Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 50

As someone who had kept herself completely detached from the situation, Elysia felt like she was watching a

unfold before her eyes. She hadn't expected in the slightest that Elena would step in to defend her.

In fact, this was the third tElena had stood up for her, and Elysia still didn’t understand why.

Mia, on the other hand, trembled when she heard Elena’s words. She planned to apologize to Elena, thinking that

it would case sof her humiliation. In her mind, that would still allow her to maintain sdignity, not

completely bowing down to Elysia

However, Elena had hit the nail on the head, accusing her apology of lacking sincerity. Mia was furious at Elena

for siding with Elysia and turning the tables to humiliate her even more

She couldn’t understand it. After all, she cfrom the prestigious Smith family and was treated like a princess.

She didn’t know why she had to suffer such indignity.

“No?” Elena’s patience had worn thin. Her face darkened as she spoke. “If you refuse to apologize, then we'll

handle this according to school rules. You know what that means

was growing more anxious by the second. “Mia,

Emma quickly nudged Mia. She didn’t want her to dig in her heels any further. Meanwhile, Natalie w just

apologize Don’t make this worse!”

After a while, Mia finally turned her gaze toward Elysia. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her lips were

clenched so tightly that they turned white. She gritted her teeth and said, I'm sorry. Then she turned to Elena

and asked, “Is that enough?”

“Don’t ask me,” Elena replied calmly, before glancing at

Elysia. “You should be asking her.”

Mia felt a sharp sting of humiliation again. The onlookers around them exchanged shocked looks, unsure of what

they had just witnessed.

It seemed like Elena was simply looking out for Mia, saving her from the risk of getting into trouble, but in fact, it

was all about protecting Elysia. She was clearly standing up for Elysia

Elena had stepped in on similar situations before, but she never handled them strictly. This side of her was new,

and the onlookers began to rethink their impressions of her. They thought, Does Elena actually have a softer

side? Or is that just an illusion!

Mia, left with no choice, turned to Elysia and asked with barely contained frustration, “Is this enough?”

Elysia rolled her eyes, unimpressed. She thought, “It's not that difficult to apologize, is it? You've made it sound

like you're sacrificing your life. Seriously

“You need to learn how to apologize Elysia continued, “Next time, don’t drag it out. And when you apologize,

there's got to be sactual antitade behind it, got in?”

After finishing her words, Elysia waved her hand dismissively. “Alright. Since this is your first tapologizing, I'll

let it go. Just remember this lesson for next time.”

There was a glint of amusement in Elysia’s eyes as she said the last sentence.

Mia clenched her fists, her heart seething with rage. She was going to make sure Elysia paid for it, and when she

did, she would make her suffer

“This is over. You're all free to go. Elena said, and with that, the crowd, which had been packed around them just

moments ago, quickly dispersed. Emma and Natalie helped Mia as they slowly followed the others, their

departure marked by the feeling of bitter humiliation. This place-this tiny auditorum—was now a symbol of

everything they had suffered. They didn’t want to stay any longer

Soon the lively buzz had faded, leaving only Elysia, Ava, Elena, and a few members of the student union there. It

was then that Elysia noticed the boy standing behind Elena. He was the sperson who had helped them

earlier in the auditorium.

It seemed that the reason the guy had helped her was all because of Elena

When Ben noticed Elysia staring at him, he gave her a faint smile in return. He had realized by now-whenever

Elysia was involved, all the usual rules seemed to go out the window.

It made him wonder what kind of power she had to get Elena to back her up like this.

“Thanks for your help,” Elysia said to Elena.

Elena smiled and said, “This isn’t your fault, so you don’t need to thank me. If you insist, you can doa favor

in return. Your birthday party will be held two days later, right? 1 want an invitation.

Elysia was taken aback. She thought, Is that all? just an invitation to my birthday party! After a moment, she

nodded. “No problem.”

Ava, who had been standing by quietly, overheard the mention of the birthday party and quickly piped up, “What

about me! | want an invitation

“Don’t worry, you're on the list,” Elena replied with a smile.

Although Elysia still didn’t quite understand why Elena was helping her, it was clear from their interactions that

Elena didn’t have any bad intentions.

Before the afternoon class began, Elysia walked up to the podium holding the study plan she had made for Class

6. The noise in the classroom was still deafening.

“Quiet down!” Her commanding voice echoed through the room, reverberating in every corner. The room fell

silent almost immediately, all eyes turning toward her.

She said, “Starting today, I'll be using self-study periods to tutor you all in math and physics, and during lunch

breaks, I'll cover chemistry and biology. If you have any questions outside of class, feel free to askanytime.

“In addition, during every lesson, you must focus, and all assignments must be completed on tand handed in

to...” Elysia scanned the room before settling her gaze on Eric. “Eric will be in charge of this”

Eric, who had been deep into his comic book just moments ago, froze. He thought, Wait What! Suddenly, Tim

supposed to supervise the class, huh? Am I not the one who needs supervision? Is Elysia sure about her choice?

He quickly turned to Elysia with confusion on his face. “How about someone else! | don’t think I'm the right

person for this”

Elysia smiled gently. “You are the most suitable person for this because you are decisive among them. You

should take on this to progress!”

“Can | really make it?” Eric was skeptical. To everyone else, he was j capable of holding any position of

responsibility in class.

just the troublemaker and a real bad boy. No one ever sane him as someone

Yet now, someone was actually giving him the opportunity to oversee his classmates. The feeling of being

trusted and acknowledged for the first tseemed almost surreal to him.

“I have faith in you.” Elysia replied firmly, meeting Eric's gaze with unwavering confidence. In her eyes, there

was nothing but trust

Elysia was the first person who had ever believed in Eric. And in that moment, something clicked inside him.

Maybe he could make a difference. Therefore, he gave a small nod. “Alright, Ill do it!*

With the troublemaker now in charge of supervision, they felt that the following

“Alright, everyone, get your act together. There's still more than half a month before the next exam. Let's all

work hard Elysia announced.

Grace couldn't help but stare at Elysia, who stood glowing in front of the class. For a moment, she felt a twinge

of envy. Elysia had it all—excellent grades, a good family, and a stunning face. Everyone seemed eager to follow

her lead

Elysia was like someone born to shine wherever she went. As for Grace, she felt like she was born and raised in

darkness. She thought that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see the light.

Girls like Elysia must be able to make anyone’s heart race, right?’ Grace thought

Just then. Elysia had already walked down from the podium when Ava grabbed her arm with a big grin. “I swear,

Elysia, you're getting even more beautiful

“Shut up.” Elysia muttered with a smile

Sensing Elysia’s obvious distaste, Ava immediately raised her fingers in a mock solemn gesture. “I swear,

Elysia quickly covered her mouth. “Enough”

Ava grinned mischievously. “I know you are the best, Elysia!” she said, holding Elysia’s arm

“Can you two ever stop being so cheesy? Eric, who was sitting beside Elysia, leaned back in his seat and shot

them a disgusted look

“Mind your business! Ava stuck her tongue out at him. “Elysia is my best friend”

“I'm closer to her than you are!” Eric retorted, “Don’t forget that | was the one who personally welcomed Elysia
