Chapter 134 

Olivia hnally left , but not because Michelle was there .

 

I was because of a phone call .

“ Olivia , how dare you bully someone under Mr.

Rookwood’s protection ? You could get away with picking on others .

before , but now do you even know who you’re messing with ? It’s the Rookwood family ! ” 

The voice on the other end practically shouted the lau words , and what came next was even more shocking .

“ Mr.

Rookwood himself sent me the video ! You … you better get back here right now ! I swear , you’re going to drive me crazy today ! ” 

A video ! Olivia’s expression froze for a moment .

Is it the one where I used the carving knife to slash Elysia’s wrist Or is it a video from when we commented her before ? 

As the thought crossed her mind , she stole a glance at Elysia , hiding behind Michelle .

Seeing her trembling , fearful expression , Olivia suddenly became nonchalant again .

 

Smirking , she replied , “ Don’t worry .

If he really wanted to help , he would’ve done a long ago .

It’s been years , and he’s never been all that protective She’s just some ugly plaything , nothing more .

” 

The voice on the other end let out an angry , out – of – breath curse .

“ Even if she’s just a plaything she belongs to someone elset Who the hell do you think you are to touch hert Get back here , now ! ” 

Reluctantly , Olivia turned to leave .

She thought .

It isn’t worth offending the Rookwood family heir just to get back at a girl from the Drayton family : ‘ 

But before she left , she threw one last veiled threat .

“ You’re lucky today .

Hut I wonder if you’ll be so lucky when you get home ” 

Elysia knew exactly who Olivia was referring to , and her heart skipped a beat at the mention of home .

Her pube quickened as anxiety look over her .

 

“ Leave now , or I’ll call the police Michelle , noticing Elysia’s pole face , quickly turned to shout at Olivia .

 

Elysia couldn’t make out all the words from the phone call .

She could only tell it was a man on the other end .

 

Even though her hearing had worsened since the slap from Rupert two years ago , she could will hear the conversation clearly enough from this close 

And it only made her pain worse .

“ Mr.

Rookwood … Who else can have so much power at Ridgewood Middle School ? 

So , he has known all along about what is happening to me .

Not only does he know , but he has someone secretly record it all – scemingly to help me , but never stepping in when it matters .

 

Why didn’t he stop them while the video was being taken ? It was the same cold indifference she had come to expect from him .

 

Elysia felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion .

Both her body and her spirit felt like a meteor , shattered and spiralling out of control .

She was falling apart faster than she could handle .

 

What Olivia had said was painfully true ; she was just a toy , something to amuse when convenient .

She should’ve realized that sooner he had never truly cared about helping her .

 

Meanwhile , Stellan , on the other end of the phone , felt a sudden pang of guilt when he saw the deep sorrow in Elysia’s eyes .

 

His heart sank .

He hadn’t realized how sharp her hearing was , and now she had heard everything .

He wondered , How can I explain the video to her ! Elysia would be so disappointed in me.

” 

Stellan regretted not having someone help her when the video was first taken .

Instead , he had foolishly let the opportunity slip , allowing someone else to handle it 

Online , the comments were full of outrage .

 

What’s going on with Stellant if he had the video , why didn’t he just help her directly is he seriously waiting for her to get hurt before he shows up to “ uave her ! ] 

[ Stellan already willing to help , that should be enough .

He doesn’t owe her anything .

If her hand gets broken , that’s not his problem ] 

[ I’m curious , though – how did he replace out so quickly ? Isn’t he already at university ? ] 

He must have someone following her , right ? Or maybe he’s got some strange obsession with her .

Otherwise , it’s like he sees her as his plaything- like something out of a novel where he breaks her limbs and keeps her as his ‘ pet Gross

Chapter 134 

Ah , you’re so creepy ! Thank goodness Michelle’s there to protect her ! We love Michelle ! ] 

Elysia’s eyes , bloodshot and full of sorrow , seemed to be bleeding with pain .

She murmured bitterly to herself , almost forgetting Michelle was standing beside her .

 

“ How ridiculous … ” she muttered , her voice breaking as she spoke .

“ I should’ve refused two years ago , when he deleted the recording … have come here at all * 

I shouldn’t 

Elysia’s voice was faint , yet it reached everyone’s ears with perfect clarity .

Her last sentence made Stellan’s regret instantly turn to cold sweat .

His eyes widened in shock – Elysia knew .

She knew that he had deleted the recording .

 

“ Elysia Michelle said .

 

Elysia , speaking as though in a daze , startled Michelle , who had been searching for tissues .

 

She froze , then quickly rushed to Elysia’s side , offering comfort .

“ It’s alright , don’t be afraid .

Let’s go to the nurse’s office , I’ll help you dry off with 3 cloth , okay ? It’s December now .

You’ll catch a cold if you stay we like this .

” 

The viewers , hearing those words , suddenly realized it was already winter .

If Michelle hadn’t mentioned it , no one would have guessed , given how thinly Elysia was dressed .

 

What puzzled everyone , though was that Elysis didn’t respond at all , even as she shivered from the cold .

 

Just as Michelle thought shed silently agreed and tried to help her leave .

Elysia refused to budge .

She even clutched her sleeve tightly , her dirty face showing clear signs of resistance .

 

This unconscious action only deepened Michelle’s concem , and her heart ached even more .

“ Elysia , are you okay ? Are you hurt anywhere ? ” 

But Elysia , lost in her own thoughts , didn’t even seem to hear her .

Her gaze was distant , fixed on the floor , as though she were completely unaware of what was happening around her .

 

After a long silence , Elysia finally snapped out of her daze when Michelle called her name .

“ Oh … Tin sorry , Michelle ! ” 

She immediately released her grip on the sleeve and apologized , frantically wiping the dirt off her clothes , as if afraid of staining Michelle’s kindnes 

“ You don’t need to apologize , Michelle said gently , pulling her into a warm hug .

She patted Elysia’s back soothingly for a long time , until the girl finally calmed down .

Then , with a sorrowful expression , she spoke softly .

“ I’m the one who should be apologizing .

” 

Elysia was confused , thinking , “ Why is Michelle apologizing to me ? Is it because I have been bullied ? No ! How can I blame Michelle for that ” just as she was about to speak up ….

 

“I have to go ” Michelle’s sudden words cut her off .

 

The air seemed to freeze .

Those words – I have to go – echoed in Elysia’s mind over and over .

She thought , ‘ She’s leaving … Where is she going ? 

Elysia stared at Michelle , her mind a blank .

It felt like a heavy stone had dropped into her chest , and though she tried to speak , her heart was in Turmoil , making it hard to replace the words , 

Michelle sighed , a look of helplessness in her eyes , and gently said , “ I’m leaving Ridgewood Middle School .

Frn moving to Zledo City … but it’s okay .

If you ever want to talk , just call me , alright ? 

At that moment , an overwhelming thought hit Elysia .

I want to go with her .

Anywhere would be fine , as long as she could be with Michelle 

Her dull eyes suddenly sparkled with new light , and she eagerly asked , “ Michelle , please take me with you .

I promise I’ll repay you once I make money ! I’ll be good .

Hease … 

She wanted to escape this endless abyss , to leave behind the violence of school and the cold indifference of her family .

She just wanted to start over , forget the past, and live a simple , ordinary life .

 

“ Ah … ” Michelle’s lips parted in surprise as she heard Elysia’s words .

She had never imagined the quiet , obedient Elysia would ask her for help .

This was the first time Elysia had ever made such a request , but it was something Michelle couldn’t grant 

sorry .

Elysia .

” She paused , then said softly , “L .

.

I’m already pregnant with a child ”
