Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 4

Scott felt a bit troubled–getting into Milton School wasn’t easy. Not only was there the challenge of Elysia passing the entrance exam, but her starting over in seventh grade might be a bit embarrassing for him.

However, Elysia had that beauty factor going for her, and Milton was full of elite kids. If she made the right connections there, it could definitely benefit the Rosewood family business.

Finally. Scott nodded. “Alright, I’ll take care of this at the school this afternoon.”

Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Dad’s gonna handle Elysia’s enrollment himself? He’s never even shown up for a single parent–teacher meeting for me before. When I joined the school, he wouldn’t use any connections. So why’s he willing to pull strings for Elysia?”

“Thanks, but I’m waiting for someone,” Elysia replied.

As the receptionist was about to say more, another receptionist, who had just ended a phone call, quickly tagged at her art to silence her and said, “Sorry, Ms. Rosewood. She’s new and don’t know better. Ms. Gordon will be here soon.”

Elysia simply nodded and stayed quiet.

On the second floor of the Scented Garden, two guys with totally different vibes were chilling together, sipping coffee. One was Zane Hartley. He was dressed to the nines in a perfectailored suit and had the aura of a super-sophisticated gent. His strong, handsome features and mysterious eyes looked like they were sculpted by an artist–a flawless masterpiece.
