Unlike Scott, when Bella saw Emma, her eyes were filled with tenderness. Especially seeing her cry so sadly, she

felt sad too. If it weren't for Scott grabbing her arm, she probably would have already pulled Emma into her

embrace.

Elysia observed their expressions closely, sneering in her heart. She thought, ‘You're really Emma’s beloved

mom.’

“Emma!” Scott’s voice sounded displeased.

Emma had noticed them a long tago. She had planned to go up and speak to them, but when she saw the

coldness in Scott's eyes, she hesitated.

She thought, ‘Things aren't like they used to be, and Scott no longer considershis daughter. If that's the

case, why should I go and make things uncomfortable for myself? What had | done to deserve such treatment?”

When Scott saw Emma's lack of response, his irritation grew. However, he still managed to hold onto a thread of

reason. After all, they were in public, and there were so many people watching. No matter how frustrated he

was, he wouldn't vent it.

He frowned and softened his tone a little. “Emma, chere.”

Emma couldn't understand Scott's intentions. She thought, ‘Didn't he decide to disown me? So why was he

acting this way now?’

Elysia watched them with a hint of amusement. She thought, ‘Emma is really stupid. Couldn't she see that Scott

was deliberately trying to distance her from Robert?’

She kept wondering, ‘Scott's idea is simple-he doesn’t want to get involved. Emma was really dense if she

couldn't figure that out. Look at her, even daring to go against Scott. Is she still dreaming of returning to the

Rosewood family? What a naive girl!"

However, Elysia could understand. After all, it was Emma who had caused Matthew's death. She thought, ‘Did

she think that shedding a few tears would make up for the wrongs she had done?’

Elysia took a step closer to Emma, her eyes gleaming with mischief, but her tone was cold. “Wow, you're crying

so hard. Could it be that you feel guilty?”

Emma froze and thought, ‘What did Elysia mean? Did she know something?‘ Before she figured it out, Elysia

continued, “What you do in the dark will eventually cto light. No matter how sad you pretend to be, it won't

erase the things you've done.”

“What are you talking about, Elysia?” Robert raised an eyebrow, his tone displeased. He had planned to stay

silent for the sake of how she had helped him before, but seeing her act so recklessly, he just couldn't hold back

anymore.

Today was his father’s funeral, and he thought that no matter how much Elysia disliked Emma, this was not the

tor place for her to throw out cold words and humiliate her.

Elysia looked at Robert with an expression that screamed “Are you serious?” She said, “Oh, so now you're angry,

huh? If Mr. Davis knew you were protecting her like this, he definitely wouldn't rest in peace.”

“Enough, Elysia!” Robert's voice was sharp and threatening.

Emma was more convinced than ever that Elysia knew something. She thought, ‘Could it be the incident that

happened at the hospital that day? Did she see something?’

Scott's face was already as dark as thunder because not a single one of his daughters gave him peace.

“See? | told you not to bring her,” Bella whispered to Scott, leaning in close.

Scott frowned deeper and turned to Elysia. “Stop causing trouble!”

Hearing this, Elysia rubbed her nose and stepped back behind Scott, obediently keeping her distance.

After paying respects to Matthew's coffin and exchanging a few pleasantries with the Davis family, Scott left. Not

long after the car drove away from the Davis residence, Scott's face fell. “That was completely disrespectful,

Elysia!”

Bella said, “Exactly, what you did just now was a huge embarrassment to the Rosewood family.”

“Embarrassment?” Elysia let out a sneer. “Dad, | was trying to help you. If you don’t appreciate it, fine, but don’t

lecturelike this.

“If I had known you would blme, | should have just stood by and let Emma cause a scene. | wouldn't have

said a word. Then everyone would have thought the Davis and Rosewood families were getting along just fine.”

Scott raised an eyebrow on purpose?”

at her words. “So, did you do it

“Do you think I'm as stupid as Emma?” Elysia sneered. “She’s just an adopted daughter. She is indeed close to

the Davis family, but that does no good to the Rosewood family.”

Scott finally realized what had just happened. He had to admit that Elysia was truly clever. After all, Elysia’s little

stunt just

Davis family. now had effectively distanced them from th

No matter how close Emma and Robert were, she was still an adopted daughter. To put it bluntly, she was an

outsider. Elysia, on the other hand, was seen as the Rosewood family’s only daughter. The difference in status

between them was clear for all.

It was obvious which one of them represented the Rosewood family’s true stance. If anyone spread the word

about what happened today, no one would think the two families had a good relationship anymore.

Scott had only wanted to maintain a reputation for being tolerant and generous, but he didn’t want to be tied to

the Davis family in any way.

Bella, however, was getting angry. “Who are you calling stupid?”

Elysia shot her a glare. “I was talking about Emma. Are you feeling sorry for her? Just so you know, the one who

embarrassed the Rosewood family wasn’t me, it was Emma.”

Bella was furious.

“Enough!” Scott interrupted, his patience wearing thin. “Elysia is right. From now on, stay away from Emma.

With her kind of behavior, she'll drag the Rosewood family down sooner or later.”

“Scott...” Bella tried to speak.

Scott turned around. “Enough!”

Bella reluctantly fell silent, still baffled by how easily Elysia could talk her way out of Scott's anger every single

time.

When Elysia returned to the Rosewood residence, she received a text from Nicole, saying that something had

happened at Scented Garden and asking her to cover.

Confused, Elysia tried calling Nicole, but her phone was switched off, and no matter how many times she tried, it

wouldn't connect. Her worry deepened.

She thought, ‘Could something really have happened? With Scented Garden's standing in Sivro, surely no one

would dare cause trouble there.”

Elysia rushed back to her room and changed into a simple dress. She quickly left the Rosewood residence, hailed

a taxi, and headed straight for Scented Garden. Upon arriving, she strode in with urgency, but strangely,

everything seemed calm

“Hi, Ms. Rosewood.” The receptionist smiled warmly when she saw Elysia.

“Where's Ms. Gordon?” Elysia asked.

The receptionist said, “Ms. Gordon said you can cup and find her yourself.”

Elysia raised an eyebrow, wondering, ‘What kind of gis Nicole playing this time? She nodded slightly. “Got

it”

She turned and walked toward Nicole's office, her mind spinning with thoughts on how she would deal with

Nicole once they met.

However, when the door opened, Elysia froze. Sitting on the couch were Jack, Leo, and Max-she recognized them

all too well. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, and her voice shook with joy. “Hi.”
