Chapter 96
Torinâs
eyes darkened .
He immediately took out his phone and called his assistant .
The assistant , who was playing a matching game while squatting on the toilet , hesitated for a moment before pulling up his pants and heading out .
â Take Leah Mason to court ! â Torin said .
As soon as the call connected , he heard his boss say that .
But just as he wanted to ask for more details , Torin immediately hung up the phone to make sure he didnât miss a single moment of the livestream .
The assistant was left in confusion .
Looking at the 300 results for Leah Mason that came up in the search , he thought , â Which one was Mr.
Drayton referring to ? And what about the reason ? Without a reason , how am I supposed to have a subpoena issued ? â
On the screen , Elysia was so angry that she was visibly trembling , but she still endured until Leah finished speaking .
Just as she was about to insist on asking for surveillance footage and fingerprints to be checked , the bell rang .
Examinees appeared in the corridor one after another , secretly sizing up this strange scene .
Looking at this situation , a hint of joy immediately appeared on Leahâs serious face .
â There are only fifteen minutes left until the exam begins , â she said .
â I wonât hold someone accountable for what happened today .
This student , please leave immediately .
Otherwise , Iâll cancel your exam qualification for barging into the exam hall .
â
Her voice was neither loud nor soft .
The students who were watching the drama from the side heard that and started discussing it softly .
â Oh my god , she barged into the exam hall ? The teacher let her off just like that ? â
â This woman is really something .
Not only did she cheat , but she also dared to challenge the teacher here .
Sheâs really stupid .
â
â I canât see her face clearly .
Did you bring your phone ? Let me zoom in and take a look .
Iâll also post it in the group chat to let everyone see this cheater .
Sheâll be ashamed , and I want to see how she will handle the situation in the future .
â
â Yep .
Hurry up and take the photos .
She will leave soon .
â
Elysia could no longer endure such humiliation and accusations .
Disregarding everything , she ran out with all her might .
However , even though she had run off quickly , no one was willing to let her off along the way .
They said , â Cheating .
Abortion .
Indecent .
â
There was even a new rumor pinned on her .
People said she seduced her senior schoolmate .
Elysia suddenly had Stellan on her mind , and she thought , â Could it be that our encounter got leaked ? Or was it deliberate on his part ?
â But ⦠why ? Why did all of these things happen ?
â Maybe I shouldnât have interrupted Ms.
Mason earlier ? I shouldnât have questioned her like that , or maybe I shouldnât have unrealistically thought that I could take revenge on Rowena .
â Yes , Rowena .
â Every time I try to bring her down , the world always seems to side with her .
Why ?
Is it because she has spent ten more years with Dad and my brothers than I have , or is it because she has successfully snatched my position as the heiress of the Drayton family ?
â Everyone sees me as the illegitimate daughter trying to take what isnât mine .
Elysia ran along the road without stopping , her pace becoming faster and faster .
Eventually , her body gradually became exhausted .
Eventually , she rushed into a restroom , bent down , cupped a handful of cold water in her hands , and splashed it onto her face without hesitation .
The water hit her cheeks , bringing her back to the present from her chaotic thinking .
She stared at her reflection in the mirror .
Her thick bangs were dampened by the water .
They stuck to her temples, revealing her pale and haggard face as well as those eyes that showed endless sorrow .

â But Iâm Dadâs biological daughter , â she said .
â Iâm the biological sister of my brothers ⦠But even they are unwilling to help me .
Thereâs no way other people would believe me then .
â
Elysia muttered to herself .
His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible .
This remark made everyone in the livestream feel heartbroken .
[ Everyone thinks sheâs an illegitimate daughter .
Even Ms.
Olson , who loves her the most , thinks she is an illegitimate daughter too .
I donât believe this has nothing to do with the Drayton family .
If they had announced it to the public when Elysia returned home , how could things have turned out like this ? ]
[ Humph , they wouldnât even want to throw a birthday party for Elysia , and they made it public , eager to hide this biological daughter and sister from the countryside from others .
