Grace stood by, her fingers turning white from clenching her fists. She finally mustered the courage to yell back, “These books didn’t cost you a penny. I bought them with the money I earned from my part–time jobs.”

“That’s my money! My scholarships, my living allowances, and every penny I’ve earned–I’ve given it all to you. What more do you want from me?”

The woman’s face turned red with anger, and she slapped Grace across the face. “Nothing you have is yours. Every single thing about you is because of me. You’re nothing but a money pit, an ungrateful brat,” With that, the woman spat.

dim Ava’s light. They started to wonder if Elysia was that kind of person. And regarding the matter of being Vincent’s last disciple, if Elysia truly valued Ava as a friend, she should have said no. Ava saw the mixed expressions on everyone’s faces and the probing looks they were giving Elysia. She panicked instantly. She shouted at everyone, “What are you thinking? Can’t you see that Grace is just trying to drive a wedge between us?” Eric also spoke up, “Exactly, you guys are acting like you can’t tell right from wrong. Elysia isn’t that kind of person.”
