The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Naomi Plots and Mr Nathaniel Simps

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Nathaniel said, “That must be my son, come in!”

The server quickly opened the private room’s door.

But it wasn’t Matteo who walked in. Standing at the entrance was a bodyguard dressed in black.

The moment Nathaniel saw him, his expression darkened. “Why is it you? Where’s Matteo?”

“Mr. Matteo…. didn’t come. He said something came up and he got held up halfway…”

“On a day like this, what gave him the nerve to just not show up?”

Nathaniel’s face grew even darker. He is getting more and more disobedient!

“Mr. Matteo is handling an emergency… it might take another thirty minutes,” the bodyguard said, his voice. growing softer and softer, as if afraid Nathaniel might blow his head off at any moment.

Nathaniel placed a high value on father–son loyalty; his son was expected to obey his word without question. Otherwise, Nathaniel would throw Matteo into the punishment room.

And if that’s how he treated his own son, there was no telling what he’d do to outsiders.

Seeing that Matteo wouldn’t be showing up today after all, Eliza finally let out a quiet breath of relief.

Good, she didn’t want to see him anyway.

Naomi stood up and turned toward Nathaniel. “That’s such a shame. I guess we’ll have to meet some other time, Mr. Nathaniel. We’ll be taking our leave now.”

Eliza wanted to leave, and Nathaniel had no reason to stop her.

Halbert walked protectively at her side as the two of them exited the room one after the other.

As they left, Naomi leaned into Nathaniel and said sweetly, “Mr. Nathaniel, my sister was really out of line just now–she didn’t give you any face at all at the dinner table.”

Nathaniel, naturally, was unhappy with Eliza’s behavior.

He was, after all, the boss of Westbrook’s underworld, yet Eliza hadn’t shown him the slightest bit of respect. If word got out, where would his reputation go?

“Eliza really does have a strong personality. I don’t know how you put up with her back then,” Nathaniel said, patting Naomi on the shoulder in a show of comfort.

Naomi replied, “I didn’t feel wronged. It’s just that, with the way she embarrassed you today, Mr. Nathaniel… – how will others view you?”

Nathaniel exhaled slowly at that, If I’d known Eliza would be this difficult, I never would’ve invited her in the first place.

Now he’d made a fool of himself in front of the Sue family juniors.

“This is still Westbrook, after all. No matter how tough Eliza thinks she is, she still has to show me some respect here. The fact that she came to today’s dinner at all means she gave me some face. Don’t worry- your relationship can be repaired in time.”

“Mr. Nathaniel, I don’t think the usual tactics will work on my sister or the Sue family,” Naomi said, cutting straight to the point. “So why not take a different route–something more personal?”

Nathaniel feigned confusion. “Something more personal?”

“Yes. Strategic partnerships through marriage aren’t exactly unheard of. Eliza’s part of the Suc family now- she’s more than qualified. So… what if she and your godbrother got together? That would solve a lot of problems at once, wouldn’t it?”

“With Matteo?”

Nathaniel pictured Eliza’s face in his mind again.

She was undeniably a beauty in the making–still young, which was probably why it hadn’t fully shown yet.
