Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 208

Elysia looked at Logan with amusement and teased, “Were you really that scared?”

Logan said, “Of course I was! I was so worried I’d say something wrong by accident. I can’t even imagine getting my head bashed in!”

Hearing this, Elysia patted his shoulder to comfort him. “Don’t worry. They are really nice. They won’t just smash your head for something small.”

“Elysia, you really have to protect me.”

“You’re my cousin. I wouldn’t let you get hurt. Relax, they aren’t as scary as you think,” she said.

Then, as if she remembered something, she asked, “By the way, why did you suddenly come to Sivro?”

Logan answered, not sounding too happy, “I’m worried about you. I had to see with my own eyes that you’re okay to really feel at ease. Plus, my mom is really worried about you too. I’m here because she told me to come.”

The smile on Elysia’s face slowly faded, and her gaze softened a bit. “How’s your mother?”

“As long as you’re okay, she’s okay. Sometimes I think you’re more like her real daughter than I am, with how differently she

treats us.”

“Are you jealous?”

“No.”

“So what you said earlier wasn’t because you were jealous?”

“I told you, there’s nothing to it.” Logan turned his head away, while Elysia looked at him, amused. It was obvious he was jealous, but he just wouldn’t admit it.

Scott had just gotten a notice that the government was taking the land in the northern part of the city.

Before he could even think things through, he got a call from the finance department saying the IRS was coming to the company for an audit.

Scott tried to stay calm. After giving a few quick orders to the finance team, he rushed to the company, only to find the IRS agents had already left.

Scott thought it was too convenient–from the government taking the land to the IRS audit. It didn’t seem like a coincidence; it felt like it was
