Chapter 136

[ Whoal This woman’s tough .

How much drama can one person cause ? ]

[ Why the hell is Rowena ordering someone to break Caellan’s legs ? ]

Caellan’s jaw dropped , his face frozen in shock .

His voice trembled as he muttered , “ It was Rowena .

She was behind it all .

”

His mind reeled back to that night five years ago .

Beaten bloody by a gang , left to die on the freezing concrete , he had convinced himself it was Elysia who had hired them .

Even a minute before overhearing Rowena’s incriminating phone call , he had clung to that belief .

Caellan had made peace with the idea .

He thought Elysia’s revenge was her answer to his betrayal – ruining her placement test and breaking his promise to her .

It had all made sense .

Bur

now , Caellan’s thoughts spiraled .

‘ If it was her , then who saved me in the end ”

[ I’ve got a bad feeling … Don’t tell me Elysia is about to save that piece of trash , Caellan .

She wouldn’t , right ? )

[ Oh , she totally would .

Elysia’s such a saint .

She’d save him even after all the hell he put her through ]

[ No way .

Is she gonna take the feating for him to give him a chance to escape ? No.

She can’t .

Not after everything he’s done .

Caellan doesn’t even recognize his savior and still blames Elysia for hiring those thugs ! ]

Caellan’s chest tightened as he thought , ‘ Could it really be true ? No.

No , that can’t be it

He was sure of one thing .

When he was beaten nearly unconscious , the one he saw was Rowena

But ever since he learned Rowena had poisoned him , he had no doubt she wasn’t there to save him .

of him , but now , he

He recalled how pristine she had looked that night – not a single hair out of place .

She had only fooled the battered version of him , b could see through her lies ,

Callan thought , ‘ Elysia .

It must have been her .

She must have threatened Rowena to spare me .

That is the only explanation .

But why has Rowena , who has already returned home , suddenly appeared at the school gates !

Caellan couldn’t piece in together .

The

livestream , however , had the answers .

“ Hello , I’d like to file a report ” Elysia’s voice came through loud and clear .

She didn’t have a recording or evidence to blackmail Rowena , nor was she foolish enough to confront the gang head – on .

Her only option was to call the police .

“ The address is near Ridgewood Middle School .

There’s a group of people planning to harm … a middle schooler .

It could be fatal .

Elysia deliberately painted the worst – case scenario to grab their attention .

The officer on the other end pressed her , “ Are you currently near Ridgewood Middle School ? We need mo

more details ”

Elysia hesitated before replying .

“ I’m at Royal Villas , number 56.

I overheard their phone call with a girl , and I’m reporting it as soon as I could .

Please send someone immediately before it’s too late .

Her words were met with a skeptical silence .

To the officers , it seemed absurd .

Royal Villas was a wealthy neighborhood , infamous for its bored heirs and heiresses staging fake emergencies to waste police resources .

“ Alright , please provide your name and SSN , which is Social Security Number , Did you catch the victim o

Elysia replied without missing a 1

a beat .

”

“ My nam

or suspect’s namest the officer asked .

name is Elysia Drayton .

The victim is Caellan Drayton .

I don’t know who the suspects are .

”

The names triggered alarm bells .

Both surnames marched .

When the officers ran her SSN , they discovered the two lived at the same address Royal Villas

“ Elysia ,” the officer asked cautiously , “ is Caellan your relative ? Why didn’t you say so earlie

Elysia panicked , words catching in her throat .

Her silence only confirmed the officer’s suspicions ,

“ Please don’t waste police resources like this , he snapped before hanging up .

Elysia’s plan had failed

Chapter 136

She was out of options .

Should I go to her father ? Elysia thought .

But Rowena had already manipulated the gang into framing her for this mess ,

Elysia , scarred by years of false accusations and distrust , decided against seeking help .

Still , the thought of Caellan losing his arm – or worse , his eyesight – gnawed at her .

And she couldn’t bear the idea of her father misunderstanding her again because of Caellan

“ This is the last time , she muttered to herself “ Caellan , wake up already .

”

Elysia cast a final glance at the darkened sky before storming into the villa .

Her wet clothes cling to her skin , but she paid them no mind , her anger fueling her every step

Under the watchful eyes of the staff , she marched straight into Rowena’s room , ready to confront her

across time and space , striking him

“ Meanwhile , in the lab , Caellan sat on the floor , replaying Elysia’s words in his mind .

Words that seemned to echo ac like a bolt of lightning .

His eyes brimmed with tears .

That was Elysia , his sister , unwavering , incomparable , and always kind ,
