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.

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!”
