Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 738: fcjfxfj
Chapter 738: fcjfxfj
If the collaboration between Mrs. Lisa and the Davis Group succeeds, Robert will undoubtedly see her in a new light.
"You’re right, let’s proceed as you suggested. Otherwise, twenty million would indeed be heart-wrenching. Having your mommy wear it would be such a waste!"
Robert chuckled, while Ella pressed her lips together slightly. She knew her father’s character all too well. For the sake of profit, he would stop at nothing.
After the Aurora Diadem incident, Robert’s attitude towards Brianna and Hannah had changed subtly, often showing dissatisfaction with the mother and daughter.
Three days later, the designer of the Aurora Diadem indeed died in a car accident, causing his works to be frantically speculated in the market.
That Aurora Diadem was already in Robert’s hands. Although Brianna had won it at the auction, Robert saw it as Ella’s suggestion that led him to gift the precious crown to Mrs. Lisa, thereby securing a fifty-billion-dollar deal.
To Robert, a twenty-million crown on his daughter’s or wife’s head was far less valuable than using it to bolster his business. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Mrs. Lisa was full of praise for the Aurora Diadem and commended Ella’s keen eye. Overjoyed, Robert rewarded Ella with a million dollars.
When Robert learned that Eric had gifted Ella a painting worth thirty million, he cherished her even more.
Brianna and Hannah were deeply resentful! Although the Aurora Diadem was no longer in their possession, it was Brianna who had originally bought it. Yet, it was Ella who received the reward and Robert’s affection, while Brianna only faced his disapproval!
On the surface, Brianna seemed more attentive to Ella. She no longer bought luxury goods for her, but whatever she bought or ate, Ella always came first.
However, Brianna and Hannah had already plotted a scheme to be executed in August, one that would make Ella lose the Davis family’s favor completely!
August came, with the blazing sun scorching the earth, and the air seemed to shimmer with heat.
At lunch, Ella sat beside Robert and handed him a glass of iced lemon water. "Dad, it’s so hot today, and you’ve been working so hard. Have some lemon water to cool off."
"Heh, Ella is becoming more and more considerate!" Robert nodded in satisfaction.
Not to be outdone, Hannah placed a piece of roast chicken on Robert’s plate with a smile. "Dad, this roast chicken was made by mommy herself. She spent several hours on it. Try it, eat more, don’t stay so thin!"
Brianna glanced at Hannah and secretly approved.
"Sis, in this heat, it’s better to eat something lighter. Dad, Mom, don’t you agree?" Ella said with a naive smile.
Brianna’s expression changed slightly.
Ella’s words were clearly implying that Brianna hadn’t considered Robert’s health by preparing such greasy food in the sweltering heat!
Robert shot an annoyed glance at Brianna, then looked at Ella with satisfaction. "Ella is right. This child truly thinks of me in everything, she’s really grown up!"
"Yes, if I doesn’t behave, I’ll make you worry," Ella said playfully, winking.
Robert laughed heartily, feeling that his once overlooked eldest daughter had indeed matured.
On the contrary, his once well-behaved second daughter had recently been a constant disappointment.
"Good girl, come on, Ella, have some more roast chicken. You’re young, it’s okay to eat more meat." A trace of tenderness flickered in Robert’s eyes.
Ella sneered inwardly. In her previous life, Robert had been deeply disappointed in her because of her constant, unchecked extravagance.
But in this life, she would never let her father become her enemy again.
Watching the intimate scene between father and daughter, Brianna nearly choked with anger. How had that little wench suddenly become so cunning?
Sensing that something was increasingly amiss, she finished her meal calmly before calling Hannah into the study and shutting the door.
"Mom, what’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?" Seeing Brianna’s furious expression, Hannah quickly stepped forward and took her hand.
Brianna’s eyes glinted with a chilling coldness.
"Hannah, don’t you think Ella has been acting very strange? Just think about what’s happened these past few days—she’s come out on top every single time!"
Brianna said coldly, her fingers drumming the desk with a dull thud.
Hannah’s face darkened as she listened.
Brianna was right. A lot had happened these past days, and each time, Ella had come out ahead.
"Mom’s right... Take what just happened as an example. Normally, she would have been ecstatic over that Aurora Diadem. But after winning it, she said she never asked you to buy it... She deliberately exposed us both to Dad."
A trace of malice flickered in Hannah’s eyes. "She implied that you were the one who bought the twenty-million-dollar crown and hinted that I wore a five-hundred-thousand-dollar gown... Naturally, Dad’s impression of us worsened!"
"Exactly... That girl has shown her claws! But I can’t understand it. I raised that little wench to be extravagant and frivolous. How has she suddenly become so clever?"
This was Brianna’s biggest question.
"Mom, you’re right. She used to be obsessed with luxury goods and wasn’t that smart... Could someone be advising her?"
Hannah was startled, "Could it be Mrs. Taylor from that day?"
"Impossible! Mrs. Taylor didn’t talk to her much, and at the auction, there was no suspicious interaction between them."
Brianna dismissed the idea of Mrs. Taylor being the mastermind. She was too straightforward to be so calculating.
"So, Mom, what do we do now?" Hannah gritted her teeth. "I hate that little witch! If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have embarrassed myself at the charity gala!"
"No rush... I’ll have someone keep an eye on her. We need to come up with a plan in the next few days..."
Brianna took a deep breath. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying Ella seemed.
Unnoticeably, she had pushed both Brianna and her daughter into the position of being seen as spendthrifts!
What a cunning move!
But Brianna had weathered decades of storms. A mere girl could never be her match.
One day, Brianna vowed to have that wench kneel at her feet, begging for life, begging for death!
