Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 73

Watching Mary stand in front of her, taking a slap meant for her, Elysia was momentarily dazed. The reason she

spoke up for her was purely because she disapproved of Bella's actions. She never expected Mary to show

gratitude.

After all, in this family, Bella was the one with the most say. If she offended Bella, her future here would be as

precarious as walking on thin ice. Yet, Mary didn’t hesitate to step in front of her.

It was quite surprising. In fact, Mary didn’t need to do that at all. Bella wanted to slap her, but it wasn’t going to

be that easy. However, in Bella's eyes, this was a blatant provocation.

dat

Bella thought. “Mary, just a maid, dared to defy me, the lady of the Rosewood residence? She immediately

pointed at Mary, so angry she was trembling all over, and said, “Very well! You really have snerve!”

Mary knew she was in trouble. If she couldn't resolve this matter smoothly, she could easily guess what her

future would be like. She had been with the Rosewood family for so many years and knew Bella's temperament

all too well.

Bella was the type to hold a grudge for the slightest offense. In her eyes, they, the maids, were inferior. And she

despised inferiors the most. If anyone crossed her, a peaceful end was almost impossible.

But she didn’t regret her actions just now. In all her years as a maid in the Rosewood family, this was the first

tshe had seen a master stand up for the servants like this.

She used to have many prejudices against Miss Elysia, thinking that growing up in a remote village, her behavior

must be crude.

But upon closer observation, she found that Miss Elysia was not only beautiful and had good grades, but also had

a kind heart,

In contrast, Emma seemed to be lacking in comparison. Most importantly, like Bella, Emma also looked down on

the servants.

Although she was scared inside, she still spoke up and explained, “Madam, please calm down. All my faults are

mine. Miss Elysia has such delicate skin. If she were to receive a slap, it might leave a mark. And if Mr. Rosewood

were to ask...”

Mary didn’t finish her sentence, but Bella understood. She furrowed her brows and thought. So you are sull

considering me?

Elysia watched Mary's performance and curled her lips slightly. Indeed, someone who had been in the family for

so many years knew exactly what

to say

Not only did she give Rella a way out, but she also portrayed herself as a loyal servant in front of Bella. Turning a

disadvantage into an advantage. She was a clever person.

yone who could suppress Bella was Scott. By bringing Scott into the

In fact, Mary had precisely calculated all of this. In this family, the only equation, even if Bella wanted to blame

her, she would think twice.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, especially when Scott's nwas mentioned, Bella weighed the situation

in her heart and seemed to accept Mary’s explanation by default..

Her originally surging anger had already subsided by half. The remaining half was because Elysia was still

standing there.

She then raised her hand and instructed Mary, “This is none of your business anymore. You may leave.”

Seeing this, Mary quickly nodded and said, “Thank you, madam!” With that, before anyone could react, she had

already walked to the door.

After seeing her leave, Elysia yawned and said with a nonchalant look, “Since the farewell is over, | won't disturb

your mother-daughter bonding anymore.”

A faint smile curled at the corner of her lips. Before leaving, she glanced at Emma one more time, then turned

and walked out of the room.

Emma was still huddled in the corner, her arms wrapped around her knees, her body trembling slightly, looking

pitiful

“Emma... Bella's eyes were filled with tears as she slowly approached her. She wanted to embrace her, but as

soon as she was about to wrap her arms around her, she was pushed away.

Hella looked at her in disbelief and said, “Eroma, what's wrong with you...”

Emina didn’t speak, her eyes filled with too many emotions. Disappointment, fear, hatred. She couldn't believe

that in the end, everyone had betrayed her and everyone had abandoned her

Bella didn’t want her and the Rosewood family didn’t want her. She thought, “What do | leave?”

“Emma. I'm your mom... don’t scare your mom, okay... Hella said.

“Mom?” Emma sneered inwardly. A mom who only shows fake kindness afterward didn’t need that. She thought,

‘If she really loves me, why didn’i she just agree to Elysia’s demand just now, to let her leave the Rosewood

residence?

Her ears had heard it clearly, and Bella said no. She thought, ‘Elysia couldn't leave the Rosewood residence. So

can I?

“You all are the real family!” Emma'’s tone was full of coldness.

Bella was deeply hurt by this sentence and said, “No, Emma, Mom loves you.”

“Everything mom does is for you. We can’t upset your dad, or how will you be able to return to the Rosewood

residence in the future... Bella said.

Hearing the words “return to the Rosewood residence, Emma's eyes lit up and she said, “What did you say!

Return to the Rosewood residence!”

“Yes, return to the Rosewood residence!” Bella said.

Emma sneered and said, “Dad doesn’t wantanymore, can | still cback?”

Seeing her emotions stabilize, Bella slowly embraced her and said, “Trust Mom, once your dad cools down in a

few days, I'll bring up this matter to him. He will definitely let you cback!”

“Really?” Emma raised her eyebrows, not quite believing her words.

“Mom promises you!” Bella said.

With Bella's affirmative answer, she felt relieved. Whether her words were true or false, having hope was better

than having none.

Bella tearfully saw Emma off as she got into the car, and then turned around to bump into Elysia, who was

dressed and ready to leave.

They exchanged a glance, passed each other by, and neither spoke a word. Not far from the Rosewood residence

stood a red Maserati. She walked straight towards it, opened the door, and sat in the back seat

As soon as she sat down, Nicole handed her a beautifully wrapped gift box and said, “Birthday present.”

“Thank you.” She took the gift box and began to unwrap

Nicole said.

“Con! You can fool others with that, but not me. You usually a

wasn't it? It was different from the usual parties. You were being bullied, how could | just stand by and do

nothing?”

“Last night was a special case, wast Elysia raised her eyebrows and said. “Are you sure you didn’t hesitate at the

time!”

Nicole felt a bit guilty. Alright! She admitted that when she found out about Elysia’s situation, she weighed her

options carefully before finally deciding to go and support her.

But then the person who was checking the news cback and told her that the Hartley family from Jorlandia,

the Evans family, and the Shelton family from Jorlandia had already gone to support her.

She thought with these three major families there, she probably wouldn't be needed, so she dropped the idea
