Chapter 98
Ruper said , “ But … but I smashed it into two pieces … How did Elysia … ”
Just as Rupert nervously spoke in disbelief , Torin explained , “ Elysia fixed it herself , of course .
”
Actually , Torin was also quite shocked .
When he saw Elysia bring tools from home , her technique was clumsy , but she managed to repair the computer smoothly .
In the end , she quickly pressed some buttons , and the screen lit up .
A few beads of sweat appeared on Rupert’s forehead , and his face flushed with anger .
Eventually , he retorted , “ Even if she fixed it , shouldn’t she return it to me ? ”

It seemed that even he thought there was something wrong with his words .
He hurriedly added , “ Besides , I don’t believe that she doesn’t even have the money to buy a laptop .
Our family gives her thirty thousand dollars in pocket money every month .
I think she spends it all on frivolous things .
”
Torin thought , I’m about to go crazy from what my old man is saying .
It’s like no matter how I explain , I can’t change his impression of Elysia .
But how come things have ended up like this ? ‘
As Torin was thinking about the situation , Rupert became more convinced that his own perspective was correct .
He believed that Elysia had spent all her pocket money on frivolous things , which was why she even had to use his laptop just to check her exam results .
“ Hmph , with results like that , it makes no difference whether or not she checks her results .
”
The netizens in the livestream saw Torin zoning out , while Fenwick was fiddling with his phone , and they were instantly furious .
It was also at this moment that Stellan handed Rupert a pair of VR glasses .
Rupert thought Stellan was trying to fawn over him , but in the next moment , he put them on .
A flood of insults then came sweeping in .
[ Rupert , you damn idiot ! Where the hell were you during human evolution ? You look like a decent person on the outside , but underneath , you’re heartless , unreliable , short – sighted , and lowdown ! ]
[ Rupert , if I called you “ jerk , ” would you have the guts to respond ? ]
[ You can’t be serious .
Rupert , could it be that you have no idea that the money you gave Elysia was all snatched up by your precious daughter ? ]
“ Wh – what are you people talking about ? ” Rupert was purple with rage when he saw the comments .
His nostrils flared wide , as if smoke was coming out of them .
Torin , who was deep in thought , was startled back to reality by the furious roar and exclaimed , “ Dad , how long are you going to keep causing drama ? Do you know that Elysia has never received a single cent of her pocket money since she was a child ? It was all snatched away by Rowena .
“ Also , Elysia is a rare genius .
No , she is simply an extraordinary genius ! ” His voice was filled with anger , especially when he said the word genius .
He couldn’t wrap his head around how they could be so cruel as to stifle a genius , and this genius was not someone else .
She was their family member .
As Elysia’s family , not only did they not give her the support and encouragement she deserved , but they also directed various slanderous remarks at her and hurt her feelings .
They let her endure being the subject of rumors at school .
At home , she had to endure their cold looks and Rowena’s bullying .
After saying this , Torin finally calmed down and asked the last question , “ We’ve really gone too far , so are you still going to stubbornly refuse to see the truth , Dad ? ”
Just as Torin blinked , a crystal – clear teardrop slid down .
This scene rendered Rupert speechless .
He opened his mouth a few times , unsure if he should comfort Torin first or ask about the truth of what Torin had said .
In this half – minute silence , Rupert thought about it carefully and reckoned that the story of Elysia not having pocket money was likely true ,
He thought , ‘ But a genius … That must be this brat lying to me .
What kind of high – level education could a girl who lived in the countryside for ten years possibly have ?

Also , with her introverted personality , she even ate secretly behind our backs .
She definitely can’t fit in at school and is not likable at all , unlike Rowena , who ranks first in the county in the placement test .
It’s a pity that Rowena is mentally unstable .
Rupert patted Torin on the shoulder .
“ Alright , Torin , the pocket money was my mistake .
I didn’t know that Rowena , that loony , would dare to snatch the pocket money I gave Elysia .
When I return , I’ll freeze her bank card and give Elysia 700 thousand dollars as compensation .
”
It’s really an eye – opener .
The birthday present he gave Rowena was a hair clip worth 300 thousand dollars .
Now , the compensation he’s giving Elysia is only 700 thousand dollars ? ]
[ That’s right .
Considering a yearly annual birthday gift of 300 thousand dollars and an annual pocket money of 300 thousand dollars , plus interest … let’s call it 30 million dollars .
Rupert , you had better be sensible and transfer 30 million dollars to Elysia’s now .
]
These comments were undoubtedly seen by the person involved .
Rupert said , “ 30 million dollars ? Hmph ! ”
He had wanted to take a step back to resolve the situation peacefully , clearly not expecting that this group of netizens would pressure him relentlessly .
They even sided with Elysia to scold him .
He thought , ‘ I didn’t bring a daughter into this world .
Rather , I clearly brought an enemy into this world .
How ridiculous ! ‘
Rupert could no longer suppress his anger .
He looked around and spotted the camera .
Then , he immediately leaned in close to the lens and spoke .
“ You people make it sound so easy .
Elysia is indeed my daughter , but she has never done anything for me .
Why should I give her 30 million dollars for no reason ? Besides , even if I were to give it to her , she probably wouldn’t know how to spend it .
700 thousand dollars is already an astronomical figure to her .
”
Just then , the livestream finally broadcasted the moment when Elysia checked her results again .
The total score was 710 , and her score was 560 .
Elysia was clearly flustered , as it was very likely that this score could not get her into Ridgewood Middle School .
On the other hand , Rupert and the netizens outside the screen were somewhat surprised .
It was just that the former’s surprise was filled with joy , while the latter’s was filled with disappointment .
Rupert had thought that Elysia could only score 100 to 200 points .
To his surprise , she scored 500 points , so it was not that embarrassing .
However , she was still far from Rowena , who scored 700 points .
But the comments in the livestream shocked him again .
[ There’s no way she could only score this much .
There must be something wrong with Rupert’s laptop .
]
Rupert was left speechless .
