Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 301

Hearing that, Elysia froze for a moment. She thought, ‘Really? Can | blow up the school if I'm upset? Well, it’s not

bad to have a brother protect me.

She smiled and said, “Got it.”

Fabian, who usually had a stern face, showed a soft smile. He affectionately rubbed her head before turning to

leave the school.

A business car was parked outside. Elysia watched as Fabian got in before she turned around and headed toward

the teaching building.

Fabian watched her fade into the distance, saying, “Go check if something happened to Elysia at school.”

Joel raised an eyebrow at his words. Following Fabian’s gaze, he felt a bit confused. He thought, ‘Why go through

all these extra steps to find out? He could ask Ms. Evans directly.”

Anyway, when the boss gave an order, it wasn't his place to question. Joel just had to follow through. “Yes, Mr.

Evans.”

Once Elysia went out of his sight, Joel got out of the car. He walked into the school, heading straight toward the

teaching building. As he neared the area with the most students, he heard sweird conversations.

Their voices were a bit loud, and Joel overheard them just as he got closer. He quickly approached and said,

“Hey, you guys seem to be really into it. Do you mind sharing the gossip with me?”

They looked at Joel with suspicion. “What do you want?”

“Relax. I'm just curious. What are you all talking about?” Joel replied, trying to appear casual.

One of the b

raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Why is a man at your age still into gossip?”

Joel was taken aback. He thought, ‘What? I'm only 24, just two years out of school. I'm close enough in age to

you. Why am | already being treated like an old man? By the way, Mr. Evans is much older than me, okay?’

Despite the complete it.

mments about his age, Joel remained professional. After all, Fabian had assigned him a task, and he had to

He said with a smile, “Men always like gossip no matter how old he is. I'm just curious about this person you're

talking about. Yes, Elysia, is she one of your classmates?”

Seeing the students stay silent, he added, “You don’t need to worry. I'm not going to spread it around.”

One of them said, “It doesn’t matter. After all, it has nothing to do with us.”

“Fine, I'll tell you,” A girl said. One of the boys shot her a warning look, but she didn’t seem to care. “What's the

big deal? If Elysia has the guts to do it, she shouldn't mind if people talk.”

The girl continued, “There's this girl at our school, Elysia, a transfer student in Grade 12. Word is, she’s being

kept by

someone.”

“Wait, what?” Joel looked shocked as if he had just heard a bombshell.

“Yeah, a mistress.” The girl nodded and said, “Elysia is pretty, but we never expected her to do that.” She pulled

out her phone and handed it to Joel. “Look, it's all over the forum. They're saying she’s someone’s kept woman.”

Just as the girl finished speaking, a new post appeared on the forum, and everyone's eyes went wide. “Whoa,

check this out. This is insane!”

Fabian had been waiting in the car. When he saw Joel cback with a dark expression, he frowned dighly. How

did in go?”

“Mr. Evans, you can see for yourself,” Joel replied, still wearing a scowl as he handed Fabian the phone.

Fabian wasn’t angry. He took the phone from Joel, but as soon as he saw the photo, his face darkened War's

Joel replied, “Someone is spreading rumors about Ms. Evans. It's been all over the campus now. This isn’t the

Fabian’s fingers moved slightly, his eyebrows knitting tighter. As he stared at the photo, his face grew darker. He

handed the phone back to Joel and said seriously, “Find out who posted this.”

“Yes, Mr. Evans.” Joel quickly pulled out his laptop and began typing quickly on the keyboard.

Fabian continued to glare at the man in the photo, frowning even deeper. He thought, Zane, don’t think just

He swiped his finger across the screen and sent the photo to Zane.

Meanwhile, Zane was sitting in his office in the Nexus Tower when his phone lit up. Seeing Fabian’s name, he

raised an eyebrow, surprised. He clicked on the message, and as soon as he saw the photo, he frowned.

[What's going on?]

[Ask yourself. If my sister's reputation gets hurt, you know what the consequences will be.]

Zane's face darkened with anger. He thought, ‘Who had the nerve to go after my girl?” He stood up and grabbed

his jacket. In

a few quick steps, he reached the door, threw it open, and stormed out of his office.

Barry, noticing the sharp aura radiating from Zane, quickly stood. “Mr. Hartley, where are you going?”

“I'm looking for someone,” he said.

“Who?” Barry scratched the back of his head, confused. Seeing that Zane didn’t even spare him a glance, he

immediately followed, not daring to waste any more time.

Once they were outside the building, Zane slid into the driver's seat of his car. Barry finally caught up and leaned

against the window. “Letdrive, Mr. Hartley.”

Barry was filled with confusion but, seeing how furious Zane was, he didn’t dare say another word. He rushed to
