Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns
Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Hearing her voice, the three old men turned toward the door, and when they saw Elysia, smiles appeared on their faces. âCome over, Elysia,â Jack called out, waving his hand.
Elysia quickly ran over and hugged him, resting her head against his chest. âJack.â
âWhy are you crying?â Jack asked.
âIâm so happy to see you. Thatâs why Iâm crying,â Elysia said.
âReally? Come on, let me take a look. Have you been doing well?â Jack said, gently lifting her face to inspect her. âYou look like a bunny when you cry.â
âIs that a compliment?â Elysia replied.
Jack said, âYeah. If you really become a bunny, we can just bundle you up and take you back to Silverstream.â
âAre you taking me to Silverstream?â Elysiaâs eyes widened, her gaze turning serious as she looked up at Jack. For a moment, the entire room was silent. Of course, they would love to take her with them, but they couldnât. Jack cleared his throat, breaking the silence. âElysia, your home is here.â
âYou donât love me anymore, right?â Elysiaâs voice wavered.
âDonât be silly. How could we not love you?â Jack quickly replied, his voice stern.
âElysia, tell us the truth. Is the Rosewood family treating you badly?â Max asked, rolling up his sleeves. He thought, âDid they really think they could mess with Elysia? Iâd make them regret it!â
Leoâs temper flared too. He wouldnât let anyone bully her. âElysia, tell me whatâs going on.â
Their gazes focused on Elysia, their expressions filled with concern and anger, waiting for her response.
Seeing the worry and frustration in their eyes, Elysia felt a lump in her throat. She struggled to hold back her tears but managed a smile. âYou misunderstood me. I just missed you guys so much. Just ask Nicole if you donât believe me.â
Nicole, who had been watching them with great interest, suddenly jolted in surprise. She looked at Elysia, unsure how to respond. Elysia gave her a subtle glance, and Nicole quickly spoke up, âYeah, Elysia just missed you guys.â
âReally,â Elysia added.
âYeah,â Nicole said with complete sincerity, sweating. After all, the three old men were not people she could mess with. If they got angry, she wouldnât be able to handle it.
âReally, I just missed you. I havenât been wronged. You know me, right? I always get revenge if someone crosses me. Who could possibly bully me?â Elysia said with a wink.
She had planned to handle this on her own from the start. The reason was simple. She didnât want them worrying about her.
They were getting older, and it was better for them not to be involved in all these troublesome matters.
âThatâs true,â Jack said with a chuckle, reaching out to gently tap her head. âWith your personality, no one would dare bully you.â

âAlright, we wonât,â the three old men said in unison, all smiling at her.

Nicole let out a sigh of relief before breaking into a smile. âYou must be tired. Iâve already arranged for dinner to be served. How about we enjoy it together?â
âThat sounds perfect,â Leo said as he stood up.
They moved to a private room at Scented Garden, where the table was already covered with a variety of delicious dishes.
Knowing they hadnât seen each other in a while, Nicole thoughtfully excused herself and left the room.
After they had eaten their fill, Jack finally spoke up. âElysia, thereâs something I want to talk to you while youâre here in Sivro,â
âWhat is it, Jack?â Elysia asked, her curiosity piqued.
âI want you to handle the collaboration between Spark Entertainment and Fabian Group.â Jack said, âThe family business is getting bigger, and sooner or later, youâll need to take over. You should get familiar with things now.â
âUnderstood.â Elysia nodded with determination.
âGood.â Jack said with a satisfied smile, âIâll give you the contract soon. The meeting is scheduled for tonight.â
âThatâs so soon.â Elysiaâs eyes widened a bit.
Jack chuckled at her reaction. âWhatâs wrong? Are you losing confidence already?â
âOf course not. Just wait and see!â Elysia grinned confidently. She thought, âWith me on the job, nothing is impossible!â âAlright, Iâll wait for your good news,â Jack said with a smile.
After getting the contract, Elysia carefully examined it before searching online for information about the Fabian Group. The founder of the Fabian Group, Fabian Evans, graduated from a prestigious university with a Ph.D. He established the company five years ago and, within just two years, made it one of the leading enterprises in Clusia.
He became a business legend in Clusia, his strength rivaling that of Zane.
His father, Edward Evans, ran the Evans Group, a family business with deep roots in Jorlandia. The Evans family was a major influence in the cityâjust a single move could shake the whole of Jorlandia.
There were three powerful families in Clusiaâthe Evans family, which was involved in many industries, with a focus on business, the Shelton family, a scholarly family with a centuryâold heritage, and the Hartley family, who had been in business with their empire spanning the globe.
After getting a basic understanding of Fabian and his company, Elysia tucked the contract away and closed her eyes to rest.
At seven in the evening, Elysia arrived at Stellar Restaurant. She wore a light blue dress that made her appear even more elegant. After talking to the waiter, she was led to a private room. Fabian hadnât arrived yet, as their scheduled time was sevenâ
twenty.
Fabian was always punctual, never showing up before the agreed time. It was around fifteen past seven when he appeared at the entrance. The waiter led him to the private room, and as the door opened, he saw Elysia sitting with her back to him.
He raised an eyebrow and began walking toward her. As he passed by, a familiar scent reached his nose, causing him to 2/3 DreameâRead Romance...

pause. His gaze landed on her.
When he saw her face clearly, he froze. Elysiaâs faceâit looked strikingly like Evelynâs. No, it was more accurate to say it resembled Evelyn all grown up. He couldnât believe itâtwo people could look so alike.
âMr. Evans, is something wrong?â Elysia asked, noticing his intense stare.
Fabian quickly snapped out of his trance, masking his surprise with a quick smile. âNothingâ
Then sat down opposite her. His gaze never left her face, and the resemblance only seemed more striking the longer he looked.
He had smelled the familiar scent of flowers before, backstage at the Star Venue. The woman whose back he had only seen- he never expected to run into her here.
The door opened again, and the waiter entered with a cart of food. He carefully placed the dishes on the table, then stepped back respectfully, leaving the two alone.
âI hope youâll like these dishes, Mr. Evans. If not, we can have them replaced,â Elysia said politely.
