Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 315

In the afternoon, as Elysia left Milton School, she did not see Fabian’s business car, but instead, she spotted Zane in the crowd.

Zane was standing in front of his Maybach, dressed in a sharp black suit, the most striking figure among the crowd, his presence radiated confidence.

Zane seemed to have noticed her. A faint smile appeared on his otherwise impassive face. “Here, Elysia,” he called out.

Elysia, hearing him, stepped forward, walking toward him. “Zane, are you here to pick up Alice?”

“No, I’m here to pick you up,” Zane replied.

Elysia’s words trailed off, her confusion evident. “But Fabian-” she began, the implication clear in her voice.

Zane, however, was certain. “He won’t be coming today.”

Elysia raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled. ‘How does Zane know Fabian won’t come pick me up? she thought to herself.

“Fabian has a business meeting. I don’t think he’ll make it. Besides, aren’t you going to see Grandpa? I’ll take you there.” Zane said smoothly.

“To see Mr. Hartley?” Elysia asked, her curiosity growing.

Zane nodded. “Yes.”

Elysia’s brow furrowed slightly as she looked at Zane, a glint of intrigue in her eyes. She suddenly felt that Fabian’s absence might be linked to Zane in some way.

“What are you thinking?” Zane asked, sensing her gaze.

“Oh well-” Elysia took a step closer, her lips curling into a sly smile. “Zane, you did it, right?”

Though it was a question, her tone carried an undeniable certainty.

At her words, Zane’s face betrayed a brief flicker of discomfort. He cleared his throat and replied, “Do you really think I’m that crafty?”

Barry, who had been standing nearby, was completely stunned. This was the first time he had seen Zane show such a reaction. ‘Ms. Evans really is sharp. Mr. Hartley used that trick to draw Fabian away, and she figured it out so easily?” he thought, impressed.

Sensing Zane’s sinister gaze, Barry quickly suppressed his amusement, raising a hand in innocence.

Elysia, watching the interaction between the two, smiled even more, now almost certain that Zane had something to do with Fabian’s absence.
