Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 211

Chapter 211

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 cfrom 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.”

“You are right. Let's not mention it again,” Berenger said, turning his gaze to Bella. “Bella, Scott's here. Why

don’t you say something?”

Bella didn’t answer right away, frowning slightly. There was something off about Scott today. She had an

increasing sense of unease. She looked closely at Scott, inquiring, “Do you really not care about that anymore?”

Scott answered, “So many years have passed. What's there to care about? We're all getting older. Do we really

want to end up

alone?”

Bella tried to find any sign of deception in his eyes, but she saw nothing. ‘Could Scott have changed?’ She

quickly dismissed

“I'm not going back Bella turned her head away.

A determined look flashed in Scott's eyes. She really dared to refuse him.

It was okay if Bella didn’t want to go back, Scott's main goal was Emma. As long as he could take Emma back,

everything else could be sorted out.

As for Bella, it was just as well she wasn’t coming back; it saved him the trouble of dealing with her. But he had

to find a way of getting Emma out of here.

He was thinking about this when he heard Emma’s voice from the living room, sounding a bit annoyed. “If you're

not going back, then fine, but | want to!”

She then looked at Scott, trying to win his favor. “Dad, | want to go back with you...but, do you still regardas

your daughter?”

Scott was pleased-it was surprisingly easy with Emma. He looked at Emma with a bit of joy on his face.

He put on a smile, saying, “Of course. I've raised you for so many years; in my heart, you're already like my own

daughter.” Bella listened to their conversation, her fists clenched tightly, trying hard to hold back her anger.

Emma was such a stupid.

Scott wasn’t Emma real father. Without Bella, there was no connection between Emma and Scout. Going back

with Scout didn’t make any sense.

Bella reprimanded, “Emma, stop being silly!”

Emma fired back. “I'm not being silly! You don’t want to go back with Dad, so why can’t | go back with him?”

Bella was completely furious with Emma and let out all the pent-up anger she had been holding inside. She

slapped Emma across the face. “Say that again!”

Emma covered her stinging cheek, and tears immediately streamed down. This was the second tBella had

hit her. She looked at Bella with hatred in her eyes. “Are you really my birth mother?”

Those words were like a knife stabbing into Bella's heart, making it bleed non-stop. She had given birth to and

raised her,

that thought.

Scott couldn’t change just like that. A person's nature, formed over so many years, couldn't change overnight.

She didn’t believe it. Scott must be up to something.

Berenger persuaded, “Bella, Scott makes a good point. We're not young anymore. What good does it do to keep

arguing like this?

“If Scott can forgive you this time, then when you go back to the Rosewood family, you need to do your duty as a

wife.”

Hearing what Berenger said, Bella quickly looked at him and asked urgently, “Are you trying to get rid of me?”

Berenger frowned slightly, looking a bit unhappy, thinking, ‘Why is Bella being so childish? She made such a big

mistake, and Scott was willing to let it go, even coming to pick her up himself. just for that, she should be

grateful!

Even though Berenger used to have sprejudice against Scott, just based on what he'd done this time, he

was impressed.

No man would go to such lengths. So, hearing Bella's comment now, he thought she was being ungrateful.

Berenger said patiently, “Bella, my place will always be your home. You can canytyou want.

“But since Scott is here to take you back, I think you should go with him and live a good life together.”

“I'm not going back.” Bella turned her head away.
