Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

[ This is heartbreaking .

So Elysia was the one being bullied all along .

But why do all the online search results say she was the ringleader ? And those claiming to have “ seen her hitting classmates “ ? Care to explain ? ] 

[ It’s simple .

Rowena cries and twists the truth .

Even little kids can be fooled , let alone Torin and Fenwick , who’ve been completely duped .

] 

[ Spreading rumors costs nothing , but disproving them is an uphill battle .

I just checked Elysia’s Twitter , and her comment section is horrifying- nothing but curses and abuse .

] 

[ I tracked down the origin of the rumors .

Rowena subtly hinted during a Best Actress award ceremony that Elysia “ has a bad temper “ and that “ a lot of people at school are scared of her .

“ That’s where all the bullying stories started .

] 

Stellan forced himself to look away from the screen .

He had known Elysia was bullied at school , but he had never imagined it was this bloody and violent .

The irony was almost unbearable : the Drayton family had no idea this was happening .

Worse , they actually believed Elysia was the aggressor , while Rowena – unscathed and unmarked – was seen as the poor , helpless victim .

“ Torin , Fenwick , are your hearts so biased that your eyes can’t see straight ? Can’t you tell who’s bullying whom ? ” 

Torin shook his head silently , his mind spinning .

‘ Why ? Why would Rowena do this to Elysia ? ‘ 

Elysia had done everything Rowena demanded – finished her homework , drawn her chalkboard art , and even helped execute her schemes .

Elysia was already ostracized and abandoned by everyone .

Torin thought , ‘ So why did Rowena keep her around to suffer further abuse ? ‘ 

Fenwick , gritting his teeth , snapped , “ What’s that supposed to mean ? ” 

Unlike Torin , Fenwick lacked composure .

Stellan’s pointed remarks stung like provocation , and he retorted impulsively , “ Whenever we saw Elysia , she seemed fine ! If she had just shown us her injuries earlier or told us about the bullying , we would’ve helped her fix it ! ” 

[ Unfollowing .

Goodbye , Fenwick .

] 

[ Are you serious ? You think Elysia didn’t tell you because she forgot ? What about that time she had a deep cut on her hand , and you all said she deserved it ? Short memory much ? ] 

Stellan smirked faintly , his expression almost amused .

See ? No need for me to speak – others will do it for me .

Fenwick’s career faced its largest – ever backlash .

Fans accused him of poor acting compared to Rowena’s theatrics , with rumors and criticism snowballing as his image crumbled .

Meanwhile , a tech worker approached Stellan and whispered , “ Sir , that user ID … it appeared out of nowhere .

Once the image disappeared , the ID vanished too .

We can’t replace any records of it in our system .

” 

Stellan sighed , rubbing his temples .

This was no coincidence .

Whoever was behind this wasn’t even trying to hide 

The Memory Viewer couldn’t have developed its own consciousness .

Someone must have infiltrated their system .

But strangely , their actions seemed entirely focused on helping Elysia … 

The screen continued to play , giving viewers little time to process .

This time , the setting was a police station .

The sight made everyone tense .

Was Elysia reporting the abuse ? Or had she done something wrong ? 

anymore .

Onscreen , Elysia was still in her school uniform , and judging by the daylight , it was morning – meaning she had skipped class .

Yet her face remained calm as she walked inside .

[ Everyone relax .

Elysia went in voluntarily .

She’s probably reporting those bullies , right ? ] 

[ Unlikely .

Rowena’s never been in custody , and judging by how biased the Drayton family is , that’s not happening .

] 

Inside the station , a middle – aged officer sat on a bench , his demeanor commanding respect .

When Elysia entered , he immediately stood , his face lighting up with genuine joy .

The police said , “ Thank goodness you’re here .

On behalf of the Stoneford Police Department , I want to thank you for your contribution to the community .

” 

He took a deep breath before continuing , “ Thanks to you , Lyra and Dorian , those two notorious traffickers , have finally been caught .

We’ve been

pursuing them for years , and today , justice has finally been served 

“ But … ” He sighed heavily , his expression darkening .

