Chapter 51
Originally, when the restaurant opened, if we could have invited more important people, the result would definitely have been better.
Megan just wanted to make Erwina fall flat on her face.
Harry said a bit irritably, “Wina, why did you have to fight with Meg? Look at you, you have everything, you’re so lucky, but she has nothing.”
“No, you’re wrong. I only had one mom, but she, Megan, had a dad and two brothers.” Erwina just cut off the projection without any hesitation.
She rubbed her temples speechlessly, “No idea what kind of nonsense. Megan fed them.”
Ayla said, “Master, are you asking me?”
“Forget it, you wouldn’t know even if I asked you. Go send Hannah a message and ask if she wanted to share a room with the Queen sisters.”
“Yes, master.
I sent the message, and as expected, it was like a stone sinking into the sea–no reply for a long time.
Hannah was from District X, and because of what people thought, she was actually always pretty sensitive and kind of insecure deep down.
But she was actually a really smart and hardworking girl.
Erwina still really liked this roommate, so she just called Hannah directly.

Hannah picked up right away, and when she did, her voice sounded a bit off, “Erwina, what’s up?”
“Oh, the message I sent you, you might not have seen it yet. Tomorrow Gina and her sister, the queen, had a private room together. If you didn’t bring other friends, you could join them in that room too. Or I could arrange another place for you.”
“…Sorry, Erwina, did I make you feel bothered? You were probably really busy today. Maybe I just shouldn’t go.”
Hannah always felt like even Erwina’s world didn’t fit her.
Not to mention, over there was Gina and her queen sister’s world.
Erwina walked to the floor–to–ceiling window and looked at the flying roads spiraling up outside.
She smiled and said, “It’s okay, you’re my friend after all.”
“Friend…” Hannah muttered those two words again.
They were just two ordinary words, but she felt like they weighed a ton.
Erwina said, “The queen was a very gentle person, really easy to get along with. Hannah, you were a really good person too, I always thought highly of you.”
Gentle words carefully protected Hannah’s self–esteem, but at the same time, they also hoped Hannah could throw away those shackles and tried to pull her into the sunlight.
Friends like this were just so heartwarming.
Hannah didn’t speak right away.

Ci wina wasn’t in a hurry, just squinted and enjoyed the starry sky outside the window.
After a while, Hannah said softly, “Okay, I’ll go with Gina and them tomorrow.”
“Alright, it’s settled then. I had some things to do, so see you tomorrow.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
Erwina cut off the call, turned around, and saw her mom Elaine coming in with a glass of milk.
Elaine went to her friend’s place these days, so the mother and daughter didn’t see each other.
She handed the hot milk to her daughter and said angrily, “I just heard, Spencer and Harry both aren’t coming to support us tomorrow?”
“It’s okay, Mom, they didn’t matter.”
“I even doubted if they were really my own kids!”
Hearing her mom say that, Erwina didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She said, “Mom, it’s actually not hard to understand. Big brother never cared about the restaurant stuff. As for second brother, he’s just dumb and got used by Megan, that’s all.”
Was th
“Why little troublemaker everywhere? How come she was so hyper lately?”
Elaine didn’t get it. When she first brought her home, she was such a sensible and well–behaved little girl.
Erwina drank all the milk and put the glass on the coffee table.

She said, “Maybe because Nora was getting out of prison, and Megan saw that Grandpa was going to give me the branch management, so she got
anxious too.”
The management area of the Schrader Restaurant District I actually, in a way, just symbolized the management rights of the whole Schrader Restaurant.
Could Megan, who had always had her eye on the Schrader Restaurant, not be anxious?
Elaine suddenly looked up, “Nora is getting out of prison? Didn’t they say she got thirty years before?”
Erwina shook her head, “I was just guessing, not really sure. But ever since Megan stopped Wynfield from marrying me, I felt like she started to get anxious.”
Elaine looked complicated. “What on earth were those mother and daughter trying to do?”
“Guess it was for my dad and the Schrader Restaurant.
Nora probably let Ethan adopt her daughter back then just to keep this as her backup plan.
