Chapter 76
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.
âWho was that person just now? Nicole asked.
âRobert from the Davis family,â Elysia said.
Mentioning the Davis family, Nicole knew exactly who he was. There werenât 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 welcome banquet 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, âDo you know anyone who does home interior design?â
âAh! Are you planning to renovate? Nicole said.
âYes, Iâm not too fond of my bedroom and want to re to refresh it.â
âI donât know many people in that field, but I can ask around for you.â
âThanksâ
At that moment, Zane and Jeremy were walking into the front hall Jeremyâs eyes were scanning the crowd.
Sporting the familiar woman sitting by the window, he said with a delighted expression, âIsnât that my goddess?â
Zane noticed as well. From where he stood, he could see Elysiaâs back. A faint smile curled his lips, and before Jeremy could make a move, he headed in their direction.
Jeremyâs mouth dropped open in surprise, and he hurried after him, saying, âHey! Zane, youâre not actually going to greet my goddess, are you?â
e. With you around, youâll ruin my image in my goddessâs eyes, Jeremy said. âPlease donât! If you go, it can only be me.
Zane replied indifferently, Donât worry. Iâm not here for Nicole, 1 just happened to run into an acquaintance.â
Hearing Zane mention meeting an acquaintance in such a casual tone, jeremy surveyed all the guests dining in the hall. He thought, âWho on earth is Zaneâs 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, Isnât this my goddessâs seat?â
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, âElysia, nice to see you again.
Jeremy thought to himself, âWhat? Am I hearing correctly? Zane is speaking to a young girl in such a tender tone? No, no, no!
That isnât 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 Jeremyâs. After all, she already knew that Zane had personally attended Elysiaâs 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, Itâs interesting Elysia had turned her head by this time. Seeing Zane behind her, a faint smile appeared on her face as she said, âWhat a coincidence,â
Jeremy was shocked again. He thought, Isnât this the same girl I 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 âZane, youâre being unfair. Two people are sitting here, and you only greet Elysia. Am I invisible?â Nicole teased Zane.
Zane replied in a deep voice. âItâs not my fault. Someone doesnât want me to greet you.ââ
He also glanced at Jeremy behind him. Nicole then looked at him, raising her eyebrows, and said, âDo you have a problem with me?
1/2 Download 12.07 PM Chapter 76 âThat... donât listen to Zaneâs nonsense. Itâs not truelâ Jeremy forced a smile, thinking to himself, âNever seen someone sell out their teammate like this!â
âDo you mind if we share your table!â Hearing Zaneâs words, Jeremyâs eyes widened in surprise. He thought, âIs this still the Zane I knew?â 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, âOf 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, âI didnât invite you Daisy was taken aback. He thought, âIs this really necessary? He said, âWell... isnât there still a seat âI think itâs better left empty Jeremy thought to himself, âWhat should I do about this injustice?
left! Itâs just right for me to sit Elysia also noticed the situation. She leisurely observed the man in front of her and then looked at Zane sitting beside her, suggesting. âLet him sit down! Standing like that isnât goodâ
Hearing this, Daisy looked at Elysia with gratitude. Considering she had helped him today, he would reluctantly accept her as his sisterâinâlaw. Even though she was a bit young, she was good at handling situations.
Although Zane didnât say it out loud, Jeremy could tell that Zane felt differently about this girl. Calling her sisterâinâlawâ might become a reality one day.
However, even though Elysia had spoken, without Nicoleâs consent, he still didnât sit down. After a while, Nicole finally said.
âWhat are you waiting for? Sit down!â
âOkay!â 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.
Mapleâglazed 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 MapleâGlazed 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, âThank youâ
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, âIs this something he can do?
Nicole also couldnât 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, âWhat the elders would think if they know about this! Surprised?
Or astonished?â
you have to be so...â Jeremy was about to complain about Zane, but after catching his glance, he closed his mouth. He thought, Forget it, âZane, do better safe than sorry-
At the same time, 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 came out, he saw Emma still standing at the door, looking around, and couldnât help but remind her, âMiss, itâs cold outside. You should go inside and rest early.â
With that, he drove away. Emma looked at the villa in front of her, her eyes vacant.
