Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1027

Everyone turned to look when Benjamin strutted in with Mandy and Rosie by his side, acting like they owned the place. Benjamin carried a box of mooncakes, showing it off as if it were a treasure.

As soon as Mabel saw who it was, she got up right away. “What brings you here?”

Benjamin flashed a smile. “It’s Thanksgiving, isn’t it? You know Rosie, always so thoughtful. She wanted to check in on you. Mabel, are we not welcome?”

Damien and his family exchanged knowing glances. They could tell Benjamin’s family wasn’t here for anything good. Wendy and the others were already annoyed, so this just made things worse.

“Dad, has Benjamin’s family really sunk so low in the Capital?” Wendy said, loud enough for everyone to hear. “They show up to visit and all they bring is a cheap box of pumpkin pie?”

Damien was just as surprised. The Gibsons used to be a big deal, and now they came empty-handed, except for a single, shabby box of pie. It felt like an insult.

Benjamin and Mandy heard the whispers and could hardly hide their smugness. This was exactly why they came tonight, to put the Robinson family in their place. They figured soon the Robinsons would be so down-and-out, they wouldn’t even deserve a box of pie from them.

Nathaniel scoffed. “Why not just say the Gibsons are so broke that pies are all they can afford? They came to us, not the other way around.”

Damien’s family didn’t know what to say to that.

Benjamin’s face darkened. “Nathaniel, is this how you talk to your uncle?”
