Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 258

Ryan’s words seemed to strike a chord deep within Quinita. She raised her gaze to Ryan, lying on the ground, her eyes brimming with a chilling anger.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she abruptly stood up and swiftly moved to confront Ryan. She clutched his collar tightly and delivered a forceful slap across his face, followed by another, and then another.

Silent tears streamed down her cheeks, conveying her sorrow and reluctance concerning her daughter, Elysia. Quinita harbored a deep hatred for Ryan standing before her, blaming him for the separation that had kept Elysia and her apart for eighteen years.

The Evans family members stood by, observing the scene without any intention of interfering. It was unclear how long the assault lasted before Quinita, finally worn out, ceased her actions. Ryan was left bruised and battered.

Once Bobby was taken away and secured, Olive arrived hastily. Her face lit up with delight upon seeing the elderly individuals in the living room. “You must be Jack, correct?” she exclaimed with enthusiasm.

“I’m certainly not as spry as I once was,” Jack responded. “Mrs. Evans, you brought us here for more than just reminiscing. didn’t you?”

Hearing this, Olive smiled warmly and said, “Indeed, there’s more to our meeting today than mere reminiscing.”

After a brief pause, she continued, “Firstly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. Elysia’s encounter with you all is not just a stroke of luck for her but also a tremendous blessing for the Evans family. We will forever be indebted to you for your kindness.

“Secondly, now that Elysia has returned to the Evans family, we would like to discuss the possibility of changing her name to more seamlessly integrate her into the family.”

Jack stroked his chin thoughtfully, while Le

Having spent the past few days with the Evans family, they found them to be honest, kind, and deeply appreciative. Having such a family was indeed a blessing for Elysia, their long–awaited hope finally fulfilled.
