Chapter 79
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 didnât end up together, all her thinking would be in vain.
Seeing that Elysia didnât respond. Nicole didnât bother to ask me more. She turned to the two people behind her. âItâs getting late. Iâll take Elysia home âOkay, stay safeâ Zane said.
âDonât worry. Mr. Hartley. Iâll make sure Elysia gets home safe and sound,â Nicole said with a knowing smile. Even though Zane was talking to her, she understood it wasnât out of concern. It was a reminder to get Elysia home safe.
In other words, if Elysia werenât in Nicoleâs car, Zane wouldnât have said this. So, the words were aimed at her, but because of Elysia.
Jeremy looked at at Nicole, feeling a bit reluctant. âRemember to call me when you get there.â
Upon hearing this, Nicole just waved her hand. âDepends on my mood,â 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 driverâs seat. That indifferent and cunning nature was as before. He thought, âHow could I have thought Zane had changed? I must have been imagining things.â
He quickly Jogged over, opened the door, and got into the passenger seat, looking at Zane with annoyance. âYou left without even telling me?â
âI thought you didnât need a reminder from me and wanted to enjoy the view a bit longer, Zane replied.
Jeremy thought, âWhy am I so unlucky? Although I admit I want to see Nicole leave, being left on the street without a word is embarrassing, isnât it?â Jeremy angrily turned his head âZane, Iâm ending our friendshipâ
âWell, if thatâs the case, you can get out of the car now, Zane said.
rasked âWhat?â Jeremy a âArenât we ending our friendship** Zane replied.
Jeremy thought, I should have known better than to get emotional with Zane, or fdend up furious. Since I ha arguing with him Jeremy tried to calm himself down.
I have a generous heart, itâs not worth Seeing that Jeremy said nothing. Zane started the car and drove away quickly.
After dropping Elysia off at the Rosewood residence, Nicole couldnât help but tease her, Tve completed the mission Zane gave me.
I can report back now.â
Elysia glanced at her and said, âDo you want my help with the rare medicine next time?â
Hearing that. Nicole quickly nodded. âAlright, letâs just say I didnât mention anything.â Without waiting for Elysiaâs 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 groom, arms crossed and looking unhapp Mary had been waiting at the door. When she saw Elysia, she hurried over to greet her, âMs Elysia Rosewood, youâre finally back.â
âWhatâs going on? Elysia asked.
âMrs. Rosewood doesnât look well today, so youâd better be careful,â Mary replied.
Upon hearing Maryâs warning. Elysia still felt a bit uneasy. In her view, these people were waiting for her downfall. She thought.
Since when did they start giving me warningsâ
But recalling past events, she wasnât too surprised and nodded. âI 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 wasnât even there.
12.07 PM Chapter 79 But just as Elh as Elysia was about to go upstairs, Bella challenged her, âDid you arrange for those people at the suburban villa??
Hearing this, Elysia paused and turned to Bella, not grasping her meaning.
âAre you still pretending not to know? Those men from the hotel went to the suburban villa and almost assaulted Emma! If you hadnât leaked the address, how he would they have known?â Bella asked.
Elysia finally understood. It seemed the 150 thousand dollars she promised to those middleâaged men was working its magic.
Their information came in fast. Emma had just been kicked out of the house, and they already found out where she was staying Elysia thought, âBut how could Bella be so sure itâs me? Just because the victim is Emma? Ultimately, Emma is just facing the consequences of her âAll I did was give them some money. As for where those people came from? Wasnât it Emma who brought them? I donât arrange anythingâ
it you or not?â Bella watched Elysia without any response, which only strengthened her suspicion. She frowned and asked, âIs it Elysia looked at Bella casually. âNo. Why is it whenever something concerns Emma, you suspect me?â
âWith her temperament, sheâs likely offended a lot of people. Maybe someone is just taking this chance to get back at her. Why am I the only one youâre suspecting!â
âAnd letâs not forget the hotel incident. Emma was the one who asked me out. You havenât forgotten about that, have you?â Bella was left speechless; Elysiaâs 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 itâs not for revenge, what else could it be?â
But Bella couldnât believe things were that simple, yet she couldnât provide any evidence âIf youâre done, Mom, Iâll excuse myself.â Elysia said.
As she was about to go upstairs, Bella asked again, âWhat did you do today!â
âToday! Oh, I was busy cleaning up the mess your precious daughter left, Elysia replied.
Bella thought, âA 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 Emmaâs issues. He thought, âAll that money, wasted!â
Bella noticed his sour expression and wisely kept her mouth shut.
âIs everything taken care of?â Scott asked, looking at Elysia âDonât worry, Dad!â Elysia replied.
Hearing this, Scott finally nodded. âThatâs good.â
Bella was confused while listening to their conversation. She could barely understand that Elysiaâs 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.
