Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 231

Realizing that Damon had dashed ahead, Phoebe felt a surge of determination. She had promised to be the first to find Elysia, and she couldn’t let Damon steal that moment away from her.

She thought. How could he even dare to embrace Elysia? That kind of audacity was simply unacceptable!

“Damon, slow down. You’re going to make Elysia dizzy” Phoebe called out, concern lacing her voice.

No sooner had Phoebe’s words left her lips than Damon felt a sharp blow to the back of his head. He reluctantly set Elysia down. As he was about to express his frustration, he was met with Leo’s stern face.

In an instant, he mumbled, “Leo.”

Leo said, his tone firm, “What if you drop her and cause her to get hurt?”

Damon replied, “Leo, I am sorry for my carelessness. If I drop her and it causes others not to want to marry her, I would marry her.”

Before anyone could react, he was struck by Leo again, this time more forcefully, Leo said, “How dare you curse her?”

“Forget what I said; Elysia is so beautiful; her suitors are everywhere on this planet.”

“That sounds better,” Leo conceded, his expression softening a bit.

With Leo’s mood lifting, Damon let out a breath of relief. He turned toward Elysia with a sheepish grin. “Did you bring me at gift when you came back?”

Phoebe shot him an irritated glance. “Damon, have you lost your manners? Elysia has just returned, and you’re already asking for gifts?”

Damon scratched the back of his head and tentatively asked, “Can I ask for one later?”

Elysia found his antics funny; she knew he was hoping for a few pills she had created. Feeling generous today, she didn’t mind giving him a couple.

With a gentle touch, she placed her hand on his shoulder. “I will give you two pills. How does that sound?”

“Is that really true?” he asked, his eyes widening in excitement.
