Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 283

Watching Phoche’s bold move, Yehoshua’s eyes widened in shock. Not just him, but the other three brothers

were equally

stunned.

‘She actually carries a solid metal ball with her? And not only that, she aimed so precisely, hitting the guy’s leg

in one shot There's no way she hasn't trained for this, Yehoshua thought, his jaw nearly dropping.

Phoebe’s attention remained fixed on the man, completely oblivious to the Evans brothers’ stares. The man

struggled to his feet, wobbling unsteadily.

‘Is he seriously trying to run even after getting his leg smashed? Does he think losing one leg isn’t enough?

Phoebe wondered, her eyebrows shooting up.

Before anyone could react, Phoebe suddenly charged forward, grabbing the man by his collar with a fierce,

almost theatrical

flair.

The Evans brothers exchanged glances. Somehow, they felt that was somewhat familiar, as if they had seen it

before.

Just as the thought crossed their minds, the man pulled a knife from his pocket, aiming it straight at Phoebe’s

throat. The brothers’ faces turned pale.

‘If something happens to Phoebe while she’s with us, how are we going to explain this to Elysia? they thought,

panic rising in their chests.

But before they could even move, Phoebe grabbed the man’s wrist. In the next second, the knife clattered to the

ground.

The man crumpled to his knees, his face twisted in pain, while Phoebe stood there, calm and unbothered, her

grip still firm. The contrast between her relaxed expression and the man’s agony was almost comical.

“Please, miss, | was wrong! Letgo!” The man begged, sweat dripping down his face.

Phoebe smirked, tightening her grip. “Let you go? | gave you a chance, and you blew it.” With a sharp twist, a

loud crack echoed, and the man howled in pain..

Phoebe finally released him, her lips curling into a devilish grin.

“I was only going to break your leg, but since you decided to run, consider this hand a lesson. Try running again,

and I'll take the other one too.”

The man clutched his broken hand, collapsing to the ground. He wasn’t going anywhere now. “This woman was

terrifying, and he wasn’t about to test her again, he thought.

The Evans brothers watched the scene unfold, the familiarity of it all hitting them like a ton of bricks. Especially

that smirk on Phoebe’s face-it was uncanny.

“That's exactly how Elysia looks when she’s about to teach someone a lesson! they three realized. ‘No wonder

Phoebe’s so capable. Elysia’s friends are all on another level. She didn’t need our help at all.”

Phoebe glanced at the bag on the ground but made no move to pick it up. If she remembered correctly, the

owner of that bag had mocked her earlier. Getting it back was already more than the woman deserved.

‘Expectingto hand it to her? Not happening,’ Phoebe thought, her lips curling in disdain.

She turned to the group of women behind her, raising an eyebrow. “You waiting forto pick it up and hand

asked, her tone sharp.

you?” she

The woman flinched, not daring to say a word. She hurried forward, scooped up the bag, and muttered a quick

“Thank you” before scurrying off to join her friends. The group didn’t stick around, quickly disappearing from the

scene.

Con

Phoche watched them go, then turned her gaze to the Evans brothers, who were still standing there, frozen.

“What are you waiting for? Call the cops,” she said, her voice firm

The brothers all turned to Holden, who pointed at himself, incredulous “Me? Do you wantto call the cops? I'm

a public figure he protested, his voice rising in disbelief.

As soon as Holden finished speaking, a phone appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw Javier's handsome

face Javier, you

“Use this phone to call Javier said in a calm, emotionless tome. Holden felt like his whole world had just

darkened. He glanced at Fabian and Yehoshua, hoping for backup, but neither of them seemed willing to step in

Reluctantly, Holden took the phone and dialed the police. By the tthe officers arrived, the group had to

accompany them to the station to give their statements.

The whole ordeal dragged on until evening, and by the tthey returned to the Evans residence, Elysia was

already sitting in the living room. Seeing them walk in, Elysia smiled, “You're back so late. Looks like you had

quite the day?

“Elysia, don’t even ask. | spent the entire afternoon at the police station.” Phoebe groaned, collapsing onto the

couch and resting her head on Elysia’s shoulder, looking completely drained.

Elysia’s eyes lit up with curiosity. “The police station. Did the outside world not excite you enough, so you had to

go find sthrills there?”

“Not at all! | was just being a good citizen, helping the police catch a robber. They even said they'd senda

commendation, callinga ‘heroic and caring citizen,” Phoebe said proudly.

Then, as if remembering something, Phoebe glanced around the living room and noticed two familiar faces were

missing. “Elysia, where are your two friends? | don’t see them.”

“Elena stayed at the Shelton residence. She said she wanted to spend squality twith her parents. As for

Ava, her parents insisted she stay with them for a while, so | cback alone,” Elysia explained.

“Ah, | sec. No wonder they're not here. Looks like it’s justkeeping you company tonight,” Phoebe said,

stretching lazily. “I'm going to freshen up first. I'll be waiting for you in bed.” She winked playfully before heading

upstairs.

Once Phoebe was out of earshot, Holden couldn't hold back his amazement. He quickly sat down next to Elysia.

“Elysia, Phoebe is something else. She pulled out a solid metal ball, aimed perfectly, and took down a guy with

one shot to the leg!

Don't let her size fool you-she’s incredibly strong. She could easily overpower a grown man, maybe even more!

You weren't there, so you didn’t see how intense it was. The guy even pulled out a knife, but before any of us

could react, she had already taken him down!”

Holden animatedly recounted the events, but Elysia just smiled without saying much. She and Phoebe had grown

up together, and both of them had undergone special training. Dealing with an ordinary thug was nothing for

Phoebe.

However, Holden misinterpreted Elysia’s silence. ‘She doesn’t believe me, does she?’ he thought, quickly adding,

“Elysia, I'm not exaggerating. Everything | said is true, not a single word is made up.”

Before Elysia could respond, Fabian cut in. “Elysia’s friend doesn’t need you to explain her abilities.”

Feeling the sting of Fabian’s dismissive tone, Holden pouted, about to argue back when Yehoshua placed a hand

on his shoulder. “Relax. Elysia isn’t doubting you. She knows Phoebe’s skills better than you do,” Yehoshua said

casually, his tone calm and reassuring.
