Chapter 218

At the behest of the many servants, Arabella took a seat at the piano. Her slender fingers lightly

touched the keys as the melodious sound of the piano filled the room. Each note seemed to transform

into a lively sprite, taking everyone on a joyous journey.

Those who listened to the piece felt as if they were traveling through a sea of flowers and seeing a

crystal clear ocean, their spirits greatly relaxed and delighted.

As the rhythm of the song gradually accelerated, everyone’s mood got better and better, their bodies

and minds refreshed.

No one knew how long it had been when the piano music finally ceased, and everyone clapped their

hands vigorously.

“That was awesome!”

“I listen to your pieces every night, and I can immediately recognize this as your piece. You’re

undoubtedly Maestro Melody!”

“Is this a new piece? I’ve never heard it before, it’s full of artistic flair and it’s super pleasing. I loved it!”

“Where can I download this piece? I want to hear it again.”

Several servants surrounded Arabella, idolizing her.

Arabella gave a light smile, “That was an impromptu.”

No template, no preconceptions, she played whatever came to her mind, freely expressing herself.

Everyone was full of praises.

“That impromptu piece you played was even better than those classic masterpieces. Miss, you’re

freaking amazing!”

“That piece you just played, it’s the best piano piece I’ve ever heard!”

Arabella’s piano skills clearly surpassed Serena.

Serena, who had been playing the piano since she was a child, never played music this beautiful. She,

standing aside, felt even more jealous seeing how the servants admired and liked Arabella!

So annoying! She stole the spotlight again!

“Bella and this piano are a perfect match.” Louisa said.

Louisa had been filming and taking pictures of her daughter since the beginning. And now, seeing her

daughter sitting at the piano, her every move, posture, expression, was beyond perfection.

Her daughter was just so beautiful, such a sight for sore eyes!

“Everyone, move this piano to Bella’s room. Bella, play it when you have time, and just leave it when

you don’t. Don’t worry about it getting dusty.” Kenneth’s tone was always very indulgent.

Arabella nodded, took out the gifts she made in the lab today, and handed them out, one bottle per

person, “This is my gift for you.”

Kenneth and Louisa were both a little surprised, more gifts?

“It’s been so long since I came home, and I haven’t given you anything.” Arabella said.

These two bottles of pills, she just made them, each with different effects.

“Dad, your bottle can enhance physical health.” Arabella said.

Arabella knew that Kenneth had paid a lot for his career when he was young and had many health

issues. This bottle could solve many problems.

“Mom, your bottle can beautify and nourish the complexion.” Arabella said gently, “Take one pill each

day, and keep it up for three months. You will see very good results.”

Each small bottle contained about 100 pills.

“My little girl, did you buy us health supplements?” Louisa mistakenly thought that this little thing was a

health supplement, and felt extremely surprised and touched, “You’re so thoughtful!”

She looked at Arabella, her eyes full of affection, “My girl, don’t worry, we will definitely persist in taking

it! We won’t miss a day!”

“This is Bella’s gift. I can’t bear to eat it.” Kenneth held the small bottle of pills tightly, his eyes filled with

tears.

This was the first gift Bella gave them after she came home. He wanted to keep it. Keep it forever.

“There will be more when you finish.” Arabella said.

Kenneth was very happy, “There’s more?”

“Yep.” Arabella said.

“Bella, don’t spend any more money. Save your money for yourself. If it’s not enough, just ask us. We

don’t need you to buy any gifts. As long as you are healthy and happy, we are satisfied.” Louisa

lovingly said.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Tonight’s dinner is ready. Bella, let’s have a good celebration tonight!”

Kenneth said.

Serena, who was standing by, watched her parents holding Arabella’s hand and leaving, feeling very

upset. Even though she was the one who got first place, why were her parents celebrating for

Arabella?

They said they didn’t have favorites? She was left all alone. It couldn’t be more obvious that they were

playing favorites!!

At 7 o’clock in the evening, the lights in the McMillian Corporation building were bright, and no one

dared to leave work early.

In the conference room.

Romeo listened to a manager’s report with a cold expression and frosty eyes, “This is your so–called

strategy?”

“Mr. McMillian, I thought if we spread the news, it could make our competitors invest in the land in

city. As long as they get stuck in that piece of land, financial problems would be inevitable, and then

we could take them over.” The manager said, “I was wrong! I didn’t expect them to pretend to invest in

the land in S city on the surface, but secretly they bought all the land in B city that we were interested

in, and they tricked us.”

The manager felt very sorry and apologized with a bow.

Romeo’s gaze was as cold as water, “How many years have you been working in the corporation?”

“Huh?” The manager was stunned by the question, and quickly answered, “Mr. McMillian, it’s been

eight years.”

“Has the company been treating you poorly?” Romeo asked.

“Of course not.” The manager was already sweating profusely and shaking uncontrollably.

“Since the company has not mistreated you.” Romeo’s icy gaze landed on his head, “Why did you

betray the McMillian family?”

“Mr. McMillian??” The manager did not expect the news to reach Romeo so quickly. He had initially

planned to go abroad to lay low after this deal. “You’re flying to France at eight tonight?” Romeo threw

the plane ticket in front of him, and the manager immediately turned pale. It was over, everything had

been found out!

Carl, who was standing aside, said coldly, “If our competitor’s corporation offered you very attractive

conditions, and you’ve decided to go, all you have to do is submit your resignation. McMillian

Corporation will not stop you, but if you’re playing tricks behind our back.”

The manager started shaking even more violently, “Mr. McMillian, Carl, I was wrong. Please give me

another chance!”

Carl shot the manager a glance, and said in an icy tone, “Mr. McMillian has known about your dirty

tricks behind the scenes for a while now. B city? That piece of land isn’t what we’re really after. The

real deal is actually over in S city. But we used your tactics to stir up some trouble for them.”

The manager was instantly shocked, realizing he was toast and his face fell in utter despair.

“You’ve leaked the company’s secrets. That’s illegal.” Carl’s words hung in the air. Right on cue, two

cops showed up, taking the manager away for questioning.

Romeo swept his gaze over the crowd, “Now, anyone else want to come clean?”

Arabella had just enjoyed a romantic candlelit dinner and had a rare, delightful family moment. Even

though Serena’s presence was a bit of a mood killer, the love and adoration from her parents was

genuine. For the first time in her life, Arabella truly, deeply, felt the warmth of family.

“Bella, go take a shower first. There’s a surprise waiting for you later!” Louisa said.
