Chapter 98 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Yolanda, already frustrated, couldn’t stand her mother’s nagging anymore and got up, saying, “I’m going to the restroom.”

“Yoli.” Olga knew she was already stressed, but Zachary was such an outstanding figure–how many people would kill to be with him? Yoli had the upper hand; of course she should seize this opportunity! She absolutely couldn’t let this opportunity slip!

“You shouldn’t be pushing Yoli anymore! We can’t always be groveling to others! Demetrius was starting to get fed up.

“But if Zachary could come to the event, so many familiar faces here would be envious of us!”

Zachary’s status alone was enough to make people sit up and take notice of the Melton family!

“Moreover, if Zachary comes, that means he still has feelings for Yoli! Otherwise, at such an important moment, if the fiancé doesn’t show up, how much affection do you think he still has for Yoli?”

After hearing what she said, Demetrius also thought it made sense.

Yolanda came out of the restroom and had just finished washing her hands when she saw a familiar face passing by. She asked in surprise, “Mirabella? What are you doing here?”

Only those related to the competition or staff could enter this grand theater today!

Ordinary people like Mirabella couldn’t get in here at all!

Could she be working at the theater?

No way.

She could make a fortune in one night accompanying rich people; how could she bother with the peanuts she would earn working here? Yolanda suddenly got it: “I see, you’re here with some rich guy, huh?”

Mirabella was going to ignore her, but stopped when she heard what she said, giving her a cold look. “Your face doesn’t hurt anymore? Want another punch?” “Are you dare to hit me?.” Yolanda subconsciously covered her face and said, “I haven’t settled the score with you for last time!”

“Oh, well, now’s your chance.”

Yolanda gritted her teeth and was speechless. She could only resort to threatening her with her parents. “I warn you, my parents are here with me today!” “So what?”

“If you dare to bully me, I’ll let them punish you! You’ll be the one losing face!”

“Huh.” Mirabella found it funny; how old was she anyway, still using her parents to threaten people? Just how pathetic was she?

“What are you laughing at?” Yolanda seemed a bit nervous.

“Next time I hear you say ‘rich guy‘ or anything like that, I’ll cut off your tongue and feed it to the fish!”

Yolanda suddenly felt a pain on her tongue, and she said with bravado, “You wouldn’t dare!”

“Wanna bet?”

Mirabella was about to enter the restroom when, unexpectedly, Yolanda splashed her with some water, smugly saying, “Oops, my bad.” Although Mirabella reacted quickly and blocked some of it, her clothes still got wet.

Just as Yolanda was feeling smug, she didn’t notice Mirabella moving quickly like a bolt of lightning, delivering a hard slap on her face.

Smack!

The crisp sound echoed in the air..

Yolanda was taken aback, then touched her right cheek in disbelief and said, “You dared to hit me?“.

“I sure did.” Mirabella raised her hand again, aiming another slap at her other cheek. “I’m not Olga; I won’t indulge your bad habits.”

Yolanda was about to get angry when she heard a familiar voice.

“Yoli, are you alright?” Olga saw that her daughter had been gone for a while and was about to go check on her when she saw from a distance that Mirabella had slapped her daughter twice!

She was so angry that she lost control and saw that Yoli’s face was swollen! Both sides were red!

Yoli was supposed to present an award soon; this evil woman, Mirabella, must have done it on purpose!

Thinking so, Olga raised her hand to teach Mirabella a lesson.

But Mirabella easily blocked her wrist.

“You, let go of me.” Olga didn’t expect this girl to be so strong; she tried a few times but couldn’t break free. She gritted her teeth in anger and said, “I said let go of me; do you hear me?”

“Oh.” Mirabella finally let go of her grip.

Due to the sudden release, Olga stumbled and fell. Yolanda tried to help her up but got her skirt stepped on, and they both ended up sprawled on the floor, heads colliding in a comical fashion.

“You little rascal.” Olga pointed at Mirabella, too angry to even stand up.

“Do you think you can just hit Yoli’s face without any repercussions? Last time, you had your friends gang up on her, and now you dare to bully her in front of me. If you don’t apologize to Yoli today, we’ll let everyone judge you!”

“Fine.” Mirabella agreed surprisingly easily; she carelessly said, “Let’s have everyone judge then. And while we’re at it, let’s see if copying other people’s piano pieces can win you a runner–up trophy.”

“What are you on about? Don’t frame Yoli!”

“Whether I’m framing or not, ask her.” Mirabella’s gaze fell on Yolanda, who looked utterly unconcerned.

Yolanda felt uneasy. She hadn’t expected Mirabella to discover this so quickly. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Do you have any evidence?”

“Yeah, do you have any proof that Yoli copied someone else’s piano piece? Even if she did, how would you know? Do you even know how to listen to piano music?” Mirabella had a piano bought for her by Grace in the past, but she hardly ever played it.

Don’t go around accusing people of plagiarism just because you know a bit about music!

“I get it! You’re just jealous because Yoli won second place, so you deliberately came to the theater to embarrass her? You’re so cunning! How could the Melton family raise someone like you?”

“Who raised who?” Mirabella raised her indifferent eyes and sheered, “Did I ever spend your money?”

“Isn’t the Melton family’s money my money?”

“That’s Granny Grace’s!”

“Fine, you mischievous child! I won’t argue with you about this; are you going to apologize or not?” Olga’s voice had attracted a few onlookers.

Feeling embarrassed, Yolanda tried to pull Olga away, saying, “Forget it, mom.”

“No way, I’m going to make her apologize to you today!” Olga was set on getting an apology from Mirabella.

“Mom, there are other people watching.” Yolanda was afraid the reporters would come over and say, “Let’s not argue with her; let’s go. We’ll have other opportunities.”

It didn’t have to be here!

“Let go of me. Let me teach her a lesson. Don’t worry, I’m here!”

“Are you guys done?” Mirabella was losing her patience. Were they really going to argue about this? Didn’t they care about their dignity at all?

“We’ve already let you go. What more do you want?” Yolanda had never seen someone so ungrateful. Was she not satisfied until she had antagonized everyone?, “Oh, of course, I want you to apologize.”

“Apologize? Me?” Yolanda was taken aback.

Olga was even more stunned. “You want Yoli to apologize to you?”

Had Mirabella lost her mind?

“How can you guys not understand what I’m saying? Let me repeat, apologize.” Mirabella said slowly and clearly, “If you don’t apologize, I’ll have the staff pull up the video surveillance from the hallway.”

While the camera didn’t cover the washbasin area, they could clearly see the spot where Yolanda had splashed water on Mirabella!
