Chapter 191 Falling
"Mom, are you alright?" Isla rushed over and tried to help Mrs. Wilson up.
"Ouch...Don't touch me...This brat, she hasn't been disciplined for a few days, and now she's so disrespectful?" Mrs. Wilson lay in a miserable state on the grass, tears streaming down her face from the pain.
"Abella, you've gone too far!" Isla caught up with Abella as she tried to walk away, grabbing her arm, intending to reason with her.
Abella detested the touch of this venomous snake and flicked her hand to shake Isla off. Isla exaggeratedly fell to the ground, twisting her face in pain.
"Miss Isla, are you alright?" A servant nearby hurriedly stepped forward to assist.
Tears fell from Isla's eyes as she pretended stubbornly, "I'm fine...Don't worry."
"Abella, how could you treat your mother and sister like this!" Mr. Wilson couldn't believe it. This girl had actually become like this, not only scolding the servants but also disregarding her own mother and sister.
How could things have deteriorated to such an extent!
"You said it yourself, I have no relationship with this family." Abella's gaze turned ice cold. "If I catch you stealing Grandma's things again, I'll chop off your hands and feed them to the dogs!"
"You...you insolent girl...stop her!" Mrs. Wilson, in pain and tears, commanded the surrounding servants. "Close the door and give her a good beating!"
Abella effortlessly cleared a path and left the Wilson family's villa with great pomp.
The people from the Wilson family were truly amazed. Was this still the same Abella from before? In less than a month, she had changed so much...
"Mom, are you okay?" Isla hurriedly came forward to inquire with concern.
Mrs. Wilson was itching with anger. "That insolent girl, if we don't teach her a lesson, she'll really think we're easy to bully..."
Mr. Wilson sighed. He thought Abella had come to her senses and wanted to cooperate with them...
As Abella left the Wilson family, she delivered the items to the old lady and suddenly her phone vibrated.
"Abella, what are you busy with?"
It was a WhatsApp message from her older brother.
Abella lightly touched the screen with her finger and quickly replied, "Dealing with some matters outside."
"Will you come home for dinner tonight?"
"I will." Abella curved her lips into a smile.
"Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I'm not picky, anything is fine." Abella replied promptly.
"Alright."
Steven had always been concise with his words. After replying "Alright," he didn't receive any more messages from his sister, so he started typing again.
"Don't overwork yourself, take care of your health."
After some thought, he added, "See you tonight."
Abella sent an OK emoji and put her phone away.
Steven didn't expect his sister to be even more concise than him. He chuckled and said to Patrick beside him, "Regarding the afternoon's matter..."
"Go ahead, I want to go home early to accompany Abella," Patrick said. He had just seen Boss smile, and after being by his side for seven or eight years, Boss seemed a bit different when it came to this little sister.
After Abella finished accompanying the old lady, she took a taxi back to the company and saw Phillipe's car parked not far away.
The tall and handsome man who got off the car attracted the attention of several passersby...
With half an hour left before quitting time, Abella thought that if she came back early, he wouldn't notice. But she didn't expect him to come half an hour early.
"Where were you?" Phillipe approached her and gently smoothed her stray hair. "Next time you need a ride, you can tell me."
He didn't want the girl to have to take taxis outside.
"I went out to take care of something. Why did you come so early?" Abella raised her gaze and looked him over. "Or is it that you come this early every day?"
"Nothing much to do lately," Phillipe looked at her indulgently.
Although he said that, only the secretary knew that Mr. Bourbon hastened his work every day just to come and pick up Miss Abella...
At this time, Mr. Bourbon had some spare time for love, but his assistant was still dealing with the aftermath at the corporation!
Patrick felt like crying!
"I'll be having dinner at home tonight, so I can't accompany you," Abella said.
"Alright," Phillipe touched her head and opened the car door for her.
On the way, Abella inquired about Granny Bourbon's condition and they talked about their work. Before long, they arrived at Long Island Manor.
Phillipe unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and reluctantly gave her a hug. "Can you spare some time to accompany me another day?"
"Sure," Abella turned around. Just as she was about to enter the gate, she suddenly noticed a shiny substance on the ground. It looked like oil.
In the sunlight, the large area of oil appeared like a shape made of water...
To conceal the oil, someone had washed the garden, making the ground wet...
If Abella didn't look closely, she wouldn't be able to tell...
Who spilled oil here? Were they trying to make her slip and fall?
Through one of the windows in the main house, it seemed like there were a pair of eyes secretly observing the situation here through the curtains.
Abella casually stepped on the water stains on the ground, skillfully avoiding the oil, and went straight inside.
"She, she just came in like that?" Maria, who was hiding behind the curtain, couldn't believe it. "I intentionally spilled two barrels of oil, why wasn't it slippery at all?"
Lola couldn't help feeling regretful. "Could it be that when they washed the garden, they washed away the oil?"
"No, Bia washed the garden first, then I spilled the oil... logically speaking, Abella should have fallen flat on her face!"
But instead, she entered so nonchalantly!
At that moment, Abella walked into the main house, startling the two of them who quickly pretended to be discussing curtain styles.
"Lola, do you want to change the curtains in your room to this style with floral patterns?"
"Yeah, don't you think it looks nice?"
"Phillipe is looking for you," Abella casually said as she passed by Lola. "He has something to tell you."
Phillipe is looking for her? Lola was ecstatic and about to rush out, but Maria stopped her with a gesture!
In theory, the young Bourbon heir wouldn't look for her!
Could it be that Abella found the cooking oil on the floor and wanted to trick Miss Lola into going out and slipping?
Abella climbed two steps and casually said, "He's right there. If you don't want to go, at least have someone inform him."
How could Lola not want to go!
Lola dreamt of talking to Phillipe! She rushed out of the main house, and Maria hurried after her. "Miss Lola, slow down, there's oil on the floor."
"It's fine. Abella didn't slip when she came in. If you're worried, we'll walk slower!"
Lola hadn't finished speaking when her feet slipped, and she fell backward.
"Miss Lola!" Maria was about to assist her but ended up falling as well.
Abella stood on the balcony and looked at their comical scene before calling Phillipe. "Now, you can come."
Earlier, she messaged Phillipe on WhatsApp, telling him to wait for a while.
Phillipe smirked. "You said there's a good show, and here it is?"
"Yeah," Abella replied.
Phillipe didn't expect these two snake-like individuals to want Abella to fall. "I'll go talk to Uncle."
"No need."
This is just a small matter. It shouldn't alarm Dad.
