Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Emma didn’t dare say another word.

Berenger’s expression turned serious. Emma used to be so well–behaved. But she changed so much in such a short time.

He wondered if she had been faking it all along, and this was her true self.,

So disrespectful and rude–she was just like her biological father. Berenger didn’t know who that man was, but what good could come from a drunk?

It wasn’t that he looked down on drunks; it was just that, after what happened, he couldn’t think highly of them.

If Bella hadn’t been so silly to bring Emma back from the orphanage all those years ago, they wouldn’t be in this mess now.

Berenger let out a deep sigh, turned to Bella, and said in a low voice, “It’s partly our fault, but since he’s here now, let’s just let him in and sort things out. That’s the best way.”

Since Berenger had said so, what could Bella say? She couldn’t very well tell him that she felt uneasy and didn’t want to let Scott in. “I’ll do whatever you say.”

Berenger nodded and waved to Bobby. “Go on, invite him in.”

“Yes, sir,” Bobby said and then headed out the door.

Everyone looked a bit solemn, except for Emma, who was eagerly watching the entrance. She was expecting to leave this place and go back to being Ms. Emma Rosewood.

Bobby went to the door and politely opened the iron gate. “Mr. Rosewood, please follow me,” he said, leading the way.

Scott kept a serious expression the whole time. Even after entering the living room and seeing Bella and Emma, his expression didn’t change.

Bella felt uneasy, and her bad feeling got stronger. She was sure Scott’s intentions weren’t that simple.

The happiness on Emma’s face faded a lot when she saw Scott’s serious expression.

“Scott, have a seat,” Berenger said, pointing to the couch next to him.

Scott didn’t stand on ceremony and sat right down. “Berenger, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m here to take Bella and Emma home. If they’ve caused any trouble while they were here, I’m sorry for them.”

“We’re family, no need to worry about such things. No one’s been offended here. I’m grateful to you for taking in Bella and Emma. She was a victim back then too…”

Before Berenger could finish his sentence, Scott interrupted, “Let’s not talk about the past. It’s over now, and thinking about it just makes us sad.”
