Chapter 261 Hidden Motives
After losing money so much of his money, Mr. Wilson's relatives insisted on continuing to argue with several waitstaff. Mr. Wilson quickly pulled them away.
"Jeff, you are too gracious. Letting these despicable people take advantage of you!"
"Although the Wilson family is wealthy, we can't allow them to swindle money like this!"
"If you don't want to intervene because it may taint your image and status as the richest person, you can leave it to me! I can knock one of these people out with just one punch!"
Mr. Wilson felt extremely embarrassed. He clasped his hands together and quietly pleaded, "I invited you all here tonight to celebrate Isla's good exam results and to introduce her fiancé to you. He's still here, so please stop causing any more trouble!"
Only then did everyone remember Remy's presence and subconsciously looked at him.
Remy was sitting at the table alone, drinking his sorrows away. Every time he thought about the three million dollars he had spent on this dinner for Mr. Wilson, he felt extremely unhappy.
Isla's attention had been captured by those two handsome men. Although she didn't know their names, she caught a glimpse of them from afar, and their figures became etched in her mind.
One resembled the celebrity Blake, while the other was also breathtakingly handsome. She couldn't help but want to find out more about them.
Pretending to go to the restroom, she noticed that there were people guarding several elevators leading upstairs, and even the staircase had two waitstaff standing by.
There was no way around it. Isla could only turn and walk toward the other side of the rotating staircase while holding up her skirt.
This staircase was unattended and she was relieved by this, but just as she was about to step onto the first step, a waiter appeared and promptly stopped her. "I'm sorry, Miss, but you can't go up there."
Isla retracted her foot and put on a dignified smile, speaking calmly without missing a beat, "I'm looking for the restroom."
"The restroom is just around the corner, 100 meters to the left," the waiter said.
Maintaining her elegant smile, Isla gently inquired, "May I ask if Blake is dining here today?"
"I'm sorry, but we can't disclose our customers' privacy." the waiter replied.
"Well... can you answer another question for me? There was a handsome man who just went upstairs. He looks a lot like my friend. Could you tell me his name? If it's my friend, I'll go up and say hello to him." Isla said.
The waiter glanced at her, having seen this kind of approach hundreds of times before.
What, she couldn't flirt with Blake, so now she's interested in Phillipe?
This girl should take a good look at herself first!
With these thoughts in mind, the waiter kept his composure and said, "Sorry, Miss, please don't make it difficult for me."
Isla glanced in the direction of the upper floor, unsure when the handsome man would come down. If she could find out his identity, that would be even better. And if not him, if she could catch Blake's attention… Whether it was becoming Blake's girlfriend or entering the entertainment industry in the future, there would only be benefits, no drawbacks!
After finishing her meal, Elsa noticed that Lola hadn't come back yet and couldn't help but look worried. "Lola hasn't come back yet. I'll go check if she needs any help."
She got up and walked towards the restroom, which was more than fifty meters away from the dining area.
Arriving at the restroom door, she knocked and called out, "Lola, are you okay?"
The restroom door flung open as Lola angrily splashed all the water in her hands onto Elsa's face.
Although Elsa managed to block most of it with her hand in time, some water still splattered onto her makeup.
"You bitch!" Lola finished splashing the water and wanted to slap her hard!
But Elsa easily caught her wrist and said coldly, "Do you really think you're a lady?"
She gave a cold smile and looked down at her, saying, "If it weren't for my Aunt's sympathy for you, you would've been homeless and wandering the streets like a stray dog by now! Don't act arrogant with me. You wouldn't even be able to afford this meal tonight!"
"You!" Lola was livid, grinding her teeth but unable to find a retort. Her face turned red with anger!
"Do you think that if we have a conflict, the Medici family will side with their own people or with you, an outsider?" Elsa looked at her with interest, her eyes filled with a malicious joy, as if mocking her lowly status.
Maria, who was holding the dress, walked out of the restroom with Lola and couldn't help but interject, "Miss Elsa, please let go of her. You're hurting her!"
Without waiting for Elsa to speak, Maria added with a cold expression, "Otherwise, I'll have to make you let go of her. "
"Lola, I will settle the score of these years with you bit by bit! Don't leave this house too soon, or the game won't be fun anymore!" Elsa intentionally bumped into Maria's shoulder and glared at her as she headed into the restroom. "And you too!"
"Miss, let's go eat so long." Maria followed behind Lola, holding her dress. She calmly reminded Lola, "Tonight's banquet is focused on Abella. It's better not to cause any trouble. We wouldn't want to leave a bad impression on Mrs. Medici, thinking that you intentionally humiliated Miss Abella. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her later."
"Now even she dares to bully me!" Lola fumed. "Not to mention the rest of the Medici family! I can tell she has a grudge against Abella, but she wouldn't dare to bully her in front of so many people! Why? Why does she only bully me?"
"Miss, you know Abella's status. There are differences between you... People will target those who appear vulnerable!" Maria's words only made Lola feel worse. Damn Abella, she has the advantage of everything! If Abella hadn't suddenly returned to this house, Elsa wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous!
After a while, Lola returned to her seat. Immediately, the Medici couple and Blake showed concern for her. For the sake of the overall situation, she simply said it was nothing, then discreetly glanced at Phillipe.
Phillipe was still whispering to Abella, she didn't know what he was saying. Abella glared at him, feigning annoyance. Phillipe's lips curled up, and he smiled smugly.
How could Abella dare to glare at Phillipe like that!
The key factor was that he smiled, as if he was allowing Abella to act so brazenly!
Why, why was such an outstanding man bewitched by Abella?
At this moment, Elsa came back.
