Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 48

Ava’s ears were ringing with the growing buzz of voices around her. She shot a glare at Emma and snapped, “Stop talking nonsense!”

Elysia tilted her head and glanced at Ava, confirming what she had suspected this tomboy had a hidden fire inside. She tugged at Ava’s sleeve. “It’s time,” she reassured her.

Then Elysia turned her attention to Emma, her eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint. “Are you sure you want me to start listing all the rusty things you’ve done?”

Emma’s eyes widened in shock. She thought, “What does she mean? Is she threatening me! What have I donet Could she possibly be talking abour the times I had tried to sabotage her? Did she even have any proof!”

Emma’s face twisted with confusion. She didn’t believe Elysia could have any evidence, yet seeing her so certain, Emma felt an uneasy pang of pank rising within her.

Elysia gave her a coll, knowing look. She thought, “Well, she’s scared. Wearing everything on her face and thinking no one could see through her, huh! Does she really think everyone else is as clueless as she is?

Elysta said. “I told you there’s always a trace left behind if you’ve done something. Don’t dig your own grave by hurting others. You’ll only end up runing yourself”

Emma forced a smile and tried to keep her composure as she turned to Elysia: “What are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you’re

saying

Elysia raised an eyebrow. “You’re planning to enter the entertainment industry, right? With acting like this, I’d say you could at least get by as a second–rate celebrity.. maybe a random actress on the bottom rungs of the industry.”

The mockery was clear. Emma’s face darkened in anger, and Mia, standing nearby, felt a surge of frustration. She believed that they were there for her and that Emma didn’t deserve to be treated like this..

While Emma had hesitated earlier and hadn’t chosen to stand with her, Mis could accept that she had her reasons, and they were understandable. Besides, any disagreement between friends should be dealt with later. Now was the time to unite against Elysia.

“Seriously. Elysia, are you really going this far? Mis pointed at Elysia, her voice rising in anger.

Natalie, standing next to Mia, didn’t hold back either. “I can’t believe it. Emma was just trying to help you out, and you’re so rude to her. You’re an ungrateful brat

“Exactly! Elysia went way too far with those words by calling Emma a bottom–tier actress. She’s despising her!”
