After school that afternoon, Elysia arrived at the school gate but didn’t see the Rosewood family’s car. She raised an eyebrow and waved down a cab. About twenty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the Rosewood residence.

Elysia got out, walked through the villa gate, and immediately sensed a heavy silence in the air. She guessed another “family war” was about to unfold today.

Just as she expected, as soon as she walked in the door, a cup came flying toward her. She calmly caught it and looked at the group of people sitting on the sofa.

Emma was curled up in Bella’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably, while Scott was furious, pointing at Elysia and shouting. “You still dare to come back?”

Scott narrowed his eyes. “Then how did you get into Class 1? Did you pull some kind of stunt?”

Elysia glanced at Emma, her voice cold, “Did Emma say something to you?”

“It doesn’t matter who said it. Just answer me–yes or no?” Scott demanded.

“No, Elysia replied flatly.

Scott didn’t believe her. He frowned, displeased. “You better be honest. Since you said no, then how did you transfer to senior year?”

Elysia crossed her arms. “I took their exam. They thought I waslented enough to be in the twelfth grade. The principal and the heads of the Liberal Arts and STEM can back me up. If you don’t believe me, just call and ask.”

“Stop lying to Mom and Dad, Elysia. That’s not what you said. You shouldn’t lie out of fear. Just listen to me and apologize. They’ll forgive you, Emma chimed in, tears streaming down her face.
