Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 123 Chapter 123 The afternoon’s test was math. Math requires little writing, and Elysia’s response time

was noticeably faster than during the earlier language test. After about thirty minutes of working on the paper,

she put down her pen and started resting her head on the desk, giving in to sleep. Ava looked over at her,

admiring such a genius. When the math test ended, Elysia stretched lazily, looking relaxed as she and Ava

walked out of the school gates and climbed into the Rosewood family’s car. But she was greeted by an

unwelcsight that made her frown in frustration. “What are you doing here? Elysia snapped. “Why shouldn't |

be here?” Emma replied, her tone quite bold and confident. The driver, noticing the tension, tried to mediate.

“Elysia-" Elysia shot him a sharp look, causing him to quickly say, “Emma wanted to visit your house, and she

asked for my help in getting her here.” Emma's face briefly froze when she heard that, her hands clenched into

fists. Just wait. Soon enough, Elysia will find it impossible to keep up her arrogance!” “What makes you think

you're allowed to help her? Should | remind you of your position?” Elysia challenged. “I just thought that since

she was Ms. Rosewood, | should help her. If | don’t comply, Mrs. Rosewood might—* - “Mrs. Rosewood might be

difficult to deal with, but do you really think it would be any easier with Mr. Rosewood?” Elysia interrupted, her

tone icy. After a moment of silence, she continued, “The person you're supposed to bring his the real

heiress of the Rosewood family. Don’t think you can just bring anyone into this car. What if something went

wrong? Would you take the blame?” Elysia’s powerful presence seemed to intimidate the driver. At first, he

thought Elysia might let this slide since Emma used to belong to the Rosewood family, but it was clear that she

wasn't happy about it. He felt caught, unable to offend either side. Emma had the support of Bella, but Scott

clearly preferred Elysia. Caught in this tricky situation, the driver looked back at Elysia, who was studying Emma

with a sideways glance. Elysia said, “Speople really lack self-awareness, being so bold yet totally clueless.”

At that moment, Emma put on a sad face, glancing at the driver as if about to cry. “It's my fault; | didn’t mean to

complicate things for you. I'll leave right away.” With that, she began to open the car door. The driver wanted to

stop her but hesitated when he noticed Elysia sitting in the back. She did not look friendly; crossing her would

surely lead to trouble. He quickly turned the key, pressed the gas pedal, and sped off. Emma watched as the car

drove away, a smile creeping onto her face. From the moment she decided to get in that car, she had planned

everything perfectly. If Elysia kicked her out, Elysia would seem unkind and stubborn. If Elysia let her stay, she

could hitch a ride back to the Rosewood family with Elysia. Elysia’s foolishness in falling for her trap added to

Emma's delight. ‘What would others think of her now?‘ 1559 Thu 130b 10 Chapter 123 457% Little did Emma

know that her schemes were already clear to Elysia. The moment Elysia spotted Emma in the car, she saw right

through every thought Emma had. Elysia felt uncomfortable sharing the scar with Emma; there was no way

she could stand breathing the sair as her. So, she was determined to have Emma removed from the car,

Emma thought she could ruin Elysia’s reputation, but she was naive. Elysia thought, Did Emma really expect to

sway the driver's opinion? As the master of the house, | couldn't care less about what he thought. ‘A person with

real strength doesn’t need to fear opposing opinions, no matter how loud they are. Did she honestly think this

could ruin my image? Such a thought is laughable Elysia silently scoffed, realizing that if Emma could manipulate

how people felt, she could win over hearts with her own tactics, Elysia had plenty of chances while living in the

Rosewood residence, while Emma’s visits were few. The car approached the Rosewood residence, weaving

through the beautiful garden and finally stopping at the grand entrance, Elysia opened the car door and stepped

out. When she entered the living room, Mary rushed in, her face full of worry. But when she saw Elysia, her

expression pretended to be calm, Mary then walked over to Bella, who was sitting on the sofa, and spoke quietly,

“Mrs. Rosewood, Emma has arrived and is waiting at the entrance.” Though Mary spoke softly, Elysia heard her,

and her eyebrows knitted together at how quickly Emma had shown up. After Mary’s message, Bella struggled to

hide her excitement, but a hint of concern flickered across her face. Emma’s arrival could reignite the tensions in

Emma's relationship with Scott. Still, with Emma already at the entrance, Bella pushed her worries aside and

instructed Mary, “Bring Emma inside. “Yes, Mrs. Rosewood,” Elysia had initially planned to go up to the second

floor, but hearing about Emma's arrival changed her mind. She wondered how Emma could have the nerve to

return to the Rosewood family after being kicked out. Elysia smirked to herself; it seemed Emma had cooked up

several schemes for today. She was looking forward to watching how Emma’s plans would unfold. With no

hesitation, she walked over to the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs and bracing herself for the . Bella

gave her a side glance but said nothing. As soon as Emma stepped into the villa, tears streamed down her face

uncontrollably. “Mom.” Bella quickly embraced her, wiping away the tears. “Emma, what's wrong? Did someone

bully you?” “Mom, I'm fine,” Emma replied, shooting a deliberately sorrowful look at Elysia, her face dripping

with feigned sadness. Elysia watched with amusement; Emma really knew how to put on a show. If someone

didn’t know better, they might think Elysia was the one making her cry. Just look at how devastated Emma

looked, as if she were powerless against Elysia. Naturally, seeing Emma’s performance, Bella quickly turned her

anger toward Elysia. “Did you bully Emma?” “Bully her? Do you have any proof?” Elysia replied with a smile. “Are

you really going to accusejust because of Emma's little playacting?” As tensions grew, Emma quickly

grabbed Bella’s arm to intervene. “Mom, please don’t be mad. It's all my fault; Elysia isn’t to 15:59 Thu, 13 Feb

kind to get more sympathy from everyone. 57% Her words, meant to sound like reconciliation, only served to

strengthen the idea that Elysia was the one mistreating her. Bella, witnessing Emma’s understanding approach,

felt her heart swell with compassion, directing her anger at Elysia. “Look at your sister; she still cares about your

feelings, while you, Elysia, don’t show an ounce of regret.” 197 AD Comment
