Chapter 93
Despite the intense physical and mental torment Elysia endured , she still managed to pick up her pen steadily and calmly focus on writing down the answers to every question on the test paper .
What was even more shocking was that her writing speed was extremely fast , moving from one question to the next without a single pause .
This was mathematics .
Even a top student would have to stop and think for a minute before writing , yet she could effortlessly write down the steps taken to solve the final , most challenging question at the end of the test paper .
[ Amazing .
Elysiaâs mental composure doesnât seem like that of a child , let alone one going through adolescence .
]
[ Wait a second .
If I remember correctly , that yearâs placement test had the hardest math paper ever .
The final question was even beyond the syllabus .
Were the answers Elysia wrote correct ? She looked so at case while writing ⦠She couldnât be scribbling nonsense , right ? ]
[ If sheâs just scribbling nonsense , donât air it .
There are so many foreigners watching .
Itâs so embarrassing .
]
[ What a miracle .
Iâve long heard that people from Fuvre are great at math , but I never expected them to be this exceptionally good .
The difficulty of this question has already reached our countryâs university level .
How can you all bear to treat this genius like this ? Can I adopt her ? ]
[ Did you all forget why Rowena was able to rank first in the entire school before ? ]
Torin was also a mathematical genius .
To him , these questions were just average , but he was amazed by the speed and accuracy with which Elysia solved them .
God knew how shocked he was when he saw Elysia finding the most suitable solution to these questions without any pause .
â My sister is a genius ⦠My sister is a genius ! â
Torin first muttered to himself , then shouted excitedly , but unfortunately , it was all too late .
The final day of the placement test had arrived , and students would take the exam for the last subject .
Elysia walked into the campus as usual under many strange gazes .
However , she could turn a blind eye to them all , maintaining her upright posture and walking with confident strides .
She responded with a blank expression , countering every classmate who made a gesture of disdain toward her .
It was as if she knew that these peopleâs opinions of her were already deeply ingrained .
There was no need to explain , nor was there a need to explain .
This was because she believed that her abilities and worth were never determined by others , and she did not need to rely on others â approval to prove herself .
â Elysia ? I heard that you missed the exam a few days ago ? â
A force suddenly landed on Elysiaâs shoulder from behind .
It was a very familiar male voice .
But before she could immediately recall who it was , she instinctively turned her head .
â How , how come itâs you ? â
Upon seeing that personâs face , Elysia involuntarily recoiled .
The calm demeanor she had just moments ago vanished without a trace , and she was visibly nervous .
â â â Why canât it be me ? Didnât Rupert ask me to come pick you up at school ? I happened to have something on , so I came a little early .
â â *
It was Stellan , but it was Stellan from seven years ago .
As he saw Elysia avoid him like the plague , his eyes clearly showed more curiosity .
Elysia gulped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty as she stared intently at the young man in front of her .
Today , he was not wearing the schoolâs standard uniform .
Instead , he was wearing a simple and clean short â sleeved white T â shirt and casual pants of the same color .
â Why are you so afraid of me ? There are people around .
If they didnât know any better ⦠they might think youâre carrying my child .
â
Stellan thought of the things posted in the grade group chat and teased without thinking , even though he had guessed that they were all untrue .

â Click â
The sudden sound of a camera shutter reached their ears .
Stellan squinted and said , â This is not the right place to talk .
People around us are watching .
Letâs go somewhere else â
Stellan reached out to her as he spoke and slowly approached her .
At this moment , the figures of the two people slowly overlapped and merged in Elysiaâs mind .
The man , holding a syringe , slowly moved closer to her .
Even though she had already escaped , the fear still lingered in her heart , making her tremble involuntarily .
Elysia wanted to escape , but her legs felt as if they were nailed to the ground , and she could not move at all .
When the distance between them was less than four inches , she finally couldnât take it anymore and shouted , â Donât come over ! â
Upon hearing this , Stellanâs steps faltered for a moment .
It happened to give Elysia a chance to regain her composure .
She quickly turned around and fled in a sorry state .
Although this scene only lasted for three minutes , it still aroused the curiosity of many netizens .
Coincidentally , the person involved was here , so they simply typed frantically and asked .
[ Stellan , what exactly did you do to Elysia ? Sheâs so afraid of you .
