Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 217

Logan stood by, unsure of what to do. Bella had only told him to protect Emma’s honor. She hadn’t prepared him for this ‘As long as Emma isn’t raped, a little lesson wouldn’t hurt her he thought.

Just as he was pondering this. Thorne suddenly shoved Robert aside and lunged for Emma.

But as soon as his hand touched her, Robert charged back. In a flash of anger, Thorne grabbed a knife from somewhere and stabbed Robert, Blood trickled down the handle, turning the white shirt red. Robert clutched his stomach, collapsing to the ground.

Thorne’s face turned pale with shock, and so did everyone else’s. No one could believe he’d actually hurt Robert

Melissa rushed over, her face pale with fear. She wrapped an arm around Thorne and took the knife from his trembling hand. “Thorne, are you okay?” she asked, her voice shaking.

“I killed him. 1-1 did this,” Thorne muttered, his face drained of color.

“Don’t worry; as long as he’s still breathing, we’ll be fine, Melissa said, glancing at Robert on the floor. Cold sweat was beading on his forehead, and the blood pooling around him was growing larger by the second.

Everyone stood frozen, rooted to the spot. Emma had retreated to the corner, her eyes wide with terror, and her body trembling uncontrollably.

Dennis, who had also been taken aback by Thorne’s impulsiveness, quickly snapped out of it. “What are you all standing around for? Call an ambulance!” he barked.

Melissa fumbled with her phone, finally dialing 911. After giving the address, she tried to press her hand against Robert’s wound to stop the bleeding, but she was so panicked she didn’t know where to place it.

“You… just hang in there. The ambulance is on its way,” she stammered, her voice barely steady. Despite her age, she had never faced anything like this before, and fear was only natural.

Elysia, on the other hand, watched the chaos unfold with a cold, unyielding expression. What a bunch of heartless hypocrites,’ she thought to herself.

She walked over to Robert, crouched down beside him, and sneered, “Now do you know what happens when you meddle in things that don’t concern you?”

Her words hung in the air, and no one dared to speak. They just stared at her, waiting to see what she would do next.

Yuna, who knew exactly what Elysia was thinking, stepped in. “Everyone, let’s step outside and give them some space,” she said firmly.

Melissa opened her mouth to protest, but Dennis gave her a warning look. She quickly shut her mouth and helped Thorne out of the room.

Emma was still huddled in the corner, too terrified to move. Yuna walked over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to her feet,
