Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 381

Seeing that Lindsey was about to walk to the door and teach the girl a lesson, Elysia stopped her immediately.

After all, Lindsey was the CEO of the company. It seems not so good that she went to argue with her employee.

“Forget it, Lindsey. She didn’t givea hard time, Besides, | fought back myself. If you go and argue with her for

me, it looks like | asked you to bully her.”

Lindsey looked at her seriously. “Are you sure?”

“I'm sure.”

Hearing this, Lindsey finally let it go. “Alright. I'll tell them later. Whenever you come, you can cin directly.

No appointment necessary.”

Elysia’s eyes flickered slightly. She thought, | chere to see Lindsey for the cufflink. | wouldn't bother her at

other times

But hearing what Lindsey said, she nodded and replied, “Thank you, Lindsey

She knew well that Lindsey was worried that she might be bullied. Lindsey would feel sad if she refused to

accept her kindness.

“Elysia, why did you cto seetoday?”

As Evelyn started to speak, Elysia’s expression changed and her face becserious.

She had already prepared herself mentally before and had anticipated all the possible consequences, so she did

not hesitate to take out the cufflink from her pocket, handed it to Lindsey, and slowly said, “Do you recognize

it?”

Lindsey stared at the cufflink for a moment, but she still had no idea about it. Meeting Elysia’s serious and

somewhat stem eyes, her heart sank slightly.

Lindsey thought, ‘Since Elysia ctowith this cufflink, it must have something to do with me. I'm sure it’s

not mine. So if... | must know the one who owned the cufflink

Taking a closer look, Evelyn found another clue: this should be a man’s cufflink.

Her face changed slightly. She wondered, ‘Could it be my father’s? This is the only person I can think of

She had rarely seen Jim Evans since she was a child, and after she went abroad, they had not seen each other

for many years.

As for the cufflink, she was not sure whether Jim had one. But she remembered clearly when she was eleven

years old, when Ashley married Jim, Jim wore a suit that day, and the cufflink he wore seemed to be similar to

this one.

“Do you think of something?” Elysia asked.

Hearing Elysia’s voice, Lindsey cto her senses and nodded. “I'm not sure if it's correct based on my

fragmented memories.”

“Tellabout it.”

“It’s... my father’s?”

Elysia’s eyes darkened, and she nodded. “You're right. It's his.”

“But why did you have his cufflink?” Lindsey asked with confusion.

Elysia explained, “To be precise, it was found in Evelyn's drawer.”

She shared everything with Lindsey because she had already let down her guard the moment she chose to come

to her.

She trust Lindsey, so she cto her. She wanted to find the truth with her help. After all, it was not easy to

investigate this matter by Elysia herself, and Lindsey had lived in the Evans residence since she was a child and

was close to Jim. Moreover, Lindsey had always been grateful to Evelyn, so she was the best choice.

Lindsey's face darkened. “You said this cufflink was found in Evelyn's drawer?”

“That's right,” Elysia looked up at her. “Lindsey, tell me, why would Jim's cufflink be found in Evelyn's drawer?”

Elysia’s question completely stumped Lindsey. Her hand tightening around the cufflink, she looked gloomy.

Lindsey thought, ‘I have an answer in mind, but if | could think of it, Elysia would know it too. So she cto me

today because she wanted to know my position instead of the owner of the cufflink

Walking over to the floor-to-ceiling window, Lindsey crossed her arms and looked out at the skyscrapers and the

traffic, and fell into deep thought.

‘If he really had something to do with Evelyn’s death, what should | do? Avenge Evelyn?‘ Lindsey thought.

Her brow furrowed, her mind racing. The pale little face flashed through her mind.

Lindsey sneered inwardly, thinking, ‘Father? My father has never cared aboutin the past twenty years. It was

Evelyn who was nice to me. If it wasn’t for her, | would have been abused to death by Ashley.

After a while, her cold voice rang out in the office, “Elysia, if my father... No, if Jim had anything to do with

Evelyn's death, | won't let him off.”

Elysia knew she was right about her from her words.

“Lindsey, don’t worry, | won't make things difficult for you. I just want to know how Evelyn died. But I'm

voiceless, and my power is limited. | want you to help me.”

“How?” Lindsey turned to look at her. Elysia put her hands in her pocket and walked towards her. “You've spent

the longest tin the Evans residence and you're closest to Jim. | want you to helpfind sclues. Use the

cufflink as bait.”

“Use the cufflink as bait?” Lindsey was puzzled. “But if we do that, we might alert Jim.”

“No, we wouldn't alert him.” Elysia stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes sharp. “I do this to

draw him out.”

Her voice was cold, giving people a heart-wrenching feeling. Lindsey stared at her blankly, surprised by the

powerful aura emanating from her, and said nothing more.

Elysia continued, “If he was innocent, he had nothing to worry about. You just need to hint at it once or twice,

and | believe Jim will react. I'll take care of the rest.”

She thought that this was the best method after careful consideration.

Elysia thought, ‘If I didn’t take the initiative, the truth would be hidden forever.

‘If Evelyn was coerced by Jim back then, only she and Jim would know about it. Evelyn is gone, and the only one

who knows about the truth is Jim. So | could only make him expose himself. In that case, | could find more clues

related to this matter.’

Lindsey frowned as if she was pondering her words. After a while, she said, “I've thought it over, and yo But you

As she uttered the last sentence, her gaze met Elysia’s. She looked at her in earnest. “Jim is a ruthless man. If he

Elysia was about to respond when Lindsey cut her off. “I know what you're thinking. You're afraid that if | get

“Elysia, Evelyn had gone. Grandma, uncle, aunt, cousins, and I, we can’t lose you again.”
