Chapter 56

The woman in the photo was just over fifty, yet thad been kind to her, leaving few marks on her face. Her

skin was fair, and she wore a V-neck sapphire blue dress that accentiused her exceptional grace.

It was clear she had been a top-tier beauty in her youth. With this in mind, Elysia took out a sheet of white paper

from her drawer and began to

sketch on it

The next morning, the atmosphere at Milton School was unusually lively, the entire campus filled with an air of

joyous anticipation

This was all due to the news that Vincent, a renowned painting master, would be visiting the school the following

week to select a student as his final apprentice.

Vincent was a towering figure in the entire country, a luminary in the world of painting. To bechis apprentice

Thus, students with a talent for painting were overjoyed upon hearing this news, and they all redoubled their

efforts, hoping to be chosen by

Vincent

Ava’s face lit up when she heard the news. She said, “If | could becVincent's apprentice, | would be the

Seeing her refusal. Ava didn’t press further. She had heard sof the rumors about Elysia’s past. It was living a

life of simplicity and poverty.

a poor village.

Ava thought Elysia had no spare money to cultivate hobbies or special skills? So, Elysia’s rejection was

understandable to her. Although Ava was always carefree, she wasn't stupid. She wouldn't do something that

would expose someone’s shortcomings and cause embarrassment.

“Elysia, someone's looking for you outside,” a guy at the door shouted towards Elysia’s direction.

Elysia furrowed her brows, wondering who could it be. She got up and walked towards the door. Upon seeing

Elena outside, she was slightly surprised. She asked. “How cyou have tto cover?

Elena raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is someone giving you a hard tbecause of Mia's matter!”

Elena nodded but didn’t say anything. There was a question she’d been hesitant to ask. She wanted to know if

the Rosewood family was treating Elysia badly.

But it was Elysia’s family business, no matter what, it wasn’t Elena’s place to interfere too much. The reason

Elena cto find Elysia today was because of that phone call last night,

If she was right, it seemed like the Smith family had caused strouble for the Rosewood family, and the

Rosewood family didn’t trust what Elysia said. She couldn’t think of any better explanation for what happened.

After Elena left. Ava, who had been keeping an eye on things at the door, suddenly darted out from behind and

hugged Elysia. She asked, “What does Eleru want wir you?”

Elysia replied, “About what happened yesterday, she cover to check on the situation.”

Awa said, “Elena is nice to you”

Elysia thought, ‘Indeed.

At eight o'clock in the evening. Elysia arrived at the door of room A5302 in the Glory Hotel with the room card

given by Emma. As to opened the door, she was hit by a strong smell of smoke and alcohol

The floor was a mess, and on the bed sat four or five men, cach holding a cigarette. They were all balling and in

Elysia snorted inwardly. ‘Emma really thought a lot of me, sendingthis kind of scum

Those men noticed Elysia standing at the door. Their eyes lit up instantly. They remarked inside, She is really

Another middle-aged man had already started unbuckling his belt. Seeing this, the other men behind him also

began to unbuckle their belts, all the while closing in on Elysia

One man said, “Hold her down for me. Lethave sfun first.

“Why should you go first! | want to be the first one,” another middle-aged man said, reaching out to grab Elysia.

But before his hand could touch her, Elysia grabbed his hand.

The man’s hand was a bit dark, with sblack stuff under his fingernails. It looked really out of place next to

Elysia’s hand, which was pale and delicate. The man looked at Elysia’s hand, revealing a mouthful of big yellow

teeth.

“Hold your horses, babe. I'll make sure to give you what you want real soon,” he said this while trying to reach

out with his other hand to touch the one Elysia had on his

The man shouted, “Screw you, you're just all talk! Get over here and help” As soon as he finished his sentence,

he heard a crunch sound from his wrist, and his face turned pale as a ghost, cold sweat pouring down.

Elysia forcefully shook off his hand.

The man’s face got even paler. He held his injured hand and glared at the others who were still standing by,

Hearing this, other men wiped the drool from their mouths and slowly closed in on Elysia.

One man said, “Don’t you worry, sweetheart. | will be gentle.

Another man shouted, “Damn it! | can’t hold back any longer!”

Elysia looked at the hands reaching for her and kicked out. One man went down, clutching his crotch, tears

streaming down from the pain. With another swift move, Elysia grabbed another one’s hand, twisted it back, and

after a crunch sound, kicked him flying

Looking at the last creepy guy still standing. Elysia stretched a bit. When she was just about to make her move,

the man dropped to his knees. The man said, “Mam, | didn’t know who | was messing with. Please, let bygones

The kneeling man was the first to find his voice. He said, “30 thousand dollars.”

Elysia asked, “30 thousand dollars!”

The man said, “Yes. His face drained of all color, and he started shaking uncontrollably. He lived a good chunk of

his life and had his fair share of getting pushed around, but never had he felt this humiliated.

He cursed inside, It is all because of that damn woman. Why does she have to send someone like this? Is she

trying to get us killed”

Flysia said, “I'll give you ten times that. Do to her what you were planning to do to me.”
