Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns
Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Ava got proud when she heard that, âI actually have an invitation to Elysiaâs birthday party. What about you?â Eric said. âWhat birthday party? What are you talking about? I didnât know anything about thatâ âSee? Do you still think youâre closer to Elysia than me? Thatâs hilarious,â said Ava. Elysia watched the two squabbling over her attention and couldnât help but chuckle at their childish behavior Eric, looking a bit annoyed, retorted, âWell, if you hadnât always kept Elysia by your side, I wouldâve known about it earlier.â Then he turned to Elysia, asking, âWhenâs your birthday? Send me an invitationâ Ava said, âJust leave us alone. You wonât get it Eric said. âIm not talking to you, Ava â âIt seems that you need a good lesson,â Ava said, rolling up her sleeves. Seeing the brewing tension. Elysia quickly intervened, grabbing Avaâs arm. âIl bring the invitations tomorrow, alright?â âDid you hear that? Elysia is way kinder than youâ Eric nudged Ava and added. âI suddenly feel like you need a nicknameâ Awaâs face was stern, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes as she looked at Eric. She thought. He better watch his mouth or Iâll hit him. Eric didnât seem to notice anything was off. He thought for a moment and said, âWith your temper, you should be called the Beast. No, Demon would probably fit you better.â After saying that, he nodded, looking quite pleased with himself. âWhat do you think of this name. Elysia?â Elysiaâs smile froze. âI think... you might pay a price for your sharp tongue.â As soon as she finished speaking Ava raised her fist and punched Eric. âAre you serious? Eric rubbed his back, thinking. Come on, she really did hit hard, just like a demon âWhat do you expect?â said Av Eric raised his hand as if to hit back at Ava, but he pulled it back just before touching her. âNever mind. A wise man doesnât fight with a girl.â âItâs me, a wise girl, who kindly let you go!â
said Ava. When Robert heard that the incident at the auditorium had something to do with Emma, he rushed over to Class 2 in a panic. As soon as he saw her, he noticed her red eyes, a sign sheâd been crying not long ago.. Emma, upon seeing Robert, couldnât hold it in any longer, and her tears started flowing again. Robertâs heart ached as he saw her, and he quickly moved closer. âItâs okayâ Emma cried even harder at his words, âRobert, do you think everyone is going to hate me?â Robert said, âOf course not. Youâve always been so understanding. No one could ever dislike youâ âReally?â said Emma âOf course. Have 1 ever lied to you?â Robert said, gently stroking Emmaâs hair, âWhat happened?â At his question, Emmaâs eyes briefly lit up with a glimmer of hope. She wiped away her tears and said slowly, âIt was Elysia.â âElysia?â Robert raised an eyebrow. âYeah, last night it was already late when I saw Elysia get out of a fancy car. I couldnât see the person in the car clearly, but I knew he wasnât a good perion âI was upset and worried about Flysia, so Fold Mia and the others about it. They just wanted to help, but Elysia didnât appreciate it and even kicked Mia in the processâ Robert frowned as he listened to Emmaâs words. He had heard bits and pieces of what happened, but not the full story. He had been paying close attention when they mentioned Emma, and his concern for her made him rush over without hearing the entire situation. 1/2 12.03 PM Chapter 51 He just needed to make sure she was okay. He thought, Emma is always so kind and gentle. How upset must she be to go through something like this? Now, hearing everything from Emmaâs side, his expression darkened. He thought, Did Elysia get out of a fancy car Was this the reason she rejected the engagement? She always appears so pure on the outside, but it turns out that sheâs a gold digger Emma didnât know exactly what Hobert was thinking, but she knew well about him. Even if he hadnât heard the full story, he could easily fill in the blanks himself. Soon, heâll have a good ideant what Elysia was really like Emma said. âHow could Elysia do something like that, Robert! Mia was just trying to help, and she actually hit her! Sheâs not in the countryside anymore and she canât just act however she wants.â Robertâs frown deepened at her words. He wondered. Of course, someone who has lived in the countryside for eighteen years would definitely behave like this. Itâs clear she doesnât have the poise expected of someone from a prestigious family. Robert felt an overwhelming sense of relief that his engagement with Elysia had fallen through. If he had to spend his life with someone like her. he would be miserable He said softly, âNot everyone in this world is as kind as you, Emma. Donât worry, as long as Iâm here, no one will bully you.â Emma said. âThank you, Robert Robert gently stroked her head and said gently. âBe a good girl and head back to class, alright?â Emma nodded reluctantly and finally headed into the classroom. Robert came to Class 6 during the second break of the afternoon. Oddly, the classroom that was usually the most chaotic was eerily quiet, with everyone focused on their work, heads down. He thought, âDid I walk into the wrong classroom? He glanced again at the sign hanging by the doorâClass 6. Once he confirmed he was in the right place, he looked back at the students hunched over their desks, wondering, âAre they still the same group of people? Itâs unbelievable! Class 6 has a notorious reputation for being lazy, but now, they seem completely different. However, it didnât matter much to him. His purpose was clearâhe was there to give Elysia a lesson and teach her some manners Standing at the door, he lightly knocked on the first desk against the wall. Iâm looking for Elysiaâ The girl looked up in shock, her face lighting up with excitement. She couldnât believe that the top student and school hunk, Robert, had just come to Class 6 and that he had even spoken to herâshe could hardly contain her excitement.
Robert watched the girl fawn over him, feeling a little speechless before he spoke again, âCould you please go get Elysia for me?
Thanksâ The girl snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded. âOf course. Iâll go get her right nowâ Once she left, Robert stepped out into the hallway, standing casually by the railing. Elysia was explaining a problemâsolving method to someone when she saw the girl approaching. She assumed she had a question for her and was about to ask her to wait when the girl quickly blurted out, âElysia, someone is looking for you. Without another word, the girl turned and left. Elysia frowned, feeling confused. She set the textbook aside and walked to the door. When she stepped outside, she spotted Robert leaning casually against the railing.
Curiosity flickered in her eyes. She thought. What could Robert want with me? Is he upset about the broken engagement and looking for trouble! Or... is be here to defend Emmat
