Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Justin was stunned. He wanted to say no because this was originally a dinner between him and Elysia, but now

Zane suddenly showed up.

But he couldn't think of a good reason to refuse. He couldn't say there wasn’t enough space because it was

clearly a lie.

Their seats were somewhat similar to sofas, which were very wide, more than enough for two people to sit on

one side.

Moreover, Zane was a well-known businessman, and it wasn’t wise to offend him.

Besides, even if Justin said no, Zane would probably insist on joining them. “Of course not. Please take a seat, Mr.

Hartley,” Justin said, trying to sound welcoming.

“Thank you,” Zane said, then looked at Elysia and said in a gentle tone, “Elysia, I'll sit next to you.”

Hearing this, Elysia made sspace for him.

After Zane sat down, the waiter arrived with a cart of dishes and began to serve them.

Zane began piling food onto Elysia’s plate. Justin watched in silence, feeling a little awkward.

Zane kept picking up food for her, and her plate was piled up.

Seeing that he was going to pick up more, Elysia hurriedly held His hand. “It'll be enough.”

“You're too thin. You should eat more.”

Justin felt even more out of place. He could tell that there was something between Elysia and Zane, and he

sensed that Zane) was being a little hostile towards him.

He thought Zane might like Elysia, which was the only and most reasonable explanation he could think of.

“Why don’t you eat anything?” Elysia couldn’t help but ask, seeing that Justin didn’t eat anything.

“Well,” Justin picked up ssalad.

Hearing this, Zane looked at Elysia with a look of grievance. “Elysia, | didn't eat anything either.”

Hearing the grievance in Zane’'s tone, the food that Elysia just stuffed into her mouth almost sprayed out. She

didn’t expect Zane to act like a spoiled child.

She smiled, “There you go.”

After saying that, she put sfood on his plate.

Zane laughed, “Thank you, Elysia.”

Emma and Robert had just entered Grand Restaurant, and she saw Elysia sitting by the window.

Then they saw Justin and another person who seemed to be Zane. Emma’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn't

figure out why the three of them would dine together.

‘How can she be so lucky? She has so many men around her. Even Justin and Zane were with her, Emma thought

to herself.

Robert saw Emma stop walking, and she was staring at something, so he followed her gaze and looked over.

When he saw Justin and Zane, he was also a little surprised. It was such a coincidence.

“Do you want to go over and say hi?” He whispered as he approached Emma.

“Forget it, if Elysia sees me, she will probably be unhappy again.

Hearing Emma’s words, Robert couldn't help feeling a little distressed and reached out to hug her. Emma was so

kind, no matter how Elysia bullied her, she would still consider Elysia.

“Robert, let's go. Or we might be late for the banquet.”

“Okay,” Robert nodded and led her upstairs to the private room where the banquet was being held.

When they entered, everyone's attention turned to them. Matthew's face darkened when he saw Emma. He had

specifically told Robert not to bring her.

When Matthew's younger brother, Frank, saw Robert, he smiled, Robert, is this your girlfriend?”

Hearing Frank's words, Robert felt shy. “Frank, don’t make fun of me.”

“Why, she’s not a girlfriend?” Frank frowned. “Although it's a welcbanquet for Nora, we're all family

members, And it’s a family banquet anyway, yet you bring a girl with you.”

Frank-“Just as Robert was about to speak, Matthew interrupted him. “Frank, she is just an ordinary friend of

Robert, not his girlfriend.”

“Really?” Frank didn’t seem to believe it.

Vivian, Frank’s wife, rolled her eyes, “Hubby, Matthew has already said so. Stop asking.”

Hearing the scolding, Frank scratched the back of his head. “I was just asking. Honey, don’t get mad.”

Hearing this, everyone present laughed.

Rachel quipped, “You're such a loving couple, unlikeand Matthew.”

“Today is about Nora. Let's not make this about me,” Matthew said, trying to shift the focus.

Everybody laughed.

“Matthew has always been like this. Vivian, if you don’t like him, you can kick him out and find a new one,” Linda

quipped.

Matthew was unhappy when he heard this. “Linda, don’t say that

“Linda, stop talking. Matthew will be angry,” Vivian laughed as she said.

Matthew was older than Linda and Frank, so he naturally becthe head of the Davis family.

In this regard, no one had any objections. Frank had always liked a carefree life and wasn’t interested in being

the head of the family, so the Davis family had always been harmonious.

Emma, however, felt out of place. She had hoped to use this opportunity to establish herself as Robert's

girlfriend and win over Rachel. And maybe Matthew would accept her as his daughter-in-law.

But Matthew had quickly dismissed her presence, and Rachel seemed less interested in her than before. For a

while, she didn’t know what to do.

Nora fixed her eyes on Emma and was suspicious of Emma’s intentions.

She remembered how Emma had never reciprocated Robert's feelings in the past.

Emma had always played coy and acted helpless, which bewitched Robert.

She had warned Robert many times, but he had been too infatuated to listen. And Rachel used to feel happy to

have Emma as her daughter-in-law.

But in just over two years, Emma had been different.
