Chapter 92
At some point , the scene had shifted from the car to the storeroom in the classroom .
Rowena continued , â How does it feel ? It doesnât feel good to be punished by the teacher and made to sweep the floor , right ? Well , you asked for it .
You even missed the first subject of the placement test .
â
At this moment , it seemed that students had completed the exam for one subject .
The sound of students discussing the questions could faintly be heard .
Even Rowena happened to appear in front of Elysia , though it seemed more like Rowena had specifically come to find her than a mere coincidence .
After all , who would run into someone in a place filled with brooms and mops ?
When Elysia pretended not to hear and was about to pick up the broom , Rowena stepped on it and said , â How dare you ignore me ? â
â Rowena , what else do you want ? â Elysia said .
â Oversleeping on the day of the exam is my mistake , so I deserve to be punished by the teacher .
Are you pleased now ? â
As Elysia was speaking , she squeezed her hand that she had just unclenched with lingering fear ,
Fortunately , she reacted quickly .
Otherwise , she would have fallen to the floor like this broom .
Rowena could not help but laugh when she heard that .
â You actually think that you overslept .
â
Elysia frowned and asked , â What do you mean ? â
She thought , Wasnât it because I was sick that I overslept ? And ⦠how come Rowena thought I would sleep the whole day earlier ? But Iâve been carefully avoiding Rowena these past few days , not even seeing her .
Thereâs no way she could do anything to me .
Countless questions surged into her mind .
Elysia felt her heart beating faster and faster .
An inexplicable sense of fluster gradually overcame her , so she couldnât help but repeat , â What exactly do you mean ? â
Rowena , on the other hand , did not seem to be in a hurry to answer her question .
She just continued to look at her with a mocking gaze , as if enjoying her confusion and uneasiness .
There was a full three minutes of stalemate .
Just as Elysia was about to run off , Rowena spoke up .
â Of course , itâs my good brother who helped me .
Gummy candies are yummy , right ? I spent about 100 dollars to buy sleep aid medication at the pharmacy .
â
Elysia thought , â S â sleep aid medication ? â
Her head buzzed , and her limbs instantly stiffened .
It was as if she was listening to an obscure incantation â¦
Meanwhile , outside the screen , Caellan , who was sitting in Emmaâs office catching up on homework , felt as if he had been whipped upon hearing those words .
Without caring about anything else , he rushed up to Emma , snatched her phone , and stared intently at Rowenaâs mouth on the screen .
She had finally stopped talking .
Rowena noticed that Elysia was unexpectedly quiet , with none of the loud commotion she had anticipated , so she pushed Elysiaâs shoulder in frustration .
She said , â Why ? You donât believe me , huh ? The people at the pharmacy said that this is called melatonin .
Not only does it look like gummy candy , but it also tastes like gummy candy .
Unfortunately ⦠itâs not candy .
Itâs a drug that promotes sleep .
â If you hadnât cured Caellanâs eyes , I wouldnât have been able to use him .
Youâre regretting it now , right ? â
As soon as Rowena said the first sentence , Caellan had already started cursing in front of the screen .
â Shut up ! â he said .
â Shut up ! Stop talking ! Bitch , youâre not allowed to talk anymore ! â
Even though he knew that this would not have any effect on what had already happened , he still shouted desperately .

Veins popped up on his neck and forehead .
Coupled with his bruised and swollen face , it was an extremely terrifying sight .
â Youâre regretting it now , â Emma muttered .
â What did you do back then ? â
There was nothing she could do about him at the moment .
After all , he was unwilling to go to the hospital and refused to go home .
But in his current state , he couldnât continue with the class .
So , Emma had no choice but to pull him into the office.
She played the livestream and let him sit at the side to catch up on his homework , thinking this would make him behave for a while .
However , he was still acting like this .
Because of this , Emma even started to suspect that Caellanâs bipolar disorder had not been completely cured .
On the screen , no matter how unwilling Elysia was to believe it , under Rowenaâs â careful and patient explanation , â she was finally willing to face the reality .
â So , I swallowed eighteen gummy candies that had sleep aid medication yesterday , and they were given to me by Caellan , my precious younger brother ,â she thought .
This realization made Elysiaâs body tremble involuntarily , and a strong sense of despair surged in her heart .
Her face instantly turned extremely pale , and a wave of nausea hit her throat .
She covered her mouth , her body uncontrollably bending over as she began to retch violently .
