Chapter 142 

“ Let me out , Stellan Elysia’s voice cracked as she pounded on the car window , her fists trembling .

If Rowena gets there first , you know what she’ll do .

She’ll tell Callan it was my fault he got hurt .

Please , just this once – open the door and let me go ! ” 

Her desperation was palpable , her small frame straining as she fought against the confines of the locked car .

Her fists rapped harder against the glass , as if sheer force could catch Garlan’s attention 

But Stellan remained infuriatingly calm .

His hands stayed steady on the steering wheel , his voice smooth as silk .

 

“ Elysia , ” he began , the faintest hint of amusement lacing his tone , I’ve already helped you so many times .

But you’ve never given me anything in return … Remember when I told you to get rid of Rowena for me ? ” 

He let the words hang in the air , his gaze unwavering “ I gave you two years .

You didn’t do it .

You don’t see me as a friend , nor as a partner .

So tell me , Elysia .

Why should I keep helping your ” 

Elysia froze .

His words hit her like a cold slap to the face .

 

She thought , ‘ A friend ? What kind of friend planted a virus on my phone to delete my hard – earned evidence ? What kind of friend spied on my every move while pretending to be a saviort And a partner ! That was even more Laughable .

 

ere present , he never 

She’d had chances to expose Rowena , but Stellan had sabotaged them , every single time .

Whenever her father or brothers were sided with her – despite knowing the truth , seeing the lies unfold before his very eyes .

 

The silence stretched , long and suffocating Stellan mistook it for guilt, for self – reflection .

He thought his words had finally broken through her defenses , that he’d earned her trust Emboldened , he spoke again , his voice low and coaxing , like the whisper of a serpent 

“ Come home with me , Elysia .

Forget about them .

Be my sister .

Take my name .

What do you say ? ” Stellan said .

 

He extended a hand toward her , elegant and pale , his fingers long and delicate like a sculptor’s masterpiece .

It hovered before her like a lifeline , a promise wrapped in temptation 

The livestreamchat exploded 

[ Say yes ! I thought he wanted her as his wife , but if it’s just as a sister .

[ Elysia , you hit the jackpot ! The Rookwood family is loaded Stellarfs an only child .

If he spoils you , your life is set .

Just say yes already ! ] 

[ Don’t disappoint me , Elysia .

This is your way out .

Take idl 

But the more the viewers cheered , the angrier Caellan became .

He stormed toward Stellan , yanking him by the collar with a ferocity .

“ How dare you ? She’s my Elysia ! What makes you think you can play the big brother ? ” 

“ You didn’t want her , and now you want to stop others from taking care of her ? Stellan sneered , “ Besides , who’d want to be your brother ? Don’t flatter yourself .

 

The scathing retort left everyone in stunned silence .

 

The composed Stellan , known for his elegance and charm , had just unleashed an insult sharp enough to rival a villainous CEO .

 

As if to emphasize his point , Elysia finally broke her silence .

Tm sorry , but I don’t want to go home with you .

And I definitely don’t want to be your 

sister .

” 

Elysia’s mind raced .

Why would Stellan go so far to help her , only to sabotage her at every critical moment Was it because of her blood ? Did Rowena tell him ! 

Rowena only sought to belittle her – she’d never reveal Elysia’s value .

 

Besides , Elysia had been cautious , keeping her secret buried deep .

Even with Stellan’s spies watching her , it shouldn’t have been discovered .

 

The man she glimpsed at the Drayton family’s gala last year – Stellan’s father – looked nothing like Stellan .

That couldn’t be it 

Elysia clenched her fists , a quiet resolve hardening in her chest .

She didn’t want to go back to the cold metal beds .

She didn’t want to be locked inside sterile glass chambers .

 

She just wanted to live – a quiet , ordinary life .

 

“ Fine .

” Stellan bit out , his jaw tight with frustration .

His fingers gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles whitened .

“ If you don’t want to , I won’t force you 

His foot slammed on the gas pedal , sending the car hurtling down the street .

The engine roared as they raced away from Ridgewood Middle

Chapter 142 

School , the distance between them and the school stretching to over a kilometer before he slammed the brakes .

 

The abrupt stop sent Elysia lurching forward , her head snapping back against the seat .

She sat there , dazed and wide – eyed , the blood draining from 

her face .

 

Calmly , as if nothing had happened , Stellan unlocked the doors 

“ Go , ” he said , his voice eerily gentle .

Go find your family .

If they kick you out , you’re always welcome at my home .

My doors are always open to you .

” 

His words were soft , but his actions were rough .

A contradiction in every sense , a man whose kindness stung like a blade .

 

Elysia didn’t wait .

The moment the locks clicked open , she pushed the door wide , dragging her injured leg as she bolted out and began running back toward the school .

.

 

The viewers erupted once more .

 

[ Why is she running ? She’s not even that far from the school ! With her hearing , she should’ve already known what’s happening there ! ] [ Look at her l 

leg That’s not just a sprain – it could be broken ! How is she even running !! She’s in 

[ You idiots .

She’s trying to reach Caellan and tell him the truth .

She knows if she waits , Rowena will cwist the story beyond repair .

[ Whit .

Why is it so quiet ? Why isn’t she hearing anything yet ? ) 

And then , faintly , at 1500 feet , the first sound reached her ears .

 

The perspective shifted , the livestreun pulling away from Elysia to focus on Callan 

And the audience’s unease turned to dread 

[ Elysia’s hearing … it’s weakening.
