Chapter 77 I Only Want Her
Lola was stunned, and even Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici found it hard to believe, both exclaiming in unison, "Philippe designed it?"
"This design is beautiful," Mrs. Medici praised. "It's even better than the designs of our own jewelry designers. The style, the creativity... people in love are truly different!"
No one expected Philippe to have such a romantic side. Mr. Medici chuckled and said, "Philippe is thoughtful. His design was unique. Abella, have you ever given him anything in return?"
Upon hearing this, Abella realized that she hadn't. From the moment they met until now, it had been Philippe giving her something. She seemed to have never gave him something or expressed her gratitude.
"You received an extraordinary necklace from Mr. Bourbon, and Philippe designed a bracelet for you. You should think about getting them something in return..." Mr. Medici smiled.
"It’s not a big deal," Philippe spoke sincerely, not wanting the girl next to him to feel embarrassed. "Abella is already the best gift that God has given to the Bourbon family. I only want her. I don't need anything else."
Upon hearing these words, Abella's gaze fell upon him, and he happened to look back at her. The tender love in his eyes made Abella unable to resist, and she averted her gaze.
"Philippe is so sweet-tongued," Mrs. Medici said with satisfaction. "Such a handsome and eloquent young man. Abella, you should cherish him. I can tell that Philippe will be a good husband in the future."
Abella,...
"Thank you, Aunt."
Lola couldn't find any words to describe the situation at this moment.
But she had arrived at the final step. She could now leave this spiral staircase and never have to listen to them talk again...
But her feet seemed to be stuck. She couldn't move no matter what!
Phillipe had actually designed a bracelet for Abella and said something charming!
For someone as reserved as him to say such things, it showed just how deep his feelings for Abella were!
It had only been a few days, but his liking for Abella had already reached such a level!
"Miss Lola..." Maria reached out to support her, "Go change your clothes first. Don't catch a cold."
Lola's eyes were filled with jealousy and tears. She was the one who had first known Phillipe. If Abella didn't come back, everything would be hers!
The position of the Medici family's daughter and even Mrs. Phillipe, they all belonged to her!
Why, why was God so unfair!
Although she felt frustrated, she subconsciously picked out a seductive nightgown, wanting to wear it for Phillipe.
Downstairs, Phillipe had already left, and the living room only had Mr. Medici, Mrs. Medici, Abella, and Lauren.
Lola glanced at them, but didn't go downstairs. She hid by the staircase and eavesdropped.
"I heard about the cafeteria incident from the company's people. I can't believe Hunter is so despicable. He even fed the employees all those additives for a whole year."
Mr. Medici was extremely angry, "Luckily, Abella discovered it. Otherwise, the employees would have suffered even more, and the company would have lost even more money!"
Mrs. Medici, sitting on the sofa, also heard this for the first time, "He's so heartless! Luckily, Abella is talented. But Abella, where did you learn all this professional knowledge?"
She's amazing!
How does she know what additives to put in what food?!
Abella heard from the company's people that she exposed all the "conspiracies" of the cafeteria in a casual way, leaving the employees in awe...
"I saw it online." Abella's tone was indifferent, as if it’s nothing.
"I can't believe there are people like this in the world. Collecting $9 per person for meals, but providing such terrible food for the employees." Mrs. Medici couldn't help but ask, "I heard he's Benjamin's relative?"
"Yes," Abella replied calmly.
"What does Benjamin say about this?"
"Pleading."
"Pleading? And he still has the guts to help Hunter plead?" Mrs. Medici's anger was hidden, "I bet he's involved in this, either profiting from it or covering for Hunter, turning a blind eye."
How dare Hunter cause trouble on the Medici family's territory? There must be someone protecting him!
"Fortunately, Miss Abella went there. Otherwise we wouldn't have known about all these problems in the company!" Lauren couldn't help but say, "Miss Abella is really amazing. She's only been there for a few days and she has already exposed two people!"
These two individuals were both parasites to the company, and needless to say, this discovery saved the company a lot of money.
"Abella, you're only eighteen years old and you've never had experience managing a company before. But this time, you were able to reorganize the company so well, with a perfect balance of firmness and tenderness. Your father and I are grateful and happy. You've saved us and your brother a lot of worries," Mrs. Medici expressed her appreciation.
She wondered why the people from the Wilson family didn't know how to appreciate such an outstanding child!
"Abella has been tired all day. Let her go upstairs and take a shower, and rest for a while," Mr. Medici knew that the child was tired. Managing a company, always involved a lot of trivial matters.
"Right. Go take a shower and relax. Mom will bring you some late-night snacks later," Mrs. Medici showed a loving smile.
"I'm not hungry." Abella replied.
"The chef is already preparing. At least take a little." Mrs. Medici didn't know if Abella had eaten enough in front of Phillipe every day, fearing that she wouldn't eat too much.
"Then I'll go upstairs first," Abella didn't refuse her mother's kindness.
Lola heard that Abella was going upstairs, so she hid in a hurry.
After Abella closed the door, Lola came out and heard Mr. and Mrs. Medici downstairs still praising Abella.
"This child is exceptional. She's a great talent for doing business. We must nurture her."
"Nurture her for what! She's still young. Don't even think about giving her other subsidiary companies!" Mrs. Medici was worried.
"I didn’t say that."
"She is busy with running one company. If her college application results come out and she chooses to go to school, you’d better not let her manage this small company anymore!"
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to my wife. I will support and encourage her no matter what Abella chooses!"
"There you go."
"But the Medici family's industries will definitely be given to her in the future. If she doesn't want to manage them, she can hire someone else to do it...Of course, these are all things to be discussed later."
...
Lola heard their plan, and her nails dug deep into her palms.
Even if Abella was their biological daughter, she was still just a girl. Why should she be entitled to a share of the Medici family's industries?
