Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 350

Hearing that, Quinita slapped her forehead. “Oh, no. I’m so forgetful. It’s late. Elysia should be asleep. I can’t wake her up.”

She quickly turned around and got back into bed. Edward watched her with a smile but said nothing.

Meanwhile, Elysia was lying in bed, holding her phone. She was video–calling Phoebe.

“Elysia, you left me again!” Phoebe complained, pouting.

Elysia chuckled, sitting up a little. “What do you mean ‘again? This was an emergency. I didn’t have time to explain. But hey, if you really miss me that much, I’ll come back right now.”

Phoebe lazily waved her hand and said, “Forget it. If you really came back to Royal Bay just for me, your parents would freak out. And don’t even get started on your brothers. They’re not exactly easy to handle.”

“Don’t worry. They’re all super chill,” Elysia said, trying to reassure her.

Phoebe teased, “Elysia, it sounds like you’re trying to set me up with one of your brothers.”

At that, Elysia sat up in bed, her eyes bright. “Well, it’s not impossible. So, which one of my brothers are you into?”

Phoebe’s face turned bright red instantly. She stared at Elysia, shaking her head. “Why would you ask me that? Ugh, forget it. I’m not talking to you anymore.”

With that, Phoebe ended the call.

Elysia wasn’t mad at all. She couldn’t help but smile. If Phoebe married one of her brothers, it’d feel like family again.

She wondered which of her brothers would be the best match for Phoebe.

Fabian was deep and thoughtful. Javier was gentle and classy. Yehoshua was quiet but strong. Holden was relaxed and easygoing.

That thought stuck with Elysia all night, and she didn’t fall asleep until the early hours.
