Chapter 327
“Ethan, don’t talk nonsense. This is… Elysia,” Michelle said.
Michelle hurriedly covered Ethan’s mouth with her hand, then glanced at Elysia with an embarrassed look, and asked gently, “What brings you here… You didn’t even let me know you were coming, so I didn’t have a chance to get anything to welcome you.”
Elysia’s throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn’t speak for a long time.
It wasn’t until she took heavy and slow steps and stood before Michelle that thousands of words finally turned into six words and blurted out, “I missed you, so I came.”
Michelle was startled as if she didn’t expect Elysia’s answer to be so emotional. Before she could react, she felt a warm current flowing down her cheeks.
So she hurriedly wiped her tears with a finger and looked up at the sky.
“Mommy, mommy, why are you crying? I won’t mention Dad again. Please don’t cry, okay?” Ethan suddenly panicked and reached out his little hand to wipe her face.
Elysia was also at a loss, and hurriedly took a tissue from her pocket and handed it over. “Ms. Olson, here…”
After adjusting her mentality, Michelle put Ethan aside and said to Elysia in a teasing tone, “Didn’t you say you would come to me when you got into college? Why are you so late?”
This was the promise Elysia made to her.
She initially called her, wanting to ask how she was doing, but for some reason, the number Elysia gave her was initially unreachable and later became invalid.
Every year after the Scholastic Assessment Test, she would look forward to her phone ringing and Elysia’s voice coming from the other end.
But she waited year after year.
She waited until her husband had racked up a mountain of gambling debt and couldn’t even afford milk powder for her son and almost forgot that she had ever had such a student.
Elysia’s eyes dimmed slightly but quickly returned to their usual brightness. She had a smile on her lips as she said, “I didn’t go to university. I used my skills to find a job.”
Michelle’s expression softened from its initial stiffness as she said, “That’s good too. A stable income, no debts, and you’re single…
This murmur was so familiar that she could hardly tell whether it belonged to Elysia in front of her or to her past self.
Elysia didn’t ask what had happened or pour out the grievances of these years.
She slipped a card into the hand of the confused Michelle.
“This is what I’ve saved from working these past few years,” she said, “The PIN is six ones. Please accept it as a token of my gratitude for your kindness all those years ago.”
“No! Who told you I needed money? My life is great right now.” Upon hearing Elysia’s words, Michelle naturally refused. No matter how destitute she was, she would not violate her conscience by using her student’s money.
Moreover, this represented all the money Elysia had worked so hard to earn at her part–time job.
Elysia didn’t know how to respond and could only stubbornly return the card.
However, this action angered Michelle, who threw the card to the ground and angrily rebuked her, “Elysia, are you giving me charity?”
Hearing this, Elysia’s body trembled, and she froze in place.
She couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Why would she think that way? Ms. Olson had helped her in the same way back then. Why would she call this charity? How can I persuade Ms. Olson to accept the money?‘

Chapter 327
Leave and don’t come here again” Michelle teared Elysia would react stubbornly by trying to return the money, so she quickly grabbed the card from the thor and put it back in klesia’s pocket.
She also took the opportunity to push Klysia toward the door
Elysia felt torn between resistance and obedience, but the door had already been closed by the time she decided
Looking at the closed door, she thought that perhaps she should change her approach and do it in a way that wouldn’t be hated or noticed.
ha this reunion, they both tacitly concealed all the grievances they had suffered over the years.
Neither wanted the other to worry about them.
The scene changed, and Elysia had already taken the initiative to find these people who lent the usurious loan. Holding a photo of Michelle, she asked, “How much does her husband owe you?”
In reality
“Is that the new girl? She looks like her. Could it be her?”
Yes, and their last names are both Olson.”
“But didn’t they say Ms. Olson’s position was in Zledo City? We’re in Stoneford. It’d be awkward if we got the wrong person…”
Michelle, who was playing with the children at the daycare center, was drawn to her colleagues‘ discussion.
She asked, “What are you guys talking about?”
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, one of them shoved the screen before her and asked, “Do you know this woman?”
Michelle felt her vision blur, and the girl she had seen not long ago appeared before her eyes.
And the several burly men standing opposite her were so familiar that she saw them almost every three days,
They only disappeared for no reason in recent weeks.
Seizing this opportunity, she packed her bags and took Ethan on a seven–day journey across half of Fuvre by bus and train to get back to Stoneford.
Finally, she found a job with room and board at this nursery.
I’ll cover her debt. Don’t ever go to them again.” Michelle, who just finished reminiscing, happened to hear Elysia’s words.
She immediately widened her eyes and snatched the phone from her colleague’s hand.
Elysia, without blinking, transferred 1.5 million dollars to the account the big guy gave her.
1.3 million dollars.
[No! That’s not right. She only owes them 300 thousand dollars. These people are lying to you.]
Seeing the bullet comments below the screen, Michelle thought it was a live broadcast, so she quickly opened the input box and sent a message.
But all she got in return were sarcastic comments.
[How do you know there’s only 300 thousand dollars left?]
[Even if it’s true, it’s too late to say it now, right? It’s been so long.]
Come on, what’s the big deal? Does Elysia need this 1.5 million dollars! She is the heir of the Drayton Group and will have plenty of 1.5 million dollars in the future.]
Looking at these comments, Michelle felt extremely strange.
Isn’t Elysia the illegitimate daughter of the Drayton family?‘ she thought, ‘Moreover, she has several older brothers in her family. How could she

suddenly become the heir? Could it be that those people are already…
With a splat, the phone tumbled from her grasp, leaving the teacher beside her horrified.
She said, “Ms. Olson, you didn’t have to be so excited that you dropped my phone.”
“Ms. Bass, what are you worried about? She’s a big star’s lifesaver now. Isn’t it a piece of cake for her to compensate you with a new phone?” The other teachers also intentionally or unintentionally began to flatter Michelle, not noticing that her face was getting paler and paler.
“No, I should find her and get that 1.5 million dollars back first. It’s my debt and has nothing to do with her,” Michelle muttered, afraid that Elysia would do something bad to help her pay off her debts.
She was about to turn around and call for Ethan, ready to take him to the Drayton family with her.
But then, one of her colleagues stopped her and asked, “Are you going to see Elysia now? Please take me with you. Maybe I can be on TV by appearing in her memory when she wakes up?”
Michelle felt mentally drained after hearing this.
She asked again, making sure she heard correctly, “What memory? What show?”
And why was this filmed and broadcast live online?‘ Michelle only thought of this after she calmed down.
The teachers looked at each other.
One of them said, “You don’t know? Elysia participated in a memory retrieval show. The broadcast is about her memory from when she was a kid till now. It’s been broadcast for almost seven days.”
