Chapter 347
Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns
Chapter 347 Looking at Quinitaâs furrowed brows. Elysia smiled. She knew Qinita must have thought that Rebecca was going to hurt her.
Protecting her child was a motherâs instinct When everyone heard Rebeccaâs words, they frowned. âThe wornan jast now said that her daughter was sent to that kind of place. What kind of place?
Everyoneâs imaginations ran wild. Rebecca never thought that the two words police ratioef that she didnât want to mention would turn into something else in the ears of others.
Denzel also came to his senses. He had been troubled by too many things these days, and he had just been questioned by Elysia. He hadnât recovered from the shock when he heard his wifeâs words and didnât think much of it At the time, he didnât 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 didnât know now, but they would soon. If he wanted Elysia to spare his daughter, there was no avoiding this.
Elysia said, âMrs. Janssen, could it be that you also find it shameful to say those two words?â
Hearing Elysiaâs 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, âJust say what you want to say. Thereâs no need to be so close to me.â
Hearing this, Rebecca stopped moving and said with a sob, âMs. Erant, I beg you, please let my daughter go. Our Janssen family will definitely remember your kindness and never forget itâ
Elysia smiled, âRemember my kindness?â
She crouched down, meeting Rebeccaâs gaze. âMrs. Janssen, if I hadnât been lucky that day and your daughterâs people had stabbed me to death, do you think Iâd still be here listening to this nonsense?â
The Evans family was taken aback when they heard Elysiaâs 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, âCould it be that something happened while I was awayâsomething I donât 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. âI want to ask everyone present a question âIf someone tried to hurt you, your friend, or a family member, but failed and ended up in jail.
âWould you forgive them if their parents or relatives came to apologize and beg for your mercy?â
Seeing that no one responded, Elysia continued, âI know this question might be inappropriate, and I donât mean any harm. I just want to know what you would do.â
As if unable to bear the girlâs hopeful yet somewhat dim eyes, someone in the crowd said, âDebts must be paid, and lives must be atoned for. If everything could be solved with an apology, then whatâs the point of having laws?â
After the first person spoke, another womanâs voice rang out. âExactly. Sorry is the cheapest thing in the world. If I heard correctly, Ms. Evans just said attempted murder, right?â
Elysia said, âYesâ
1/3 09:29 Wed, 19 Mar Chapter 347 Hearing Elysiaâs answer, the woman continued, âThen forgiveness is even more out of the question. What if she had succeeded?
Who would the dead person seek justice from?
âBesides, this isnât some animal you can slaughter as you please. This is a person. If you dare to even attempt murder, how wicked must your heart be?â
+53)
âI agree. I believe in returning kindness for kindness and revenge for wrongdoing. If someone actually went that far and still asked for my forgiveness, I would think they were either out of their mind or incredibly shameless.â
âHow dare they ask for forgiveness after such a thing? Have some decency! But then again, I doubt anyone would be that thickâ
skinned.â
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 drama was getting more and more interesting.
The Evans family frowned, their eyes cold as they looked at the kneeling couple.
Elysia continued, âUnfortunately, I am the one who was harmed.â
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. âI never intended to bring this up, especially in front of my parents and brothers. It would only make them worry.
âBut they came to me themselves, begging me to let their daughter go. But I am the victim.
âJust because they are putting on a pitiful act, does that mean I have to back down? Their daughterâs fate is her own fault. No one else is to blame.â
Elysiaâs tone turned cold, her eyes filled with a cold light as she looked at the couple. âBesides, their daughter was my classmate. I never thought that one day, her knife would be pointed at me. Thankfully, she didnât succeed.â
Mr. Janssen stiffened. Elysiaâs words were directed at them. If Bianca had succeeded, they would only have endless regret and guilt towards the Evans family.
Elysia said, âWe are former classmates, yet I was stabbed in the back. In the end, itâs just jealousy between girls. Mr. Janssen, you are so protective of your daughter, I wonât say much..
âI 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?â
Immediately, someone in the crowd said indignantly, âOf course, they canât be released. People with such evil intentions should be kept in prison and taught a good lesson.â
âExactly. Releasing them would only bring harm to others. And you two, as parents, if you couldnât even raise your daughter properly, and now that sheâs in jail, you still have the nerve to come here. You really have no shame.â
A portion of the crowd had already begun to accuse Biancaâs 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 Elysiaâs earlier remarks and the question she had posed, while they hadnât reacted with indignation or threatened repercussions, they hadnât 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.
