Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Before he could finish, Daxton interjected, “Why wait for the future? Let's have another race tonight.”

Not one to back down, Logan replied defiantly, “Alright, let's do it tonight.” He started walking toward his sports

car.

However, before he could take another step, Cassius grabbed his arm. “Do you two always need to compete?

Why not try something a bit more fun?”

Intrigued, Daxton asked, “What do you mean by fun?”

“It’s simple. Each of you picks one girl from this group to represent you in a race. Whoever wins claims the

victory. How does that sound?”

“Now that’s interesting,” Daxton exclaimed, scanning the gathered girls. “Surely none of you can’t drive?”

Laughter erupted from the girls; they were all part of the scrowd-everyone could drive. But then again,

maybe one of them really couldn't. All eyes turned to Elysia, wondering if she could.

Noticing the attention on Elysia, Daxton teased, “Elysia, can you drive?”

Logan's heart raced at Daxton’s question. He had seen Elysia ride a motorcycle, but he had never witnessed her

driving a car. This was a race; even if she could drive, maybe she could not handle the pressure and crashed.

Concerned, he exclaimed, “Elysia does not count; she’s not in.”

“Why shouldn’t she? Is it that she can’t, or maybe she just won't?” Daxton’s words sparked laughter among the

crowd.

Logan scowled; Daxton was clearly asking for trouble. Just as he was about to snap, Elysia spoke up, “I will

participate.”

Her calm voice echoed across the racetrack, cutting through the laughter. Daxton was the first to respond,

looking at Logan. “Logan, Elysia has agreed.”

At a loss for words, Logan turned to Elysia and cautioned softly, “Elysia, this isn't a game.”

With a slight smile, Elysia replied confidently, “Don’t worry, I'm just indulging him—I know my limits.”

Logan was taken aback by her response. ‘Did she not understand my concern?‘ Looking at her again, he saw her

demeanor, which somehow lightened his previously heavy heart.

“Logan, don't fret; it's just a different way to play. Besides, don’t you know the girls?”

“Daxton is right. Are you really thinking that their driving skills could match yours?”

“Exactly, Logan, you've never been one to shy away from challenges.”

Furrowing his brows, Logan turned back to Elysia, questioning again, “Are you sure you can handle this?” If she

said “no”, he would do everything to keep her off the racetrack.

“Trust me, I've got this,” Elysia said with unwavering confidence.

Seeing her determination, Logan relented. He addressed Daxton, “Then let's begin.”

Daxton scanned the group of girls until his gaze landed on Elysia, “I choose her.”

A collective gasp arose; by picking Elysia, Daxton was practically throwing in the towel. Just moments ago, Logan

had refused to endorse her probably due to her lackluster driving skills. Yet, Daxton made such a puzzling

choice.

Surely, any random girl from the group would be a smarter pick. But Daxton wasn’t concerned about that. For

him, it was all about fun.

Logan seethed with frustration; it was obvious Daxton was challenging him on purpose. He had thought that by

not choosing Elysia, he could keep her from having to race. Yet, Daxton’s bold choice fueled his anger.

“What gives you

he right to choose Elysia?” Logan snapped at Daxton.

“Are you going to choose her too?”

“She is my sister; of course, | would choose her.”

“Well, I allow you to.” Daxton’s quick consent caught Logan off guard. He felt as if he had been lured into

Daxton’s trap from

the start.

With no choice left but to proceed, he looked at Elysia, a downcast expression clouding his face. “Rest assured, |

can handle this,” she assured him.

It had been ages since Elysia had raced on such a track, and now excitement stirred within her. This was the

perfect chance to have sfun.

She turned her sharp gaze toward Daxton, saying, “How about we raise the stakes a bit-I'll represent Logan, and

we can race.”

The crowd murmured in astonishment. Challenging Daxton was a bold move; it seemed she was reaching her

limits.

Daxton had years of experience, and although he had been overshadowed by Logan, he was no slouch. Plus, he

had just outpaced Logan.

Logan, taken aback, found himself speechless. He could hardly believe Elysia actually dared to challenge Daxton.

This was like a fragile egg trying to battle a stone.

Logan suggested, “Elysia, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? Maybe choose someone else?”

“I won't change; it's him.”

Daxton interrupted, “No worries, Logan, I'll go easy on her; | won't let her lose too badly.”

“I will not lose,” Elysia declared firmly, showing no hint of fear.

The crowd watched in anticipation, unsure whether Elysia was genuinely confident or just blissfully unaware.

Even if she had skill, she wouldn't stand a chance against Daxton.

A wave of concern settled over the crowd. A beautiful young lady challenging a ruthless competitor like Daxton;

it could only end in tears.

With a playful smirk aimed at Elysia, Daxton assumed an exaggeratedly polite posture, gesturing her forward,

“Elysia, please, after you.

Just as Elysia was about to step forward, Logan grasped her arm, worry etched on his face. “Elysia, this isn’t like

riding a motorcycle. Just think of it as a game; don’t push too hard on the speed. Losing is perfectly okay.”
