Chapter 112
Chapter 112 Poor Lizzy
After her announcement, Nicolette placed Elizabeth’s present in her bag and
stuck her tongue out at Tiana.
Everyone at the table burst into laughter and started teasing Nicolette.
“Look at her. She’s still acting like a kid!”
Nicolette had planned to sing karaoke after dinner, but Francine forbade her
from doing so, citing Michael’s wrath.
Everyone walked out of the restaurant after dinner.
Nicolette hooked her arm through the crook of Elizabeth’s elbow. She was in
a great mood as she chatted to Elizabeth.
Behind them, Tiana walked with her parents. She was satisfied with how
things had turned out at dinner, pleased that she was finally the star of the Wade
family after all this time.
Tiana was already playing the role of Mrs. Hilton. Everyone here has to
worship me, or Matthew will crush them if I so much as cough in displeasure.
Celine, on the other side, asked Richard pretentiously, “Darling, Lizzy has
appeared before the Wade family members. Why don’t we welcome her home? I
shudder to think what our relatives might say if we don’t.”
She was shrewd enough to maintain her kind stepmother act.
Richard merely scoffed and spat, “She’s not an Wade anymore. What’s the use of bringing her home? She may not feel embarrassed, but I’m humiliated that she’s bringing three illegitimate children home.”

Hearing that, Tiana smiled and mollified, “Don’t be angry, Dad. You still
have me. I’m seeing Matthew now. After we’re married, I’ll convince him to help
Wade Corporation.”
Her words brought a smile to Richard’s face.
He replied, “Thank goodness we still have a sensible daughter!”
Everyone stopped at the restaurant door. Francine asked Elizabeth, “Did you
drive, Lizzy? If not, I’ll ask our chauffeur to send you home. We can carpool with
someone else.”
After all, Elizabeth had kindly dropped by for her daughter’s birthday, and
Francine had heard from Celine that her niece was having a hard time. Elizabeth
purportedly lived in a decrepit lane in the Old District. The area reeked of
garbage. It was dirty and full of stray dogs.
Francine recalled Elizabeth’s sheltered life, which was a far cry from her
current predicament. Though Elizabeth had lost her mother at a young age, Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Michael loved her dearly and spoiled his future heiress.
The patriarch had given Elizabeth the best that money could buy, and he
expected everyone else in the family to indulge her every wish.
Look at her life now. It’s a tragedy.
Tugging on Elizabeth’s hand, Nicolette urged, “Let our chauffeur send you
home, Lizzy.”
Elizabeth checked her phone and said, “It’s okay. I called an Uber. It’ll be
here soon.”
“It’s so late. An Uber can’t be safe at this time,” Tiana piped up. “I’ll send

you home!”
Just then, a Maybach Exelero cruised onto the restaurant grounds, pulling up
beside Elizabeth.
Elizabeth knew the car belonged to Matthew. She frowned involuntarily,
wondering why he picked such an eye-catching car to fetch her.
The car was one of its kind, and it was worth eighty million.
Elizabeth had some knowledge about cars, and she had searched the price.
online when she first saw the vehicle.
She rubbed her temples in exasperation, cursing her decision to claim she
had booked an Uber.
Hastily, Elizabeth announced, “My Uber’s here. Bye Nic! Bye, Aunt
Francine!”
The surrounding people were staring at the vehicle in awe, and now
Elizabeth was calling it her Uber ride.
Nicolette exclaimed, “Ah! I’ve never seen a Maybach Exelero in my life. It’s
so sleek!”
Richard and his brothers’ expressions had changed as well. The Exelero was the car of every man’s dreams.
