Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 194

Zane wondered, ‘If Elysia is from the Evans family, why hasn’t there ever been any news about a missing kid all these years? Who brought Elysia to Sivro and abandoned her in the mountains? She was just a baby–who would do that to an infant?‘

Zane’s fists clenched in anger. He thought, ‘Once I find that person, I’ll make sure he pays dearly for what he did.

He thought, ‘I won’t let anyone who hurt Elysia off the hook, not the Rosewood family, not even the Evans family. If they dare to upset her, I will stand against them.

He glanced at Elysia, his eyes softening. “Elysia, do whatever you want. I’ve got your back.”

Elysia smiled and thought, ‘Where does Zane get the idea that I need someone to protect me? Do I seem that weak? But the feeling of being protected Is kind of nice. So she happily agreed, “Thanks, Zane.”

Zane knew full well that with Elysia’s abilities, she didn’t need his help. Just being the owner of Arcanum House was enough to have people falling all over themselves to please her.

If she wanted something, all she had to do was lift a finger, and it would be done. But Zane just couldn’t bear the thought of her getting her hands dirty, not even a little bit. He’d deal with the Rosewood family himself.

Elysia hadn’t told him everything about Arcanum House, but he could guess. The way she went there with her friends, and the respect she got from the staff–it was clear she was the owner of Arcanum House.

Although Zane was surprised, but also felt reasonable because Elysia does have such an ability. He wondered what people would think if they found out that the

he owner of Arcanum House was a young girl.

Holden had been standing nearby, watching the two of them. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but he could tell Elysia was in a good mood. Seeing her smile and laugh, but not at him, made his heart ache.

He felt anxious and was sure Zane would be with Elysia one day. Holden knew he couldn’t handle this alone. He needed to

Holden was momentarily speechless, but quickly explained, “I wanted to, but Elysia was there. I didn’t want to make a bad impression in front of Elysia. Besides, I figured I’d better call you guys and let you know