Rowena didnât expect that after just saying two sentences , Elysia couldnât handle it .
She quickly took out her phone and started recording .
After finishing the recording , she flaunted it smugly .
â I have proof of your morning sickness now .
Youâd better think carefully about whether you want to help me take the exam .
Oh , I almost forgot .
Iâve already asked the second â best student in the grade to help me .
As long as you donât take the exam for one subject , the top spot will definitely be mine this time .
â Since you are of no use now , thereâs no need for me to keep this video .
â
Elysia suddenly looked up and widened her eyes , as if questioning what Rowena wanted to do , yet she saw Rowena pressing the send button â¦
The rumor not only didnât fade with the passage of time but actually reached its peak on the first day of the placement test .
Everyone was sharing the video , mocking and insulting her .
The topic of Elysiaâs early romance and pregnancy spread throughout the entire school , both middle and high school divisions , leading to the first cyberbullying experience she endured during her student years .
For Elysia , this was undoubtedly the second nightmare she encountered during her student years .
Netizens were stunned by Rowenaâs actions , including students who studied at Ridgewood Middle School seven years ago .
[ So thatâs how that video came about ⦠I thought Elysia was really pregnant , but it turns out it was fake .
I even scolded her before .
Oh my god ! Itâs all Rowenaâs fault .
How awful ! ]
[ Looks like the commenter above is really the type who only learns after things get serious .
The video was already out before , Elysia went to the hospital for emergency treatment , not for an abortion at all .
]
[ The cost of spreading rumors is too low , and humans more or less have a curious mentality .
They are always interested and curious about strange and sensational things .
In fact , even if this video wasnât broadcasted , many people would still have believed the rumor and discussed it with their friends .
]
[ But this video just happened to intensify the spread of the rumors , didnât it ? And the one who started all of this was Rowena .
At the age of 15 , she was already able to incite others to cyberbully her sister .
Truly impressive .
Iâve learned something new about the way the Drayton family raises their kids .
]
Netizens had differing opinions .
Some thought Rowena was at fault , but most believe that the bigger fault lay with those in the school who couldnât tell right from wrong .
Others also felt that Rowena was in the wrong , but the students in the school were innocent .
They were just used by public opinion ,
It was always like this .
When it did not concern them , they remained indifferent .
Only when something happened to someone else did people assume a god â like perspective , pretending to be objective and just while judging others .
They could judge anyone , but never themselves .

Chapter 92
The scene flickered , showing Elysia getting criticized from all directions as she walked .
â Thatâs her , right ⦠She got pregnant at sixteen , had morning sickness in the classroom , and even went to the hospital for an abortion .
â
â I heard the father of the baby was a thug from outside the school , one of those neon â haired guys who hang around the school gate .
I donât know who the father of the baby is .
â
â I think she doesnât even know .
After all , arenât she and those people â¦
Her hearing was extraordinary , but at this moment , everyoneâs earpieces lost sounds .
They thought their speakers or earpieces were broken , so they hurriedly turned the volume to the maximum .
Just then , the scene changed .
It was the scene of Elysia taking out her phone .
â Ahhh ⦠â A sharp female scream came from her phone in that instant .
The sound returned , but many peopleâs speakers were still at the maximum volume .
Their ears were about to burst .
They instinctively scrunched up their faces and covered their ears .
Just as they lowered the volume , a photo of a dead baby popped up on the screen .
The screams instantly shifted from the phone to them â¦
However , this was not the end .
The most despairing thing was that the teacher cast mocking glances at Elysia .
Not just one glance , or two , but
three â¦
Elysia ran and ran â¦
But this was a school , and there were people everywhere .
She could not escape .
In the end , she was cornered by a group of people whose faces could not be seen clearly .
Elysia kept curling up â¦
However , even though she had already curled up into a small ball , no one was willing to let her off .
Those people surrounded her , mocking , insulting , and even touching her .
As her family , none of them knew about all of this .
They clearly lived under the same roof , but there seemed to be an uncrossable chasm between them , which was dug out by their own hands , little by little .
Torin was already in so much pain that he couldnât even cry .
The pain he was feeling was not only due to empathizing with Elysiaâs pain , but it was primarily from his own personal emotional turmoil .
At this moment , his facial features were ferocious , and his hands were tightly gripping the collar of his clothes .
He had nowhere to vent his grief .
