Chapter 574 Allocated 288 Million Dollars
"Take good care of her, and it's on the house," James said.
Ivan Bryant thought, 'This girl's luck is unreal, getting James' favor.'
She not only won $320 million but also got free food and drinks on the boat!
The boat had comfy sofas. Abella leaned back, hands behind her head, gazing at the bright moon.
The boat rocked gently on the shimmering lake, like a cradle lulling one to sleep.
The scent of flowers from the shore wafted onto the boat, making everything feel fresh.
Next to the sofa were coffee and snacks. Abella nibbled occasionally, feeling totally relaxed.
Ten staff members got the message and rushed along the shore to the next docking point, pulling the boat back. "Miss, sorry for the delay. You can leave now. If you want to stay, we can give you $5 million in chips to play with. Win or lose, it's on us. Or we can arrange a room for you."
Abella saw they had consulted their superiors and were respectful. She lazily got up and said, "No need."
"Miss, you're welcome anytime." The staff surrounded her like VIPs, politely escorting her to the door. "Do you have a car? Need us to arrange one?"
"No need," she said.
Her hotel had a Rolls-Royce waiting outside.
When everyone saw the driver in the Royal Hotel uniform, they knew she was no ordinary guest.
The Royal Hotel was famous, with over 300 rooms, the cheapest at $100,000 a night.
The most expensive was the penthouse suite on the 52nd floor, with a 360-degree view of the city.
The hotel also had a private spa and a large crystal bathroom for ultimate luxury.
Abella arrived at the hotel, got her key card, took the elevator to the 52nd floor, and opened the door to a luxurious suite.
The lights turned on automatically, the curtains parted, revealing the panoramic view.
Abella took off her baseball cap and mask, tossed her backpack on the sofa, and went to the balcony to admire the city night view.
She rarely had time to enjoy such a view.
The wind lifted her long hair, giving her a sense of comfort.
After a while, her phone beeped with a bank notification.
$288 million had been deposited, Mike's share for her.
She smiled, surprised at Mike's trustworthiness.
Meanwhile, Kimberly had just arrived in Sunhavenia after a twelve-hour flight. She turned on her phone and saw a reply from Abella.
She told Beckett, "Abella went abroad for business. Should we still ask her to come? Would it be too much?"
She felt reluctant to make Abella work hard.
"Ask her. If she's busy, we can reschedule," Beckett said. He pushed two large suitcases, with Kimberly's bag over his arm. Just then, his phone rang. It was someone from James' team asking if they had arrived, saying the car was waiting outside the airport.
Kimberly: [Abella, which country are you in? Can you come to Sunhavenia?]
Abella was surprised by the message. 'Mom and Dad are in Sunhavenia? For business or vacation?'
She quickly replied.
Abella: [I'm close to Sunhavenia. Can I come tomorrow?]
Kimberly: [Sure, no problem. What time works for you?]
Abella: [Probably in the evening.]
Kimberly: [Okay, I'll send you the location before you come.]
Abella: [Alright.]
Meanwhile, Mark was struggling with what to type. Finally, he wrote: [Ms. Wilson, did you see the medical records? Sorry to bother you with this.]
He felt it wasn't right. Abbott hated long-winded messages.
He tried again: [Ms. Wilson, are you asleep? Sorry to bother you so late.]
Too formal, he thought, and deleted it.
[Ms. Wilson, about my patient,]
He worried it was too blunt and kept typing and deleting, unable to find the right words.
Meanwhile, Abella came out of the shower and messaged him first.
Mark was so excited he called James. "James, are you awake? Great news, Ms. Wilson said she has some business here and will be free tomorrow afternoon to see Mrs. Harris!"
"That's fantastic," James said. "What does she like to eat and drink? How much should we prepare for the consultation fee?"
Mark replied, "I'm not sure about her preferences. As for the fee, we'll discuss it when she arrives."
No matter the amount, as long as Abbott could come, Vanessa would be saved!
"I'll pick her up tomorrow," Mark said, overjoyed, and messaged Abella.
Mark: [Thank you so much, Ms. Wilson, for taking the time. Let me know what time works for you tomorrow, and I'll pick you up.]
Abella: [Okay.]
After replying, Abella called Phillipe, briefly sharing what happened today.
Phillipe asked, "Were you hurt?"
He heard that during the auction, a gentleman being chased escaped to her box, and she saved him, knocking out a few people.
"The person you saved today, will they cause trouble? Need me to send more people to escort you back?" Phillipe asked worriedly.
"No worries," Abella said indifferently. "They're no match for me. I'll be done tomorrow and should be back the day after."
"Is Mike reliable? If he doesn't get the Piercing of Heart from his friend tomorrow, how long will you stay?" Phillipe asked again.
"He said he could deliver it tomorrow. He seems eager to cooperate, so it should be genuine," Abella said confidently.
"So you won't cooperate with him?" Phillipe added.
Abella smiled calmly. "Who would be foolish enough to stay and help others make money?"
Phillipe chuckled. "Then rest early and come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Okay." Abella chatted with him a bit longer before hanging up.
