The live stream continued .
Rowena didn’t dare argue with Elysia , worried that it would draw attention and risk Elysia losing her temper and playing the recording for everyone .
That would be a disaster .
ང་ ཐོག་
In her eyes , her position in the Drayton family was insignificant compared to her goal of marrying into the Rookwood family and becoming Stellan’s wife .
Her reputation was critical .
Under no circumstances could she let Stellan find out about this .
After considering the pros and cons , Rowena suggested .
“ Fine .
I promise I won’t harm your
r father anymore , okay ? Just delete that recording ”
Elysia didn’t respond .
She simply shot her a look that said .
“ Do you think I’m an idiot
Rowena was fuming inside , but she couldn’t let it show .
Instead , she waved her hand dismissively and pretended to act nonchalant .
“ Sure , go ahead and play it for him if you have the guts .
Worst case .
I’ll cry a little , hurt myself , and bleed a bit .
That stupid Rupert will definitely believe me , and that’ll be the end of it , ” said Rowena
This statement , broadcast to an audience of billions , was a painful humiliation to Rupert’s intelligence .
Elysia knew her father all too well .
He really was as gullible as Rowena claimed .
If she wanted him to hear the recording , she would need to pick the right moment , and that moment would have to be when Rowena wasn’t present .
Otherwise , Rowena would only cling to him more tightly and make up a mountain of lies before she could even act .
With this in mind , Elysia decided to play along for now .
She smiled and agreed , “ Alright , I won’t tell Dad .
But from now on , you’re not allowed to harm him or anyone else in the family …
Thinking it was an easy concession , Rowena was overjoyed .
She interrupted eagerly .
“ Deall Now delete the recording ”
Elysia saw the smugness in Rowena’s eyes and knew exactly what she was thinking .
Breaking promises was Rowena’s specialty .
With a faint laugh , Elysia added , “ But I want to see you pour out all the poison you have with my own eyes .
And , transfer all the money in your account to Dad , Turin , or Fenwick , just any one of them .
”
Rowena clenched her fists and agreed through gritted teeth .
Elysia left the room without locking the door .
She watched as Rowena poured a packet of white powder down the drain and , under her watchful eyes , transferred all the money in her bank account to Fenwick .
The original note on the transfer read “ Happy Holidays , but she changed in midway to “ Happy early birthday , Fenwick .
” When she ran out of characters , she settled for a simple “ Happy birthday , Fenwick .
”
Finally , Elysia deleted the recording from her phone in front of the live stream audience .
Suddenly , countless viewers expressed their frustration , practically scolding Elysia with exasperation .
[ Unbelievable ! How could she just delete such an important recording ? So what if Rowena poured out the poison and transferred the money With the kind of allowance she gets every month , she could just buy more poison if she wants ! ]
[ Elysia , you’re so foolish ! How could you believe anything Rowena says ? ]
[ Elysia is too naive .
I used to doubt she was Rupert’s biological daughter , but now I believe it This whole family shares the same level of stupidity ! No wonder she gets bullied .
Honestly , she deserves it .
) .
Among so many angry people , only Fenwick was in distress .
He realized the money Rowena had transferred to him wasn’t because of his birthday
Though it was just a few thousand dollars , he had felt happy for a long time , thinking Rowena had remembered his birthday .
The entire family had been preoccupied with her graduation party that day .
Even their father and brother had forgotten his birthday .
Just as everyone assumed the matter was over , the live stream abruptly shifted its focus from Elysia to Rowena .
Her face was no longer as downcast as moments ago .
Instead , it was now full of smug delight as she cheerfully said to herself , “ What an idiot , Elysia I already used up all that poison ages ago ! ”
She continued gleefully .
“ If Dad hadn’t pressured me to get first place in the county on the Scholstic Assessment Test in front of the media the other day and to compete in all those rubbish competitions , I wouldn’t have rushed things .
This is all his fault .
Hmph , I guess things worked out by

chance :
Rowena’s smile widened at the thought .
She had no interest in studying and found it boring and pointless .
Only poor people need to study to change their fate .
A wealthy heiress like me is destined to become the most famous socialite in Stoneford .
I don’t need to study !” Rowena pondered .
She poured slightly and expressed a bit of regret .
“ It’s such a shame about the poisoned pollen , though
Frowning in confusion , she muttered , “ But I fed it to Caellan yesterday .
Why hasn’t he gone blind yet ? Could it be … the dose wasn’t strong enought ”
As she headed toward the banquet hall , she paused suddenly , recalling the scene of Elysia bleeding earlier .
Her eyes widened in realization , and she gasped aloud , “ Could it be ….
her freakish blood neutralized it ? What’s the phrase … one – and – done ? ”
Clenching her fists in frustration , she growled , “ Damn it ! One of these days , I’ll hire someone from the dark web to study her blood and sell her off That’ll save me the constant headache ! ”
When Rowena pushed open the banquet hall doors , the screen froze on her expression , and the live stream shifted back to Elysia .
Coincidentally , Elysia had just stopped in front of her bedroom door .
She was biting her lip hard and clenched her fists tightly .
Her whole body trembling slightly .
Rowena’s words had pushed her to the brink of rage .
She even forgot that Stellan was still in the room as she walked straight in .
Then she took out her phone and worked on it for a while
After the audience saw what was done , they were utterly stunned .
[ Oh my god ! She jusst restored the recording ! ]
[ Elysia , you’re my hero ! Those who insulted her just now come out and apologize now !
[ Wait , what ! If she is so tech – savvy , why didn’t she say so earlier ? We were worried sick for hert Leven thought she’d wasted our emotional Investment .
