Chapter 334:

Elyse observed Mabel’s fierce and menacing demeanor, an unsettling feeling creeping over her. Suddenly, a disturbing notion crossed her mind—was this person truly her sister? The sorrow in her heart ebbed away, replaced by a cold numbness. “You orchestrated my abduction. Did you ever consider the consequences?” she asked, her voice devoid of emotion.

Mabel’s response was chillingly indifferent. “Consequences? Why would I care? You’ve never been of any help to me. You’re nothing but useless trash.”

Elyse closed her eyes slowly, a chill settling in her heart. She had cared for Mabel since childhood, yet here she was, regarded as worthless. The absurdity of it all struck her deeply. Fixing her gaze upon Mabel, Elyse uttered calmly, “If you have no use for me, then I have nothing more to say. Your fate is no concern of mine.”

Fearful of Elyse’s departure, she crawled towards her, threatening, “You wretch! If you don’t rescue me, I’ll tell our parents and have them cripple you, locking you away like Jayden Owen did to me.”

As Mabel reached for Elyse’s ankle, Elyse silently stepped back, eluding her grasp. “Elyse Lloyd!” Mabel cried out in frustration, locking eyes with Elyse, whose expression was as lifeless as her own emotions. “Let me out, Elyse!”
