Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 275

Elena stared blankly, her face emotionless, but Elysia could wil the was anything her calen. Mr. Shafton’s glance

has really

shaken her she wondered

Elysia knew Elena might finally have answers to questions that had long puzzled her. Fiya wouldn't peth her to

make a decision, though. She'd just keep supporting her, no matter what

Elysis took Elena’s hand, their fingers lacing together. She leaned on Elena’s shoulder and wrapped an arm

around her. Everyone thought Elena was cold and distant, but Elysia knew better. Elena always thought of

others, even when she was hurting.

Elysia thought, ‘One has to see people with their heart, not just with their eyes. Her so-called coldness is just a

shield. Inside, she is gentle

Seeing Elysia and Elena hugging. Ava pouted, “I want in on that.” She lay down and wrapped her arms around

Elysia from behind. The three of them cuddled up and fell into a deep sleep. That night, they slept soundly and

peacefully.

The next morning, the three didn’t wake up until the sun was high in the sky. Elena rubbed her sleepy eyes and

felt a little embarrassed. It was her first tstaying over at someone else’s place, and she'd overslept.

Elysia hugged her from behind, her voice still a little lazy. Just relax. Don’t stress about it.”

“Do you know what I'm thinking? Elena asked, curious.

Elysia stretched. “Your thoughts can’t hide from me. She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked to the

bathroom.

Elysia’d actually woken up earlier but then seen how peaceful the other two had looked. She had decided not to

awaken them, so she’d gone back to bed.

After changing into new dresses, the three of them cdownstairs, only to find the living room full of people.

Elena's cheeks were rosy, and just when she’d started to calm down, she felt uneasy again.

Elysia seemed to sense it and took her hand. The touch calmed Elena’s jittery mind and brought her some

peace.

Ava was walking on Elysia’s left and didn’t realize what was happening until she felt someone take her hand. She

looked down to see Elysia’s fingers intertwined with hers and smiled instantly.

‘Elysia’s holding my hand. I'm so happy, she thought.

Olive was sitting on the opposite of the staircase, and she was the first to see them. She couldn't help but think

back to her own youth when she saw them coming downstairs hand in hand.

She had had two best friends and they had often done the sthing, but those two had passed away over the

years. Remembering those days brought a smile to her face. She thought how great it would be if they were still

around.

In the living room, everyone turned to look at Elysia and her friends. Elysia gave a soft smile and said in a cute

and sweet tone, “Sorry we're late.”

Edward, who usually had a serious face, actually smiled a little. “It's not late. We woke up early.”

“You must have been exhausted yesterday, right?” Quinita asked gently.

Elysia shook her head. “Mommy, | was not tired.”

Holden jumped into the conversation. “Elysia, chere. I've got a gift for you.”

Chapter 275

Before Elysia could move, Javier chimed in, “Ctofirst. | know you'll love my gift”

Holden felt a little upset. Javier was clearly trying to one-up him, but before he could argue, Fabian spoke up.

“Elysia, ctofirst. I've got a gift, too.”

Holden glanced at Fabian and pouted, thinking, ‘Why is Fabian joining in, too?

Last night, when Holden mentioned giving Elysia a gift, no one said anything. It turned out they'd all been

secretly planning. Luckily, Holden had kept one trick up his sleeve and hadn't told them what he was giving her.

Olive watched as Holden and the others bickered over the gifts and grinned. “Alright, since everyone's got a gift,

let's take turns. No rush,” she said, putting an end to the arguing.

Elena and Ava watched enviously as everyone competed to give Elysia gifts. Having brothers could be pretty

great sometimes.

Ava especially wished she had brothers like those guys to spoil her, but she knew it wasn’t gonna happen in her

lifetime. Even if her mom had more kids, they'd probably be younger siblings, not older ones to dote on her.

And if she ended up with younger siblings, she'd be the one giving gifts. Ava shook her head. She didn’t want

any younger brothers or sisters.

Elysia had moved to Fabian’s side and received a car key from him. “This is the key to the Aston Martin in the

garage. yours now,” he said.

It's

Holden was stunned. That sports car, which he usually wasn’t even allowed to touch, was just handed over by

Fabian. He thought, ‘What am | gonna give her now? Suddenly, my gift feels pretty lame.”

“Thanks, Fabian,” Elysia said, pocketing the key.

She walked over to Javier, who handed her a USB drive. “This has info on Cyanoxylon. | did sresearch on it

before, and | heard from Mr. Jack Lewis that you're studying this herb’s toxin. This info might be useful.”

Holden was surprised again. Javier's gift was perfect. Compared to that, his own gift seemed pretty

unimpressive, except for Yehoshua, who hadn't reacted yet.

But then he thought, ‘Wait, Yehoshua has already given his gift earlier. The medal he earned at the training camp

is a symbol of the highest honor.”

“Thanks, Javier,” Elysia said, taking his gift. She walked over to Holden, but he seemed lost in thought and didn’t

even notice her standing in front of him.

“Holden,” Elysia called, snapping him back to reality. He looked at her and, after a moment of hesitation, pulled

out a gift from behind his back. “Elysia, this is from me. | hope you like it.”

Elysia took the box and slowly opened it, revealing a silver mask inside. She remembered it from the

performance she and Holden had done together.

“Ely
