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.

“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.

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.
