Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 22

At the Rosewood residence, Emma was sobbing teribblely in Ben’s arms. “Mom. I was just trying to be nice by taking Elysia out for afternoon tea today, but she put Selena’s necklace in my bag and now everyone thinks Em a thief How can I show my face again?”

Bella gently patted her back, feeling heartbroken “Don’t cry, sweetie. When Elysta comes back. I’ll make sure she gets what’s coming to her. This behavior is completely unacceptable”

Scott looked unhappy too. He’d had high hopes for Elysia, but now he wondered if growing up in the countryside had messed her up too much. If her intentions were really bad, she could bring shame to the Rosewood family.

Then, he thought. What good is it for a country kid to be good–looking Can she marry into a wealthy family or get close to some powerful elite?

Thinking it over, Scott realized that while Emma’s looks couldn’t quite match Elysta’s, she wasn’t bad either. Plus, she’d been. raised in the Rosewood family. In terms of upbringing and skills, Elysia just didn’t compare

He weighed the value of his two daughters in his mind and finally said, “Emma, don’t worry. If she actually did this. I will make sure she’s punished severely”

Emma nodded, crying even harder. This was exactly what she wanted–everyone hating Elysia. That would secure Emina’s status in the Rosewood family. Ideally, if Elysia were expelled, there would only be Emma left.

When Elysia got home, she found Scott sitting on the couch, looking furious, while Emma leaned against Bella, her eyes red and pitiful.

By now, Elysia was numb to these nothing shocking anymore.

“Elysia, why did you put Selena’s necklace in Emma’s bag today? Scott questioned, his voice dripping with anger.

Elysia frowned. “The wrongdoer accused me first?

Bella chimed in, “Did you pick up bad habits in the countryside? Why are you framing Emma?”

They haven’t even heard her side yet and are already blaming me. They are a perfect match for each other. Elysia looked between the couple, baffled. Shaking her head, she walked over and plopped down on the couch.
