Chapter 228

Upon hearing this, Alyce’s gaze sharpened, and her expression turned serious. “Are you suggesting that the

driver intended to get rid of you, Elysia?”

Elysia replied, “It's not just that. If I'm right, there's likely a third party behind her”

Alyce furrowed her brow and then lowered her head. “Rest assured, Elysia, | will look into this thoroughly and

make sure you stay safe.”

With that, she turned and left.

Elysia continued to stare at the tree, her mind replaying the image of the taxi driver.

The driver was dressed in a grey work jacket, a flat cap, and a mask that hid her face. She looked completely

bundled up, although her oversized clothes didn’t hide her slim figure. If Elysia was correct, the driver was

probably a woman.

She wondered. ‘What could have driven her to act this way? Who was pulling the strings? Could this be

connected to that incident from years ago?”

Elysia’s eyes narrowed slightly as she realized that the person in question seemed to be getting impatient.

She thought, ‘Are they planning to make a move soon? When they do, the truth about their intentions will soon

cto light. Let the chaos begin. This time, | will see it all the way through to the end!

The following morning, Elysia woke up from her sleep and lazily stretched her arms and legs. She chose a white

dress from her wardrobe, and just as she finished getting dressed, a knock cat the door. “Elysia, everything

is ready, called Yuna from outside.

As soon as she heard that, Elysia swung the door open, allowing the sunlight to wash over her face, enhancing

her delicate beauty.

She tilted her head back slightly, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warm sunlight and the fresh smell of grass in

the air. Her demeanor was relaxed and natural.

“Once today is over, everything will cto a close” Opening her eyes, she met Yuna’s gaze. “Let's go. It's time

to see Scott.” “Absolutely, Elysia,” Yuna replied, stepping aside.

Elysia moved forward, with Yuna right behind her. As they left Arcanum House, Elysia picked up her pace, and

Yuna opened the car door for her.

Once inside the car, they drove down the wide road. Elysia leaned back in her seat, her eyes drifting shut as her

fingers tapped lightly in a relaxed rhythm.

‘What will Scott's reaction be when he sees me? The thought made her chuckle.

The car stopped at the prison gates; Elysia stepped out and crossed inside, while Yuna had already set up an

independent visiting room through her connections.

The room looked just like an ordinary visiting area, except it didn’t have soundproofing in the glass partition, so

there was no need for a speaker system. Upon entering, Elysia saw Scott waiting for her.

With his hands shackled, a flicker of surprise crossed his face before he adopted a casual tone, “I never expected

you to be the only one visiting me.”

He then scoffed, “I used to live a grand life, and who would've thought I'd end up here? Quite laughable,

wouldn't you say?”

Elysia studied his worn face, a smirk creeping onto her lips.

She said, “From the moment you broughtinto the Rosewood family-no, we should go back to the day you

murdered your own child, swapped her for me, and leftin a desolate place-you should have seen this

coming.”

Scott's expression tightened, his fists clenched with agitation. “What exactly do you know?”

Anger filled his voice as his brow furrowed deeply.

Elysia noticed his discomfort, her smile widening as she straightened up. “What do you think | might know?”

“Did you always know your true identity?”

FD

“Yes. Since | returned from Shecrity, | took a sample of your hair for DNA testing, so | have known for a while that

| wasn’t your biological child. Ironically, Emma, the adopted daughter, is closely tied to the mistress of this

household.”

Scott's veins bulged with rage as he glared at her, his teeth grinding together. “Then why didn’t you tell

anyone?”

Elysia chuckled softly, her disdain evident. “You enjoy the , so | thought it only fitting to play my part until

the end. A performance should be complete. If | had spilled everything from the get-go, the unfolding

would not be as entertaining.”

Scott scanned her carefully, his eyes narrowing. “How did you becso cunning?”

“| still can’t compare to you. You are beneath even the lowest of animals,” She emphasized that last part

intentionally.

Scott intertwined his fingers, bowing his head as memories of his daughter's demise washed over him, a sense

of unease settling in.

But upon reflecting, that was his daughter, and he believed he had the right to make the decision about her life.

In other words, her life had been a commodity, a measure of her worth.

Elysia said, “Scott, you know the truth better than anyone. | suggest you reveal the identity of the person behind

you.”

At her words, Scott looked up to meet Elysia’s gaze, his eyes squinting. “You don’t know who that person is?”

“If 1 knew, would | be asking you here?”

Hearing this, Scott leaned back with a chuckle. “So, you're completely in the dark. Why would | share anything

with you? Isn't it ridiculous to even ask such questions?”

Elysia remained unfazed by his apparent amusement, regarding Scott's playful expression with a slight smile.

“You've always been smart; surely you don’t needto guide you in such simple matters.”

Eventually, Scott’s amusement faded, and leaning forward, he glared intently at Elysia. “What do you want from

me?”

Elysia leaned in closer, lowering her voice. “Exactly what you think. | managed to manipulate you before, and |

can still do it.”

Scott hesitated, gripping his hands tightly as Elysia casually brushed her fingers against her right earlobe, saying

nonchalantly, “Should | arrange for someone to keep an eye on you here in prison? Maybe even make your

sentence longer?

“Don’t forget, you carry the burden of a life-though she was your daughter, taking her life brings legal

consequences. You're a businessman; | trust you can figure out what's of greater importance.”
