Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 132 About twenty minutes later, a black sedan pulled up in front of the hospital. Robert got out of the

car, took a few steps forward, and then turned around. Leaning against the car window, he finally said, “Thank

you.” When he saw Elysia nod in response, he walked away. “Ms. Rosewood, are you heading home?” the driver

asked. “No, I'm going to the Scented Garden,” she replied. The driver started the engine and drove towards the

Scented Garden. Although he didn’t know why Elysia wanted to go there, he remembered how she had handled

things in the past, so he didn’t ask questions. After all, he was just the driver, focused on doing his job. When

they arrived at the Scented Garden, Elysia got out of the car and walked inside. The receptionist saw her and

broke into a smile. “Ms. Rosewood, please wait; Ms. Gordon will be here shortly.” Elysia nodded quietly. Just then,

Nicole walked in with her high heels clicking on the floor, exuding confidence. “Why are you here so early?” she

asked. “I happen to have sfree time,” Elysia said. Nicole nodded and put an arm around Elysia as they

walked together. “Ms. Gordon is especially nice to Ms. Rosewood,” one of the receptionists commented, watching

them with envy. “Ms. Rosewood owns half of this place,” another receptionist chimed in. “What?” “You're new

here, so it’s fair you don’t know. | was here for quite a while before discovering that. I'm not completely sure

about the details, but just remember, don’t cross Ms. Rosewood.” The new girl nodded. Nicole led Elysia into an

office, turned a statue on a bookshelf, and unlocked a hidden compartment. “Go on in.” Elysia stepped in without

hesitation. She noticed the neatly arranged boxes and casually opened one, finding a collection of jewelry boxes

in various sizes. She lifted the top box and found a bracelet. Setting it aside, she opened another box and found

a jewelry case containing a complete diamond set. Nicole clicked her tongue. “Is Jack planning to open a jewelry

store for you? There's so much here; can you even wear it all?” “If | can’t wear it all, aren't you here to help?”

Elysia replied with a light smile. “Feel free to choose.” Nicole sighed. “Forget it. This is a gift from Jack; | don’t

want any part of it.” She then pulled two envelope files from a drawer and handed them to Elysia. “These are

from Leo and Max.” When Elysia opened the envelopes, she found documents related to an island and an

amusement park. Nicole's eyes sparkled with interest. “Elysia, can | now call you the island owner?” Elysia

chuckled. “Why not callthe park owner instead? I'll invite you to enjoy my amusement park one day.” “I'm

not interested. Amusement parks are for kids; do I look that childish?” Nicole rolled her eyes. “Does Max have

s1/3 1601 Thu, 13 Feb Chapter 132 misunderstanding about you? Why else would he send you such a gift?

You don’t seem particularly childish.” “Just think, if Max heard you say that-" At that, Nicole quickly said, “Elysia,

you're my best friend.” Seeing the mischievous smile on Elysia’s face, Nicole felt a shiver run down her spine

and quickly raised a hand to stop her. “Don’t look atlike that; I'll keep it a secret.” “You are the best.” “Stop

flattering me; I'm leaving now.” “Wait! You aren't taking any of this with you?” Elysia looked at the boxes. ‘Where

should | put them? The Rosewood residence? What if they get stolen? | don’t want these items connected to the

Rosewood family in any way! Elysia said, “It's too much to carry; I'll leave them here for now and figure it out

later.” “Oh, that works. My place has plenty of space; store them here if you want.” Elysia agreed, getting ready

to leave when Nicole called out to her again. “Wait a second.” Elysia raised an eyebrow. “Is there something

else?” “There's something you should know,” Nicole said, stepping closer to hug her. “Did you see today’s

trending news?” “What trending news?” Nicole said, “I knew it. You haven't checked. The Davis family is in

trouble; Matthew has been accused of plagiarism, and their family business is facing a financial crisis. “My friend

who works for them said Matthew was admitted to the hospital this afternoon; it looks like the Davis family really

is facing a tough time. “Do you think this is retribution for them? They've tried to hurt you before. Now they're

facing the consequences. Isn't it so satisfying?” Hearing Nicole's words, Elysia recalled how she rushed Robert to

the hospital earlier. Now, she understood why he had seemed so anxious. Elysia thought, ‘Can this be just a

coincidence? The Davis family has financial issues at the stthat Matthew's plagiarism is exposed? If this

isn’t planned, it really can be retribution, as Nicole said. Still, something felt off. The Davis family might have

offended someone. Elysia thought deeply, knowing that such a significant plan must be beyond what the Davis

family could pull off. But in Sivro, few could challenge the Davis family. Despite their small size, the family held a

strong academic reputation. Anyone trying to undermine them would need to consider their own strength first.

Surely, whoever could take on the Davis family was someone that others in Sivro wouldn't dare provoke. ‘Who?*

Her mind instinctively turned to sinfluential families. The Shelton family, known for their educational

achievements and cultural roots, wouldn't likely be involved. The Evans family had no reason to do so. As for the

Hartley family, Elysia recalled Zane and the incident at the birthday party. 2/3 16:01 Thu, 13 Feb Chapter 132

She wondered if Zane was avenging her. Seeing Elysia lost in thought, Nicole poked her gently, “What is going

on in that head of yours? Elysia snapped back to reality, her voice calm. “Nothing, I'm leaving now. With that,

she walked out, Nicole stood there, surprised. She had expected Elysia to be excited. Instead, she found Elysia so

calm. It made Nicole feel like she was the childish one. Nicole thought, ‘I have to stay composed and not act too

excited. Elysia is a miracle; even at such a young age, her maturity surpasses that of most people! Once back at

the Rosewood residence, Elysia went straight to her room. After a lot of thinking, she finally pulled out her phone

and called Zane. As soon as he saw her non the screen, Zane’s excitement showed as he answered,

“Elysia.” “Zane, were you the one behind the trouble for the Davis family?” Even though it sounded like a

question, her tone held certainty. Zane’s brow furrowed slightly, surprised that Elysia figured it out so quickly.

“Elysia, if | say yes, will you be scared of me?
