Chapter 58 

“ Rupert , why are you back ! ” Althea asked , 

Rupert had just walked into the house and immediately ran into Althea , who was heading out .

She was completely covered from head to toe , which made Rupert raise an eyebrow in curiosity .

“ Why are you dressed like that ? Where are you going 

Althea forced an awkward laugh , trying to think fast .

“ Oh , I was just planning to take a walk and clear my head .

The sun outside is so harsh , so I thought I’d cover up ” 

She had actually been planning to visit Rowena at the hospital but didn’t dare tell Rupen , fearing he’d insist on going with her .

 

She came up with another excuse , adding .

“ You know , ever since Rowena ended up in a coma and was hospitalized .

I just can’t stand being in the house .

Every time I walk past her room , I feel like crying .

” 

Her delicate , tearful voice echoed in the living room , but strangely , Rupert didn’t respond with his usual gentle comfort .

 

“ Rupert , what’s wrong ” Althea’s heart sank at his prolonged silence .

Anxiety crept in as she wondered if he’d seen something incriminating in the memory livestream .

 

Just as her mind spiraled , Rupert finally patted her shoulder lightly and sighed , speaking in a somber tone .

“ Rowena … that poor girl .

I guess this is just the way things are meant to be .

Anyway , Althea stop crying .

We still have Caellan .

” 

to Althea 

Rupert had spent that moment of silence grappling with whether to reveal Rowena’s misdeeds to 

Seeing his gentle demeanor return .

Althea relaxed and even leaned into it , crying harder .

“ How can you say that , Rupert Just because Rowena isn’t your biological daughter , would you abandon her ? 

Rupert , however , was reminded of how Althea had always been cold and indifferent to Elysia .

His irritation flared .

“ Fine .

.

go take your walk .

I have 

other matters to deal with ” 

The maids in this house are completely useless , he muttered as he turned and brushed past her .

 

Althea stood there , stunned and furious .

This wasn’t the outcome she had expected .

 

Rupert wasn’t angry with her , it had to be something 

thing Rowena had done .

Watching him walk away , she stomped her foot in frustration .

 

Althea thought .

“ Damn it , Rowena .

You better find a way to shut down that damned livestream – or deal with Elysia once and 

d for all .

Otherwise , this 

won’t end .

” 

imped forward .

 

Meanwhile , in the livestream , under a flurry of audience comments , the memory skipped 

Now visibly older , Elysia sat in a comer desk at the back of the classroom .

It was ninth grade , as evidenced by the workbook on her desk .

 

Her surroundings painted a grim picture .

Torn paper littered the floor , the desk was vandalized with hateful words .

 

Elysia , seemingly accustomed to such treatment , calmly packed her belongings , exposing the cruel graffiti for all to see .

 

As she left , she kicked the door lightly , triggering a trap .

A box filled with chalk dust tumbled down .

Elysia waited patiently for the dust to settle before stepping through , 

Outside , the hallways were dark ; it was late evening and the rest of the school had 

One silent 

[ Was that blatant bullying ? Those words on her desk – how could a teacher not notice ! ] 

[ There’s no way the teacher didn’t see it .

That back – corner seat was definitely intentional .

[ Why doesn’t she fight back ! Go to the principal’s office or cause a scene ! ] 

[ You don’t understand .

Bullies target those who have no parents , no friends , no support .

Acting out won’t help – it’ll just make things worse for her .

[ Yes , unless she has no intention of continuing her studies .

But what I’m curious about is , has she never told her family about this ! After all , she’s part of the Drayton family .

How could she have fallen to the point of being bullied by outsiders ! ] 

[ What ? Whatt Elysia has family ! ] 

Torin , his face still bearing fresh injuries , felt a surge of anger upon seeing this comment and wanted to punch the screen 

Why the screen ! Because their earlier fight had shattered his glasses , and until his new ones arrived , they could only rely on the large display in the

Chapter 58 

Suppressing his fury , he stood up and said .

“ Elysia never told me about any of this , but I deeply regret it .

If only I had paid more attention to what was happening to her at school , maybe … maybe everything could have been different .

 

Torin’s words rang clear in everyone’s ears .

