NovelAppChapter 504 People outside always said Alberto was like a burning flame, but in front of everyone, especially Bella, he’s an energetic, adorable, and fun-loving old man! On the other side.
Zachary received a call at home: “What did you say? A mental hospital? I'm on my way.” Shortly after Zachary left, his mother got a shocking message: “The Murphy family bought that piece of land in the suburbs and paid 1.2 billion dollars on the spot? Aren't they about to go bankrupt? Where did they get so much money from?” After hanging up, she told her husband and anxiously asked, “Do you think the Murphy family was testing us before? Pretending to be poor to get our help? But we showed our true colors and pushed them away.” Zachary’s father nodded and said, “It's possible.” “1.2 billion, just like that. That's several times more than our assets!” Now that they've bought that piece of land in the suburbs, it's rumored to be worth a fortune, and owning it could reap several times the profit! “What if the Murphy family strikes it rich and Yolanda dumps Zachary?” Zachary’s mother was suddenly panic—stricken.
“Calm down; let's wait for Zachary to cback and ask about the situation. If they really did buy that land, we as parents need to show up at the engagement party in a few days, give the Murphy family due respect, and seal this marriage deal!” “But,” Zachary’s mother said, she couldn't stand Yolanda, be it looks, temperament, academics, or talents; she’s no match for Arabella! “Forget about Arabella; she’s a top scholar and a piano master; she won't even look at your son. Let's go, let's change, and get ready for tonight's charity gala.” “I heard Attlee dropped 1.2 billion today; he was invited to join tonight's charity gala on the spot. We must build good relations with them tonight, no matter what!” Zachary’s mother’suddenly regretted her previous attitude towards the Murphy family and hoped to make amends tonight.
Over at Reflections Villa Serena received several calls, her face getting grimmer with each one.
Martha couldn’t help but ask, “Serena, what's happened?” “My classmates’ parents attended a land auction today; my parents publicly admitted in front of everyone that the founder of QY is their daughter; they even stood up for her against the Murphy family.” Serena was getting anxious: “Now my classmates are askingwhat's going on, asking if Arabella was adopted by my parents? They also said they haven't been invited to my house for a while and want to cover in a few days! What do we do about Arabella’s identity? We can't let them find out I'm a fake heiress!” “Serena, calm down.” Just as Martha was speaking, the front door was pushed open. Kenneth, Louisa, Hans, and Arabella walked in together, their family of four laughing and talking, sight that deeply hurt Serena.
“Dad, mom, you're back? Brother, you're back from abroad? Sister, why did you cback together? Did you meet on the road?” “We attended a land auction with Bella today,” Louisa said, smiling at Arabella. “You go upstairs and rest for a bit; we'll eat something before we go to the gala.” The food at the charity gala was mainly for show; Louisa was worried Arabella would be too shy to eat properly, so she asked the chef to prepare sfood in advance.
“By the way, your dress for tonight is already in your room. Edith put it there.”
