âMr. Rollins, I didnât expect to bump into you in this auction today.â Olga was taken aback, and a lump formed in her throat. She was ready to spill out all the grievances they had just suffered. They had been utterly embarrassed!
It might have been three to four years since they last met, but it didnât affect the friendship between the Murphy family and the Rollins family.
If it werenât for Mr. Rollins being abroad so often, she would have almost forgotten that the Murphy family had such a big shot backing them up.
Thinking about it, her voice choked even more. âYou saw what happened just now, and we,â
âYou guys crossed the line.â
Alberto Rollinsâ sudden accusation took the Murphy family by surprise. What the hell was he on about?
Wasnât Mr. Rollins supposed to have their back?
Seemed like heâs actually here to stir up trouble!
âMy granddaughter is being nice by not holding a grudge!â
Attlee was stunned; it took him a while to realize that he was referring to Arabella.
âMr. Rollins, youâre constantly abroad; you might not know. Arabella isnât a Murphy by blood; sheâs now with the Collins family. You donât need to treat her as your granddaughter.â
1 So, Mr. Rollins thought that Arabella was the daughter of the Murphy family, Graceâs granddaughter, and thatâs why he wanted to help.
Attlee breathed a sigh of relief. Good, that wasnât the case.
Speaking of which, Mr. Rollins was still a bachelor without any kids. If he could make Yoli his adopted daughter, she would be the sole heir to his massive fortune. âBut I still consider her my flesh and blood!â Albertoâs voice boomed, shaking everyoneâs hearts. âIn my life, I can negotiate on anything, but when it comes to my granddaughter, thatâs my bottom line. You crossed it today!â
The Murphy family was dumbstruck; they couldnât believe what they were hearing.
âTo my knowledge, my granddaughter has been ignored rather than cared for by you guys. Instead, your current status and position are all thanks to her!â
Alberto was dressed to the nines; even his voice was full of power, exuding an authoritative aura.
Now you dare to bully her in front of me. Someone should take them to the mental hospital for an evaluation. Letâs see if theyâre nuts.â
Before his words even finished echoing, a few people dragged them out.
âMr. Rollins, you have no right to do this.â Olga was terrified and struggling. âLet go of me; what are you doing? Let me go!â
âMr. Rollins, did you ever consider your friendship with my mother before doing this?â Attlee couldnât break free; he could only shout in protest. Albertoâs eyes were sharp and furious. âIf it wasnât for my friendship with Grace, youâd be spending the rest of your lives in a mental hospital.â The Murphy family looked shocked, unable to believe what was happening.
Yolanda couldnât stop crying. âGrandpa Alberto, Iâm your real granddaughter. You should love me. Iâm still young; please spare me.â
She wasnât crazy; she didnât want to go to a mental hospital for an evaluation!
Even if she had to be evaluated, she wanted to go to a normal hospital!
