Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 309

Esther sat on the bed in her house in Jorlandia and scrolled through her Twitter feed, feeling furious. Frustrated, she tossed her phone aside. She thought, ‘Elysia and I are both part of the Evans family, but why are we treated differently?

Fuming with frustration, she jumped off the bed, flung open the door, and stormed downstairs.

Ashley and Jim sat on the couch in the living room, their faces dark and stern. When they saw Esther rushing downstairs, Ashley immediately said, “What’s the rush? You always act so reckless,”

Her tone held a hint of reproach, and since Esther was already in a bad mood, hearing this only made her angrier.

Esther said, “Are you criticizing me? No matter how well I behave, it doesn’t make any difference. They’ll always care more about that bumpkin who came from the small town.

“I don’t care what they think, but Grandma never posts on Twitter. She actually posted just to give that bumpkin some credibility by proving her identity.”

Ashley sneered and thought, “There’s nothing you can do. After all, you are the daughter of the second wife of the second son of the Evans family. You always come second.”

Jim, already irritated, became even more agitated after hearing Ashley’s harsh words. “What are you talking about? Don’t say things like that again!”

“Am I wrong?” Ashley shot back. “This is the truth and everyone knows it. Stop lying to yourself.”

Ashley showed no sign of restraint, while Jim, despite his frustration, never said anything harsh. He knew Elysia wasn’t someone to be underestimated, and the fact that so many people posted for her wasn’t solely because of the Evans family.

He couldn’t forget the look Elysia gave him during their last conversation by the gate. Without full confidence, he couldn’t afford to act rashly.

Upstairs, Olive overheard their conversation, and her face darkened drastically.

“Mrs. Evans, should we go downstairs?” the maid, who had been taking care of Olive, asked.

Olive said, “Yes. I want to see how mad this woman really is.”
