Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 326

Grace froze for a moment, immediately realizing that Bianca intended to use her hands to teach Elyúa a lesson.

Bianca was clever, she had cleaned her hands of any direct involvement.

If things went wrong. Bianca could always deny any blame, and Grace would be the scapegoat

The coldness in Grace’s eyes deepened as she stared at Bianca. “You can leave now. I don’t agree?

It seemed Bianca had already anticipated this answer, for there was no surprise on her face. Her tone remained calm. ‘Don’t worry. I won’t let you work for free. How about 150 thousand dollars? Once the job is done, you can leave this place?

Bianca straightened her posture and glanced around the small restaurant. “I know your situation. You have greedy parents. You might as well take the money and leave this place. Only by getting away from them can you start your own life?

“Grace, I’m helping you, Bianca added, intentionally emphasizing the last word

Grace’s eyes brightened, realizing that taking the money and leaving might be a good idea. Once she taught Elysia a lesson, she would get the 150 thousand dollars.

After that, she would no longer be tied to this poor area of Sivro. She could have a new life, free from her greedy parents.

“Can I trust you?” Grace asked.

“Of course, Grace. The path is right in front of you. Whether you choose to take it or not, you need to think carefully, Bianca replied.

Grace hesitated, her hands tightening. If she agreed, she might finally break free from this fate.

If she didn’t, her life would remain this way forever.

She scanned the small restaurant and the chaotic surroundings, her resolve growing stronger.

She remembered the harsh words from the overweight woman. One of them was true. Sooner or later, her parents would sell her off to a man, and she would marry and have children.

A voice inside Grace kept urging her, “Agree to it. You must agree to it.”
