Chapter 312
Bianca did not want to bow down to Elysia. She had already lost, and now, she wanted to hold onto whatever shred of dignity she had left. She could not bear the thought of losing so completely.
Moreover, Elysia was her rival.
But now, she could no longer keep that sliver of pride.
If this dragged the Janssen family down with her, she had no idea what would happen next and how she possibly would face the consequences for them.
Elysia’s hand tightened into a fist, then slowly relaxed. She looked at Bianca before lowering her head. I’m sorry, Elysia. I was wrong. I see that now.”
“What exactly did you do wrong?” Elysia’s cold and somewhat mocking voice rang out, sending a surge of bitterness through Bianca. She hadn’t expected Elysia to be so relentless.
“I–I was wrong to let my jealousy cloud my judgment and post those false statements on the forum, tarnishing your reputation. Please, have mercy and forgive me,” Bianca said, her voice trembling.
Elysia’s tone remained firm. “When you posted that message, did you ever think this day would come? Did you think you would regret it? You want me to show you mercy, but where was your mercy when you acted so cruelly toward me?”
“I’ll tell you, Bianca. Your biggest mistake was using your filthy mind to judge others. When your heart is corrupt, everything you see becomes dirty.” Elysia’s words struck Bianca like a slap.
Bianca bowed her head, trying desperately to suppress the boiling hatred in her chest.
Elysia continued, her voice cutting through the silence, “Bianca, if I weren’t the daughter of the Evans family, do you think you would be lowering that proud head of yours to apologize to me right now?”
Elysia’s words were icy and sharp. Even Denzel and Rebecca were both stunned by the powerful aura Elysia exuded.
They looked at their daughter being scolded, and though they felt uncomfortable, they knew this was not the time to defend
her.
Bianca did something wrong. They had no reason to defend her.
Fabian, noticing Elysia’s rising anger, raised his hand to gently pat her head, his soothing voice reaching her ears. “I’m here. Calm down.”
Fabian would never let Elysia suffer even the slightest injustice.
He turned his cold gaze to Bianca. “Ms. Janssen, since you’ve apologized, we’ll leave it at that. You may go now.”
Bianca froze at his words. “Mr. Evans, does this mean you are going to forgive me?”
“When did I ever say I would forgive you?” Fabian replied sharply.
“But you just-” Bianca started but was immediately interrupted. “I never said that if you apologized, I wouldn’t pursue legal action against you.”
Bianca tried to recall their conversation. Fabian had indeed never said those words.
He only said that if she was unwilling to apologize, he would not force her and that he would defend Elysia’s rights through legal means.

Bianca’s face darkened. Fabian raised an eyebrow, his voice turning colder. “Ms. Janssen, do you boueatly think the everything in this world can be fixed with a simple apology?”
Bianca remained silent, keeping her head lowered. She didn’t dare look up at him.
She was angry, but in the face of someone like him, standing at the top of the pyramid, all de codd town sedie ‘ser frustration and keep it buried deep inside.
Bianca told herself inwardly, ‘Calm down, please!

His expression turned grim as he glanced at Denzel. “Mr. Janssen, do you also think this way?
Denzel could tell that Fabian was trying to force his hand.
If he agreed, it would make him just as rude and disrespectful as his daughter. If he disapport i would play fapt to Fabian’s hands. And if Fabian decided to sue him later, Denzel would have no ground to complain.
Denzel struggled for a moment, then finally nodded. “It’s my failure in raising her. Mr. Evans, I apologue Fear font take offense.”
Though he didn’t finish his sentence, Denzel’s words indirectly confirmed Fabian’s point. It was the best way for Denzel to maintain his dignity while also giving Fabian an easy way out.
Fabian nodded slightly. “Mr. Janssen, you are a reasonable man, but it’s a pity that you still fall shon in how you’ve raised your daughter.
“The Evans family doesn’t take kindly to being pushed around. Mr. Janssen, prepare yourself for a lawyer’s letter” Denzel, caught off guard, stumbled backward, and Rebecca quickly reached out to support him “Denzel are you alright?
Denzel couldn’t speak. This trip ended in defeat.
If the Evans family insisted on sending a lawyer’s letter, the Hartley family would likely follow suit
It seemed the Janssen family was truly in a precarious position.
Fabian radiated a cold, intimidating aura, but when he glanced at Elysia beside him, the harshness in his demeanor seemed to soften. “Elysia, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Elysia nodded.
The two of them walked toward the door, leaving the Janssen family standing there, their expressions unreadable. They appeared both anxious and helpless.
By the time they reached the door, the assistant Joel was already waiting outside. As soon as Fabian and Elysia emerged, they
saw him.
They walked directly to the car, and once inside, Fabian gave a calm order. “Take Elysia to school first.”
“Yes, Mr. Evans,” Joel responded.

As the car sped down the wide highway, Elysia stared out the window. Bianca’s fall from grace was entirely of her own making. No one else was to blame.

‘By the way, having my brother protect me like this feels pretty good. From start to finish, I didn’t have to lift a finger. I could just stand back and watch things unfold. I love being on the sidelines listening to all the gossip,’ she wondered.
The car stopped in front of Milton School. Fabian, still concerned, turned to her and gave one last warning. “Elysia, if anyone tries to bully you at school, make sure you tell me. I’ll take care of it.”
Elysia couldn’t help but smirk, wondering, ‘After what happened yesterday, I’m sure everyone at school will make sure to steer clear of me. Who would dare to mess with me now?
‘But still, there’s always someone dumb enough to try.‘
“Fabian, don’t worry. No one will dare bully me. You once said that even if I put a hole in the school, you’d patch it you?” Elysia replied confidently.
up, didn’t
“Yes, I did say that.” Fabian smiled.
“So, if anyone dares mess with me, I’ll just use force to handle them,” Elysia said with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Joel, overhearing this, was left completely stunned. ‘Oh my, is Ms. Evans so violent?‘
Joel glanced at Fabian, expecting him to scold Elysia. But instead of anger, Fabian was smiling as he looked at Elysia.
To Joel’s shock, Fabian raised his hand and gently patted Elysia’s head. “Elysia, as long as you like, you can handle things however you want. But, fighting that’s something for Yehoshua. If you get hurt, I’ll be worried.”
“I got it, Fabian,” Elysia said sweetly, her demeanor now soft and innocent, like a cute kitten. It was enough to leave Joel completely flabbergasted.
Just moments ago, Elysia had clenched her fists, ready to punch anyone who crossed her, and now she was acting all cute and obedient.
‘If Ms. Evans gets hurt, Fabian will worry. But what about Yehoshua? Well, considering Yehoshua’s strength, there’s probably no one who could even touch him,‘ Joel thought to himself.
