Chapter 304 Engagement Banquet
She will take revenge for how her grandmother passed away!
"What... what are you trying to do..." Mrs. Wilson became somewhat alarmed, "Officer, this girl threatened me. She whispered threats in my ear just now."
"Take them away!" Following the lead police officers’ orders, the Wilson couple was immediately led away in front of everyone.
"Let go of me..." Mr. Wilson had never been so embarrassed in his life! It can be said that just as triumphant as he was when he bought the land, he feels equally miserable now!
"I haven't committed any crimes. It was Grandma's own weak heart, and no one can be blamed!" Mrs. Wilson continued to resist, "Let go of me, I want to see my lawyer, Isla, get me a lawyer."
Abella coldly curled her lips.
The leading police officer, with great respect, spoke, "Abella, what about them."
"Detain them for now. No need for an interrogation. I'll take care of them later."
"Yes."
Mrs. Wilson suddenly noticed the respectful attitude of the lead police officer towards Abella. It was evident that they knew each other. She feared that Abella might try to harm her as well, now that Grandma is gone.
Isla also grasped the gravity of the situation and realized there was no one to turn to with Abella in charge. So, after the police left, she hurriedly approached Abella.
"Let my parents go! If you have any issues, come at me."
"Do you think you can escape?" Abella looked down at her coldly.
"Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon. I will make you pay for everything you've done to Grandma twofold! None of you will escape!"
Isla froze, a chill running down her spine, as she absorbed the impact of Abella’s words.
Remy watched the girl's cold and haughty demeanor as she was embraced by Phillipe. They seemed so well-matched.
"Remy..." Isla no longer had anyone to rely on, only this man before her.
However, Mrs. Hamilton pushed her away with disgust in her voice, "I warn you, don't ever approach my son again! Shameless wretch! If you dare to think of my son again, I will slap you every time I see you!"
What a stroke of bad luck! They thought by holding this engagement banquet, they would secure six billion US dollars. Yet, it turns out the Wilson family couldn’t even secure ownership of this piece of land for five years. In other words, they won't get their hands on those six billion US dollars!
The Wilson family simply used this half of the land to please them and ensure the engagement banquet proceeded as planned.
Speaking of which, they should thank Abella. If it weren't for her, they would still be in the dark about this despicable scheme!
Ignoring everything else, Isla put on a brave face, her teary eyes pleading, "Remy, Uncle Gao just said that he hopes we will respect and love each other from now on, sharing the good and the bad. Uncle Gao, didn't you say you hoped our families could have friendly interactions and generations of friendship?"
"Pah!" Mr. Hamilton disregarded his image, his face full of disdain. "Remy, from now on, you're not allowed to contact her. Otherwise, I'll donate everything from the Johnson family and leave you penniless!"
After saying that, he apologized to all the guests present for wasting their time today.
"Let's go." Mrs. Hamilton held her son's uninjured arm and left with him.
Throughout the whole ordeal, Remy never spared Isla a glance , as if he truly no longer harbored any affection for her.
Lost and stunned, Isla returned to her grandmother's villa only to find their family's belongings thrown outside the gate by a few servants.
"What are you doing?" Before Isla could get angry, the servants spat at her and threw things at her.
"Do you have the nerve to ask? Madam asked us to break open Grandma's door lock, making us commit a crime! If it wasn't for Abella's generosity, letting us off with a thousand dollars each, we would've been detained for ten days!"
"We never expected you to be in such dire straits, not even owning a house or having any savings. If you couldn't afford to pay us, you should've spoken up earlier so we could find another place to work. Where are we supposed to go to now?"
"I found it strange that our salaries weren't paid three days ago! With the five of us, each getting eight thousand US dollars as our salary, plus that one thousand for damages, please settle the amount for us. If you don't settle it, I will tell the police that you were the one instructing us to break the lock!"
"Our Wilson family is a prominent business. Do you really think we would be short of your meager wages?" Isla was truly infuriated.
"Yes, yes, the Wilson family is indeed impressive!"
"Are you trying to scare us by saying that you're still the wealthiest family in New York?"
"Now, it's Grandma who has the money, not you! I heard that you caused Grandma's death and left all her assets to Abella, and your parents were arrested!"
"I also heard that you have to pay back over three million in interest every month, you can't afford it at all!"
Isla was taken aback, she didn't expect news of the engagement to spread so quickly, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"And look at yourself, you no longer resemble a young lady."
"No need to state the obvious, their family has fallen apart, those embarrassing videos were leaked, and people didn't want to engage with her anymore!"
"The injuries on her face were probably caused by the groom's side!"
"She used to pretend to be innocent and pure, but who knew she was secretly fooling around."
The servants laughed, making Isla both annoyed and angry. "You, all of you..."
"All your videos are circulating online; I advise you to have some dignity and settle our wages!"
One comment made Isla feel thunderstruck.
Her image as a pure academic achiever, an ambitious young lady, had crumbled?
How did her videos with Kai end up on the internet?
Was Abella responsible??
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but hate that wicked woman!
"Settle our wages now! Otherwise, we won't let you off easily!"
"We, who used to be called upon and ordered around by you, are now in a better situation than you!"
"Hahaha, that's right."
The servants blocked Isla's way, pushing and making it difficult for her. In the end, Isla had no choice but to give them the ring on her ring finger.
"This ring alone is worth a hundred thousand! Take it!" Isla said with disdain in her voice.
It was the ring Remy put on her earlier that day; it should be enough to cover the wages of the five of them, right?
"The rest, consider it my charity to you all!" Isla couldn't care less.
But the servants weren’t convinced, "How do we know if this ring is genuine? What if you're tricking us with a fake one? You, you cunning woman! You're even worse than Abella!"
"What did you say?!" Isla was completely infuriated.
"At least Abella is genuine! Today, we'll keep these earrings of yours." The servants reached out to take off her earrings.
Isla winced from their rough actions; and her earlobe started to bleed. As they were about to leave, Isla couldn't catch up and grew both angry and anxious. "You wait for me!"
Isla would not be easily defeated!!
The Wilson family, they will rise again!!
Just you all wait for me!!
