Chapter 38

Does Rowena’s behavior count as attempted murder ? )

[ Her sweet and innocent persona is crumbling to dust .

I told you , you can’t trust anyone in the entertainment industry .

Nothing’s real ]

[ Poor Elysial Thank goodness those snakes don’t bite her .

Otherwise , she’d have died in vain .

Attempted murder confirmed .

This video needs to be handed over to the police .

Or maybe we can use it to cancel out Elysia pushing Rowena down the stairs .

Det her go ! ]

[ In your dreams ! Rowena was only thirteen at the time , and she wouldn’t even face charges , kal .

]

Such an audacious claim instantly sparked public outrage .

Viewers unearthed evidence , bombarded her with messages and flooded her phone with relentless calk .

This sudden wave of online backlash trended on social media , silencing even Rowena’s most loyal fans .

Nobody dared use the ‘ she’s just a minor

excuse anymore

“ Did Rowena really say those things ? Torin asked , his voice trembled , hoarse with emotion .

Torin didn’t want to believe it .

No , he couldn’t believe it .

Rowena , whom he had protected for twenty years was capable of being this cruel this cold – hearted .

She had plotted against Elysia , framed her , and even tried to kill her .

Fenwick stood silently nearby , just as stunned .

He never would have thought that their sweet and innocent sister could have such a dark side

But it was too late to turn back now .

The band between Fenwick and Elysia had already been shattered beyond repair .

Fenwick had chosen Rowena , and he had to stand by her no matter what .

He had to accept the mistakes she’d made in the past .

Whatever he owed Elysia , Fenwick would repay .

Whatever Rowena owed , he’d help her make it right .

He just hoped that when Elysia returned , she wouldn’t retaliate against Rowena .

“ Mr.

Drayton , if you don’t trust our methods , then you might as well stop watching now .

” Stellan replied , narrowing her eyes at the two brothers .

Torin seemed desperate to escape the truth .

Fenwick , on the other hand , looked completely brainwashed , showing no trace of anger toward

Rowen

But no one’s disappointment was as profound as Serena’s .

Her furious typing practically set her keyboard on fire , but when she hit send , a red exclamation mark popped up .

You’re banned from commenting for 24 hours

Back to the livestream , Serena couldn’t hold back any longer and blurted , “ Elysia , you bitch ! Are you passed out from feart Or did you die of frighter

At that moment , the perpetrator’s violence was still simmering , her mind consumed by terror .

But when the door opened , Serena’s expectations were shattered .

Elysia , who should have been sobbing and screaming in fear , was instead sitting calmly in the center of the snake pit .

Her ley gaze locked onto Serena , and even the snakes seemed to turn their heads toward the intruder .

Three seconds later …

“ What the hell Elysia , you’re not human ! Serena exclaimed and couldn’t bear the weight of so many eyes staring at her .

Then she bolted , leaving the door wide open .

Soon , Elysia gathered the snakes into her arms happily and carried them out .

By the time Rowena led the teacher to the now – empty equipment room , the teacher frowned .

Rowena , where’s the bullying you mentioned ? ” Roweru hesitated , unable to respond .

The teacher sighed , patting her on the head .

“I’ve got things to take care of at home .

You should head back too , ” she said firmly before leaving

For the first time , Rowena felt genuinely wronged .

But more than anything she was furious : ‘ It had to be Serena who lets Elysia got Stupid ! she multered

“ Damn it , damn it Rowena hissed .

“ Elysia’s going to go home and rat me out .

And if she dies there .

Dad and Torin will investigate for sure .

Rowena continued , “ I need to figure out a way to make sure they don’t let her come back .

”

Aller Rowena finished speaking a cunning smile appeared on her face , sending chills down people’s spines .

Chapter 38

However , the scene didn’t last long and shifted to another side quickly .

Elysia stopped on her way to the cafeteria , glancing back toward the equipment room

After a moment of hesitation , Elysia sighed .

“ I guess I should find you something to eat first , Don’t worry , I won’t tell anyone .

No one’s going to hurt

you

[ The bag moved ! THE BAG MOVED I

[ It’s gotta be snakes .

Oh my god , Elysia amazes me again .

I thought her holding those snakes was wild enough , but now you’re telling me she’s taking them with her ? ]

And she knows they’re venomous ! If it were me , I’d be halfway across campus , grabbing security and reporting those two buches ]

Fenwick frowned deeply and asked , “ Why is she putting venomous snakes in her bag ? She has to be planning to bring them back for revenge ”

“ Isn’t that obvious ? ” Torin replied bisterly .

“ We misunderstood her.

Rowena lied , cheated , and tried to kill her , not once , but multiple times .

Remember when she pushed Elysia off that cliff ? ”

Torin’s voice was laced with sorrow .

He thought about how naive they’d been , chalking Rowena’s actions up to childish impulsiveness .

But now ? To lure Elysia , hire accomplices , purchase venomous snakes , and sull wear that innocent mask ? Even after living under the same roof for Twenty years , Rowena’s calculated cruelly sent a chill down Torin’s spine .

Fenwick clenched his jaw , unable to argue .

I swear Ill never speak to Torin again .

I had to find a way to bring Callan onto my side .

He’s the only one left who may understand , he thought

“ Thank you ” Elysia said politely as she wiped her meal card to buy fifty raw quail eggs .

Finally , Elysia carried the bag past the stares and whispers of her classmates and the cafeteria staff .

Even as she walked ten feet away , their words followed her like a shadow .

“ Isn’t that the girl who stood on the field the other day ? I heard she’s an illegitimate child .

”

“ She’s in our grade .

Rowena’s her little sister .

Rowena is unlucky ! God , what a shame , having such a disgusting freak for a sister ”

The words felt like arrows grazing Elysia’s skin .

They didn’t hurt at first , but the wounds piled up , and the pain became unbearable .

“ Rowena’s more than unlucky .

She’s the nightful daughter of the Drayton family , but an illegitimate sister comes along to steal attention .

On top of that , she’s constantly bullied at home .

If it weren’t for her two brother , who knows what would’ve happened to her ? ”

“ At least here at school , we protect Rowena .

No way would Elysia get the chance to bully her .

”

What made Elysia

even more upset was that her classmates showed sympathy towards Rowena , yet they directed all their malice towards her .

Elysia picked up her pace .

She knew it wasn’t true , none of it was true , but she couldn’t stop herself from listening .

“ Ah ! ” Elysia stumbled and fell , shielding the bag of snakes instinctively

Elysia’s arms took the brunt of the impact , leaving them covered in deep scratches that bled through her sleeves .

It felt like the whisper around her solidified into physical pain .

[ I don’t get it .

Elysia’s not even ugly .

Why can’t she just wash her face and pull her hair back ? ]

[ Maybe she doesn’t care about her looks ! Anyway , people aren’t isolating her because of her appearance ]

[ It’s probably Rowena’s fault .

Last time , didn’t she force Elysia to hide her face by threatening her with her mom’s death ? ]

[ Agreed .

It’s frustrating Elysia’s so much prettier than Rowena but has to hide her face .

It’s so unfair .

]

What nonsense .

Rowena’s clearly prettier .

Look it up on Google if you don’t believe me.

Elysia’s just an ugly drama queen .
