You throw a tantrum without considering whose territory you’re on!
Guards!”
Mirabella turned to a servant and asked, “Who is she exactly?”
“Mr. Bard’s aunt is her grandmother. Therefore, you are her elder sister.”
Elder sister?
A flash of satisfaction crossed Mirabella’s eyes, “Then today, your sister is going to teach you a proper lesson!”
The entire household staff was dumbfounded, hardly believing that Ms. Bella would dare strike Rose, the apple of Calvin and Bess’ eye, who had been doted on from birth.
Even Calvin himself tended to indulge her.
But today, Ms. Bella had hit her.
And she hit her hard.
On the floor, the seven or eight bodyquards watched Rose take a beating, too pained to rise, utterly powerless.
Mirabella didn’t hold back as she gave Rose a thrashing she wouldn’t soon forget, and with a swift kick, she towered over her and chided, “Hasn’t anyone ever taught you not to waste food?”
Rose was about to retort when Mirabella’s foot came down on her once more.
Flat on her stomach, Rose’s face was now mashed into the scattered fruits on the ground.
The onlookers were gobsmacked. Ms. Bella was fierce.
The scene was too satisfying to watch.
Unable to hold back her tears, Rose sobbed, “I’m going to tell my grandma, and she’ll have you torn limb from limb!”
“Oh, carry her inside,’ Mirabella’s command once again left the servants speechless.
What was Ms. Bella saying?
After giving Rose a beating, she wanted her carried inside for everyone to see? Shouldn’t this be covered up?
“She wants to tattle, right? Hoist her into the living room so she can spill her guts in one go. And bring those bodyguards too.”
After Mirabella finished speaking, she sauntered ahead.
The servants stood frozen for a moment before realizing Ms. Bella wasn’t joking and hurriedly called for help to carry the bodies.In the living room.
Bess had just savored a sip of her afternoon tea when Eunice signaled the bodyguards, and in a blink, they seized her.
The teacup crashed to the floor with a crisp sound.
“Eunice, what do you think you’re doing? You dare have people grab me?” Bess couldn’t believe this bold move from Eunice, who had the audacity to capture her in front of everyone.
“Do you really think so highly of yourself? Believing that with Bard backing you, you can do as you please? This family doesn’t revolve around your words!”
As Bess’ bodyguards were about to step in, Eunice’s laugh was cold and stunning, “Take one more step and see what happens.”
The bodyguards froze, not daring to make a move.
“You’re just dying to know if I’m playing clean with Alexander, right? Well, only Bard can answer that for you.
How about I send you over, and you can ask him yourself?”
Eunice’s beauty was as engaging as ever, but the domineering aura she exuded was chilling to the bone.
Mirabella had just reached the entrance when she overheard the conversation. No wonder the servants said Bess was a tough nut to crack, even daring to question something as salacious as one’s purity.
At that moment, Rose and her bodyguards were dumped on the living room floor.Bess’ eyes widened in shock as she saw her precious granddaughter beaten and bruised, her entourage not faring any better.
“Eunice, you even dare to lay a hand on my precious granddaughter?”
Before Bess could finish, Mirabella interjected coolly, “I was the one who hit her. If you have an issue, take it up with me.”
Bess turned, puzzled and annoyed, “And who might you be?”
Surprised to see the room in disarray, Eunice curled her lips into a smile.
“She’s Louisa’s daughter, recently returned to the fold. The Collins family has been treating her like a gem.”
Louisa had another daughter out there?
And she was all grown up?
“She must have been born from some affair.” Rose spat bitterly, battered and bruised, “Kenneth’s been cuckolded for years.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mirabella kicked a leather footstool nearby with such force that it flew across the room and hit Rose squarely in the face.
Rose was instantly dazed, her nose bleeding, a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.
“You dare hit her in front of me.” Bess was furious, pointing at Mirabella, “How could I have a niece like you?”
“Bella, you haven’t said why you hit her?” Eunice asked leisurely.
“She disrespected you and my parents, tarnishing your reputations, not a single civil word out of her mouth.”
Mirabella looked coldly at the figure on the ground, “If not her, then who?”
Eunice held back a smile, glanced at Bess, then looked at Mirabella with approval, “Seems like someone didn’t teach her manners at home, good job setting her straight, Bella”
Bess was livid.
