Chapter 164 Let Her Suffer
At this point, she turned innocently and pitifully, about to leave.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang, and Lauren quickly answered and brought the phone over, saying, "Madam, it's for you."
She handed the phone to Mrs. Medici and added, "It's Miss Sophia calling."
Sophia? Lola wanted to grab the phone, but it was too late. With one foot already out of the dining room, she was torn between staying or leaving, feeling anxious and impatient.
"Sophia?" Mrs. Medici took the phone, kindly asking, "Is there something you need, dear?"
"Auntie, Lola's phone is turned off, and I'm really worried about her. There's something I must tell you about your relative, Abella..."
Sophia had intended to say that Abella had a violent tendency...
But Mrs. Medici naturally asked, "Oh, you mean my daughter Abella? What happened to her?"
"Your daughter??" Now it was Sophia's turn to be stunned. After a few seconds of shock, she asked, "Abella is your daughter?"
"Yes."
"Biologically?"
"Yes."
"Then she really is Lola's..."
"Elder sister."
"Then what did Lola mean when she said..."
"What?"
Sophia instinctively asked, "Isn't Abella a relative of your family?"
"Did Lola tell you that? That Abella is a relative of our family?"
Upon hearing this, Lola hastily rushed over and snatched the phone, "Sophia! Why are you calling again! Don't talk about whether Abella is our relatives or non-relatives! Don't talk nonsense! We have things to do, so stop causing trouble with your phone calls!"
After hanging up the phone, Lola hurriedly explained, "Mom, don't listen to Sophia's nonsense. She must have misunderstood. I never said that my sister is a relative of ours..."
Watching her panicked and angry demeanor, Mrs. Medici's gaze darkened slightly. "Lola, from childhood to adulthood, you have always been a sensible and kind child. What you should do next, you should understand, don't you?"
"Mom... don't worry, I will tell all our friends that my sister and brother-in-law are the rightful couple. I am just an adopted daughter..."
"I will never compete with my sister for my brother-in-law. I won't take away anything that belongs to her!"
"Whether you believe it or not, in my heart, my sister is the most important..."
"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Really sorry!"
She shed two tears and took the opportunity to leave...
Abella had been watching this spectacle since earlier, eating as she watched, and now she was full.
"Mom, Dad, take your time. I'm going upstairs first." She was about to leave.
"Abella..." Mrs. Medici quickly held her back. "Let me give you some medicine."
"No need, it's just a minor injury. I'll take care of it myself."
Abella didn't take this minor injury seriously at all, but Mrs. Medici insisted on making her sit down and follow the list handwritten by Phillipe, first applying some anti-inflammatory medicine, and then giving her...
"Could you get me some pain reliever?" Mrs. Medici asked, wanting to clarify what had happened with Sophia.
"She didn't say much," Abella replied.
She just blurted out insults.
"It seems like Lola deliberately misled Sophia, making her believe that you are a relative in the family..." Mrs. Medici speculated.
It's not hard to understand, considering Lola was worshipped by their entire family ever since she was a child.
She was the only princess in the family.
Suddenly, one day, another girl came back claiming to be the true heiress, and Lola was just an unrelated child...
Anyone would struggle to accept such a sudden change...
"Perhaps she wanted to save face in front of her friends..." Mrs. Medici guessed. "It's also possible that she didn't want to reveal your identity until it was publicly announced... In any case, this situation has caused you distress."
"I'm not distressed," Abella said, annoyed by the constant acting in front of her. Tonight was just an opportunity to push back a little.
She didn't expect Lola to start crying and pretending to be distressed again...
It was all too much drama.
Mr. Medici sympathetically said, "Once your grandparents' health improves, and your great-grandparents have a say, we will visit them together and let them decide when to announce your identity."
"No rush," Abella replied. She planned to visit the Triangle District soon. If her identity was announced beforehand, those people wouldn't be able to harm her, but they would still cause trouble for her family...
Although Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici had many bodyguards, it was clear that they weren't a match for those people.
If those people set their sights on the four elderly members of her family...
Abella thought for a moment and made a decision. Besides the Triangle District, there were some threats that needed to be dealt with more quickly...
Lola returned to her room, crying bitterly and feeling furious. "That foolish Sophia!"
"Sophia is just worried about you..." Maria gently stroked her back. "Don't be angry. You should be happy to have such a close friend."
"I almost let her ruin everything tonight!" Lola sobbed, thinking of her parents' cold expressions. She felt wronged and angry. "It seems like my parents trust and care more about Abella... Is eighteen years of love really worth less than this blood relationship? They promised to treat me like their own daughter..."
But in their words, they sided with Abella and criticized her...
Their bias couldn't be any more apparent!
"It's a good thing young master went to rest. If he witnessed everything that just happened..."
Maria couldn't help but remind Lola, "Be more cautious in the future, don't give that wicked girl any ammunition. I think she just likes to play the victim."
Lola agreed with this viewpoint.
"Remember when you asked her to accompany you to visit Mr. Bourbon? She refused and instead pretended to be sulking and skipped lunch, just to gain the attention of the Lord and Lady... How despicable!"
Lola also shared this sentiment. If Abella didn't play these mind games and didn't constantly seek attention...
Out of that cold demeanor, she tried to please her, to get along with her, so they could be superficially close sisters!
However, Abella didn't give her a good face, and she even retaliated in various ways...
"It's time to make her suffer." A flash of cruelty passed through Maria's eyes. "We need to let the lady of the house know that she is not as perfect as they imagine..."
Don't think that playing the piano and making clothes makes you superior...
When it comes to true refinement, that brat Lola is far behind Miss Lola!
The next morning.
After finishing breakfast, Abella was about to go to work when Steven Bass spoke up, "I'll take you."
Lola couldn't even hold onto her chopsticks when she heard that.
"No need, I have someone to take me." Abella stood up. "Take your time, I'll have dinner at home tonight."
Steven Bass looked at Lauren, and Lauren quickly explained, "It's the young master from the Bourbon family, who comes to pick up and drop off Miss Abella every day."
Phillipe?
Mrs. Medici smiled happily and said, "That boy Phillipe is really considerate. I heard he gave Abella a QY pink diamond."
