Chapter 56

Chapter 56 The woman in the photo was just over fifty, yet time had been kind to her, leaving few marks on her face. Her skin was fair, and she wore a V–neck sapphire blue dress that accentiused her exceptional grace.

It was clear she had been a top–tier beauty in her youth. With this in mind, Elysia took out a sheet of white paper from her drawer and began to sketch on it The next morning, the atmosphere at Milton School was unusually lively, the entire campus filled with an air of joyous anticipation This was all due to the news that Vincent, a renowned painting master, would be visiting the school the following week to select a student as his final apprentice.

Vincent was a towering figure in the entire country, a luminary in the world of painting. To become his apprentice would mean a future with himitless potential.

Thus, students with a talent for painting were overjoyed upon hearing this news, and they all redoubled their efforts, hoping to be chosen by Vincent Ava’s face lit up when she heard the news. She said, “If I could become Vincent’s apprentice, I would be the luckiest person in the world.”

“You’re just daydreaming. Look at you, where is there a hint of art about your Eric teased “Don’t underestimate me. I do have a foundation in painting.” Ava said, then turned to Elysia and said, “Elysia, will you join me!”

Elysia shook her head and said, “I’m not interested”

a poor village.

Ava thought Elysia had no spare money to cultivate hobbies or special skills? So, Elysia’s rejection was understandable to her.

Although Ava was always carefree, she wasn’t stupid. She wouldn’t do something that would expose someone’s shortcomings and cause embarrassment.

“Elysia, someone’s looking for you outside,” a guy at the door shouted towards Elysia’s direction.

Elysia furrowed her brows, wondering who could it be. She got up and walked towards the door. Upon seeing Elena outside, she was slightly surprised. She asked. “How come you have time to come over?

Elena raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is someone giving you a hard time because of Mia’s matter!”

what Elena was after. She thought, it must’ve been about last night when I asked her to youch for me. She is worried about Elysia immediately got w Thinking this over, Elysia felt warmth. Elena had always been there for her like this. She said, “Just a little family drama. It’s all taken care of now. And I owe it all to you.”

Elena nodded but didn’t say anything. There was a question she’d been hesitant to ask. She wanted to know if the Rosewood family was treating Elysia badly.

But it was Elysia’s family business, no matter what, it wasn’t Elena’s place to interfere too much. The reason Elena came to find Elysia today was because of that phone call last night, If she was right, it seemed like the Smith family had caused some trouble for the Rosewood family, and the Rosewood family didn’t trust what Elysia said. She couldn’t think of any better explanation for what happened.

After Elena left. Ava, who had been keeping an eye on things at the door, suddenly darted out from behind and hugged Elysia.

She asked, “What does Eleru want wir you?”

Elysia replied, “About what happened yesterday, she came over to check on the situation.”

Awa said, “Elena is nice to you”

Elysia thought, ‘Indeed.

soon as she At eight o’clock in the evening. Elysia arrived at the door of room A5302 in the Glory Hotel with the room card given by Emma.

As to opened the door, she was hit by a strong smell of smoke and alcohol The floor was a mess, and on the bed sat four or five men, cach holding a cigarette. They were all balling and in their early thirties.

1/3 12:04 PM Chapter 56 Elysia snorted inwardly. ‘Emma really thought a lot of me, sending me this kind of scum Those men noticed Elysia standing at the door. Their eyes lit up instantly. They remarked inside, She is really good–looking. She is obviously a high–quality girl. We haven’t come across this kind of girl in a long time.”

Acreepy middle–aged man stroked his chin and looked Elysia up and down. He said. “This girl’s got some nice stuff going on Another middle–aged man had already started unbuckling his belt. Seeing this, the other men behind him also began to unbuckle their belts, all the while closing in on Elysia One man said, “Hold her down for me. Let me have some fun first.

“Why should you go first! I want to be the first one,” another middle–aged man said, reaching out to grab Elysia. But before his hand could touch her, Elysia grabbed his hand.

The man’s hand was a bit dark, with some black stuff under his fingernails. It looked really out of place next to Elysia’s hand, which was pale and delicate. The man looked at Elysia’s hand, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

“Hold your horses, babe. I’ll make sure to give you what you want real soon,” he said this while trying to reach out with his other hand to touch the one Elysia had on his Seeing this, Elysia furrowed her brows. She slowly tightened her grip on the man’s hand The man’s face turned uglier by the second. He didn’t expect that someone like Elysia who looked so delicate could have such a strong The others, seeing the man’s expression, snickered, “Can you even do it! If not, let me take over!”

grip.

The man shouted, “Screw you, you’re just all talk! Get over here and help” As soon as he finished his sentence, he heard a crunch sound from his wrist, and his face turned pale as a ghost, cold sweat pouring down.

Elysia forcefully shook off his hand.

The man’s face got even paler. He held his injured hand and glared at the others who were still standing by, barking. “What are you waiting for? Get her!”

Hearing this, other men wiped the drool from their mouths and slowly closed in on Elysia.

One man said, “Don’t you worry, sweetheart. I will be gentle.

Another man shouted, “Damn it! I can’t hold back any longer!”

Elysia looked at the hands reaching for her and kicked out. One man went down, clutching his crotch, tears streaming down from the pain. With another swift move, Elysia grabbed another one’s hand, twisted it back, and after a crunch sound, kicked him flying Looking at the last creepy guy still standing. Elysia stretched a bit. When she was just about to make her move, the man dropped to his knees. The man said, “Mam, I didn’t know who I was messing with. Please, let bygones be bygones. Spare me.”

Flysia didn’t say a word. Instead, she took out some tissues from her pocket and carefully wiped her hands, over and over again e guys who were just moaning on the floor were now too scared to make a peep, just staring at Elysia in shock.

The After what felt like ages, Elysia dropped the tissues on the ground, her eyes cold as ice. She asked, “How much did she pay your The kneeling man was the first to find his voice. He said, “30 thousand dollars.”

Elysia asked, “30 thousand dollars!”

The man said, “Yes. His face drained of all color, and he started shaking uncontrollably. He lived a good chunk of his life and had his fair share of getting pushed around, but never had he felt this humiliated.

He cursed inside, It is all because of that damn woman. Why does she have to send someone like this? Is she trying to get us killed”

Flysia said, “I’ll give you ten times that. Do to her what you were planning to do to me.”
