Chapter 838 Explaining What Lola Did
The next morning, Abella was about to leave after breakfast when Kimberly hurriedly called out to her. "Abella, do you have work today? When will you be back?"
Perhaps afraid of making Abella uncomfortable, Kimberly explained, "Usually, as Easter approaches, we have new clothes made to wear during the holiday. This year, your dad and I were thinking of doing family outfits. What do you think?"
Abella looked at her, then at Beckett, who was standing next to her with an expectant look on his face.
"You mean the whole family will wear matching outfits?"
"Yes, it would be so warm and loving!" Kimberly's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Beckett looked at Abella eagerly.
Kimberly added, "Your brothers always thought it was childish and refused to wear them, but this year is different. If you wear it, they will definitely follow suit."
"I know you have a design talent, but let's have someone else make the new clothes so you can relax," Beckett said
"Yes, it's rare to have some time to breathe. I don'twant you to be busy with these things, just wants to hear your opinion. What do you think about the family wearing matching outfits for Easter?" Kimberly asked.
Abella finally said, "I'm fine with it."
"Great!" Kimberly was overjoyed. "When will you be back? I've scheduled some designers to come over to take measurements, choose fabrics, and give some creative ideas. We hope you can be there because we want your opinion to be the main focus for the family outfits."
"I have a corporate meeting, but I'll try to be back by 4 PM," Abella said, surprised at herself. In the past, she wouldn't have bothered to explain where she was going or what she was doing.
Since returning to her biological family, she seemed to have changed a lot.
"Okay, don't work too hard. I'll have them come by 4 PM. Take your time, no rush," Kimberly said, extremely happy, unable to hide the joy on her face.
The thought of announcing Abella's identity in a few days and appearing in matching outfits made her smile uncontrollably.
"I'll get going then," Abella said goodbye and left.
At that moment, both Beckett and Kimberly's phones rang. It was a message from Lola.
Lola first sent Kimberly a lengthy heartfelt message, then sent another long, organized message to Beckett.
Each paragraph was long, gradually awakening Beckett and Kimberly's memories of the past years.
Beckett and Kimberly felt like they were back ten years ago, holding her hand as she took her first steps, playing with her toys.
Every time she won an award, received praise from teachers, or excelled, they felt proud and gratified.
Every time she got sick, injured, or cried, they felt heartbroken, anxious, and worried.
Reading these messages, Beckett's eyes couldn't help but well up.
After all, they had raised Lola for eighteen years and had genuine feelings for her. Every warm and happy moment during that time was awakened by her, successfully touching his heart.
"Let's give her another chance," Beckett said softly. "I think she really realizes her mistake."
Lauren, who was directing the staff to decorate the house for Easter, saw that Beckett and Kimberly were somewhat moved by Lola's words and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Mr. Medici, Mrs. Medici, you must not believe Ms. Lola Medici's words!" Lauren couldn't help but step forward. "Do you remember Ms. Stewart, Ms. Barnes, Ms. Nelson, and Ms. Reynolds? They were Ms. Lola Medici's best friends, but they broke off their friendship with her last time!"
Kimberly was a bit surprised and, snapping out of Lola's words, looked up and asked, "What happened?"
"Last time they came to see Ms. Lola Medici, they happened to meet Ms. Abella Medici. They spoke rudely to Ms. Abella Medici, calling her a homewrecker. Mr. Steven Medici asked them and found out that Ms. Lola Medici had told them she broke up with Mr. Bourbon, and Mr. Bourbon, to win her back, found Ms. Abella Medici as a new lover to provoke her."
"What did you say?" Kimberly, who had been somewhat moved by Lola's words, now felt inexplicably shocked.
Even Beckett couldn't believe it. What kind of lies was Lola telling? How could she do this?
"Mr. Bourbon was also there and stood up for Ms. Abella Medici," Lauren continued. "Ms. Lola Medici's friends couldn't believe she would deceive them. They were very sad and angry and broke off their friendship with her on the spot. They said Ms. Lola Medici was enjoying the life that rightfully belonged to Ms. Abella Medici and should return it to her. Ms. Abella Medici didn't ask her to return it and even let her stay and continue to have everything she had before. But Ms. Lola Medici didn't appreciate it and slandered Ms. Abella Medici behind her back!"
Kimberly didn't expect Lola's friends to have such strong principles and be more clear-headed than Lola.
Unfortunately, Lola didn't learn from them and lost four good friends.
"These four heiresses were indeed well-mannered. After finding out the truth, they apologized to Ms. Abella Medici and Mr. Bourbon on the spot. After they left, Mr. Steven Medici asked Ms. Lola Medici to apologize to Ms. Abella Medici, but Ms. Lola Medici's apology was insincere, clearly not realizing her mistake. Mr. Steven Medici was so angry that he sent her to her room to reflect and forbade her from coming downstairs to eat until she figured it out."
Kimberly didn't know that Steven had punished Lola before.
"Mr. Steven Medici's temper is well-known. His brothers all fear him, and Ms. Lola Medici is no exception. However, after being punished once, Ms. Lola Medici pretended to apologize to Ms. Abella Medici by making coffee, baking cakes, and bringing drinks. But after so long, at Mr. Wodehouse's birthday party, she repeated her old tricks, slandering Ms. Abella Medici in front of her friends, saying Ms. Abella Medici ruined her relationship with Mr. Bourbon. What does this show? It shows she hasn't realized her mistake at all!"
Hearing this, Kimberly and Beckett were clearly very angry, feeling like they had raised an ingrate!
Logically, after Steven punished her and her four good friends and broke off their friendship, she should have reflected on herself.
Instead, she didn't feel regret or guilt for losing her friends, didn't turn over a new leaf after being punished by Steven, and didn't learn from the incident. Instead, she repeated her old tricks, slandering Abella in front of her friends again.
Did she think that as long as she apologized when caught, everything would quickly blow over?
"No wonder I haven't seen Lola's friends come over for so long. So that's what happened," Kimberly finally realized.
