Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 41

The Rosewood residence was filled with tension. Emma was sprawled in Bella’s embrace, sobbing uncontrollably. Ever since she learned about Elysia’s grades that morning, all her hopeful fantasies had shattered.

She had never imagined Elysia could score so well! Growing up, Emma had always been determined. Being adopted made her work even harder to prove herself.

But despite all her effort, she could only place in the top fifty of her grade, while Elysia? She had managed to snag the top spot! Why was that fair?

What right did this country bumpkin have to sit on the throne of the top student? How dare she pull Justin down from his pedestal? It was infuriating!

When Elysia returned home and caught sight of the scene, she couldn’t help but think: Emma’s tears really are worthless! Crying all the time–it’s unbearable!

She chose to ignore the two on the couch, ready to head upstairs and retreat to her room.

But just as she took a step forward, Bella called out, “Where do you think you’re going? I need to talk to you!”

Reluctantly, Elysia stepped back, eyeing Bella with a brow raised. “What’s up?”

“What kind of attitude is that?” Bella asked, a hint of frustration creeping into her voice.

Elysia didn’t respond. Instead, she sauntered over to the sofa and casually propped her legs up.

Bella was about to explode with anger when Emma, still sniffling, tugged at her arm. “Let it go, Mom. My sister is just like that. Don’t take it personally.”

At Emma’s words, Bella softened her grip and smiled gently. “Emma, you’re so understanding.”

Elysia rolled her eyes inwardly. Did they really need to put on such a melodramatic show in front of her?

Emma’s expression brightened at Bella’s compliment. “I’m the big sister; it’s only natural.”

Bella nodded approvingly, her eyes glowing with affection for Emma. This was her sweet girl–always kind and considerate, unlike Elysia, who was nothing but a source of frustration!

Turning to Elysia, Bella’s gentleness faded. “I want to know how you ended up at the top of the rankings.”

Upon hearing Bella’s question, Elysia realized what was happening. It was no surprise that Emma was at it again, stirring the pot.

With an amused smirk, she looked at them. “So what if I got first place? Are you gonna throw me a party or something?”

Bella pressed on, “Then, how did you manage to get first place?”
