+13 “Died shortly after birth? Could there be such a coincidence?” Fabian’s eyes sharpened. What a coincidence that they gave birth to children who died shortly after birth on the same day in the same hospital!

He now had sufficient reason to doubt the authenticity of his sister’s death. “Investigate the Rosewood family to find out all the information on this couple.”

“Yes, Mr. Evans,” replied Joel.

After Joel left the room, Fabian clasped his hands together, his heart suspended in mid–air. He was afraid that his guesses were wrong, and that his high expectations would end in disappointment.

But he didn’t want to give up and would like to try even if there was only a one–in–ten–thousand chance.

After losing two sisters, he couldn’t bear the thought of having his renewed hope shattered again.

The next morning, the entire Milton School was filled with a joyful atmosphere. It was the school’s Winter Sports Event. Elysia had changed into her outfit early, waiting for the official start of it.

Even more anxious than Elysia, Ava kept her company since early morning and was supposed to comfort her, but it was Elysia who had to comfort her instead.

“Elysia, look at my palms, they’re all sweaty. I’m really a loser,” said Ava, showing her hands to Elysia.

A smile appeared on Elysia’s face. “Don’t you trust me yet? Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” said Elysia.

“Of course, I trust you, Elysia. It’s just... I’m still nervous,” replied Ava.

“It seems to me that you’re not here to cheer Elysia on, but rather to disrupt her focus.” Elena’s voice carried a hint of teasing.

Ava looked in the direction of the voice and immediately wilted. “Elena...”

“Ava,” Elena rolled her eyes at her, chiding, “if you really want Elysia to do a good job as the cheerleader, it would be more effective for you to go back to the audience and cheer her on honestly.”

Although Elena’s words were blunt, they made sense. Since she couldn’t be of any help here, it would be better to go back to the audience and be nervous there without affecting Elysia’s mood.

Realizing this, she nodded vigorously. “Got it, Elena.”

After saying this, Ava looked at Elysia again, stretched out one of her hands, and made a cheering gesture. “Elysia, you’re the best. Go for it.”

Elysia was amused, but she still responded. “Okay.”

Only then did Ava turn and leave. Elena watched her retreating figure, her lips curving slightly. “She’s quite interesting.” “Indeed.

By the way, Elena, how do you have time to come over now?” Elysia thought, ‘As the Student Union president, she should be organizing the smooth progress of various tasks. How could she have the leisure to come find me?‘

“I came over specially to see you. Everything on the other side has been arranged properly,” replied Elena.

Only then did Elysia nod.

+13 With the exhilarating music on, Elysia walked at the head of the procession, holding the baton in her hand. Every movement she made was fluid..

The baton was thrown high into the air and then caught neatly, the motion as smooth as flowing clouds and running water. The students in the audience cast envious glances.

“Whoa, that’s so beautiful! She is Elysia from Class 6, right? She’s definitely outshining the school belle, Emma.”

“Amazing. She’s just cute.”

“Can you guys not be so superficial? She’s not only cute but also gets good grades and is good at playing basketball. Most importantly, she outperforms the previous two in holding the baton.”

Bianca’s eyes dimmed when she heard the praises for Elysia in the crowd.

She watched the graceful figure on the track. If Elysia hadn’t replaced her, she would be the one walking in front of everyone with the baton today.

Bianca thought, ‘Could I do as well as Elysia?‘ She wasn’t sure of herself.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Elysia was indeed better than her in all the movements she did. Most importantly, Elysia didn’t practice as long as her.

Elysia must be the first person to reach this level in such a short time.

The light in Ava’s eyes because of excitement didn’t disappear until the opening ceremony ended. She skipped over to find Elysia, her whole body radiating joy.

caring about the special costume Elysia was wearing så “Elysia, you’re amazing.” Without she hugged her tightly.

“Emm...” Ben was about to remind her that the costume needed to be returned when Elena who stood beside him coughed lightly and gave him a meaningful look. He immediately shut his mouth.

Ben thought, ‘Forget it. Even Elena, the Student Union president, doesn’t say anything, I’d better not speak out of turn.‘

The phone screen lit up along with a reminding sound at the receipt of a video sent by Joel, which was coupled with a message.

Fabian picked up the phone nearby.

Joel: [Mr. Evans, this is the video I Event.]

cretly filmed of Ms. Rosewood. She is the cheerleader of the school’s Winter Sports He clicked the play button. The girl in the video was energetic and pretty and walked at the forefront of the procession holding a baton. She would throw it high up and then catch it steadily, and sometimes spin it in her hand.

Founding that she resembled Evelyn as a teenager by about 40-50%, Fabian gently touched her face on the screen, with shining excitement in his eyes. He thought, ‘What a blessing it would be if Evelyn were still alive?‘

After the opening ceremony, the various competitions began. Elysia was pulled by Ava to cheer for the athletes of Class 6.

They were determined to win on the sports field to make up for their weakness in academics. After all, sports was their strong point.

The students of Class I standing next to them were also cheering for their own athletes and felt a bit choked when they saw Elysia cheering for Class 6.

+13 Since they weren’t allies, they had to be opponents. No matter how much they regretted it in their hearts, they had to keep up appearances and hold their ground in terms of morale.

Elysia received a call from Alyce as soon as she left the school gate after a day of competitions. Alyce, like Yuna, was a member of the Arcanum House and one of the most influential people next to Elysia there.

“Boss, the Murphy Family is seeking a drug,” said Alyce. Elysia thought, “The Murphy Family! Elysia was slightly stunned and wondered if Jeremy was also a member of the Murphy Family as his surname was Murphy.

“I’m coming over now.” After leaving this message, Elysia hung up the phone and hurried towards the Arcanum House.

The temporary location of the Arcanum House in Sivro was an antique–style residence. It was located in a secluded area, but the surrounding environment was excellent.

Entering through the back door of the Arcanum House, she changed into plain linen clothes and put on the mask belonging to the Owner of Arcanum House. Then she walked towards the front hall.

Alyce, who was sitting on the chair on the left, immediately stood up upon seeing her, her expression slightly solemn. “Boss.”