]
[ Somethingâs off here , so there must be a reason .
Stellan , are you afraid that we will scold you , so you deliberately didnât show us the bad things you did to her ? ]
[ That makes sense .
Iâve never liked him before , and heâs saying such things again today .
Heâs an off â putting guy , really a total downer .
]
Looking at these comments , Stellan opened his mouth before closing it again .
He chose to remain silent .
He was very different from the lively â looking young man in the footage .
However , Torin would not let him off so readily .
He strode forward , grabbed him by the collar , lifted him , and questioned him .
â What exactly did you do to my sister ? â
â Would you believe me if I were to say I didnât know ? â Stellan replied without a pause .
Even when meeting Torinâs fierce gaze , he continued without any fear , â I donât have to lie to you .
If I wanted to clear myself of any blame , I wouldnât have played this clip , right ? â
At this moment , Fenwick came over and pulled Torin away , reasoning with him .
â Torin , hurry up and let go of ⦠our ⦠brother â in â law .
No matter what , heâs Elysiaâs fiancé .
â
These three words were extremely difficult for him to say .
After all , he had just announced not long ago that he would never acknowledge Stellan as his â brother â in â law â .
He even scolded him for repaying kindness with ingratitude .
This was because in his eyes , Stellan had always been Rowenaâs fiancé , until he suddenly showed up to propose , and the bride â to â be turned out to be Elysia instead .
However , in Fenwickâs eyes , Elysia was not worthy of being his sister at all , especially considering that she dared to snatch the man Rowena loved â¦
In the end , it turned out that Stellan had already known it was Elysia who saved him , and he also knew that Rowena always bullied Elysia .
Yet , Rowena had been lying to them , saying that she was the one who saved Stellan and that Elysia had seduced the man she loved ,
Fenwick suddenly felt that every time he helped Rowena scold Stellan for being an ingrate , he was foolish .
He sat back in his seat without saying a word and began to zone out .
â If you hurt Elysia , I will never let her marry you ,â Torin said .
With that said , he snorted and slowly returned to his seat .

Chapter 93
Only Stellan was left standing still in disheveled clothes , his eyes filled with desolation .
Torin , Fenwick , and nearly everyone in the Drayton family , along with the media , tacitly accepted him as Elysiaâs husband .
But only he knew that it was all one â sided , nothing but self â deception .
He should have anticipated this long ago , given that he had made so many mistakes .
As Stellan couldnât provide a proper explanation , everyone instantly lost interest and continued watching the livestream .
Elysia ran for a long time .
Along the way , many people pulled out their phones and started taking photos of her .
The sound of â click , click â echoed continuously , like the incantation of a demon that wouldnât let go of her .
It was not until she finally found an empty corridor that she dared to stop and catch her breath .
The moment she stopped in her tracks , her body seemed to have lost its support .
She then slumped onto the ground and breathed heavily , so much so that she did not pay attention to the nearby caution tape that had been torn .
Her eyes were vacant , and her thoughts had long drifted back to the conversation she had with Stellan carlier .
She thought , â Dad asked Stellan to pick me up ? But why did he ask Stellan ? â
Just as Elysia was deep in thought , a voice suddenly came from nearby .
â Ms.
Mason , itâs right there .
I just saw a student tear down the caution tape and enter the exam hall .
Iâm not sure if she is trying to cheat at her seat .
This is so unfair to us ! â
Elysia suddenly got up from the ground and looked around blankly .
A red â and â white caution tape was rolled into a bundle and placed next to the fire hydrant .
She thought , â No wonder , no wonder thereâs no one here .
I actually ran to the exam hall before the exam started ! â
However , it was too late to leave now because Rowenaâs face had already appeared in her sight .
That remark earlier had been made by Rowena .
â Ms.
Mason , look ! Sure enough , sheâs here ! â
Then , Leah Mason , who was an invigilator dressed in a formal suit , appeared .
She first sized up Elysia, who was standing against the wall , at a loss .
Then , she walked to the side and picked up the caution tape that had been torn off violently , along with the small note beside Elysia .
A sense of premonition surged up in Elysiaâs heart , but her rationality told her not to act rashly .
At such a moment , the more she should be calm , explain clearly to the teacher , and everything would surely â¦
â Could this cheating examinee please come with me ? â Leah said .
