Chapter 38
Does Rowena’s behavior count as attempted murder ? )
[ Her sweet and innocent persona is crumbling to dust .
I told you , you can’t trust anyone in the entertainment industry .
Nothing’s real ]
[ Poor Elysial Thank goodness those snakes don’t bite her .
Otherwise , she’d have died in vain .
Attempted murder confirmed .
This video needs to be handed over to the police .
Or maybe we can use it to cancel out Elysia pushing Rowena down the stairs .
Det her go ! ]
[ In your dreams ! Rowena was only thirteen at the time , and she wouldn’t even face charges , kal .
]
Such an audacious claim instantly sparked public outrage .
Viewers unearthed evidence , bombarded her with messages and flooded her phone with relentless calk .
This sudden wave of online backlash trended on social media , silencing even Rowena’s most loyal fans .
Nobody dared use the ‘ she’s just a minor
excuse anymore
“ Did Rowena really say those things ? Torin asked , his voice trembled , hoarse with emotion .
Torin didn’t want to believe it .
No , he couldn’t believe it .
Rowena , whom he had protected for twenty years was capable of being this cruel this cold – hearted .
She had plotted against Elysia , framed her , and even tried to kill her .
Fenwick stood silently nearby , just as stunned .
He never would have thought that their sweet and innocent sister could have such a dark side
But it was too late to turn back now .
The band between Fenwick and Elysia had already been shattered beyond repair .
Fenwick had chosen Rowena , and he had to stand by her no matter what .
He had to accept the mistakes she’d made in the past .
Whatever he owed Elysia , Fenwick would repay .
Whatever Rowena owed , he’d help her make it right .
He just hoped that when Elysia returned , she wouldn’t retaliate against Rowena .
“ Mr.
Drayton , if you don’t trust our methods , then you might as well stop watching now .
” Stellan replied , narrowing her eyes at the two brothers .
Torin seemed desperate to escape the truth .
Fenwick , on the other hand , looked completely brainwashed , showing no trace of anger toward
Rowen
But no one’s disappointment was as profound as Serena’s .
Her furious typing practically set her keyboard on fire , but when she hit send , a red exclamation mark popped up .
You’re banned from commenting for 24 hours
Back to the livestream , Serena couldn’t hold back any longer and blurted , “ Elysia , you bitch ! Are you passed out from feart Or did you die of frighter
At that moment , the perpetrator’s violence was still simmering , her mind consumed by terror .
But when the door opened , Serena’s expectations were shattered .
Elysia , who should have been sobbing and screaming in fear , was instead sitting calmly in the center of the snake pit .
Her ley gaze locked onto Serena , and even the snakes seemed to turn their heads toward the intruder .
Three seconds later …
“ What the hell Elysia , you’re not human ! Serena exclaimed and couldn’t bear the weight of so many eyes staring at her .
Then she bolted , leaving the door wide open .
Soon , Elysia gathered the snakes into her arms happily and carried them out .
By the time Rowena led the teacher to the now – empty equipment room , the teacher frowned .
Rowena , where’s the bullying you mentioned ? ” Roweru hesitated , unable to respond .
The teacher sighed , patting her on the head .
“I’ve got things to take care of at home .
You should head back too , ” she said firmly before leaving
For the first time , Rowena felt genuinely wronged .
But more than anything she was furious : ‘ It had to be Serena who lets Elysia got Stupid ! she multered
“ Damn it , damn it Rowena hissed .
“ Elysia’s going to go home and rat me out .
And if she dies there .
Dad and Torin will investigate for sure .
Rowena continued , “ I need to figure out a way to make sure they don’t let her come back .
”
Aller Rowena finished speaking a cunning smile appeared on her face , sending chills down people’s spines .

Chapter 38
However , the scene didn’t last long and shifted to another side quickly .
Elysia stopped on her way to the cafeteria , glancing back toward the equipment room
After a moment of hesitation , Elysia sighed .
“ I guess I should find you something to eat first , Don’t worry , I won’t tell anyone .
No one’s going to hurt
you
[ The bag moved ! THE BAG MOVED I
[ It’s gotta be snakes .
Oh my god , Elysia amazes me again .
I thought her holding those snakes was wild enough , but now you’re telling me she’s taking them with her ? ]
And she knows they’re venomous ! If it were me , I’d be halfway across campus , grabbing security and reporting those two buches ]
Fenwick frowned deeply and asked , “ Why is she putting venomous snakes in her bag ? She has to be planning to bring them back for revenge ”
“ Isn’t that obvious ? ” Torin replied bisterly .
“ We misunderstood her.
Rowena lied , cheated , and tried to kill her , not once , but multiple times .
Remember when she pushed Elysia off that cliff ? ”
Torin’s voice was laced with sorrow .
He thought about how naive they’d been , chalking Rowena’s actions up to childish impulsiveness .
But now ? To lure Elysia , hire accomplices , purchase venomous snakes , and sull wear that innocent mask ? Even after living under the same roof for Twenty years , Rowena’s calculated cruelly sent a chill down Torin’s spine .
Fenwick clenched his jaw , unable to argue .
I swear Ill never speak to Torin again .
I had to find a way to bring Callan onto my side .
He’s the only one left who may understand , he thought
“ Thank you ” Elysia said politely as she wiped her meal card to buy fifty raw quail eggs .
Finally , Elysia carried the bag past the stares and whispers of her classmates and the cafeteria staff .
Even as she walked ten feet away , their words followed her like a shadow .
“ Isn’t that the girl who stood on the field the other day ? I heard she’s an illegitimate child .
”
“ She’s in our grade .
Rowena’s her little sister .
Rowena is unlucky ! God , what a shame , having such a disgusting freak for a sister ”
The words felt like arrows grazing Elysia’s skin .
They didn’t hurt at first , but the wounds piled up , and the pain became unbearable .
“ Rowena’s more than unlucky .
She’s the nightful daughter of the Drayton family , but an illegitimate sister comes along to steal attention .
On top of that , she’s constantly bullied at home .
If it weren’t for her two brother , who knows what would’ve happened to her ? ”
“ At least here at school , we protect Rowena .
No way would Elysia get the chance to bully her .
”
What made Elysia
even more upset was that her classmates showed sympathy towards Rowena , yet they directed all their malice towards her .
Elysia picked up her pace .
She knew it wasn’t true , none of it was true , but she couldn’t stop herself from listening .
“ Ah ! ” Elysia stumbled and fell , shielding the bag of snakes instinctively
Elysia’s arms took the brunt of the impact , leaving them covered in deep scratches that bled through her sleeves .
It felt like the whisper around her solidified into physical pain .
[ I don’t get it .
Elysia’s not even ugly .
Why can’t she just wash her face and pull her hair back ? ]
[ Maybe she doesn’t care about her looks ! Anyway , people aren’t isolating her because of her appearance ]
[ It’s probably Rowena’s fault .
Last time , didn’t she force Elysia to hide her face by threatening her with her mom’s death ? ]
[ Agreed .
It’s frustrating Elysia’s so much prettier than Rowena but has to hide her face .
It’s so unfair .
]
What nonsense .
Rowena’s clearly prettier .
Look it up on Google if you don’t believe me.
Elysia’s just an ugly drama queen .
