Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 7

Emma scrolled through the comments and saw that most people were siding with Elysia. A few folks tried to support her and her friends, but their comments got drowned out by all the positive feedback for Elysia. Some even faced harsh replies for defending her.

Emma started to get anxious. If Mia hadn’t brought her up in the video, she could’ve just stayed out of it, playing the part of a clueless bystander.

Later, she could’ve said it was all a big misunderstanding, that her friends were just trying to support her. The people online might’ve felt bad for her.

But now that Mia had linked her to the whole thing, it was gonna be a lot harder for her to get out of it.

Bella had watched the video too and was shocked when she heard Natalie say that because of Elysia’s return, she and Scott were neglecting Emma.

Having spent years in elite social circles, she was no stranger to the drama. It didn’t take her long to figure out who had let that info out

The mention of the room hit Bella hard. She felt a pang of guilt part of her wanted to blame Emma, but it was just too difficult.

Emma had always been treated like a princess and had never dealt with anything like this before. Bella always blamed herself for not protecting Emma better in that room situation:

Bella let out a sigh in her mind. ‘Anyway, this is just a little thing The truth doesn’t really matter. I might as well just forget about it.

At the Moore residence in Sivro, Zachary pointed at Natalie and shouted, “How could I have a child like you? With your head, you’d probably thank someone for selling you out!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. It was all that witch Elysia’s fault. If weren’t for her, none of this would’ve happened,” Natalie retorted.
