Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 76

Elysia took the menu, glanced through it casually, then marked a few items with a pen and handed it to the

waiter.

“Who was that person just now? Nicole asked.

“Robert from the Davis family,” Elysia said.

Mentioning the Davis family, Nicole knew exactly who he was. There weren't many Davis families in Sivro.

Thinking back, the birthday party seemed to have been sabotaged by them. The Davis family really had some

nerve.

If she remembered correctly, the Davis family had once tried to book a table at Scented Garden, saying it was for

a welcbanquet for their eldest daughter, Nora

Now, they could directly refuse them. And they must be put on the blacklist, so the

Davis family

mily would never step into Scented Garden again.

While Nicole was deep in thought, Elysia suddenly asked, “Do you know anyone who does hinterior design?”

“Ah! Are you planning to renovate? Nicole said.

“Yes, I'm not too fond of my bedroom and want to re

to refresh it.”

“I don’t know many people in that field, but I can ask around for you.”

“Thanks”

At that moment, Zane and Jeremy were walking into the front hall Jeremy’s eyes were scanning the crowd.

Sporting the familiar woman sitting by the window, he said with a delighted expression, “Isn't that my goddess?”

Zane noticed as well. From where he stood, he could see Elysia’s back. A faint smile curled his lips, and before

Jeremy could make a move, he headed in their direction.

Jeremy's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he hurried after him, saying, “Hey! Zane, you're not actually

going to greet my goddess, are you?”

e. With you around, you'll ruin my image in my goddess’s eyes, Jeremy said. “Please don't! If you go, it can only

be me.

Zane replied indifferently, Don’t worry. I'm not here for Nicole, 1 just happened to run into an acquaintance.”

Hearing Zane mention meeting an acquaintance in such a casual tone, jeremy surveyed all the guests dining in

the hall. He thought, ‘Who on earth is Zane’s acquaintance that is worth him going out of his way to greet?

Driven by curiosity, Jeremy followed behind Zane, eager to find out who this person was. The closer they got, the

more furrowed his brows became. He thought, Isn't this my goddess’s seat?”

Just as he thought he had been tricked by Zane, he saw Zane stop, look at the slender figure, and say in a gentle

voice, “Elysia, nice to see you again.

Jeremy thought to himself, ‘What? Am | hearing correctly? Zane is speaking to a young girl in such a tender

tone? No, no, no! That isn’t the most shocking part. The most shocking is the hint of affection in his voice.

Nicole had noticed Zane approaching and had thought he was coming for her, but she was surprised when his

first words were directed at Elysia. However, her surprise was less than Jeremy's. After all, she already knew that

Zane had personally attended Elysia’s birthday party. This guy, like her, avoided banquets whenever possible.

The fact that he attended one voluntarily was enough to show that their relationship was not ordinary. Nicole

thought, It's interesting Elysia had turned her head by this time. Seeing Zane behind her, a faint smile appeared

on her face as she said, “What a coincidence,”

Jeremy was shocked again. He thought, Isn’t this the sgirl | saw at Scented Carden before? Zane is

something else! He had thought this iron tree would never bloom, but it seemed he had worried for nothing

“Zane, you're being unfair. Two people are sitting here, and you only greet Elysia. Am I invisible?” Nicole teased

Zane.

Zane replied in a deep voice. “It's not my fault. Someone doesn’t wantto greet you.”"

He also glanced at Jeremy behind him. Nicole then looked at him, raising her eyebrows, and said, “Do you have a

problem with me?

Chapter 76

“That... don’t listen to Zane’s nonsense. It's not truel” Jeremy forced a smile, thinking to himself, ‘Never seen

someone sell out their teammate like

this!”

“Do you mind if we share your table!” Hearing Zane's words, Jeremy's eyes widened in surprise. He thought, ‘Is

this still the Zane | knew?” After all, they had just finished eating.

Nicole looked at Zane, then at Elysia sitting opposite her, and said with a slight curl of her lips, “Of course not,

please have a seat

With that, Zane sat down next to Elysia, and Jeremy followed. Just as he was about to sit next to Nicole, she

stopped him, saying, “I didn’t invite you

Daisy was taken aback. He thought, “Is this really necessary? He said, “Well... isn’t there still a seat

“I think it's better left empty

Jeremy thought to himself, “What should | do about this injustice?

left! It’s just right forto sit

Elysia also noticed the situation. She leisurely observed the man in front of her and then looked at Zane sitting

beside her, suggesting. “Let him sit down! Standing like that isn’t good”

Hearing this, Daisy looked at Elysia with gratitude. Considering she had helped him today, he would reluctantly

accept her as his sister-in-law. Even though she was a bit young, she was good at handling situations.

Although Zane didn’t say it out loud, Jeremy could tell that Zane felt differently about this girl. Calling her sister-

in-law” might beca reality one day.

However, even though Elysia had spoken, without Nicole's consent, he still didn’t sit down. After a while, Nicole

finally said. “What are you waiting for? Sit down!”

“Okay!” Jeremy sat down with a pleased expression, his demeanor quite sycophantic.

Once everyone was seated, the waiter pushed the food cart over. He placed the dishes from the cart onto the

table one by one. Maple-glazed ham, Brown Sugar Baked Beans, Cajun Shrimp... a mix of spicy and sweet,

different flavors.

Elysia was the first to pick up a piece of Maple-Glazed Ham and tasted it carefully, then the Brown Sugar Baked

Beans.

After trying each dish, she was about to reach for the Cajun Shrimp when suddenly a plate appeared in front of

her. It contained Cajun Shrimp that had already been preled

She looked at Zane beside her, a bit embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her face as she said, “Thank you”

This action truly amazed the two people opposite them. Jeremy could never have imagined that such a cunning

and cold Zane would peel shrimp for someone. He thought, ‘Is this something he can do?

Nicole also couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had known Zane for about two years and had never seen

him treat anyone like this.

It seemed Elysia was a special existence to him. She wondered, ‘What the elders would think if they know about

this! Surprised? Or astonished?’

you have to be so...” Jeremy was about to complain about Zane, but after catching his glance, he closed his

mouth. He thought, Forget it, “Zane, do better safe than sorry-

At the stime, at the suburban villa, Paul, the butler, was responsible for delivering Emma to her destination

and then carried the boxes from the car into the villa one by one.

When he cout, he saw Emma still standing at the door, looking around, and couldn't help but remind her,

“Miss, it’s cold outside. You should go inside and rest early.”

With that, he drove away. Emma looked at the villa in front of her, her eyes vacant.
