Chapter 91
The placement test lasted for three days , and Elysia only missed one subject .
In other words , as long as she scored close to full marks in the remaining six subjects , she could still get into Ridgewood Middle School .
However , many netizens were no longer hopeful about it .
They reckoned that even if Elysiaâs grades were excellent , it would be impossible for her to stay composed and focused during the exam under the immense pressure of being sick and missing an exam of a subject .
Whatâs more , Fenwick also stated the final outcome .
He said , â Elysia didnât get into Ridgewood Middle School , but that year , Ridgewood Middle School seemed to open a new ⦠â
Torin eagerly answered , â Itâs a specialty class .
I remember it clearly .
Itâs an art class .
The score requirement was over fifty points lower than the admission threshold .
â
There was an imperceptible sense of fluster in his tone .
It was as if by saying this first , he could prove to others that he cared about Elysia too .
However , only he knew that this news was not out of concern for Elysia .
Rather â¦
It wasnât just her manipulative words over three years that bothered him â it was the way Rowena played innocent while saying Elysiaâs class was too easy , lacked focus , and how she desperately wished to â help â her get back on track .
Rowena even said , â I canât bear to see her continuing down a harmful path like this .
â
But how did he answer back then ?
â Donât worry about her , â he said .
â Sheâs already seventeen .
If she canât get into college , then weâve done all we can .
We might as well leave her to fend for herself .
â
Although he had said this remark a long time ago , he could still clearly recall every word .
At the same time , he also remembered Elysiaâs extraordinary hearing .
He thought , â She must have heard every word without missing a single one â¦
This realization made the pain in his heart intensify significantly .
Torin couldnât stop the thoughts spiraling in his mind .
Theyâd let Elysia struggle on her own for ten long years , left her to fend for herself without a second thought .
And when she finally found her way back home , their father couldnât have cared less .
Worse , even he â her older brother , who used to treasure her more than anyone â had said something as heartless as telling her to manage on her own again .
The guilt was overwhelming , almost suffocating .
â Is Elysia , sitting on the other side of the screen , laughing bitterly at what I just said ? Or ⦠what if she didnât hear it back then ? The thought lingered .
If thatâs true , do I still have a chance to make things right ?
Clinging to a shred of hope , he told himself one thing : as long as he kept up the act , there might still be time to salvage everything .
Torin recalled everything he had seen in the past two days , and he thought, â All of it proved that Elysia was eager to attend school and attached great importance to learning .
Torin reflected on everything he had observed over the past two days .
It was clear to him that Elysia had a strong desire to attend school and placed great value on her education .
However , due to the mistakes made by their family , she had been denied the opportunity to continue learning , instead being forced to endure subjects and activities she disliked throughout high school .
Determined to make amends , Torin resolved to give Elysia what she truly loved .
With excitement and sincerity , Torin turned to the camera .
â Elysia , painting isnât really your thing , is it ? And youâve always wanted to keep studying , havenât you ?
â When you return , Iâll make sure you get into Stoneford University .
Itâs the best university in Fuvre â and itâs where I studied too .
Iâll find the best teacher to guide you .
Youâre incredibly smart â I know you can do this .
I believe in you .
I always have .
â
He imitated Michelleâs tone , tears welling up in his eyes as he repeated the word â believe â over and over , thinking that by doing so , he could make up for the mistakes he made years ago and atone for his faults .
The netizens did not ignore him this time .
Instead , they hit the nail on the head .

Chapter 91
[ Torin is acting innocent on the surface but is manipulative at heart , thinking that pretending to be pitiful will make Elysia forgive him .
Dream on ! ]
[ Looking at his attitude , could it be that heâs trying to guilt â trip Elysia ? Well , if heâs trying to guilt â trip her , he has to look like heâs beating himself up even more badly .
Just shedding a few teardrops is too meh , right ? ]
[ Elysia seems to be 23 now .
Letting her continue to study in high school ? Sheâll be 30 by the time she finishes university .
Her time is not valuable , huh ? ]
Just as Torin was about to explain , the comments popped up again .
[ Well ⦠Elysia hasnât studied for so long .
Whether she can get into Stoneford University is the real issue , right ? Why go around cursing at Torin ? ]
[ Sure .
But whatâs so wrong about taking art classes ? Canât students still learn in those classes ? If Elysia truly loves learning â and letâs say people like that exist â why does it matter if sheâs in a specialty class ? Itâs not that students in specialty classes do not study academic subjects .
[ There was an issue with her placement test .
She couldnât even pass the SAT , so why is that anyone elseâs fault ? ]
â You people , shut up ! â Torin said .
â Just because Elysia is my sister .
Just because I , as her older brother , didnât notice right away that she hadnât woken up .
I didnât even realize she was living in such a place ⦠If she doesnât blame me , then who should she blame ? â
Although he knew that these people were speaking up for him , his eyes were still filled with anger .
However , they were right about one thing .
Indeed , he didnât consider things well .
No matter what Elysia wanted to do , he should have supported
her .
Torin hurriedly added , â Elysia , Iâll support you no matter what you want to do .
If you donât want to study , then donât-
â I underestimated you , Elysia ! You managed to make it here .
I thought you were going to sleep the whole day .
â
Before Torin finished speaking , he was interrupted by a voice from his earpiece .
Everyone stopped typing at the same time and looked at the person who spoke on the screen .
It was Rowena .