]
[ This is too much .
How could they give such a beautiful child such an ugly look ? Parents in Fuvre are really bizarre .
They should have let her participate in a talent show .
]
[ Uh â uh .
I think sheâs from our country .
People from Fuvre canât possibly be this beautiful .
They must have taken someone from our country and are afraid of being found out , so they deliberately made her look ugly .
]
[ Oh please .
You all have taken so much of our culture .
Isnât it enough ? Now , youâre even taking our people ! But I also suspect that sheâs not Rupertâs biological daughter .
Maybe itâs Valerie who cuckolded him .
No offense intended .
I totally support this theory ! ]
As soon as these comments showed up in the livestream , they created a chain of effects that could not be stopped .
Combining this with all the actions of the Drayton family , everyone increasingly felt that Elysia was not Rupertâs biological daughter .
The buzz grew so intense that a new hashtag suddenly appeared on Twitter and became a trending topic .
[ Mr.
Drayton has been cuckolded for twenty years , holding a grudge and mistreating a minor .
]
The first part of the trending topic made Rupert a laughingstock , while the second part made him the target of public criticism .
â Mr.
Drayton , bad news ! There are more and more public opinions online .
Someone said ⦠said that you â¦â
Rupert , who was thinking with his eyes closed , opened his eyes in displeasure and looked at the assistant who barged in without knocking .
Looking at the displeased Rupert , the assistant became even more fearful to speak .
Rupert frowned .
Taking advantage of the moment when the person in front of him was hesitating , he zoned out again .
For some reason , he had been dreaming about strange things these two days , but he forgot about them as soon as he woke up , only remembering that the dreams felt very real .
He was thinking about those dreams earlier , but unfortunately , his effort to recall the things he had dreamed yielded no result .
He couldnât shake off the feeling that he had forgotten something important .
The harder he tried to think , the more he couldnât recall , until his assistant said , â Mr.
Drayton , Iâd better go look for the paternity test report you did with Elysia previously .
â
Rupert waved helplessly and said , â Forget it .
You can go now .
Iâll look for it myself .
â
He unlocked his phone .
The trending topic was clearly filled with rumors that he had been cuckolded .
â Damn it , he thought .
â Itâs that livestream again .
I didnât watch it for just one morning , and this huge mess happened .
Looks like I have to watch it with Torin and Fenwick .
With me watching , no one would dare to spread rumors .
Rupert decisively picked up his coat and drove in the direction of the television tower .
When he arrived at the studio and came into the cameraâs view , he happened to see the scene playing on the huge screen .
It was Elysia checking her results , and the laptop she was using seemed to be the one Rupert had used before .
The good impression he initially had of Elysia instantly disappeared .
He had thought that she was essentially kind and that the bad things she had done were all just things Rowena had slandered her for .
But unexpectedly â¦
â Humph , I saw my good daughter stealing my laptop the moment I arrived , â Rupert mocked without hesitation .
Fenwick looked in the direction of the voice .
Upon seeing Rupert , he shouted in surprise , â Dad , how come you are here ? â

Chapter 96
Now , all the foreigners in the livestream knew that this man was the father of the beautiful girl on the screen .
[ Oh my God , how can such an ordinary and shabby man be the father of this angel ? Even the collar chain my dog wears is more expensive than his watch .
Letâs not even talk about the laptop used by the angel , which is so shabby .
Itâs really pathetic .
Even though she picked up a shabby laptop , people called it stealing .
]
[ How disgusting .
He didnât bother watching the previous livestream to understand the full context , and now he comes in and starts accusing Elysia of stealing his laptop .
]
[ Thatâs right .
This laptop was clearly picked up by Elysia from the trash can and fixed .
How dare he say Elysia stole it ? ]
Torin knew that his father could not see the comments clearly due to his poor eyesight , so he immediately stood up and explained , â This laptop was indeed picked up from the trash can by Elysia .
Dad , youâve misunderstood .
