Chapter 491
“Those we’ve already met were easy–peasy, those outside have got to wait a bit!”
With these words from Attlee, Yolanda perked up, feeling there was some sense in what he said.
But they were so far from the front that Olga was mulling over how to get chummy with those loaded ladies up there.
Suddenly, Yolanda piped up, “Mom, Dad, check it out, it’s Arabella!”
Arabella and a guy were strolling by, hand in hand.
Due to the fleeting moment, Attlee and Olga only caught a glimpse of their backs.
Yolanda clapped a hand over her mouth, gabbing after a while, “It’s that guy from last time!‘
“Which one?” Olga was clueless about her ramblings.
“Last time at Dawn Restaurant, I saw sis with this guy!”
But last time, Yolanda just speculated that this dude was loaded; she didn’t expect him to be so rich that he could attend this auction!
This meant he was at least a big shot in these top conglomerates. So young and already a high–flier.
Yolanda was green with envy and couldn’t figure out how Arabella managed to snag such a wealthy, young, and handsome catch.
“At Dawn Restaurant? I didn’t see. ” Olga didn’t know who she meant, but looking at the guy’s back, she thought, “He seems young; I wonder which company he’s from. I didn’t expect that little girl to have a boyfriend so soon!”
“She’s the founder of QY; it’s only normal that she finds a boyfriend of the same social standing, right? Besides, it’s not weird for her to date at this age; even Yoli is engaged!”
Hearing Attlee say this, Olga reminded her, “Yoli, remember this: if you find someone better, ditch Zachary ASAP, preferably before your engagement party.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I got this.” Yolanda, still staring at the guy’s back, exclaimed again, “Mom, look, that guy and Arabella’s seats are right in the first row, smack in the middle!”
The ones sitting with them were big shots like Kenneth, Louisa, and Hans. People they wanted to suck up to but couldn’t!
And they were all sitting with Arabella!
“Yoli, don’t sweat it; once we win the land today, we’ll snag those seats in the future!”
Hearing her mom’s words, Yolanda felt better. Yeah, just win the land today, and they, the Murphy family, would be back in the game!
“But mom, where are we staying tonight? Still at the hotel?” Yolanda asked in a whisper when no one was around, “We’ve sold our last home too.”
“As long as we win the land today, why worry about a place to live? Worst comes to worst, we’ll move in with the old lady; she still owns a few properties; I remember there’s a villa in the suburbs.”
Yolanda felt reassured, as long as they had a place to stay. The only thing worth mentioning they owned now was the Maybach.
Everything else was sold off! Even the jewelry was gone!
The only things left were the clothes they were going to wear for the engagement party; nothing else was left.
