Chapter 65
[ Torin , great job .
Youâre not just stingy with the $ 30,000 but also threw in an insult .
Elysiaâs unlucky to have a brother like you .
Sheâd be better off with that commenter who wanted to be your sister .
]
[ Wait , I take it back ! No way Iâd want a brother like Torin .
Iâd rather die .
[ Hmm⦠hard to judge .
$ 30,000 is a lot to me , but knowing the Drayton family spends that much on monthly allowances makes it feel stingy .
Torin , Iâd quit working for you .
If thatâs how you treat family , what about us : ]
is not just the money .
Itâs splitting it into two parts and using it as leverage to humiliate Elysia .
Honestly , Elysia , take the money a needs a sibling bond like that ? Itâs worthless .
]
Elysia didnât immediately accept the transfer .
Instead , with trembling hands , she called the one person she least wanted to contact .
This time , the call was answered almost instantly , as though the other person had been waiting for it
â Well Elysia finally remembers me .
â Rowenaâs saccharine voice rang out .
and cut ties Who
Elysiaâs tone was
L drained of emotion from the ceaseless accusations and betrayals .
I need money for surgery .
If you still want me to take your test for you , return the allowance that Dad owed me all these years .
â
Rowena scoffed .
â Oh So you are still planning to take my test .
But let me guess â you didnât go to Momâs grave to pay respects .
You went to hurt yourself , didnât you ? â
â You probably thought that spilling a little blood in front of your momâs grave would tug at Dad and the boys heartstrings .
You really are dreaming â
Elysia didnât
ât bother explaining her true intentions for visiting the grave .
It wasnât worth the mockery Rowena would inevitably hurl at her .
Her silence only fueled Rowenaâs anger .
â Looking for money ? Ha ! I already spent it all just this month , I dropped 30 thousand dollars on a Chanel bag.
And guess what ? Another 30 thousand dollars came straight from Torin
â What ? He didnât give you anything when you called him ? Rowena sneered , her voice dripping with malice
Her words pierced Elysia like a dagger .
The heartache far surpassed the pain from her wound .
Her brother â the one she had called for help â was willing to hand over 30 thousand dollars to Rowena for a bag but anached humiliating conditions to the same amount for his own sisterâs medical needs .
Tears welled in Elysiaâs eyes , her throat tightening painfully .
Rowena , noticing her silence , grew even bolder .
â Hereâs the deal .
Youâre already at the hospital , right ? How about cooking a meal for that useless blind fool Caellan and taking it to him ? Do that , plus take my placement test , and I might just consider giving you 15 thousand dollars .
â
Elysia didnât hesitate .
She hung up the phone .
There was no way sheâd abandon her own placement test â t
-the опе chance
10 turn
In her life around .
As for Torin , maybe if she brought him the doctorâs invoice , she could clear up the misunderstanding
After finally accepting the two transfers , Elysia began typing out a message : [ Thank you .
But before she could hit send , a red exclamation mark appeared on the screen .
The system notification : Blocked
The live â stream audience erupted in a storm of anger , pity , and sorrow .
[ My God .
Rowena really ruined Elysiaâs life .
Damn it ! I hate Rowena so much .
]
Even if it was for an
[ No , the worst is still â Torin 30 thousand dollars for a step â sisterâs bag And only 15 thousand dollars for his real sisterâs health ? Ex abortion â 15 thousand dollars ? Really ? And cutting ties on top of it? What a joke .
]
Torin couldnât bring himself to look at the barrage of comments .
Each line felt like a slap to his
his face .
He wished he could endure the same suffering as Elysia â no , he wished she could hit him , just to feel her warmth , hear her voice , and hear her call him â brother â once more .
[ Wait a minute .
Caellanâs blind â I never knew that ]
Compared to the fury aimed at Torin , the focus on Caellan was fleeting , quickly buried beneath the waves of criticism .

d fool Carllan â â Cook a meal for him â
But for Caellan , Rowenaâs words echoed relentlessly in his mind .
â That useless blind t
â No , no way .
â Caellan told himself .
Caellan thought , Elysia didnât agree , right ? Rowena mustâve just been venting .
She couldnât have lied about everything over the past two years Especially about my favorite pork ribs .
Mom made those , and Rowena brought them to me .
Elysia had nothing to do with it .
Nothing â
His thoughts raced , desperately clinging to the version of events that kept Rowena innocent .
