Mrs. Panter said with superiority. âThose corporations have made it clear. Anyone who helps will meet the same fate.â
Mrs. Panter wouldnât gamble everything the Panter family had for the girl her son liked and this impossible engagement!
Yolanda didnât expect Mrs. Panter to refuse outright. Her hands clenched into fists under the table. This was blatant disrespect to their family!
Zachary also let out a low, âMom!â
Zacharyâs father quickly said. âLetâs think this through. Letâs eat first and talk later!â
âRight.â Attlee got his message, poured a glass of wine to toast him, and said, âI almost forgot to thank you for helping to book a VIP room for Yoliâs grandma and asking the doctor to take extra care of her.â
Upon hearing this, Mr. Panter said, âNo, we didnât. Itâs really hard to book a VIP room at Hope Hospital.
How could we possibly do that? We donât have any connections thereâ
The Murphy family was stunned. Who booked it? Who asked the doctor to take good care of the elderly woman?
Suddenly, Attlee and Olga both remembered what Caden had said. Could it really be Arabella?
No way?
On the other side.
After having dinner with her parents, Arabella was about to leave when her phone buzzed. She had some business to take care of âDad, Mom, you guys go ahead. Iâm going to use the restroom. Iâll be right there.â
âTake your time, no rush!â After Louisa left, she whispered to Edith, âYou wait for her and leave with herf âAlright.â Edith waited in the private room. After a while, she saw Arabella coming out of the restroom.
She went up and respectfully said, âMs Bennett, the car is waiting for you outside!â
âAlright, letâs go.â Arabella was replying to a message on her phone as she walked.
Just as they left the private room, a few people appeared in the corner. Edith quickly tugged at her sleeve and said, âMs. Bennett, watch out!â
The people who came out were from the Panter family and the Murphy family Olga saw Arabella coming out of the topâtier private room, and and when she saw the well dressed woman who called her âMs. Bennett,â she was taken aback âHold on.â Olga hadnât quite digested the title, pointing at Arabella, she asked Edith, âWhat did you just call her? Is she your young lady?â
âWho are you?â Edith was wary; these people obviously werenât good news.
Why should it matter to them how she addressed Arabella?
Yolanda, still in shock, forced a smile and explained, âShe grew up with us.
âOh, youâre Arabellaâs foster parents?â
Edith finally understood. She didnât know how these people had bullied her young lady before, but politely said, âOur madam was just saying the other day, why didnât you accept those gifts and all that cash?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Olga was stunned, thinking sheâd misheard.
âIt was the gifts the driver delivered on behalf of our master and madam! Those thirty shops are in the best locations downtown, and those thirty villas have the best views, not to mention the cash.â
The Murphy family and the Panter family were dumbfounded. What was this woman talking about?
Why didnât they understand her?
âAll those gifts in the boxes were just a token of appreciation from our master and madam! You declined them, youâre too kind!â
After hearing this, Olga was completely stunned!
Those few crappy gift boxes actually contained so many valuable things. Why didnât the driver clanfy?
Wait, wasnât Arabellaâs real family really poor?
