Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 235

Fabian reached out to take the wooden bucket from Elysia’s hands. Javier, noticing this, lifted the spear from her shoulder. With one hand tucked into his pocket and the other holding the spear, he moved with a casual confidence.

What had once been in Elysia’s grasp was now easily transferred to them, leaving her momentarily in a daze. She quickly regained her composure, saying, “This is my childhood friend, Phoebe.”

The group nodded in acknowledgment. Jack, however, remained in the shadows, watching everything with keen interest. It was clear that the members of the Evans family were very different from the chaotic Rosewood family; they genuinely cared for Elysia.

If Elysia decided to return to the Evans family, they would definitely treat her well. Yet whether Elysia would choose to return was not for Jack to decide.

Jack furrowed his brow, ready to speak, but was interrupted by Leo’s appearance. Leo asked, “Max, what are you looking for?”

Max said, “Isn’t it obvious? I’m looking for our guests.”

“The Evans family?” Leo’s brow furrowed in concern. “How did they find this place? I need to confront them; I can’t let them take Elysia away.”

he started to head for the door but paused after taking a few steps and turned to Max, waving him over.
