Chapter 92
At some point , the scene had shifted from the car to the storeroom in the classroom .
Rowena continued , “ How does it feel ? It doesn’t feel good to be punished by the teacher and made to sweep the floor , right ? Well , you asked for it .
You even missed the first subject of the placement test .
”
At this moment , it seemed that students had completed the exam for one subject .
The sound of students discussing the questions could faintly be heard .
Even Rowena happened to appear in front of Elysia , though it seemed more like Rowena had specifically come to find her than a mere coincidence .
After all , who would run into someone in a place filled with brooms and mops ?
When Elysia pretended not to hear and was about to pick up the broom , Rowena stepped on it and said , “ How dare you ignore me ? ”
“ Rowena , what else do you want ? ” Elysia said .
“ Oversleeping on the day of the exam is my mistake , so I deserve to be punished by the teacher .
Are you pleased now ? ”
As Elysia was speaking , she squeezed her hand that she had just unclenched with lingering fear ,
Fortunately , she reacted quickly .
Otherwise , she would have fallen to the floor like this broom .
Rowena could not help but laugh when she heard that .
“ You actually think that you overslept .
”
Elysia frowned and asked , “ What do you mean ? ”
She thought , Wasn’t it because I was sick that I overslept ? And … how come Rowena thought I would sleep the whole day earlier ? But I’ve been carefully avoiding Rowena these past few days , not even seeing her .
There’s no way she could do anything to me .
Countless questions surged into her mind .
Elysia felt her heart beating faster and faster .
An inexplicable sense of fluster gradually overcame her , so she couldn’t help but repeat , “ What exactly do you mean ? ”
Rowena , on the other hand , did not seem to be in a hurry to answer her question .
She just continued to look at her with a mocking gaze , as if enjoying her confusion and uneasiness .
There was a full three minutes of stalemate .
Just as Elysia was about to run off , Rowena spoke up .
“ Of course , it’s my good brother who helped me .
Gummy candies are yummy , right ? I spent about 100 dollars to buy sleep aid medication at the pharmacy .
”
Elysia thought , ‘ S – sleep aid medication ? ‘
Her head buzzed , and her limbs instantly stiffened .
It was as if she was listening to an obscure incantation …
Meanwhile , outside the screen , Caellan , who was sitting in Emma’s office catching up on homework , felt as if he had been whipped upon hearing those words .
Without caring about anything else , he rushed up to Emma , snatched her phone , and stared intently at Rowena’s mouth on the screen .
She had finally stopped talking .
Rowena noticed that Elysia was unexpectedly quiet , with none of the loud commotion she had anticipated , so she pushed Elysia’s shoulder in frustration .
She said , “ Why ? You don’t believe me , huh ? The people at the pharmacy said that this is called melatonin .
Not only does it look like gummy candy , but it also tastes like gummy candy .
Unfortunately … it’s not candy .
It’s a drug that promotes sleep .
“ If you hadn’t cured Caellan’s eyes , I wouldn’t have been able to use him .
You’re regretting it now , right ? ”
As soon as Rowena said the first sentence , Caellan had already started cursing in front of the screen .
“ Shut up ! ” he said .
“ Shut up ! Stop talking ! Bitch , you’re not allowed to talk anymore ! ”
Even though he knew that this would not have any effect on what had already happened , he still shouted desperately .

Veins popped up on his neck and forehead .
Coupled with his bruised and swollen face , it was an extremely terrifying sight .
“ You’re regretting it now , ” Emma muttered .
“ What did you do back then ? ”
There was nothing she could do about him at the moment .
After all , he was unwilling to go to the hospital and refused to go home .
But in his current state , he couldn’t continue with the class .
So , Emma had no choice but to pull him into the office.
She played the livestream and let him sit at the side to catch up on his homework , thinking this would make him behave for a while .
However , he was still acting like this .
Because of this , Emma even started to suspect that Caellan’s bipolar disorder had not been completely cured .
On the screen , no matter how unwilling Elysia was to believe it , under Rowena’s “ careful and patient explanation , ” she was finally willing to face the reality .
‘ So , I swallowed eighteen gummy candies that had sleep aid medication yesterday , and they were given to me by Caellan , my precious younger brother ,’ she thought .
This realization made Elysia’s body tremble involuntarily , and a strong sense of despair surged in her heart .
Her face instantly turned extremely pale , and a wave of nausea hit her throat .
