Chapter 128 A Gift Worth Hundreds of Millions of Dollars
"Abella..."
"Two minutes are up."
Abella hung up the phone directly, blocked the number, and was about to stride into the laboratory when a strange call came.
She was speechless.
Needless to say, it must be from Mr. Wilson who called her shamelessly with a new phone number.
Abella hung up directly, blocked the number, and strode into the lab.
Mr. Wilson had already anticipated that she wouldn't answer anymore. Before calling her, he had someone buy different numbers...
For the past dozen or so numbers, he called one by one. Abella would block one and he would switch to another.
In the end, Abella turned off her phone, leaving Mr. Wilson completely helpless.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Wilson, who was standing aside, saw Mr. Wilson's defeated expression and had a bad feeling. "She still won't answer your calls?"
"She turned off her phone." Mr. Wilson sighed and glanced at his daughter on the sofa.
Isla lowered her head, looking guilty and silently shedding tears.
She looked pitiful.
"That damn... girl, she has gone too far!" Mrs. Wilson gritted her teeth and loathed Abella, her heart itching with hatred. "Regardless, this cannot be reported. Otherwise, not only will Isla's reputation be ruined for life, but our family's reputation, the Wilson family, will also be destroyed!"
Hmph! Isn't it just sixty million? They are among the richest in New York, and they can definitely afford it!
Mr. Wilson remained silent for a while, took out his phone, and instructed his subordinates to put up for sale several luxury homes and over a dozen storefronts under his name. "The buyer must pay in full."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get the money until the bank's loan process was approved, which would take three days!
"Speed is of the essence. If necessary, lower the price a bit..." Mr. Wilson finished the call and looked at his wife and daughter, his gaze filled with dejection. "Once they are sold, we will only have this one house and a few storefronts left under our name."
The maid standing by with tea was startled upon hearing this, and her hands trembled, causing the tray she was holding to fall to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Wilson noticed her suspicious behavior and could not help but scold, "Trying to scare us?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Madam. I didn't handle it properly..." The maid thought to herself, what right does a person on the brink of bankruptcy have to put on airs in front of her? No, she had to find another way out... The Wilson family would soon be done for!
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry..." Isla sobbed, tears streaming down her face, looking extremely guilty.
"Ah..." Mr. Wilson sighed. Once the luxury homes and storefronts under his name were sold, he would no longer be the richest person in New York, and his social status would plummet...
By then, the Wilson family's business would be in serious jeopardy...
"It's all my fault." Isla knew the magnitude of the trouble she caused and cried, "If I hadn't returned to this family, Dad would still be the richest, Mom would still be living a life of luxury... It's because of me that I have ruined you and this family! I'm sorry, really sorry!"
If she didn't apologize, she was afraid her parents would harbor resentment and kick her out.
She could tell that her father was disappointed in her, even when she cried like this, he didn't utter a word of comfort!
"Silly child! You're our flesh and blood, you've suffered enough being separated from us for eighteen years!"
Mrs. Wilson lovingly touched her head, feeling distressed. "Before, you didn't have the opportunity to learn how to play the piano, but now it's different! We are here for you."
"In the future, I won't let you suffer anymore, it's just the piano. As long as you still want to learn, your parents will definitely hire a tutor for you!"
Tears streamed down Isla's face as she shook her head, seemingly saying, "I don't want to learn the piano anymore."
Mrs. Wilson felt even more distressed, "It's alright, as long as we compensate with sixty million, at most, only the people at the award ceremony will know about this, and it will soon be forgotten. It won't spread to the whole nation and become a joke in people's conversations..."
Isla nodded, looking guilty.
"In a few days, the SAT results will be released. With your level, getting into a top-tier university is not a problem!"
"In the four years of university, you can develop in other areas. We can learn to paint, study fashion design, play golf, in short, improve our taste and become a talented and educated young lady."
"Once you graduate from a prestigious university and have some experience in our family's business, people will see you as a capable and educated young lady. It's just that the situation with Remy..."
Mrs. Wilson knew that today Remy was disappointed in Isla, and Mrs. Hamilton even took him away...
"The wedding between the Wilson family and the Johnson family may not make progress for now..."
Isla also knew in her heart that Remy was disappointed in her!
Today, it wasn't just her own reputation that was lost!
She bit her lower lip, no, she had to find a way to keep him, even if it meant paying a price...
In the laboratory.
Abella successfully extracted Folium saponicum , and the surrounding experts and doctors were shocked, praising her one after another.
"Amazing..."
"We've been busy for over ten days, and you finished it in just an afternoon!"
"In the field of drug research, you're second to none, no one dares to claim to be the best."
Abella looked at the extracted Folium saponicum , somewhat dissatisfied, "It hasn't been fully extracted yet, the composition is not pure enough. I'll come back to check tomorrow night."
Tonight, Mrs. Medici had prepared a large table of dishes to celebrate her, and now it was getting dark, she had to go back, or they would have to wait for a long time.
Upon hearing that Abella would come again tomorrow, the several doctors and experts were excited.
"That's great!"
"Although it hasn't been fully extracted, being able to extract a part of it is already impressive!"
"I thought this project was almost doomed, but who would have thought that as soon as you came, there would be such great progress!"
"I believe success is within reach!"
Abella looked at the composition in the equipment, "You can observe it again tonight, see how long this composition can survive at high temperatures."
If it can't withstand high temperatures and the composition is destroyed, it would be useless to extract it.
"You can rest assured. We will definitely follow up on this."
Abella got into the car and left. Not long after, she returned to the Long Island Manor. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a brand new diamond piano, emitting a charming glow under the lights.
"Abella, you're back?" Mr. Medici saw her and was exceptionally happy. "Perfect timing, try the touch and sound of the piano."
Lola was extremely jealous. She had just inquired with the piano delivery person and found out that this piano was worth billions and very precious.
The piano delivery person mistook Mr. Medici's daughter for her and complimented her, which made her so angry that she almost had a breakdown.
Abella's slender fingers glided over the piano keys and gently played a few notes, producing an excellent sound. How could such a piano be worth less than a billion?
"Miss Abella, I've heard that you are a piano master. I wonder if we have the honor of listening to you play a piece?"
"I heard that you are Anika? I must confess, I am your fan!"
"Miss Anika, oh no, Miss Abella, can I have the pleasure of listening to you play a piece?"
"Your piano compositions are so enjoyable. I listen to them every night before going to bed."
Abella smirked.
So, her piano compositions also have a hypnotic effect?
