Chapter 1024 Meeting Friends and Family
Not just the reporters, but even the viewers on the livestream were wide-eyed, doubting their own ears.
Who talked about billions of dollars like it was nothing?
"Clothes, shoes, purses, money transfers, jewelry—those are just the everyday gifts," Abella said, leaving everyone stunned again. "If you want something more impressive, my dad gave me a private island, and my mom gave me the world's largest castle-themed amusement park. Does that count?"
The reporter nodded eagerly, and Abella continued, "My grandpa gave me natural wild pearls, my grandma gave me tanzanite, Uncle Caleb gave me a casino, Steven gave me a private yacht, Ethan gave me a private jet, Winston gave me another yacht, Dennis gave me an island, and Blake gave me several cars."
Everyone's jaws practically hit the floor.
After hearing about all the extravagant gifts from her family, the reporter was speechless for a moment before asking, "So, on top of transferring money, giving you bank cards, clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry, they also gave you all these?"
Abella nodded calmly, her face showing no emotion. She even took a sip of her lemon water and asked, "Any other questions?"
The reporters were too stunned to speak.
Seriously, how could she receive so many gifts and not be shocked at all? Or had she already been shocked enough?
Seeing that they had no more questions, Abella stood up and followed her parents to greet other guests.
The viewers on the livestream were crying out in envy.
[I'm so jealous! I wish I were a rich heiress lost in the world, and one day a wealthy dad would send a car to pick me up.]
[Why is there such a huge gap between people?]
[Ms. Medici, don't go! Look at me, I'm your servant! You forgot to take me with you.]
[Ms. Medici, do you need an assistant? I can carry your bags!]
[There are so many rich people, what's one more like me?]
Half an hour later, all the guests in the hall had finished their meals. The waitstaff quickly cleared the tables, laid out fresh tablecloths, and served beautifully arranged, symbolic, and extremely expensive fruits, along with coffee made from high-end beans.
Many viewers on the livestream shed tears of envy.
Beckett and Kimberly introduced Abella to their friends and relatives.
"Abella, this is Selene Medici," Kimberly said with a smile.
Standing in front of Abella was a beautiful, well-dressed, elegant woman.
"Aunt Selene, hello," Abella greeted politely.
"So you're Abella?" Selene's eyes were filled with admiration and amazement as she looked at the beautiful Abella. "I have a home in Orisia, and so much has happened in the past six months. I'm sorry I could only come to see you today. You're even more beautiful than in the photos. Knowing that the Medici family has such an outstanding child makes me very happy and proud."
"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Selene. It's okay, I'm already very happy that you could come today."
"I've already given your parents your welcome gift. You can check it out after the banquet. Let me introduce you to my husband and others," Selene said warmly, waving her family over to meet Abella.
Abella greeted them one by one and chatted for a while. Kimberly then exclaimed, "Primrose is here? Abella, let me introduce you. This is Elsa's sister, Primrose Medici."
Primrose was different from Elsa. She had a serene beauty and rarely showed her emotions. She smiled faintly at Abella and said, "Hello, Abella."
"Primrose just arrived from abroad today," Kimberly added.
"Hello."
"Mrs. Medici, it's time for the raffle. Should we have Ms. Medici come on stage to start the draw and select 99 lucky guests to sponsor children with illnesses in their name?" Someone asked.
Kimberly almost forgot about this and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, it's time to start. Abella, get ready. You'll be selecting the lucky guests today."
"Okay."
Primrose glanced at Abella a few times before looking away. No one knew what she was thinking.
As Abella went on stage, she had no idea that viewers were still digging into her life.
"Friends! The Medici family gossip just keeps coming. Have you had enough? If not, I've got more for you!"
"Just recently, I saw Phillipe and Winston shopping with a young girl. Winston was happily paying for six shopping carts full of stuff for her! Six carts, ladies! I saw things like $100 strawberry hair clips, scented lamps, and star-shaped straw cups. Phillipe also picked out a lot for her."
"At the time, I didn't know their relationship, but I was so envious of this girl. Two handsome guys are shopping with her and willingly paying for everything. I was so jealous."
"By now, you all know who she is, right?"
"If that wasn't shocking enough, here's another piece of news!"
"Remember Blake's global tour? During the first concert, there was a proposal segment. Look closely at the couple who went on stage!"
The livestreamer showed a video from that night, highlighting the couple.
In the video, Phillipe held Abella's hand as they went on stage. Although they tried to stay in the background, their height and presence caught people's attention.
Later, some viewers used AI to reconstruct Abella's face from under her mask.
Though the reconstruction wasn't as stunning as the real Abella, it was about 70-80% accurate.
That night, Blake became their "matchmaker," witnessing Phillipe kneel and propose to Abella with a beautiful diamond ring.
Phillipe's heartfelt proposal made many viewers emotional. How could there be such a handsome, wealthy, and devoted man in the world?
The most exciting part for the viewers was that Abella said yes. Phillipe happily placed the ring on her finger, and both of them beamed with joy.
Some viewers felt content just watching this.
Back at the banquet, Abella pressed the button, selecting 99 guests and 99 lucky viewers, each winning a car.
