Chapter 1018 Identity Revelation Scene
It was right around noon, and folks were starting to get hungry. As the waitstaff rolled out the mouthwatering dishes, not only were the guests at the tables drooling, but even the folks watching online were green with envy.
Seafood platters, lobster bisque, black truffle steak, Boston lobster—one fancy dish after another...
"This spread's way better than what I had at my own wedding yesterday."
"Seriously, they've already served eleven courses, and the waitstaff are still bringing more. There are only eight people at each table. How many more dishes are they gonna serve?"
Abella was seated at a table with her parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents.
Her brother and their girlfriends were at another table.
Her Uncles and aunts were scattered at different tables.
All the other relatives were there too.
The reporters and photographers were eager to chow down quickly so they could get on with interviewing the other guests.
Today, among the over a thousand guests, none were your average Joe. Everyone here was someone important!
Previously, a real estate mogul threw a birthday bash, and only half of the invited guests showed up, with the rest making excuses not to attend.
But now, with the Medici family's real daughter making her grand return, all the big shots had gathered in one place.
They were itching to finish eating fast to make time for interviews.
Online, a small influencer named "Jojo" was sharing a story on her livestream.
"Hey everyone, a few months back, I spotted Andrew and Victoria shopping with a young girl!"
"Since they're VIPs at a bunch of high-end stores, every time they walk in, the store shuts its doors to other customers to give them top-notch service."
"When they took the young girl inside, the store manager closed the store, and seven or eight staff members were all over them. Not many folks have seen them, but I remembered that young girl's face!"
"Let me tell you, that girl was gorgeous, and now I can finally spill the beans that she's the Medici family's daughter, Abella! Andrew and Victoria have been doting on her for ages!"
Jojo's words set off another online frenzy, crashing the system yet again!
A former sales associate who had served Victoria and Abella also chimed in, "Victoria brought this girl to our store before, and they were super close. Anything that looked good and fit well, Victoria would buy for her. The driver couldn't carry it all, so he had to make several trips to the car. Eventually, Andrew had the driver take a carload of stuff home first and then come back to pick them up."
Another sales associate backed up the story, "I can totally vouch for what my colleague said! Victoria was incredibly sweet to her, personally picking out clothes and never even glancing at the price!"
A user jumped in, [Is it her? I've seen her before! Andrew even got into a fight for her!]
This revelation set off a storm of gossip online, with everyone pressing him for the scoop on what went down. How could Andrew get into a fight for Abella, especially given his status?
[There are way too many DMs for me to answer, so I'll just spill the tea here. If the Bourbon family thinks I'm overstepping, they can hit me up to take this down, thanks.]
[So, I was at the mall when I saw this closed clothing store suddenly open up. Andrew came out lugging a ton of shopping bags. Since he's a big deal in high society, I couldn't help but stare a bit. Inside, Victoria and the girl were picking out clothes, laughing, and having a good time.]
[Andrew probably wanted to haul the bags to the car, but he looked like he was having back trouble. The girl noticed and came out to help, but then this young couple accused her of being a sugar baby.]
[I was floored. They probably had no clue Victoria was inside or who Andrew was. They were pretty nasty to the girl, who turned out to be today's star—Abella!]
[Abella didn't want to get into it with them, but the guy in the couple was especially rude, accusing her of selling out for cash. Andrew rushed over and decked the guy. The mall manager and security showed up, and Victoria came out too, but she just stood there with Abella, watching it all go down. Oh, and the girl in that couple was Isla.]
Isla's infamy shot up again, with more people swarming her social media to call her out.
Back at the reunion banquet.
Some quick-eating reporters noticed Andrew and Victoria mingling with their wine glasses, toasting guests at other tables, and rushed over with their mics.
"Mrs. Bourbon, sorry to interrupt, but can we ask you something? Earlier, you mentioned Abella being generous, gifting a whole set of QY limited edition jewelry and a QY no-limit card. Folks online are curious, where does she get all that cash?"
Victoria, having had a bit of wine, was all charm. She looked straight at the camera behind the reporter, totally unfazed, and said coolly, "She's the founder of QY. What do you think?"
This bombshell left not just the reporters but everyone online completely floored!
Andrew chimed in with a grin, "She gave me six pieces of Magnolia's calligraphy without spending a cent. She is Magnolia! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Hudson at the next table. Abella learned calligraphy from him."
The reporter was too stunned to speak.
The cameraman nudged her, signaling her to interview Ian. Ian smiled and said, "Not just calligraphy, I also introduced her to painting. But all her achievements now are her own doing. I can only say she's surpassed her teacher! She's both Magnolia and Cordelia now. As her former mentor, I'm very satisfied, very proud, and very happy, hahaha."
She was Cordelia too?
The online community was completely blown away, with comments flying by so fast that the system crashed again.
A user boldly announced, [Since our QY president's identity is out, I'll step up and say, yes! I'm a QY employee, and Abella is our QY president! Because she's so busy, she left QY in the hands of Jack. Many outsiders mistakenly think Jack is the big boss, but he's not.]