Yet , instead of understanding or comfort , the response was a flood of seven glaring words .

There is no medicine for regret .

” 

Torin choked on the words , immediately replying .

Til make it up to her .

There’s still time .

Elysia’s life is only one – fifth over .

For the remaining four – fifths .

Ill take care of her .

I can spend my whole life unmarried , without starting my own family , just to be by her side , help her , and earn her forgiveness ” 

The more he thought about it , the more emotional he became , as though he could already imagine the moment Elysia forgave him and called him 

“ brother ” again .

 

He had to .

He had to become a proper brother once more .

 

As everyone focused their attention on Torn , no one noticed Fenwick’s increasingly pale face .

He remained silent , his head bowed , as though he too was consumed by some inner fear .

 

Soon , the screen cut to a scene at honic 

As Elysia returned to her room and unzipped her backpack , she let out a sharp , terrified gasp , dropping it to the ground .

 

Inside was a rabbit , brutally gutted , its insides spilled out around it .

 

Blood stained the backpack’s interior , and scattered among the mess were pieces of white paper , each covered in blood – red characters spelling out The word “ DEATH “ .

 

Elysia’s eyes widened , her hands trembling as fear gripped her heart 

Just then , a small snake slithered out from the backpack .

Upon closer inspection , it was familiar – it was Greenie , the snake she had recently released .

 

It flicked its tongue as if trying to communicate .

 

Elysia said .

“ I know , I know it wasn’t you .

Greenie .

Come here .

” 

Elysia quickly extended her hand , leiting the snake climb onto her before retreating to a corner with it .

 

The livestream audience was stunned .

 

[ Classic Elysia – terrified of a dead rabbit but fine with a live snake I 

[ What’s really scary are those death notes .

That’s just insane 

[ This scene is too ‘ artistic : I hate snakes ! ] 

Meanwhile , Fenwick grew even paler , sweat dripping down his forehead .

Bowing his head further , he seemed to be suppressing his own terror .

 

As Elysia finally gathered her courage to remove the rabbit from her backpack , she discovered a pile of colorful photos – and black – and – white ones -beneath its body .

 

Every single one of them was of her doused in water , covered in chalk dust , hit by textbooks .

They captured various moments of humiliation , with her face in full view 

What made the photos even more horrifying was that her facial features had been punctured with tiny holes , making them look grotesque and 

ge warmth in the cold – blooded creature .

 

Greenie nudged Elysia’s cheek with its cold head .

At that moment , everyone saw a strange 

Yet , in this house teeming with people .

Elysia had been reduced to seeking comfort from an animal , 

Thank you , Greenie .

I’m fine .

It’s my own fault for being too naive … 

“ Naive to think that telling my teachers and even the principal , or even writing to the pri 

principal would do anything 

“ I once believed that if I just avoided their pranks and stayed out of their way , my life would settle down 

She had tried everything , but all she received in return were worse forms of bullying .

Chapter 58 

Every time she escaped , it only brought nastier insults , cruel graffiti on her desk , red ink stains on her chair , flying basketballs during gym class , and relentless rumors … 

Elysia’s once dim eyes suddenly hit up .

She looked down and gently tapped the snake’s head , saying , “ No , Greenie .

If you bite them , you’ll get caught too .

I can’t lose you as well .

 

“ You’re right .

This can’t go on .

The placement test is coming up .

If they pull something on that day … I won’t allow it.

I’ll have to try my last option .

 

Is she really talking to a snake ? This world is insane .

It feels like I’m watching some fantasy drama – healing with snake venom , and now beast taming .

Elysia , are you maxed out on cheats ? ] 

[ Honestly , if I were Elysia , Fd let Greenie bite every one of those bullies to death .

Seriously .

.

can’t stand it anymore .

 

[ Could it be she’s not taming the snake but simply understands it ? They’re obviously friends .

Damn , I can’t believe I’m saying this – it sounds so absurd I 

[ Am I the only one curious about her last option ? Since Torin doesn’t know , it must mean the rest of the family doesn’t either .

Could it be she’s planning to confront those bullies head – on ! I want to see Elysia fight ! ]
