Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapt

Upon hearing this, Elysia merely smiled, she stood up, stretched lazily, and strolled toward the door

“Elysia, where are you going?” Logan asked.

With her back turned to him, Elysia waved her hand slightly and replied in a relaxed tone, “To take a nap Having

finished her tasks, it was only right to return for srest,

Just as the two cdownstairs at noon, they were stopped by Odalyn. Seeing the well-dressed pair, she raised

an eyebrow, “And where might you be off to now?”

“I'm just taking Elysia out for a little stroll,” Logan responded,

“Just a stroll, you say?” she asked, skeptically,

“Don’t worry, | really just want to take Elysia for a walk,” he assured her.

“Very well, but letmake this clear: you must not take Elysia to bars, do you understand?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. | promise we won't go. Elysia will keep an eye on me

At this, Odalyn turned her gaze to Elysia, softening her voice when addressing her. “Elysia, it’s not that | forbid

you from those places; they have unsavory characters, and it can be unsafe. | just worry for you, dear.

Elysia could easily see the concern in Odalyn’s eyes, and a warm feeling rose in her chest. She smiled sweetly

and said, “Odalyn, | understand.”

Seeing Odalyn agree, Logan quickly took Elysia’s wrist and led her outside. As they left, Odalyn couldn't help but

smile; it was clear they had a lovely bond.

Odalyn had initially planned to take Elysia out for afternoon tea with her friends, wanting to show off her niece.

After all, her friends, all with daughters of their own, took every chance to brag about their daughters’

achievements.

She didn’t have a daughter, but she still had a niece. However, it seemed that Logan had taken her out,

Watching how close the siblings were, she found it hard to refuse their outing plan, and she ultimately decided to

keep her wishes to herself.

The car stopped outside the cozy bar as the duo climbed out. Helios, surprised to see them, greeted, “What

brings you both here in the middle of the day?”

He was unaware of their plan with Elena, so Elysia explained, “Helios, we're here to pick up Elena. Logan wants

to take us out for a bit.”

Helios chuckled at her words, saying, “Well, | must admit, | feel a bit embarrassed-every tElena visits

Shecrity, I've yet to take her out. But with you two here, you've savedquite the trouble.”

Just then, Elena appeared, wearing a blue dress that perfectly matched Elysia’s pink gown. Elysia smiled as she

approached and linked arms with her, saying, “Look. We match like best friends.”

Elena laughed, happy to hear the term “best friends”. Helios walked with them to the car door, his gaze lingering

on them as the car drove away.

Feeling satisfied, Helios suddenly thought of something and took out his phone to call Olliver. On the other end, a

middle-aged voice answered, “Helios, what's up?”

Rolling his eyes at Olliver’s formal tone, Helios quickly updated him on Elena's progress, only to be met with

silence on the other end.

He brought the phone back to his ear, confirming the call was still active, but held back from speaking.

After a long pause, Olliver finally replied, “In the past, | may have pushed her too hard, taking away her joy,

which is why she has becso reserved. Thank you for tellingabout this, Helios. I'm truly happy.”

Helios said, “Olliver, what's done is done. The key point is that Elena is changing and isn't as cold as she was

before. That's a good thing. Your strictness was only to help her reach her potential.”

Olliver offered a wry smile, as he also hoped Elena would enjoy a carefree youth. He longed for a relationship like

any dad and daughter would have, without the pressure.

However, since the Shelton family had only this one child, no one else could carry their hopes if not her.

After ending the call, Helios walked into the bar. Meanwhile, Elysia and Elena sat in the backseat of the

convertible with the top down, enjoying the sun while a gentle breeze played with their hair and lifted their

spirits.

Elysia turned to Elena, her voice soft. “You've never visited Shecrity?”

“Never,” Elena replied.

At this, Elysia gently held her hand, her eyes filled with warmth. “Well, today I’m going to give you a proper

tour.”

Elysia recalled Elena telling her that she had becthe person Elena wanted to be but couldn't. ‘What does

that mean?’

Looking closely at Elena, Elysia found Elena reminded her of a snowflake-cool, pristine, and beautifully tranquil,

lacking in color yet inspiring endless beauty in the imagination.

Maybe this snowflake held a fiery heart, wishing for richness beyond white.

Elysia thought, ‘Don’t worry; | will help you achieve that dream. Your world will no longer be limited to just white.

As their hands clasped tightly together, they exchanged smiles. Unbeknownst to Elysia, only after meeting her

had Elena started to break free from her mundane life.

Logan, glancing at them through the rearview mirror, joked, “Why do | suddenly feel a bit unnecessary?”

“Logan, you're not unnecessary; without you, who would drive us?” Elysia replied.

Elena added, “Elysia is right. You're not just a driver, but also our guide.”

Logan felt his heart swell with joy. “I will first take you to see the coastal sights, then enjoy the flowers, finally,

we'll explore the town.

“Tis tight, so we will likely only manage these today. We will save the other adventures for another time.”

“Sounds good, Elysia agreed.

Elena then asked, “So, what's your favorite part of Shecrity?”

Logan grinned and replied, “Definitely the food!”

“I would love trying new dishes.”

Logan beamed. “Shere!”

At the Jackson residence, elegantly dressed ladies enjoyed afternoon tea in the garden, exuding grace with every

gesture.

“Odalyn, didn’t you say your niece was coming? You've been so excited; why not introduce us?” one of them

asked. “We're all eager to meet your niece.”

Odalyn, smiling softly, replied, “I had planned to bring her out for you to see, but unfortunately, Logan took her

out.”

“That suggests Logan and your niece are close.”

“They are genuinely close, almost like siblings.”

“After hearing that, | truly want to meet her; I've heard she’s incredibly beautiful.”
