Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 153: Facing It Together

Chapter 153: Facing It Together

After hearing Eric’s words, Ella was taken aback for a moment. He was absolutely right.

The people insulting her were probably just hired trolls. Meanwhile, the influential figures were coming forward to support and encourage her.

"Don’t be upset anymore. Eat a bit more, okay?" Eric said with a gentle smile. Ella nodded half-heartedly, sullenly picking at her breakfast.

But it wasn’t long before Chloe called, excitedly telling her that all the hateful messages on Twitter had disappeared, leaving only the supportive comments from celebrities and public figures.

Ella turned to look at Eric, suddenly understanding what he had meant.

"Alright, this time, I’ll forgive you!" Ella said with a smile. After all, it was just one tweet from Eric—not everyone was going to believe it completely.

At most, people might think Eric was just teasing her.

"Good girl! People like Leah and Harper, knowing that we’re together, will be more cautious around you. At least when I’m by your side, I won’t let anyone hurt you," Eric said seriously, looking at her. "But when I’m not around, you need to take good care of yourself. I’m planning to hire a bodyguard for you, but some people are very cunning."

Ella was taken aback but nodded in agreement. The constant power struggles within big families were never-ending, and Eric was worried she might get caught in the crossfire.

After all, since James had seen them together at Sapphire Shores Tavern, he already knew about their relationship.

Grace, that malicious and hypocritical woman, would likely spread the news quietly.

They were halfway through breakfast when Mrs. Robinson hurried in. "Young Master... I just got a call from Mrs. Moore... She said that the Master had your belongings moved out and thrown into the guest room!"

Eric’s face darkened immediately.

Ella’s expression also turned sour. She had thought that James was only threatening and wouldn’t actually let Henry forcibly take over Eric’s residence without his consent.

But she hadn’t expected that the former head of the Nelson Group would be so petty and narrow-minded as to actually do something like this.

Ella understood that it wasn’t just pettiness; James never truly considered Eric as his son.

"I’m going there right now!"

Eric’s entire demeanor shifted, anger radiating from him as he called Mark. "Mark, use any means necessary to dig up every bit of dirt on James and his cronies!"

Mark could hear the fury in his boss’s voice and felt a chill run down his spine as he quickly agreed.

Ella’s heart raced with anxiety. Eric was known to be ruthless, at least in the public eye, but James was even more of a monster, with a track record of cruel methods!

These two were like two tigers who couldn’t share the same mountain. If they started fighting, one of them was bound to get hurt!

"Let me go with you, okay?"

Ella rushed over, grabbing Eric’s arm, her wide, tearful eyes filled with concern.

"No, you stay here," Eric said calmly, trying to suppress the rage building in his chest.

He didn’t want Ella to see the ugliness of those people.

Ella raised an eyebrow. She was deeply pained by how James was treating Eric, so she was determined to go with him today.

"Eric, let me come! I want to see just how despicable these people really are!" Ella said coldly.

The girl who had been upset over Twitter moments ago suddenly transformed into a fierce, determined woman.

She resolutely followed behind Eric. When he got into the car, she slipped in right after him.

Eric sighed, realizing he couldn’t stop her. But considering she was already his wife, and knowing that she would eventually have to face the Nelson family, he thought it might be better to let her come along and start building her courage.

Mrs. Robinson watched as Eric’s car sped away, shaking her head. "Such a tragedy! I don’t know what wrongs the Madam committed in her past life to deserve such a husband. It looks like the young master is about to lose his temper again... poor child."

Mrs. Robinson wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. She could never forget how, after the Madam passed away, Eric was constantly bullied by Grace’s servants, yet he stubbornly refused to tell James.

Unable to bear it, Mrs. Robinson had secretly reported it to James, but to her shock, not only did he not believe her, but he also fired her!

When Eric returned to the country, he sought her out and rehired her as his servant.

At the Nelson family villa.

Eric and Ella walked in together and immediately heard laughter coming from the dining room.

Eric coldly walked upstairs, not even glancing at the dining room. Ella heard the harmonious laughter, and her heart sank.

"Oh, Eric, you’re back?" Grace, with her sharp eyes, noticed Eric and quickly greeted him with a smile.

But Eric didn’t respond, not even sparing her a glance as he continued up the stairs.

Henry looked up at the staircase and happened to catch a glimpse of Ella’s perfect profile. The slight worry on her face made his heart tighten.

Without thinking, Henry stood up and followed them upstairs.

Seeing this, Grace hurriedly followed as well.

James hadn’t wanted to deal with Eric, but since his favorite son and wife had gone upstairs, he feared Eric might lose his temper, so he quickly followed too.

Mrs. Moore, who was cleaning the windows in the hall, caught a glimpse of the scene and shook her head, sighing.

A storm was brewing in the Nelson family!

Eric and Ella rushed upstairs to his room. Eric reached out and twisted the doorknob, opening the door.

Eric let out a cold laugh. The key to this room had always been his alone, but now the lock had been broken, probably in preparation for the workers to change it.

Ella bit her lip, silently observing everything inside.

Eric’s eyes burned with anger, seeing that none of his belongings were in the room. It was clear that all his things had been thrown into the guest room!

The Nelson family certainly treated him well!

"Eric, you’re back? Come have breakfast..." Grace’s voice rang out.

"Grace, your son has taken over my room. You must feel very accomplished, right?" Eric laughed lightly, turning to look at his stepmother.

Grace blinked in surprise, her eyes flickering with a hint of hurt. "Eric, if you don’t like it, I’ll have Henry move out right away!"

Ella immediately realized that Grace was far more skilled than Brianna and more hypocritical than Brianna!

This opponent was formidable, which explained why Eric hadn’t made a move against her yet—his position was still unstable, and he hadn’t found a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Move out? I told Henry to stay in this room!" James and Henry arrived together, with James coldly stating, his eyes fixed on Eric as if looking at an enemy.

Eric stared back with equal coldness, his eyes filled with sarcasm and disdain. "So, the former CEO of the Nelson Group has resorted to making his two sons rivals over a single room? If word got out, it would surely be a joke, making it seem like the Nelson family is so poor that we have no space left, forcing them to throw my belongings out of my room without my consent, hmm?"

His tone was dripping with mockery, but his entire demeanor was radiating with a sharp, menacing aura.
