Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
If Ms. Bella had been there, she definitely wouldn’t have let those people get away!!
“It’s okay,” Mirabella said calmly, “my people were lying in wait outside. They’ve probably already caught them by now.”
She had previously instructed Tom to keep a team concealed around Reflections Villa, all for this day.
Tonight, with Bernard, Cornelia, Kenneth, and Louisa kidnapped, and her five brothers not home and the house empty, it was the perfect opportunity to strike.
She took out her phone to call Tom, sure enough, Tom reported they had just apprehended the suspects after a lengthy chase.
“Boss, I’ll bring them to Reflections Villa right away,” Tom said with a note of pride in his voice.
“Good job,” Mirabella praised.
Ending the call, she tapped her phone, “I installed micro-cameras in the basement.”
She projected the footage from the cameras onto the TV SG reyne around te spehroostas group of Kate-teh masks and casual clothes had burst into the basement.

They aidi’t find the person they were looking for and made a call, reporting, “Erik is not here. Every room is empty.”
The voice on the other end seemed to order them to retreat. After the call, they set the basement ablaze and swiftly left the scene.
“They came for Erik.” Louisa realized, “They thought Erik was still alive.
That means t pastettindwho Fompe@Ek take poison wants to take him back or kill him on the spot.
It seems Erik must have something on that person!”
“This also shows that person has been secretly spying on our lives. It’s terrifying.” Kenneth remarked.
“Oh, boss, this is the phone Martin wanted me to give you.” At that moment, Jones finally remembered the task at hand and handed the smartphone to Mirabella.
The phone had been cracked by Thomas, and as Mirabella scrolled through, she found Erik’s last words to Serena, along with all the information related to the mastermind. She projected it directly onto the TV screen.
Everyone in the room was left in shock, their emotions a tangled mess of grief and disbelief.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
Alma was sleeping soundly when a frantic knocking at her door startled her awake. Rubbing her eyes with irritation, she opened the door and grumbled, “What’s with the knocking? In the middle of the night, why disturb people’s sound sleep.”
“Miss, we’ve gotta go quickly.” her nanny was pulling her arm to leave, then suddenly remembered something and pulled her back, “Grab your passport, jewelry, and whatever else you need.”
“What for?” Alma asked impatiently, “It’s so late, what’s gotten into you?”
But Lina didn’t have time to explain; she hurried Alma towards the safe, urging her desperately, “Hurry, punch in the code. We’re in deep trouble, and if we don’t move now, it’ll be too late. Hurry.”
It was the first time Lina had ever spoken to Alma with such urgency, which gave Alma an ominous premonition. She even pressed the wrong digit while entering the password.
Lina was beside herself with panic, “Everyone’s ready; it’s just you we’re waiting on, hurry up.”
Alma tried again, only to press a wrong digit once more.
It wasn’t until the third attempt that the safe beeped twice and swung open.
Lina quickly grabbed a bag, stuffed everything inside, and then pulled Alma to run.
“Lina, what’s happening. I’m still in my pajamas.”
She wasn’t just in her pajamas; she felt barefoot and cold, running across the frosty floor.
“You’d better ask the master and madam. All I know is that there’s been a major incident at home, and now we’re all heading abroad to lay low.”
As Lina dragged Alma toward the family’s private helipad, Alma saw her parents and sister, also laden with belongings, racing towards the helicopters.
It was the first time she had seen her parents and sister in such a state of panic.
Then a servant came running up, gasping out, “Master, Madam, bad news. The five young masters have led people storming in.”
“Run.” Beverly gripped Alma’s hand.
Alma had no clue what was happening.
As the family of four ascended the aircraft’s stairs, five eG ing yaurig I

“Where could my dear aunt and uncle be going this late hour?” Hans’s voice sent a chill down the family’s spines.

Clark smirked, “Uncle, aunt, what a pleasant surprise. Wouldn’t it be a loss if guns went off accidentally?”
Sean toyed with a grenade in his hand, “This is a gift from Bella, though I haven’t tested its power yet.”
David chuckled, “We’d like to invite you over for a chat andsgmereulat aus ploger MindltHe’tWvo sisters should come as well.”
Half an hour later.
The family of four of Lucas was invited to Reflections Villa.
Bernard and Cornelia sat in the main seats of the living room, their faces with anger and disappointment.
On the sofa to the left were Kenneth and Louisa, looking as calm as the eerie stillness before a storm. To the right sat Mirabella, her expression unreadable.
Romeo knew what followed was a private matter for the Collins family, and as an outsider, he had excused himself half an hour earlier.
The five brothers came in one after another, each carrying designer shopping bags from various brands.
Jewelry and valuables were dumped onto the coffee table, quickly piling up into a glittering mound along with the family of four’s passports, bank cards, and other personal items.
Bernard was livid, striding over to his second son and grabbing handfuls of the jewelry, hurling it at him with fury.
Alma was petrified, wondering what exactly had happened and why her grandfather was so angry.
“You ungrateful wretch!” Bernard’s voice trembled with rage. “You think you can escape after everything’s been exposed? To think I, Bernard Collins, raised someone like you.”
It seemed his anger was insatiable, and he struck Lucas across the face several times.
Lucas kept his head down the entire time, not once lifting his gaze.
Alma, however, became anxious. “Grandpa.”
“Shut up.” Bernard’s furious voice sent chills through the family.
Especially Alma, who was utterly shocked.
Never in her life had her grandfather spoken to her in such a tone, let alone yelled at her in anger.
Bernard was too angry for words. He glared at his son and then turned his gaze to Beverly, his anger turning to a bitter laugh.
“Well, the two of you are quite the pair. I, Bernard Collins, have lived a good long life, and never thought I’d be played for a fool by my own son and daughter-in-law.”
“Murder, arson, hiring hitmen, money laundering. What is it you two haven’t done?”
Bernard’s roar was like thunder, leaving Frederica and Alma completely shocked. How could their parents.
With a crisp sharp, Cornelia stepped forward and slapped Beverly across the face.
“From the day you married into the Collins family to this moment, we have never wron ed yoycand fer ea not only did you not stop him, you egged him on, abetting his crimes. You’ve disappointed me beyond words.”
Seeing her grandmother so enraged, Alma hurriedly interjeeted, “QEdndrhs, oye nereibe Some kind of misunderstanding.”
Her mother had always been the perfect daughter-in-law in her grandmother’s eyes.
“Misunderstanding???” Cornelia was visibly upset, “Bella, show them the evidence.”
Alma looked at Mirabella. Was she causing trouble behind the scenes again?
Ever since Mirabella had been recognized by the farplyca series of i paps had aged the household.
Mirabella proceeded to cast the evidence from Erik’s phone onto the TV screen.
Over the years, every mishap at Collins Corporation, every peril Kenneth and Louisa faced on their travels—they were all orchestrated by Lucas and Beverly.
Especially during the early years when Kenneth took over the company, Lucas and Beverly had a number of schemes against him, leading to widespread doubt in his abilities, nearly costing him the position Bernard had entrusted to him.
Frederica and Alma were in disbelief. The idea that their own parents had been secretly sabotaging their uncle and aunt for over a decade was unimaginable.
