Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 329

Elysia was taken aback by Alice’s suggestion.

She glanced at Zane, whose eyes were practically glowing, then at Alice, who was brimming with anticipation.

‘Are they telepathic?‘ Elysia wondered. Not only did they share the same extravagant tendencies, but even the hopeful expressions in their eyes were eerily similar.

“Alright, but once you decide, you have to move to Royal Bay, okay? Pinky promise!” Alice lifted her right hand, curling four fingers into a loose fist while her pinky extended slightly.

Seeing how serious Alice was, Elysia extended her own pinky, linking it with Alice’s. “It’s a promise then. If you don’t keep it, then Zane will turn into a puppy,” added Alice.

Zane tousled Alice’s hair before stepping out of the car. Alice, unwilling to part, widened her round eyes. “Bye, Elysia!”

“Goodbye, Alice,” Elysia replied.

She stood at the entrance of Arcanum House, watching their car drive off into the distance before finally turning around.

Just as she reached for the wooden door, a vaguely familiar voice called out from behind her. “Elysia!”

Her hand froze on the door handle. In her peripheral vision, she spotted a girl standing at the bottom of the steps.

The girl was wrapped up tightly in a loose tracksuit, a baseball cap pulled low over her face, and a mask covering the lower half. Her hands were stuffed into her pockets, making her entire figure look round and bundled.

Elysia arched an eyebrow, slowly turning to get a better look at her. She carefully searched her memory, trying to place the person in front of her.