I’m sorry for the year you endured because of us .

If your family had been willing to support you in court , last year’s trial might have ended differently .

And if we’d believed you sooner , we might have apprehended them earlier .

” 

At this , Elysia’s lips curled into a bittersweet smile .

Shaking her head gently , she replied , “ It’s not their fault .

They had no obligation to help me .

” 

Her words cut through Torin’s heart , reopening wounds that had yet to heal .

Torin thought .

No obligation ? They were her family .

How could they have no obligation ? 

Because they didn’t see any visible injuries , they dismissed her claims as lies .

Even worse , Torin – the second adult in the family – had refused to accompany her to court .

[ So it wasn’t even a loss in court .

Elysia , as a minor without family support , wasn’t even allowed to testify .

The Drayton family is truly something else .

] 

[ She was only 15 at the time , right ? Her life was already this hard .

No wonder she later sought revenge .

] 

[ Hold up .

Her family raised her , fed her , sent her to school – all that costs money ! And didn’t she have an abortion later ? Who paid for that ? The Drayton family , I bet .

] 

[ Right ? Kids these days are so entitled .

Always seeking revenge , ungrateful brats .

At least dogs wag their tails when you feed them .

] 

Torin’s pupils contracted sharply at the mention of “ abortion .

” 

He couldn’t believe the kind – hearted Elysia would willingly engage in such behavior , let alone … terminate a pregnancy .

Someone must have forced her .

Scenes of the bullying replayed in his mind , each flash of male faces fueling his fury .

His heart pounded wildly , and a storm of guilt and rage overtook him .

Finally , he broke , shouting in agony as he collapsed to his knees and pounded the ground .

Torin finally couldn’t hold back anymore .

With a heart – wrenching scream , he collapsed to his knees , pounding the ground in anguish .

This was his sister — his real sister .

And yet , in places he couldn’t see , she had endured such inhumane abuse for so long .

Instead of helping her when she first began to suffer , Torin had joined the rest of the family in ignoring her , treating her with cold indifference .

“ What the hell have I been doing all these years ? ” Torin roared , his fists slamming into the floor again in frustration and self – loathing .

Even Fenwick , usually unshaken , was startled by the sight .

Quickly , he reached out to help Torin up .

“ Torin ? Why are you suddenly on the floor ? Elysia’s still alive and fine , isn’t she ? Get up .

She’s not worth it .

” 

Before Fenwick could finish .

Torin’s reddened eyes snapped toward him .

Grabbing Fenwick’s arm with a vice – like grip , Torin shouted , “ Elysia … she must have been forced into this ! We have to replace the person who did this to her .

We have to avenge her ! ” 

Fenwick , unable to break free , instinctively pinned Torin to the floor instead .

For once , he played the role of the older sibling , speaking to him in a measured , almost paternal tone .

“ Torin , calm down .

We don’t know the truth yet .

How can you jump to conclusions like this ? ” 

Fenwick hesitated , then added , “ It could … it could even be that Elysia is dating someone .

Maybe it’s just that … ” 

“ Torin , what are you doing ? Don’t push me ! ” Fenwick protested as Torin angrily shoved him away .

“ I’m just saying it’s possible .

Possible ! ” 

Fenwick slumped to the ground , glaring at Torin in irritation .

In his mind , he hadn’t said anything wrong .

The brothers stood in stark contrast at that moment – one trapped in spiraling guilt and punishment , imagining the worst , while the other stubbornly clung to alternative explanations , seeking solace in denial .

[ Are these two really brothers ? How are they even from the same family ? Fenwick is so heartless .

] 

[ Poor Elysia , having two clueless idiots for brothers .

Do they realize this is a live broadcast ? Shouldn’t they be working to bury this story instead of arguing over whether she was forced or willing ? ]

Torin suddenly froze , as if jolted awake .

His eyes slowly shifted toward the camera in the distance .

His voice , hollow and broken , murmured , “ I’m sorry , Elysia … I’ve failed you again … ”
