Chapter 114
Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns
Chapter 114 Chapter 114 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 couldnât think of a good reason to refuse. He couldnât say there wasnât 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 wellâknown businessman, and it wasnât wise to offend him.
Besides, even if Justin said no, Zane would probably insist on joining them. âOf course not. Please take a seat, Mr. Hartley,â
Justin said, trying to sound welcoming.
âThank you,â Zane said, then looked at Elysia and said in a gentle tone, âElysia, Iâll sit next to you.â
Hearing this, Elysia made some space for him.
After Zane sat down, the waiter arrived with a cart of dishes and began to serve them.
Zane began piling food onto Elysiaâs 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. âItâll be enough.â
âYouâre too thin. You should eat more.â
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.
âWhy donât you eat anything?â Elysia couldnât help but ask, seeing that Justin didnât eat anything.
âWell,â Justin picked up some salad.
Hearing this, Zane looked at Elysia with a look of grievance. âElysia, I didnât eat anything either.â
Hearing the grievance in Zaneâs tone, the food that Elysia just stuffed into her mouth almost sprayed out. She didnât expect Zane to act like a spoiled child.
She smiled, âThere you go.â
After saying that, she put some food on his plate.
Zane laughed, âThank you, Elysia.â
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. Emmaâs eyes widened in shock. She couldnât figure out why the three of them would dine together.

+13 âHow 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.
âDo you want to go over and say hi?â He whispered as he approached Emma.
âForget it, if Elysia sees me, she will probably be unhappy again.
Hearing Emmaâs words, Robert couldnât 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.
âRobert, letâs go. Or we might be late for the banquet.â
âOkay,â Robert nodded and led her upstairs to the private room where the banquet was being held.
When they entered, everyoneâs attention turned to them. Matthewâs face darkened when he saw Emma. He had specifically told Robert not to bring her.
When Matthewâs younger brother, Frank, saw Robert, he smiled, Robert, is this your girlfriend?â
Hearing Frankâs words, Robert felt shy. âFrank, donât make fun of me.â
âWhy, sheâs not a girlfriend?â Frank frowned. âAlthough itâs a welcome banquet for Nora, weâre all family members, And itâs a family banquet anyway, yet you bring a girl with you.â
Frank-âJust as Robert was about to speak, Matthew interrupted him. âFrank, she is just an ordinary friend of Robert, not his girlfriend.â
âReally?â Frank didnât seem to believe it.
Vivian, Frankâs wife, rolled her eyes, âHubby, Matthew has already said so. Stop asking.â
Hearing the scolding, Frank scratched the back of his head. âI was just asking. Honey, donât get mad.â
Hearing this, everyone present laughed.
Rachel quipped, âYouâre such a loving couple, unlike me and Matthew.â
âToday is about Nora. Letâs not make this about me,â Matthew said, trying to shift the focus.
Everybody laughed.
âMatthew has always been like this. Vivian, if you donât like him, you can kick him out and find a new one,â Linda quipped.
Matthew was unhappy when he heard this. âLinda, donât say that âLinda, stop talking. Matthew will be angry,â Vivian laughed as she said.
Matthew was older than Linda and Frank, so he naturally became the head of the Davis family.
In this regard, no one had any objections. Frank had always liked a carefree life and wasnât interested in being the head of the family, so the Davis family had always been harmonious.
4.58 Chapter 114 Emma, however, felt out of place. She had hoped to use this opportunity to establish herself as Robertâs girlfriend and win over Rachel. And maybe Matthew would accept her as his daughterâinâlaw.
But Matthew had quickly dismissed her presence, and Rachel seemed less interested in her than before. For a while, she didnât know what to do.
Nora fixed her eyes on Emma and was suspicious of Emmaâs intentions.
She remembered how Emma had never reciprocated Robertâs 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 daughterâinâlaw.
But in just over two years, Emma had been different.
