Chapter 148
“After finding out about her origins, the Murphy family offered Yvonne a hundred grand, but Yvonne
didn’t bite. She just hoped to spend some time with Yolanda when she could However, Yolanda wasn’t
having any of it and didn’t want much to do with her.”
“Yvonne tried to visit the Murphy family many times, but was shooed away by the help every time. Now,
she’s in bad health, with no income, and no family or kids to look after her. It’s kinda pitiful”
“She ended up raising an ungrateful brat,” Arabella knew Yolanda’s character. Yolanda would just see
her past as a humiliation, preferring to push Yvonne away to clamber up the social ladder!
“Another odd thing is, the higher–ups from Mercy Hospital back then are all missing, and there’s no
trace of them even in the archives.”
“Now, all we can do is look for clues from Yvonne and other rescuers. But boss, brace yourself. The
results may not come quickly.”
“Mhm.‘ Arabella finished, felt her phone buzz. She glanced at the screen, it was Romeo calling. “Gotta
take this.”
After her call with Romeo and a shower, Arabella hit the sack.
In her dream, she seemed to be back at the Murphy family, watching a little girl holding Olga Murphy’s
hand, teary–eyed, asking, “Mama, when will you come back next time?” “Arabella, can you just stop?
Your dad and I are up to our eyeballs in work every day. Do you think we’re idle? Just because you
have a fever, we should come see you?” Little Arabella felt wronged, crying softly, “I didn’t…”
“Do you think your grandma would call us and force us to come back if you didn’t tell her? Do you know
how much we have to put on hold every time we come back!” “Alright Olga, she’s just a kid,” Attlee
Murphy tried to mediate.
“A kid?” Olga snapped, “Which kid manipulates us with the elders at such a young age? Look at how
your mom spoils her! I tell you, Arabella, the more you do this, the more I dislike you! You are always
crying, so annoying!”
Watching Olga storm off, Attlee hurriedly followed, “Honey, don’t be like this… The kid doesn’t know
that her grandpa teft the company to us after his death, and that so many people in the company are
trying to oust us, setting up roadblocks… She just misses us.”
“This troublemaker, always causing us problems. If she’s so capable, why don’t she make us
unnecessary to work, what can she do besides crying!”
Little Arabella, wiping her tears, seemed to make up her mind. If she becomes better, helps the family
to make money, would mom and dad not have to work so hard? Would they like her then?
With the help of her grandpas, she excelled. Only then did she find out that the relationship between
Grace Murphy and Olga was not good, there were even some unpleasant incidents over the shares…
Olga had no love for Grace, every time Grace was affectionate towards Arabella, Olga’s distaste for
Arabella deepened…
Olga even thought of Arabella as a troublemaker, every time she came back, there would be mistakes
at work, hence she was less and less willing to come home. Throughout the years, Attlee and Olga
seldom came home, the bond between them and Arabella was very weak.
Before, Olga disliked hearing Arabella cry, gradually, Arabella became a child who wouldn’t cry. To
outsiders, she even seemed a bit aloof, not keen on mingling with people. After a long time, Arabella
opened her eyes again. It was already day outside.
She felt hollow inside.
She picked up her phone to check the time, it was only half past six. On the screen were a few unread
messages from Romeo.
[Bella.]
[I miss you so much that I can’t sleep.]
[I want to hold you as I sleep.]
The emptiness in Arabella’s heart seemed to be filled with something, the sense of loss was gone,
replaced by a faint feeling of happiness.
