Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 79

Elysia gave a slightly embarrassed chuckle. She admitted that she had imagined Nicole and Jeremy as a couple

many times in her mind. If they didn’t end up together, all her thinking would be in vain.

Seeing that Elysia didn’t respond. Nicole didn’t bother to ask me

more. She turned to the two people behind her. “It’s getting late. I'll take Elysia home

“Okay, stay safe” Zane said.

“Don’t worry. Mr. Hartley. I'll make sure Elysia gets hsafe and sound,” Nicole said with a knowing smile. Even

though Zane was talking to her, she understood it wasn’t out of concern. It was a reminder to get Elysia home

safe.

In other words, if Elysia weren't in Nicole's car, Zane wouldn't have said this. So, the words were aimed at her,

but because of Elysia.

Jeremy looked at

at Nicole, feeling a bit reluctant. “Remember to callwhen you get there.”

Upon hearing this, Nicole just waved her hand. “Depends on my mood,” she said before getting into the Maserati

she arrived in and driving away.

Jeremy watched as the Maserati gradually disappeared from his sight, and only then did he snap back to reality.

Looking beside him, Zane was nowhere to be seen.

Jeremy glanced around. His eyes finally landed on the black Maybach. Looking more closely, Zane was sitting in

the driver's seat. That indifferent and cunning nature was as before. He thought, ‘How could | have thought Zane

had changed? | must have been imagining things.”

He quickly Jogged over, opened the door, and got into the passenger seat, looking at Zane with annoyance. “You

left without even telling me?”

“I thought you didn’t need a reminder fromand wanted to enjoy the view a bit longer, Zane replied.

Jeremy thought, “Why am | so unlucky? Although | admit | want to see Nicole leave, being left on the street

without a word is embarrassing, isn't it?‘ Jeremy angrily turned his head “Zane, I'm ending our friendship”

“Well, if that’s the case, you can get out of the car now, Zane said.

Seeing that Jeremy said nothing. Zane started the car and drove away quickly.

After dropping Elysia off at the Rosewood residence, Nicole couldn't help but tease her, Tve completed the

mission Zane

gave me.

Elysia glanced at her and said, “Do you want my help with the rare medicine next time?”

Hearing that. Nicole quickly nodded. “Alright, let's just say | didn’t mention anything.” Without waiting for

Elysia’s reply, she started the car and, with a roar of the engine, disappeared into the night.

Inside the Rosewood residence, Bella sat on the couch in the living

Mary had been waiting at the door. When she saw Elysia, she hurried over to greet her, “Ms Elysia Rosewood,

you're finally back.”

“What's going on? Elysia asked.

“Mrs. Rosewood doesn’t look well today, so you'd better be careful,” Mary replied.

Upon hearing Mary's warning. Elysia still felt a bit uneasy. In her view, these people were waiting for her

downfall. She thought. Since when did they start givingwarnings”

But recalling past events, she wasn’t too surprised and nodded. “I got i

As soon as Elysia entered the living room, she felt an eerie silence. She glanced at Bella, sitting on the sofa with

a serious expression, and then looked away. Elysia walked past Bella as if she wasn’t even there.

But just as Elh

as Elysia was about to go upstairs, Bella challenged her, “Did you arrange for those people at the suburban

villa??

Hearing this, Elysia paused and turned to Bella, not grasping her meaning.

“Are

you

still pretending not to know? Those men from the hotel went to the suburban villa and almost assaulted Emma! If

you hadn't leaked the address, how he would they have known?” Bella asked.

Elysia finally understood. It seemed the 150 thousand dollars she promised to those middle-aged men was

working its magic.

Their information cin fast. Emma had just been kicked out of the house, and they already found out where

she was staying

Elysia thought, ‘But how could Bella be so sure it's me? Just because the victim is Emma? Ultimately, Emma is

just facing the consequences of her

‘All | did was give them smoney. As for where those people cfrom? Wasn't it Emma who brought them?

| don’t arrange anything”

it you or not?” Bella watched Elysia without any response, which only strengthened her suspicion. She frowned

and asked, “Is it

Elysia looked at Bella casually. “No. Why is it whenever something concerns Emma, you suspect me?”

“With her temperament, she’s likely offended a lot of people. Maybe someone is just taking this chance to get

back at her. Why am | the only one you're suspecting!”

“And let's not forget the hotel incident. Emma was the one who askedout. You haven't forgotten about that,

have you?” Bella was left speechless; Elysia’s point was clear.

Since Emma arranged the meeting, those men at the hotel were likely set up by Emma herself. Bella thought. So

now these people have found Emuna. If it’s not for revenge, what else could it be?”

But Bella couldn't believe things were that simple, yet she couldnt provide any evidence

“If you're done, Mom, I'll excuse myself.” Elysia said.

As she was about to go upstairs, Bella asked again, “What did you

do today!”

“Today! Oh, | was busy cleaning up the mess your precious daughter left, Elysia replied.

Bella thought, ‘A mess? What mess? She looked confused and was about to ask when Scott walked in, looking

unhappy.

Scott had overheard their conversation at the door. Talking about the mess reminded him of the 300 thousand

dollars he spent dealing with Emma’s issues. He thought, ‘All that money, wasted!”

Bella noticed his sour expression and wisely kept her mouth shut.

“Is everything taken care of?” Scott asked, looking at Elysia

“Don’t worry, Dad!” Elysia replied.

Hearing this, Scott finally nodded. “That's good.”

Bella was confused while listening to their conversation. She could barely understand that Elysia’s claim about

cleaning up a mess for Emma was true, and it was actually authorized by Scott. Beyond that, she was clueless.

Bella wanted to know what mess needed handling, but since it involved Emuna and Scott was in a bad mood,

bringing it up might anger him. It would be even harder to get Emma back in the future.

Elysia saw that no one was talking.

so she turned around and went upstairs.
