Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 61

In fact, Zane did have to go on a business trip, but there was one thing Alice was right about-he indeed hadn't

received an invitation.

Alice looked at Zane, waving the invitation in her hatal, saying, “Zane, if you don’t have anything else, I'm going

to head out now, or I'll be late.

Zane nodded slightly, then opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him.

Alice stared at the closed door, her face full of suspicion.

She thought. He just left like that? He didn’t even try to askto take him. If he does that, | won't agree. But he

should at least pretend to do so, givingssense of superiority”

When Alice arrived at the Rosewood residence, she stopped a maid and asked, “Which room does Elysia stay

in?”

Alice was no more than twelve or thirteen years old but was dressed in expensive clothes, likely a wealthy

heiress.

The maid didn’t dare to be careless and quickly replied. “Ms. Elysia Rosewood is in the second bedroom on the

right upstairs. Do you needto show you the way?”

Alice said, “No need.” She waved her hand and walked straight towards the second floor. As soon as she entered

the room, she saw Elena and couldn't help but be taken aback by her beauty.

She thought. ‘Isn't she the girl | met at Amour Cafe last t| didn’t think she was that attractive before, but

now, she looks quite stunning. However, compared to Elysia, she still falls a bit short

Elena also recognized Alice and raised an eyebrow. She said. “Are you the little girl at Amour Cafe that day?”

Hearing this, Alice stomped her foot in frustration and said, “1 told you last time, I'm not a little girl.”

Elena replied, “Oh! I gorgot”.

Alice was speechless.

“Elena, stop teasing her, Elyssa said with a smile, looking as if a fairy had descended from heaven, her beauty

unparalleled.

It was then that Alice noticed Elysia. Elysia’s beautiful features were enhanced by the exquisite makeup, adding

a touch of charm. The purple gown she wore, adorned with gems that twinkled like stars under the lights, was

captivating.

Alice couldn't help but be mesmerized. She thought, How could there be such a beautiful woman like Elysia in

this world? Even as a girl, | couldn’t help but be charmed, not to mention those guys.’

Alice said, “Elysia, | promise you'll be the most stunning one here tonight.”

Elysia laughed at her words. She said. That's quite an exaggeration.

Alice said, “I'm just telling the truth, not exaggerating at all.”

Elena rarely nodded in agreement. She said, “On this point, | and little. Sensing Alice’s gaze on her, Elena

promptly stopped herself from finishing the sentence and continued, and she are in agreement.”

Alice finally averted her gaze, her expression a mix of pride and coyness. She said, “Callby my nfrom

now on I'm Alice, what about you?”

Elena said, “Elena”

Alice founded the nfamiliar. She had heard it somewhere before but couldn't quite place it. After pondering

for a long time, she finally remembered where she had heard it

She thought, “Isn't the president of the senior student council named Ben? Thinking of this, she looked at Elena

and asked, “Are you the student council president?*

Seeing Elena nad in confirmation, Alice was excited. She thought, ‘Oh my! | have just had a close encounter with

this legendary, aloof goddess Elena. | even argued with her

Although Alice wasn’t as intimidated by Elena as other students, Elena was still a legendary figure among

students. Alice wondered if she should at least pretend to be a little scared and show Elena srespect

Noticing the furrowed brows on Alice's forehead, Elysia guessed that Alice must be scheming something. She

said. “Elena won't bite,

to overthink it”

Hearing this, Alice grinned and said, “I was just thinking whether I should do something to show my respect to

the president”

Elena said. “There's no need. And don’t callpresident.”

Alice asked. “Then can | call you Elena?” Her face was full of flattery. If she could latch onto Elena, she would be

so powerful at school

Elysia was amused by Alice. She thought, ‘Alice really knows how to read the situation. She has just been at odds

with Elena, and now she is quickly changing sides”

Elena replied. “Whatever.” She didn’t really care what people called her. She was used to bring alone. But after

meeting Elysia, she suddenly felt like she had a friend.

Alice's face lit up with joy. She couldn't believe she had actually latched onto Elena. She was already thinking

about walking around school with her head held high in the future.

She asked. “Elena, if someone bulliesat school in the future, will you stand up for me?”

Elysia raised an eyebrow. She thought. “Zane’s niece getting bullied at school! | don’t believe it for a second.”

Elena looked at Alice seriously and said, “I will handle it impartially.”

Alice’s smile instantly froze on her face. She complained inside. That's too official

Hearing this, Elysia burst into laughter. She said, “Don’t give Elena a hard time. With Zane backing you up, who

would you have to fear?”

Alice said, “You're right

Ar this point, there were only less than five minutes left before the dinner party was set to officially begin. But

only a few guests showed up. Seeing this, Scott felt embarrassed. But he was still trying his best to control his

emotions, not daring to show the slightest anomaly. He knew someone was causing trouble.

As a veteran businessman who had been in the gfor many years, Scott easily guessed who was pulling the

strings.

He thought, Apart from the Davis family, no one else has such power. The Davis family’s status in Sivro is indeed

not to be underestimated

He could already imagine that if the events of tonight's dinner were to spread, the Rosewood family would

becthe Laughingstock of the entire Sivro high society

Bella was originally entertaining a few wealthy ladies in the garden, but as soon as she turned around, she

overheard their mockery.

One woman said. “The Rosewood family could have offended anyone, but they had to offend the Davis family.

They really don’t know their own weight”

Another lady said. “The Davis family’s status in Sivro is far above the Rosewood family. Their marriage alliance is

already a match above the Rosewood family’s station, yet they are unwilling. If it were me, | wouldn't be able to

swallow my pride either.”

One woman said, “When it comes down to it, the only reason we're here today is because we have business

dealings with the Rosewood family and aren’t under the Davis family’s control. Otherwise, | wouldn't want to be

here either.”

Listening to their mockery, Bella felt a surge of anger in her bean. She thought, ‘If it weren't for Elysia’s

insistence op offending the Davis family. would we be in this situation!”

Noticing Scott's face a bit off, Bella leaned in and whispered, “It’s all your fault for spoiling Elysia too much.

Otherwise, how could this have luppened today?*

Scout's brows furrowed. He

de complained inside, “Is this the tto talk about that? He couldn't help but feel annoyed that Bella was being

thoughtless. He growled in a low voice, “You know nothing.”

He added inside, “When Elysia associates with the wealthy and powerful, and the Rosewood family rises to a

higher level, all these sycophants will ccrawling to me.
