The Heiress They Lost Came Back Overpowered

’Listen to her! Just listen! Is that something a human being should say?!’

’And what’s with this act of playing innocent?! Your tone and your expression don’t match at all, you know?!’

’Saying the most vicious things in the sweetest voice, right?! UGH!!!’

"What is this trash? She actually dared to curse you?! Don’t even bother sending her over. Just roll her up in a straw mat and bury her."

The person on the other end, sounding like they’d swallowed a firecracker, unleashed a nonstop tirade.

"Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I’ll handle it. I’ll have her sent to you then, ’kay?"

Yvonne Lowell couldn’t stop the corner of her mouth from twitching. ’So much for cultivating her temperament. How is it that after all these years, she still has such a short fuse?’

"Alright, then. Come visit me when you have time! I’m about to die of boredom in this gilded cage!"

"Okay, I’ll come see you another day. I’m hanging up now."

Yvonne Lowell agreed hastily, afraid her sister-in-law would change her mind and come storming over herself the very next second.

Leo Grant raised an eyebrow, intrigued. ’Why does it feel like his girlfriend is a little... intimidated by the Governor’s Wife?’

After hanging up, Yvonne Lowell turned to the goons surrounded by security, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Memorize these faces. Blacklist all their families. And give Iris Chase a heads-up."

"Yes, Boss," the manager replied hurriedly.

’The Boss is really something else. Although I could handle this sort of thing with ease, why does it never feel this satisfying?!’

’It’s true what they say: it takes a villain to handle a villain.’

’No, that’s not right! My boss isn’t a villain at all! My boss is as kind as she is beautiful!!’

The goons stared at her, their faces deathly pale. They wanted to beg for mercy but didn’t dare open their mouths.

Most of them were unfavored children or illegitimate offspring. Although their families weren’t top-tier, their Family Heads still possessed membership cards.

Even if they couldn’t afford to dine here often, that card was a huge status symbol. It was just that they weren’t worthy of using it.

That was why they had been so eager to curry favor with Alisa when she had hinted, both overtly and covertly, that she was the Governor’s Wife’s niece.

They were even the ones who first instigated coming to Prosperity Pavilion today. Who the hell knew she’d turn out to be a damn poser and a fraud.

And now, this girl was saying she would blacklist their entire families. Once you were on Prosperity Pavilion’s blacklist, there was no possibility of ever being removed.

Moreover, the names and membership numbers would be posted on Prosperity Pavilion’s official website. The world was never short of opportunists, and even less short of people who wanted to suck up to Prosperity Pavilion.

And as for the Iris Chase she had mentioned, although they didn’t know who that was, she was clearly a powerful figure.

The trouble they’d caused this time had directly implicated their families. Even if they weren’t killed, they would be skinned alive. The best-case scenario was being abandoned by their families.

Yvonne Lowell gave them an amiable smile, meeting each of their gazes in turn.

"By the way, after today, I shouldn’t be hearing any nasty rumors about the Governor’s Wife outside, should I?"

Leo Grant’s men had already formed a human wall nearby, and the manager of Prosperity Pavilion had perceptively positioned a few waiters outside the wall to greet any customers who might happen to arrive.

However, at this particular time, there were no customers entering or leaving Prosperity Pavilion.

Before she called her sister-in-law, she had used her superpower to block the sound in this area from getting out. So, all she had to do was shut these people’s mouths and stop them from barking nonsense outside.

Her sister-in-law’s explosive temper was famous throughout all of Continent R. Pretty much everyone on the continent respected her—a woman who had gone to war six months pregnant to bring peace back to Continent R. Even so, it was always better to avoid trouble when possible.

’See? I really am a beautiful, kind-hearted little girl!’

’Speaking of which, the reason her self-proclaimed, good-for-nothing older brother had become Governor before he was thirty—and held the position securely for over twenty years—was all thanks to his wife.’

The crowd nodded frantically. "We won’t, we won’t! We didn’t hear anything today."

"Alright, then. You can go." Yvonne Lowell snapped her fingers, then gave them a polite wave.

The security guards opened a path, and the group scrambled away, not even sparing Alisa a single glance.

Leo Grant squeezed Yvonne Lowell’s palm, his eyes asking a silent question: ’Can their words be trusted?’

Yvonne Lowell gave an imperceptible nod. ’When I handle things, you can be sure they’re handled, okay?!’

’Besides, she used only her own people at Prosperity Pavilion, which saved her the trouble of using her spiritual power.’

Leo Grant understood at once. ’So, this little rascal secretly used her Spiritual Ability.’

Yvonne Lowell lowered her gaze to Alisa, who was slumped on the floor, her face ashen. It was unclear whether it was from fear or pain.

She raised an eyebrow with amusement. "Is the floor of our establishment so comfortable that you don’t want to get up?"

Alisa had long since lost her earlier arrogant demeanor. She begged repeatedly, "I’m sorry! I was blind and failed to recognize your importance! Please forgive me!"

"How could I do that? I promised your ’aunt’ that I would cripple one of your hands and one of your feet before sending you to her."

Yvonne Lowell made sure to emphasize the word "aunt."

’She had just wanted to go out for a meal, but this clueless fool had to stick her face out to be slapped.’

’Trying to seduce her man was one thing, but then she had to go and run her filthy mouth.’

’Cursing at her was bad enough, but using her sister-in-law’s name to act all high and mighty? And from the looks of it, she was a habitual offender. Who knew how much damage had been done to her sister-in-law’s reputation.’

’Could she tolerate this? Sorry, not even a little bit!’

"The Governor’s Wife isn’t my aunt! I was just making it up! I’ve only met her once! It was my vanity! Please, I’m begging you, forgive me! I’ll never do it again! My mother only has me, and if you cripple my hand and foot, my life will be completely ruined!!"

Alisa kept her eyes downcast, not daring to look up, afraid that people would see the hatred in her eyes as she continued to play the victim.

’Why?! She was the one who was actually the Governor’s Wife’s niece! So what if they were distant relatives? Blood is thicker than water! Why was she the one being treated like a stray dog?!’

’Why was this bitch’s life so good! Being rich and beautiful was one thing, but she was also the Governor’s sister?!’

The moment she thought of this, Alisa felt an overwhelming urge to tear Yvonne Lowell’s face to shreds!

’But not now. First, she had to get Yvonne Lowell’s forgiveness. She could plan the rest later. She would definitely make that bitch suffer consequences she couldn’t handle!’

"Your life being ruined? What does that have to do with me?"

Yvonne Lowell wasn’t blind. The venomous, resentful aura coming from the person before her was practically overflowing.

’Her mouth was begging for mercy, but in her heart, she’s probably already imagined eight hundred ways to kill me, right?’

Some people live for too long in the comfortable environment that others paid for with their lives, forgetting that Continent R was a ruthless place that devoured people whole. They were brainless and loved to stir up trouble.

’Besides, she was no saint herself. The person who could point a finger in her face, curse her out, and get away unscathed hadn’t been born yet.’
