Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 44

When the Davis family left the Rosewood residence, none of them were in a good mood.

Scott and Bella saw them off while only Elysia and Emma were left in the living room.

“Why did you do that?” Emma hesitated for a moment, but the question slipped out.

Elysia shot her a sideways glance with a smirk on her face. “Why? Don’t you want me to do that?”

“Why would I want you to do that?” Emma said.

Elysia said, “Don’t you want to be Robert’s fiancée? If I don’t agree, you might be able to marry into the Davis family.”

Emma froze. She didn’t believe that Elysia would be so kind, but she couldn’t think of any other proper explanation. She thought, ‘Could it be that she didn’t like Robert?‘

Emma had guessed right. Elysia didn’t like Robert at all, which was why she had refused–nothing to do with helping Emma.

Matthew had made it clear with his words earlier–Emma wasn’t good enough to be his daughter–in–law. Even if Elysia refused the Davis family, it was still uncertain whether Emma would marry Robert.

When Scott returned after seeing the Davis family off, he pointed at Elysia and shouted, “What’s wrong with you?”

Bella tugged at Scott’s sleeve. “Calm down. Even if Elysia can’t get into the Davis family, we still have Emma.”

This was Bella’s true intention. She tried to calm Scott down, not out of kindness, but because Elysia had rejected the marriage proposal from the Davis family. This meant her dear daughter Emma still had a chance to marry into the Davis family.

She considered herself a good mother, always planning for Emma’s future. However, her perspective was too simple. Even without Elysia, the Davis family might not accept Emma.

Scott shook off Bella’s hand and snapped sharply, “Do you think it’s that simple? Why do you think the Davis family didn’t bring up the engagement until after Elysia returned to the Rosewood residence? They were interested in her.

“Didn’t you hear what Matthew was implying? They don’t want Emma! Got it?”
