Chapter 81 

“ Come on , hurry up .

If the servants make it , Torin will definitely taste the difference , Rowena sneered .

“ It has to be you .

Otherwise , I’ll cut my hand , tell Torin you did it , and get you kicked out .

Hmph .

And if my hand is ruined … at least I won’t need to find someone to take my placement test anymore .

” 

Her expression morphed from disdainful to smug as she spoke .

Even Elysia , long accustomed to Rowena’s true nature , couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine .

 

‘ How cruel must one be to harm themselves just to frame someone else ? ‘ Elysia thought .

 

Elysia didn’t want to stir up trouble with placement tests just around the corner , so she reluctantly agreed 

However , when she carefully y carried the freshly made medicine ” back to Rowena , she was met with another sheet .

 

“ What are you trying to do , burn me alive ? This just came off the stove .

Unlike you , I have delicate skin .

Go take it to him yourself .

” 

Elysia thought to herself , Fine But don’t come crying when Torin sees me and not you ! 

She kept silent and cautiously brought the bowl into Torin’s room .

 

But the moment she laid eyes on the man lying on the luxurious bed , a wave of Funease surged through her .

 

99 degrees ! How could his face be this red ‘ ‘ Elysia thought .

 

Even the viewers , watching through the screen , sensed something was wrong 

[ Is this really just 90 degrees ? His face is so red and look at the sweat soaking the sheets Cross – your “ perfect ” idol is such a slob .

[ Why is he buried under so many blankets ! This is straight – up murder I 

Torin doesn’t look like he’s sleeping – he looks unconscious .

That family doctor must be a total hack .

My dad’s better at medicine than him .

Elysia gently placed the bowl on the cable and quickly walked to Torin’s side .

 

She extended her right hand , letting the back of her palm touch his forehead to gauge his temperature .

 

Her naturally cool hands brought a sliver of relief to Torin 

His tense body visibly relaxed , and he instinctively nuzzled against her hand like a small animal seeking comfort .

 

Rowena asked , “ What are you doing ? ” 

Rowena stormed in , yanking Elysia’s hand away .

 

Elysia shook off Rowena’s grip , her gaze fixed on Torin .

“ This is bad .

It is a high fever … 

Though she murmured the words softly , Rowena heard her loud and clear in the silent room 

Rowena said , “ Sec 1 told you your brother is really sick .

He’s completely out of it ! Now , get out I’m going to wake him up to drink the medicine .

” 

But Elysia ignored her .

Instead , she picked up the thermometer from the nightstand to check his temperature .

When she saw the mercury level , her face paled .

 

“ Rowena , are you sure this is just 99 degrees Elysia exchimed , holding up the thermometer that clearly read 100 degrees .

 

How could the doctor have misread something so critical Elysia thought .

 

care so much ? 

Rowena , clueless about medical mutters , dismissed her concern .

“ It’s just a fever .

Why do you care so 

“ Or are you trying to steal the credit ? It doesn’t matter .

Torin doesn’t like you anyway .

Even if he knows you made the medicine , it won’t change anything .

Now get lost .

You’re in my way 

She shoved Elysia , intent on ensuring Torin wouldn’t wake up to see her .

 

“ If he doesn’t get to a hospital , he could die .

Elysia said firmly , dodging Rowena’s grip and bolting downstairs .

 

Realizing what Elysia intended , Rowena chased after her , screaming .

“ What ? No way ! You can’t send him to the hospital .

How else will he become brain – dead ? ” 

1/3 

10:41 AM 

Chapter 81 

Elysia ran into the living room and grabbed the phone to call the ambulance .

Before the call could connect , Rowena yanked the cord from the wall .

her face contorted with fury .

 

“ Not I want him to burn into a big idiot ! ” 

This was the breaking point for the Torin watching from the viewing room .

He shot to his feet , his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked .

 

His whole demeanor screamed rage , as if he wanted nothing more than to jump through the screen and slap Rowena senseless .

 

The people in the live – stream laughed even harder when they saw him like this .

 

[ Torin , you have such a lovely sister , don’t you ? ) .

 

[ 100 degrees ? At this rate , he’d definitely turn into a vegetable .

Honestly , serves him right .

[ But he survived in the end .

Tsk .

tsk .

What a shame .

Rowena’s execution skills are so weak – what a failure .

[ This girl reminds me of a horror movie from n 

my country .

“ Orphan .

Was she adopted too ! Can someone explain this to me ? ] 

[ Not quite the same .

She’s not a disguised adult like in “ Orphan ” She’s more like the twisted kid from “ The Bad Seed “ ] 

[ No way .

The girl in “ The Bad Seed was way prettier and smarter .

Honestly , it’s amazing Rowena managed to hide her true colors for so long .

“ Yes , Howena was evil and dumb , And yet , how has no one seen through her for so long ? Meanwhile .

Elysia – kind , selfless Elysia – had been falsely accused of being a villain .

After all the wrongs I have done , would Elysia even forgive me ? Torin thought 

Torin’s chest tightened painfully at the thought .

The memories of his past mistakes , the hurtful words he had flung at her , and the punishments he had unfairly imposed all felt like daggers stabbing at his heart 

The realization that he might have to relive these memories through the livestream filled him with dread .

The prospect of facing these truths head- on made him want to run to bury the pain and guilt deep within himself .

 

But if he ran away like a coward , Elysia would surely despise him even more .

Perhaps she would never return to him at all .

 

“ What are you thinking about ? ” Fenwick interrupted , hesitating before finally saying , “ I know Rowena’s bad , but didn’t she cut herself to save you ! Maybe she’s trying to make up for her mistakes ” 

Fenwick’s tone suggested he was trying to convince himself as much as Torin 

The tension between the two was palpable .

Several housemaids pecked nervously from their rooms , drawn out by the commotion .

Rowena had previously ordered them to stay away , but now , sering the escalating chaos , they hesitantly emerged .

 

Spotting them , Rowena barked , “ You two ! Come here and grabs her ! ” 

Elysia , unwilling to hurt Rowena , had been trying to evade her rather than fight back .

But to her dismay , the two mais obeyed without hesitation , seizing her wrists and restraining her 

Rowena smirked with satisfaction .

“ Good .

When my mom gets back tomorrow , I’ll make sure you two get a raise .

Just hold her down until morning .

” 

As Rowena turned to leave , one of the maids stopped her .

“ Miss Drayton , should we tie her up ! It’d be easier for us.

” 

“ Yeah ,” the other chimed in .

“ We still have work tomorrow .

We can’t stay up all night ” 

With that , she wanted to walk up , but one of the servants stopped her and said , “ Miss , why don’t we help you tie her up ?” 

Another echoed , “ That’s right , Miss .

We still have to work tomorrow .

How can we not sleep all night ! ” 

Seeing this , Torin couldn’t help but curse again .

“ A bunch of traitors ! ” 

[ No kidding .

The Drayton family might as well rename itself the Grant family at this rate .

Rowena and her mother are practically running the show .

[ Seriously , why does Rowena have so much power ? Isn’t Elysia also a Drayton Aren’t they afraid shell report them ? ] 

Are you dumb ? They probably know Elysia’s complaints would fall on deaf ears .

Even Torin believed Rowena over her ] 

What happened next shocked everyone watching .

 

Chapter 81 

Elysia , now bound tightly to a chair , was locked inside a cramped storage room .

 

But instead of staying upstairs .

Rowena appeared in front of her once more , holding a gleaming fruit knife , 

The dim , yellowed light , the cold , reflective blade , and the oppressive atmosphere of the cluttered room made it feel like a scene straight out of a 

horror movie
