Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 347

Looking at Quinita’s furrowed brows. Elysia smiled. She knew Qinita must have thought that Rebecca was going

to hurt her. Protecting her child was a mother’s instinct

When everyone heard Rebecca’s words, they frowned. “The wornan jast now said that her daughter was sent to

that kind of place. What kind of place?

Everyone's imaginations ran wild. Rebecca never thought that the two words police ratioef that she didn’t want

to mention would turn into something else in the ears of others.

Denzel also cto his senses. He had been troubled by too many things these days, and he had just been

questioned by Elysia. He hadn't recovered from the shock when he heard his wife's words and didn’t think much

of it

At the time, he didn’t think there was a problem, and everyone knew it, but he forgot that there were will people

waching the show, and not only the people, but also Evans Judging from their reactions at this time, they should

not know about this

matter yet.

His brows knitted tightly. They didn’t know now, but they would soon. If he wanted Elysia to spare his daughter,

there was no avoiding this.

Elysia said, “Mrs. Janssen, could it be that you also find it shameful to say those two words?”

Hearing Elysia’s words, Rebecca froze. Without thinking, she crawled toward Elysia, trying to grab her leg again.

But for every step she took forward, Elysia took one back.

Elysia said, “Just say what you want to say. There's no need to be so close to me.”

Hearing this, Rebecca stopped moving and said with a sob, “Ms. Erant, | beg you, please let my daughter go. Our

Janssen family will definitely remember your kindness and never forget it’

Elysia smiled, “Remember my kindness?”

She crouched down, meeting Rebecca's gaze. “Mrs. Janssen, if | hadn't been lucky that day and your daughter's

people had stabbedto death, do you think I'd still be here listening to this nonsense?”

The Evans family was taken aback when they heard Elysia’s words, and their eyes fell on Fabian in unison,

hoping that he might know something. However, they saw that he also looked puzzled.

Fabian was suspicious. He thought, ‘Could it be that something happened while | was away-something | don’t

know about?

As he was thinking, he saw Elysia stand up and raise her voice. However, there was a hint of coldness in her

voice. “I want to ask everyone present a question

“If someone tried to hurt you, your friend, or a family member, but failed and ended up in jail.

“Would you forgive them if their parents or relatives cto apologize and beg for your mercy?”

Seeing that no one responded, Elysia continued, “I know this question might be inappropriate, and | don’t mean

any harm. | just want to know what you would do.”

As if unable to bear the girl’s hopeful yet somewhat dim eyes, someone in the crowd said, “Debts must be paid,

and lives must be atoned for. If everything could be solved with an apology, then what's the point of having

laws?”

After the first person spoke, another woman's voice rang out. “Exactly. Sorry is the cheapest thing in the world. If

| heard correctly, Ms. Evans just said attempted murder, right?”

Elysia said, “Yes”

Hearing Elysia’s answer, the woman continued, “Then forgiveness is even more out of the question. What if she

had succeeded? Who would the dead person seek justice from?

“Besides, this isn’t sanimal you can slaughter as you please. This is a person. If you dare to even attempt

murder, how wicked must your heart be?”

+53)

“I agree. | believe in returning kindness for kindness and revenge for wrongdoing. If someone actually went that

far and still asked for my forgiveness, | would think they were either out of their mind or incredibly shameless.”

“How dare they ask for forgiveness after such a thing? Have sdecency! But then again, | doubt anyone

would be that thick-skinned.”

The entire audience fell silent.

Although Elysia was only giving an example, anyone with a brain could tell who she was talking about. However,

figuring out the entire story was not that simple. This was getting more and more interesting.

The Evans family frowned, their eyes cold as they looked at the kneeling couple.

Elysia continued, “Unfortunately, | am the one who was harmed.”

Although they had already guessed, hearing Elysia say it herself left everyone with an indescribable feeling.

They stared at her in shock as her gaze fell on Denzel and his wife. “I never intended to bring this up, especially

in front of my parents and brothers. It would only make them worry.

“But they ctothemselves, beggingto let their daughter go. But | am the victim.

“Just because they are putting on a pitiful act, does that mean | have to back down? Their daughter's fate is her

own fault. No one else is to blame.”

Elysia’s tone turned cold, her eyes filled with a cold light as she looked at the couple. “Besides, their daughter

was my classmate. | never thought that one day, her knife would be pointed at me. Thankfully, she didn’t

succeed.”

Mr. Janssen stiffened. Elysia’s words were directed at them. If Bianca had succeeded, they would only have

endless regret and guilt towards the Evans family.

Elysia said, “We are former classmates, yet | was stabbed in the back. In the end, it’s just jealousy between girls.

Mr. Janssen, you are so protective of your daughter, | won't say much..

“I just want to ask you all, if someone who would harm another out of jealousy is released, would they really not

pose a danger to society?”

Immediately, someone in the crowd said indignantly, “Of course, they can’t be released. People with such evil

intentions should be kept in prison and taught a good lesson.”

“Exactly. Releasing them would only bring harm to others. And you two, as parents, if you couldn’t even raise

your daughter properly, and now that she’s in jail, you still have the nerve to chere. You really have no

shame.”

A portion of the crowd had already begun to accuse Bianca's parents. The rest were either watching the

spectacle unfold or felt a pang of sympathy, wanting to speak up for them, but the words caught in their throats,

unable to be uttered.

Despite Elysia’s earlier remarks and the question she had posed, while they hadn't reacted with indignation or

threatened repercussions, they hadn't spoken a word in rebuttal either.

Speaking up now would be tantamount to contradicting those who had just spoken. Moreover, if they were to

utter a single word of disagreement, it was almost certain they would be met with hostility.

Helping was a gesture of goodwill; not helping was their prerogative. After all, they had no personal connection

with this couple, so there was no obligation or sentiment involved. Speaking up was merely an act of conscience.

They thought, If it were to clash with our own interests, who would be so kind as to step forward?
