Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 134

Upon hearing Odalyn’s words, Elysia was taken aback. Bella only lost her after going to Jorlandia.

Scott had only given her a brief explanation, stating that she had been taken away and later abandoned in the village. It seemed Scott had kept the full truth from her.

Elysia turned to Odalyn and asked, “Odalyn, what do you mean by that?”

Berenger cleared his throat and shot a warning glance at Odalyn. “Why are you telling her this?”

Odalyn replied with annoyance, “It’s not a secret, so why shouldn’t I talk about it? I want to share.” Ignoring Berenger’s expression, she wrapped her arm around Elysia and said gently, “Elysia, come with me inside. I’ll explain everything slowly.”

Elysia nodded and followed Odalyn into the living room. Logan, eager to find out the secrets, hurried after them. As he passed by Berenger, he patted his dad’s shoulder with a serious face. “Dad, good luck. I can’t help you this time.

“Didn’t you just get Mom angry? How could you dare to argue back? Isn’t that a challenge to her authority?”

The group settled onto the sofa in the living room. Odalyn took Elysia’s hand and began to recount those past events. “Years ago, Bella was pregnant with you. Just days before her due date, she traveled with Scott to Jorlandia. They said they had arranged to give birth at a local hospital.

“On the night you were born, Berenger and I hurried to catch a flight to Jorlandia. Sadly, the flight was delayed, and when we finally arrived-”

Odalyn paused, considering whether to share the rest. She met Elysia’s gaze and, after a long pause, continued, “When we got there, Scott told us that Bella had given birth to a stillborn.”

At the mention of “stillborn“, Elysia’s brow furrowed deeply. Odalyn continued, “To spare Bella further pain, Scott had already taken care of the child. By the time we arrived, we never even saw the baby.”

Elysia asked, “Odalyn, if it was stillborn, then how do I exist?”
