Chapter 255 Seeing a Handsome Man
The servant had mentioned last time that Abella's biological family had prepared many valuable gifts as a token of gratitude for the Wilson family's care over the years, but the Wilsons had declined them... Could Abella's biological family really be wealthy? This thought made Isla clench her fists in discontent.
Amidst the respectful greetings from everyone, Abella walked into the VIP elevator. As the elevator doors closed, she lifted her eyes and coincidentally met Remy's astonished gaze from afar.
Remy had just reached the entrance and was stunned in place by the grand display. Why did all the restaurant staff come forward to greet Abella? And who was that servant following her? If he hadn't been mistaken, she had stepped out of a RV worth millions of dollars.
The guests in the lobby were taken aback, and discussions broke out.
"Isn't that Abella? How come she didn't even acknowledge us when she passed by? It's fine if she ignores us, but her parents were right in front of her, and she didn't even spare them a glance!"
"What's going on? She seems so indifferent now, as if she doesn't know us anymore."
"What happened? Didn't Skylar say her daughter got excellent grades and wanted to treat all her relatives and friends to a meal? Why did Abella go upstairs instead?"
"Is there something waiting for us upstairs? Did Abella go upstairs to prepare for us?"
"Impossible! Abella seemed like she didn't even know us!"
"The floor that Abella just went to was the eighth floor. Don't you guys know, the higher the floor at CCG Diner, the more expensive it gets. The eighth floor is the highest, and the best location in the whole restaurant. There is only one private room, plus a large terrace. They say the view from there is spectacular!"
Everyone was captivated by the last person's words and asked, "How do you know?"
"We have a relative who is doing well in New York. Last time he came here, he wanted to book the private room, but he couldn't... you need connections and a prominent status for that! But he mentioned these things and also said that the view from the eighth floor is worth spending even half a million dollars for just one look! It's a lifetime of no regrets!"
"That sounds amazing! How did Abella manage to get up there?"
"Not only did she manage to get up there, but she also made such a grand entrance. What is going on?"
Many guests started asking Mrs. Wilson, but she hadn't snapped back to reality yet; all she could think of was the girl's indifferent face as she passed by.
A sense of foreboding became increasingly intense.
How powerful, wealthy, and capable is Abella to be able to go up to the eighth floor?
"Remy, you're here?" At this moment, Isla's voice successfully shifted everyone's attention. She walked forward, taking hold of the boy's hand and smiling, "Why are you standing there? Come in!"
"So, this is the child from the Johnson family? He looks outstanding, you can see he grew up in a mansion. This temperament, this appearance, he's truly different from ordinary people."
"Comparatively, the girl next to him doesn't seem to be a match for him."
"Are they a couple? They don't seem to be compatible either! If they really are a couple, then the girl has hit the jackpot."
Upon hearing these words, Isla's face froze and she felt a bit embarrassed.
"It is said that the Wilson family and the Johnson family have an engagement. Isn't Abella the one engaged to Remy? Where did this girl come from? Why is she holding Remy's hand?"
"She stole Abella's fiancé. Why haven't Jeff and Skylar said anything?"
"Could Abella have left because of this?"
Mr. Wilson, seeing the situation escalate, went up to the stage and raised his hands to signal everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, thank you for attending tonight's dinner! Eighteen years ago, a big fire led me to mistakenly adopt Abella and raise her at home. Perhaps it was God's mercy, but eighteen years later, I had the opportunity to find my biological daughter, Isla! The girl you see now is my biological daughter!"
Mr. Wilson smiled like a loving father. "Isla, come up and greet everyone."
Upon hearing this, everyone started gossiping.
"Huh? So, Isabella is Jeff and Skylar's daughter?"
"It's a pity that such a beautiful child like Abella isn't a Wilson."
"When I visited the Wilsons before, I found it strange to see Abella with her fair complexion. I thought Jeff and Skylar were so lucky to have such a beautiful girl. Turns out she's not their biological child!"
"No wonder Abella seemed so distant when she passed by earlier. She must have returned to her biological family."
"Jeff, where is Abella? Where did she go? Is she still a part of this family?"
Upon hearing people talk about how Abella's looks surpass Isla's, Mr. Wilson felt somewhat embarrassed. But upon hearing those last questions, he maintained a smile and replied, "Abella has found her biological family and went back to them recently."
"Oh, I see..." The crowd then started discussing among themselves how Abella's biological family must be quite well-off, judging from the grandeur of her entrance. In comparison, the Wilson family appeared somewhat plain. It seemed like they had missed out on treating themselves well in recent years.
Isla smiled as she stepped up to speak, "I am grateful to God for helping me find my biological parents and for blessing me with such good relatives and friends. Thank you all for being here. "
"A while ago, Isla took the SAT and her scores were impressive. The dinner tonight serves three purposes - to celebrate her high score, which means going to a prestigious university is not a problem; to announce her identity to everyone; and lastly, to let everyone know that Isla and Remy will soon hold an engagement banquet. I trust you all received the invitations. I hope you can all attend!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but wonder if the Johnsons and the Wilsons would really hold an engagement banquet.
One has to admit, Isla is a lucky girl. She returned and became the daughter of one of New York's wealthiest men, as well as the future daughter-in-law of the Johnson family...
Just then, Isla noticed an attractive man walking toward the entrance. His tall, well-built figure was highlighted by the expensive suit he wore, and his commanding aura made people feel awed. His exceptionally handsome face was impossible to look away.
What a handsome man!
Who is he? Is he a guest dining here tonight?
Although Isla couldn't see where he was headed from her position, she guessed he must be going to the private room upstairs to dine.
Throughout her life, she had never seen such a good-looking man. His physique and aura perfectly matched her preferences.
In comparison, Remy seemed quite ordinary!
She never thought such an exquisite man existed in the world. While she was ambitious, she also felt some regret for giving herself to Remy now.
She had truly been short-sighted!
