Chapter 263
Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns
Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Previously, they were only aware of Elysia acknowledging the Jackson couple as her godparents, unaware that she had a godbrother as well.
Upon glimpsing the trio from the Jackson family together just now, they harbored a faint suspicion but clung to a slim hope, praying that no connection existed between Elysia and Logan.
However, their hopes were dashed. Not only Logan was connected, but also Elysia regarded him as her brother. They werenât pleased with this revelation. The four felt their status threatened and directed unfriendly glares at Logan.
Logan, sensing the pressure from across the room, was at a loss for how to respond.
Replaying the conversation in his mind, Logan realized their expressions had shifted when Elysia mentioned âGodbrother Now, he understood the anxiety his parents had felt before arriving at the Evans residence. He was experiencing it firsthand.
He comprehended that Elysia was truly related to them, while he merely bore the title of âGodbrother. Even if it were him, he wouldnât appreciate it. He harbored the hope that the four brothers would embrace him.
Noticing the tension, Elysia turned her head slightly to glance at Logan, and then at the four brothers sitting opposite him.
Caught up in bridging the gap between the elders, she had overlooked the need to foster a connection between her brothers and Logan. With this realization, she cleared her throat and looked at Fabian and his three brothers.
With a playful tone, she said, âBrothers, when I was with the Rosewood family, Logan took good care of me. Heâs like a brother to me, just like you.â
Upon hearing this, Fabian and the others raised their eyebrows slightly and looked at Logan with a discerning gaze. They couldnât miss the implication behind her words: she wanted them to get along. Whatever Elysia said, they would heed Fabianâs previously stern face finally softened into a smile. Folding his hands, he looked at Logan and said, âThanks for taking care of Elysia earlier.â
With the eldest brotherâs words, the others also relaxed. Javierâs enchanting eyes now held a hint of a smile, easing the tense atmosphere.
Yehoshuaâs expression remained unreadable, but it was evident that his mood had improved slightly.
Only Holden continued to pout defiantly, eyeing Logan in front of him who seemed to be around the same age. Holden was afraid that Elysia ended up liking Logan more than him.
Seeing the effect of her words, Elysia was satisfied, her gaze sweeping over the four. But when she looked at Holden, she noticed his stern face. She reached out and gently poked him, leaning in to whisper, âCome on, Holden. Give us a smile.â
However, Holden didnât respond to her words. Instead, he quietly asked, âElysia, am I about the same age as him?â
Elysia turned her gaze to Logan and softly replied, âHeâs younger than you.â
Upon hearing this, Holden finally managed a smile. Knowing Logan was younger made him feel better.
Elysia sat up straight in her seat, relieved. A smile was better than a frown, after all. But speaking of age, it reminded her of something.
Before reuniting with the Evans residence, Logan had been her only brother, so she could call him whatever she pleased. But now that she was back, calling Logan âbroâ might upset the other brothers. So she pondered changing it to something more comfortable.
With this in mind, she gazed at Logan and proposed, âLogan, youâre younger than Holden. Now you have big brothers.â
1/2 Chapter 203 Before Logan could respond, Edward chuckled and said, âSo I have five soms now Olive burst into laughs.
Seeing both Olive and Edward nod in agreement, Logan quickly concurred, âThat is new to me?
Just as he finished speaking, a servant entered and respectfully reported to Edward, âMr. Evans, Vincent has arrivedâ
âVincent?â Olive raised an eyebrow, âHeâs early today, heâs usually barely on time. That old schemer. Go ahead and invite him in.
Iâm curious to see what heâs up to todayâ

âYes, maâam,â the servant replied before exiting. Oliveâs gaze swept over Edward. She had been with this family for so many years that any change couldnât escape her sharp eyes. But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.
When the servant led Vincent in, Faelan was by his side, accompanied by Zane.
Upon seeing Zane, Fabianâs expression grew serious. Ever since he discovered Elysiaâs close connection to Zane, he had been anxious and unable to rest easy, Although Zane was a genius in the business world, he was renowned for his ruthlessness, Fabian didnât want Elysia to get hurt. Fabian hoped she would end up with an ordinary person, someone who didnât need an impressive background but could wholeheartedly care for her.
Now, Fabian only had this one sister left. If possible, he hoped she could always stay at the Evans residence, where he could protect her. Regardless of these considerations, Zane was indeed quite older.
Their eyes met, and Zane sensed Fabianâs hostility towards him, clearly because of Elysia. It seemed Fabian wasnât satisfied with Zane. But this time, Zane wouldnât back down, unless Elysia didnât want him anymore.
Olive looked at Vincent, her face beaming with smiles. âVincent, you usually donât care for these events, and itâs unusual for you to be on time. Why are you so early today?â
âMrs. Evans, it depends on whoâs hosting. For an event organized by the Evans family, I have to show up early to show respect,â
Vincent replied.
Despite Vincentâs words, Olive didnât believe him at all. Last year, on her significant birthday, Vincent barely made it on time. And now he was talking about respect and being early today.
No one was buying it. Olive was sure Vincent had something on his mind. But she wasnât going to call him out on it.
If he wanted to say something, he would say it without her prompting. If he didnât want to, even if she pressed hard, she wouldnât get anything out of him.
Elysia sat beside Olive, observing the exchange between the two, completely detaching herself with no intention of joining the conversation.
Vincentâs gaze turned to Elysia, raising an eyebrow with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice. âElysia, you see your mentor and 11 зн Vin 2/2 AD Comment Send gift
