Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!

Chapter 74: Annoying Sisters

"Ella... you silver-tongued homewrecker! You’re shameless..." Emma trembled with rage but couldn’t argue further.

Regarding that marriage arrangement, Avery was indeed deluding herself.

Nelson Group and Allen Group had always been partners, and Avery and Eric had grown up together.

However, Eric had never acknowledged Avery as his beloved or his fiancée.

Eric’s public statement canceling the engagement made it clear that it was an arrangement made by their parents without his consent.

Everyone had seen that statement, so Emma’s tantrum gained her no support.

"Emma, you’re the shameless one. Your sister was deluding herself. Mr. Nelson likes Ella. What are you shouting about?" Chloe scoffed.

"Exactly, everyone saw Mr. Nelson’s statement canceling the engagement!"

"Yes, I saw it. Mr. Nelson explicitly said he had never heard of the marriage arrangement."

"It was all decided by the elders, not Mr. Nelson. He never acknowledged Avery."

"Emma is so shameless, attacking others because her sister couldn’t win a man’s heart!"

Emma’s face flushed red and white with anger. "Ella, just you wait!"

Emma left in a huff, and Ella couldn’t help but frown. The world was indeed full of annoying, shameless people.

Just as Ella was about to head to the Davis family’s car, she noticed a flashy Lamborghini parked nearby. The window rolled down, revealing Eric’s handsome face, brimming with a smile.

"Isn’t that Mr. Nelson?"

"So handsome, Ella really struck gold. Suddenly she doesn’t seem so pitiable, having someone like Eric who loves her!"

Many girls looked at Ella with envy, cursing their fate that it wasn’t them Eric fancied.

Ella approached the car and said to Hannah, "I won’t be home for dinner. You all eat without me."

Eric stepped out, his tall, elegant figure making Hannah stand there in a daze, overwhelmed with resentment.

Watching Ella get into Eric’s car, Emma, still seething nearby, felt a surge of jealousy. Neither she nor her sister could win over such a perfect man, yet Ella had.

"What’s wrong? You don’t look so good," Eric asked gently as he fastened his seatbelt and noticed Ella’s troubled expression.

Ella rolled her eyes at him. "It’s your former fiancée’s sister, Emma. She’s just as obnoxious as Avery."

Eric couldn’t help but laugh. "That’s why I don’t like them and why I like you!"

"Stop flattering me!"

"If she’s bothering you too much, I can have her expelled from school," Eric said seriously, starting the car and heading towards Celestial Feast.

"No need. The Allen Group isn’t an easy enemy, right?" Ella didn’t want to cause Eric any more trouble.

"The Allen Group might be strong, but they’re not stronger than me," Eric said arrogantly, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

His grandfather held a significant position in Country S’s government, and Eric was his favorite grandson. Eric’s challenging early years were a result of his grandfather’s desire for him to become resilient and capable.

The Allen Group was powerful, but Eric was more powerful!

"Seriously, you’re so arrogant. The Allen Group is your partner. It wouldn’t be good to strain relations over me," Ella said, though she loathed Emma, she hadn’t planned on resorting to extreme measures to get her out of school.

"Alright, I’ll leave her be for now. But if she really gets on your nerves, let me know."

"You make me sound like a tyrant who kicks out anyone I dislike," Ella said with a laugh, feeling a warm happiness bloom in her heart.

Since the supermarket incident, Eric has been extremely protective of Ella.

Whenever she goes out alone or with Chloe, there are always two plainclothes bodyguards following them.

"Where are you taking me now?"

"To Celestial Feast for dinner. You like it there, right?" Eric’s eyes sparkled. He loved Celestial Feast because it was a restaurant founded by his mother.

"I do like it." Ella smiled. As long as she was with him, it didn’t matter where they went to eat.

When they arrived at Celestial Feast, it was already six in the evening.

Eric, holding Ella’s hand, led her towards their reserved private room. Just as they were about to open the door, a familiar voice called out from behind.

"Eric!"

Ella frowned. This world is so small, and annoying people are everywhere.

Eric turned around to see Avery approaching with her parents. She looked somewhat haggard, but her eyes lit up when she saw him.

However, upon noticing Ella by his side, Avery’s expression darkened instantly.

"So you’re here too!"

Avery sneered. Eric nodded slightly towards the middle-aged couple.

"Mr. Allen, Mrs. Allen, what a coincidence."

Mr. Allen nodded back. "Indeed it is. Is this your girlfriend?"

Mr. Allen, as the president of Allen Group, carried himself with great dignity. Although Eric’s statement canceling the engagement had been a blow to the Allen Group’s reputation, as an elder, he couldn’t hold a grudge against a younger person.

Moreover, the engagement had been arranged without consulting Eric at all.

"Yes, this is my girlfriend, Ella. Ella, this is Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen."

Out of respect for Mr. Allen, Eric chose not to make a fuss.

Avery glared at Ella with hatred, as if she wanted to tear her apart.

Mrs. Allen looked at Ella coldly, her disdain and contempt as sharp as a sword.

"Hello." Ella nodded politely.

"Daddy, Mommy! Sister!" At that moment, Emma arrived, having come straight from school to join them for dinner.

Seeing Ella, Emma sneered and said sarcastically, "Ella, this is my sister! See, she’s much prettier than you, with a much better figure! You’re not good enough for Eric; only my sister is!"

Eric’s face darkened, but Ella held his hand. "Sorry, I’ve already met her. Miss Avery threw a cup of coffee at me before Eric and I were even officially together."

Avery’s face turned beet red, and she forced a cold smile. "Miss Davis, you sure hold grudges. I didn’t expect you to still remember that. I was emotional at the time and acted inappropriately."

"Ella, you should leave Eric. With your looks..." Emma started, but was abruptly cut off.

"Shut up!" Mr. Allen snapped coldly.

Emma pouted angrily but didn’t dare say anything more.

"Miss Davis, I apologize for my younger daughter’s rudeness and immaturity. I’m sorry you had to witness this."
