Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 77

This villa was where the Rosewood family lived before they made their fortune. Over the years, as neighbors

moved away, the area had become

desolate.

The thought of spending her f

future here, within the confines of this villa, made her feel as if all hope was lost. Loneliness and disappointment

welled up inside her once again.

She reached out to touch the rusty tron gate, listening to the creaking sound it made as it swung open, a chill

entering her eyes. Was her life. Emma's life, truly destined to be spent in this villa, monotonous and without

interest?

She was unwilling to accept this fate. One day, she would take back everything she had lost, plece by piece. Just

as she was about to step inside, she suddenly heard the voices of several men not far away.

“Damn it! Is this even the place! It doesn’t look like anyone lives here. It's so desolate and unlucky!”

“Enough blabbering! Once we find the person and get the job done, as long as the money is in hand, everything

will be fine!”

“Hey! Isnt that her over there!!” The man pointed in Emma's direction, and the others took notice as well.

They thought, By God, that is the person we are looking for. We searched for so long, wasting so much effort. We

will definitely teach her a lesson when we catch her

As soon as Emma heard their conversation, her gaze had been fixed on the direction of the sound.

As the voices grew closer and she recognized the men, her expression changed from initial confusion to sheer

terror. She thought, ‘Aren’t these the smen from the hotel before? No wonder their voices are so familiar!

She had an ominous premonition, and it was growing stronger. She felt certain that these men showing up here

could not niean anything good. Without tto think she ran towards the villa.

The men, seeing this, quickly chased after her. They weren't going weren't about to let her go now.

In their eyes, Emma was now nothing but stacks of hundred-dollar bills. Once they were done with her, 150

thousand dollars would be theirs. Who could resist such a templation!

Emma had already run into the courtyard, frantically entering the hdoor password on the lock. But the door

seemed to be deliberately against her, showing a password error no matter how she tried to input it.

As the men closed in on her, her heart pounded and her hands began to shake uncontrollably. She thought,

“What should | do! What should I do?

“Let's see where you run now! The man had caught up and was now standing at the entrance of the villa,

panting heavily. The other men also stood at the door, out of breath.

“You little wretch, makingchase you so hard!” Seeing the men completely block the villa door, each with a

ferocious and lecherous look on their faces, Emma’s heart raced even faster.

She turned around in a panic and continued to enter the password on the lock, hoping to open the door and keep

these men out. But her hands wouldn't obey her, shaking so much she couldn’t remember which numbers to

press.

Seeing her actions, the men becfurious. “Damn it! Still trying to escape? The man said as he stepped

The man, who was unfastening his belt, paused at her words and said. “How much money will you give us?”

Hearing there was a chance, Emina quickly replied, “30 thousand dollars?

“30 thousand dollars! The man burst into laughter, “You think 30 thousand dollars will make us let you go! Are

you underestimating us, or yourself?”

“Then 60 hundred thousand”“.

“60 hundred thousand? You're too naive!”

Hearing the man’s refusal, Emma’s body stiffened. 60 hundred thousand was all the savings she could muster,

and they still weren't satisfied.

Back then, 30 thousand dollars was enough to make them bow and scrape, determined to deal with Elysia.

Emma thought, ‘Now, their appetite has grown so large. How much has Elysia paid them!”

“If you can’t cup with the money, just submit to us quietly!” The man said, already having unbuckled his

belt and holding it in his hand. Emma was terrified, nothing was more important than her safety at this moment.

Thinking quickly, she said, “90 hundred thousand That's my limit!” She thought the men would be satisfied now,

but to her surprise, they laughed “Your limit is only 90 hundred thousand? Then what's the point of bargaining?

Stop wasting time! | will be gentle.”

Emma thought, 90 hundred thousand isn’t enough? This was the money she could gather by selling all her bags

and jewelry, and they still weren't

content.

“How much do you want?” Her voice carried a hint of coldness

“This much!” The man held up a finger.

Emma frowned slightly, It couldn't be a hundred thousand, so it had to be a million! They were really demanding

an exorbitant price.

“What do you say? Can you cup with it?” they said.

“It’s just too much!” she answered.

“Too much? | think a million shouldn’t be difficult for a rich girl like you. Or do you think you're not worth that

much?”

“I've been cast out by the Rosewood family | can’t cup with that much money,” Famma said.

“Then we're sorry, but that’s not our

She backed up in fear, her foot hitting a stone post and causing her to fall to the ground. The men were now

right in front of Emma, grabbing her hands. Her face was filled with terror, and helpless tears streamed down her

cheeks,

But inside, she was filled with hatred for Elysia. Today's humiliation was brought upon her by Elysia. Emma

thought, Why does she have to appear and ruin everything for me?

Just as she thought it was all over, a familiar voice r

reached her ears, pulling her out of the abyss at that moment.

Robert's eyes were bloodshot as he pushed the men aside, standing in front of Emma protectively and pointing

at them. He angrily shouted, “You beasts! Do you even have any humanity left?*

Their mood soured by the interruption, the men retorted, “Humanity? Can it be spent like cash?
