Chapter 139 

Despite their vastly different approaches , both Tarin and Fenwick showed unwavering concern for Rowena 

Their trust in her was instant , unquestioning – they needed only a glance at her to conclude she’d been wronged .

 

Elysia knew the odds were stacked against her .

She was holding the only evidence that could clear her name .

 

Should I lay it all out for them now ? Elysia thought .

 

She’d tried that too many times before .

And every time , their arrogance blinded them .

They only believed Rowena .

– 

Elysia’s heart pounded Runt Could I really get away !’ 

Amid her racing thoughts , Rowena’s tearful voice sliced through the tension : “ It was … it was Elysiat She barged into my room out of nowhere and said she was going to kill me … then she choked me ! “ 

“ What !! She dared to lay a hand on you ? ” Fenwick exclaimed , horror flashing across his face .

 

He moved to pull Rowens closer to inspect her injuries , but she clung tightly to Torn , tgnoring him entirely- 

Her sobs grew louder as she continued , “ Elysia said Caellan is already dead .

She had him killed ! And once in gone , she’ll be your only sister … 

Fenwick’s shock turned to fury .

“ What ? 

He reached out for Rowena again , but Torin silenced him with a sharp glue .

Fenwick froze , his hand suspended in the air 

Torin , what if Caellan … what if he really is .

Rowena’s voice trembled as she buried her face in Torin’s leg , her entire body shaking , “ It’s my fault .

I should have left sooner .

I put Caellan in danger .

Fll go now I’ll leave the house ! 

Despite her words , Rowena made no effort to move , staying kneeling on the floor , clutching Torin’s leg .

Her performance was one of frailty and distress , and in only solidified Elysia’s decision 

If she fled and wasn’t around to defend herself , Tonn’s and Fenwick’s hatred for her might drive them to check the security footage .

 

For Rowena’s Lake , they’d dig into the evidence .

And then they’d see it – the hallway footage of Rowena clawing her own neck 

For once , their hatred might actually work in my favor , Elysia murmured under her breath , a bitter smile tugging at her lips .

“ If they won’t trust what I show them , they can see the truth for themselves .

 

Even so , as she glanced at the chat logs recovered on her phone , a deep sigh escaped her 

She couldn’t let go of the chance to expose Rowena entirely .

 

With quick fingers , she screenshotted the messages and sent them to her email .

Her last safety net secured , she moved to the window , 

Sliding it open , she paused .

 

She was on the third floor .

 

Torin’s heart leapt into his throat as he watched through the livestream .

His mind screamed a single question “ What is the planning to do 

“ Torin , is the … is the about to jump ? ” Fenwick asked , his voice trembling as he too stared at the screen , 

His heart raced , a mix of fear and sorrow clouding his senses , blurring the line between his emotions and what he imagined Elysia must be feeling .

 

On screen , Dysis swung one leg over the 

the windowsill , her body half out of the window .

 

The t 

or wall outside was smooth – no ledges , no footholds .

If Elysia wanted to leave , the only way was to jump .

 

Her body hung completely outside now , her hands gripping the window frame .

 

When the sound of footsteps grew louder behind her , Elysia suddenly let go with one hand .

 

Fenwick couldn’t contain himself anymore .

He shot to his feet , yelling at the screen .

“ Elysial What are you doing ? We haven’t even said anything yet ! Why are you ….

 

His words cut off as the 

cut off as the scene shifted abruptly , and he let out a horrified scream 

Elysia had let go entirely .

The bitter night air swallowed her as gravity took over , dragging her into a freefall .

The cold wind howled , the muted moonlight framing her descent .

For a moment , everything was silent 

“ No ! ” Torin mared , veins bulging on his neck as he shouted , his cry raw with desperation .

 

But he couldn’t stop it .

He could only watch as Elysia plummeted from the third floor , over sixty feet down .

 

“ Don’t , Elysia .

Don’t do this Torin flung his blanket aside , attempting to get out of bed .

He forgot the fresh stitches in his abdomen .

 

Pain ripped through him , and he collapsed to the floor , clutching his bleeding wound .

His groans filled the room 

“ Why … why … ” Torin’s voice was thick with despair , his face contorted in anguish .