She covered her mouth , her body uncontrollably bending over as she began to retch violently .
Rowena didn’t expect that after just saying two sentences , Elysia couldn’t handle it .
She quickly took out her phone and started recording .
After finishing the recording , she flaunted it smugly .
“ I have proof of your morning sickness now .
You’d better think carefully about whether you want to help me take the exam .
Oh , I almost forgot .
I’ve already asked the second – best student in the grade to help me .
As long as you don’t take the exam for one subject , the top spot will definitely be mine this time .
“ Since you are of no use now , there’s no need for me to keep this video .
”
Elysia suddenly looked up and widened her eyes , as if questioning what Rowena wanted to do , yet she saw Rowena pressing the send button …
The rumor not only didn’t fade with the passage of time but actually reached its peak on the first day of the placement test .
Everyone was sharing the video , mocking and insulting her .
The topic of Elysia’s early romance and pregnancy spread throughout the entire school , both middle and high school divisions , leading to the first cyberbullying experience she endured during her student years .
For Elysia , this was undoubtedly the second nightmare she encountered during her student years .
Netizens were stunned by Rowena’s actions , including students who studied at Ridgewood Middle School seven years ago .
[ So that’s how that video came about … I thought Elysia was really pregnant , but it turns out it was fake .
I even scolded her before .
Oh my god ! It’s all Rowena’s fault .
How awful ! ]
[ Looks like the commenter above is really the type who only learns after things get serious .
The video was already out before , Elysia went to the hospital for emergency treatment , not for an abortion at all .
]
[ The cost of spreading rumors is too low , and humans more or less have a curious mentality .
They are always interested and curious about strange and sensational things .
In fact , even if this video wasn’t broadcasted , many people would still have believed the rumor and discussed it with their friends .
]
[ But this video just happened to intensify the spread of the rumors , didn’t it ? And the one who started all of this was Rowena .
At the age of 15 , she was already able to incite others to cyberbully her sister .
Truly impressive .
I’ve learned something new about the way the Drayton family raises their kids .
]
Netizens had differing opinions .
Some thought Rowena was at fault , but most believe that the bigger fault lay with those in the school who couldn’t tell right from wrong .
Others also felt that Rowena was in the wrong , but the students in the school were innocent .
They were just used by public opinion ,
It was always like this .
When it did not concern them , they remained indifferent .
Only when something happened to someone else did people assume a god – like perspective , pretending to be objective and just while judging others .
They could judge anyone , but never themselves .

Chapter 92
The scene flickered , showing Elysia getting criticized from all directions as she walked .
“ That’s her , right … She got pregnant at sixteen , had morning sickness in the classroom , and even went to the hospital for an abortion .
”
“ I heard the father of the baby was a thug from outside the school , one of those neon – haired guys who hang around the school gate .
I don’t know who the father of the baby is .
”
“ I think she doesn’t even know .
After all , aren’t she and those people …
Her hearing was extraordinary , but at this moment , everyone’s earpieces lost sounds .
They thought their speakers or earpieces were broken , so they hurriedly turned the volume to the maximum .
Just then , the scene changed .
It was the scene of Elysia taking out her phone .
“ Ahhh … ” A sharp female scream came from her phone in that instant .
The sound returned , but many people’s speakers were still at the maximum volume .
Their ears were about to burst .
They instinctively scrunched up their faces and covered their ears .
Just as they lowered the volume , a photo of a dead baby popped up on the screen .
The screams instantly shifted from the phone to them …
However , this was not the end .
The most despairing thing was that the teacher cast mocking glances at Elysia .
Not just one glance , or two , but
three …
Elysia ran and ran …
But this was a school , and there were people everywhere .
She could not escape .
In the end , she was cornered by a group of people whose faces could not be seen clearly .
Elysia kept curling up …
However , even though she had already curled up into a small ball , no one was willing to let her off .
Those people surrounded her , mocking , insulting , and even touching her .
As her family , none of them knew about all of this .
They clearly lived under the same roof , but there seemed to be an uncrossable chasm between them , which was dug out by their own hands , little by little .
Torin was already in so much pain that he couldn’t even cry .
The pain he was feeling was not only due to empathizing with Elysia’s pain , but it was primarily from his own personal emotional turmoil .
At this moment , his facial features were ferocious , and his hands were tightly gripping the collar of his clothes .
He had nowhere to vent his grief .