“ Why would she jump ? Why would she rather fall than speak the 

Fenwick , too , sat frozen in shork .

His mind chumed .

 

“ Why would Elysia choose this ?” he thought .

 

[ Why would she jump ? She had all the evidence .

And the security footage would prove Rowena’s lies .

Why throw herself out the window ! ] 

[ Don’t be ridiculous , Torin and Fenwick haven’t done anything yet .

She fled in fear of crime because of her guilty conscience .

What a coward .

[ Isn’t it obvious ? The pain of jumping was still less than what the Drayton family put her through ] 

[ Think about it — if she stayed and showed them the screenshots , they’d just accuse her of faking them .

But if she ran , the family’s arrogance would push them to call the cops and pull the footage .

She knew exactly what she was doing .

Torin slumped against the bed frame , his head hanging low , his hair a mess .

 

His bloodshot eyes stared blankly , his expression hollow .

He looked like a lost child , adrift and hopeless .

 

“ Why isn’t Elysia moving ? What happened to her ! ” Fenwick’s voice quivered as the shared emotional pain faded , and his senses returned .

But when be opened his eyes , the screen was dark , 

Has the stream stopped ? Or had something happened to Elysia ” Fenwick thought , 

The thought chilled him to the bone .

He trembled for a moment but then steadied himself , murmuring .

“ No.

She’s fine .

She must be fine .

It’s just the third floor .

People don’t die from that ” 

Torin turned to him , his lips curling into a bitter smirk .

“ No , she won’t die .

But she’ll break her legs .

Her arms .

Maybe crack her skull .

And if the bleeding doesn’t stop … ” 

He trailed off , his voice a whisper of gulli .

“ And we … We believed Rowena without question .

” 

The stream flickered back on , showing the three of them staring at an empty room .

 

“ She was just here , ” Rowena stammered , panic evident in her voice .

“ She couldn’t have left .

I didn’t see her leave ” 

Torin stepped into the hallway , waving down a passing servant .

“ Did 

you see Elysia ? 

“ No , sir, ” the servant replied .

“ But five minutes ago , I saw her storming into Rowena’s room looking furious .

Then we heard Rowens crying .

” 

“ Damn Elysia ” Fenwick growled , kicking the wall in frustration .

“ I knew we shouldn’t have let her stay , Rowena was bound to get hun because of her .

 

Fenwick , seething with frustration , lashed out at the wall with 

h his foot .

 

Rowena , the master manipulator , seized the moment with tears streaming down her face .

Her sobs came in trembling waves as she whimpered , “ Fenwick , don’t speak of Elysia like that She only only grabbed me That’s all 

Torin exhaled deeply , shaking his head in disappointment .

He said , “ This isn’t just about grabbing you .

and .

We 

e need to pull the surveillance footage 

He paused mid – sentence , his face twisting into a grimace as if the thought of Elysia filled him with irrevocable despair .

 

Finally , he added .

“ We should call the police .

Let them take her in and discipline her properly .

If she doesn’t change after that , we’ll send her to a specialized school for re – education ” 

Torin made a move toward his study to access the security footage , but Rowena quickly sprang into action .

“ Wait ! Torin , don’t forget about Caellan .

We should look for him .

It’s so late , and he hasn’t come back yet , What if something terrible has happened to him ! ” 

She stepped forward , her voice trembling just enough to sound earnest .

“ Besides , no mutter what Elysia has done , she’s still your sister .

How can

This is her home .

She’ll return .

” 

A pained smile spread across her face as she grabbed both Torin and Fenwick by the hands , practically dragging them downstairs 

Just as they reached the staircase , Rowena paused .

She cast a fleeting glance back at the open window – a calculated , almost theatrical gesture .

That single glance was all it took for the livestream audience to piece things together .

 

[ She just dragged them away like that ? What about Elysia ? ]

What a shameless act ! Who is she fooling ? What if something happened to Caellan ? Seriously ? Would anything have happened to for you Rowena ? ] 

[ Elysia literally risked everything to force Torin to check the surveillance footage , and it’s all undone by a maid’s comment and Rower’s fake concern .

Unbelievable .

I can’t take this anymore .

Elysia , don’t come back , I don’t ever want to see Rowena smugly getting away with this again .
