Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 57 Max Plagiarized

Mr. Lou suddenly became interested as he asked, “What’s your grandfather’s name?”

“Hunter James.”

Hearing that name, Mr. Lou instantly felt a bolt from the blue. Gradually, his eyes turned moist. “I can’t believe you are Hunter’s granddaughter. Your grandfather and I were close friends! But…”

He couldn’t help pulling Elspeth’s hands and sighing. “I can’t believe you are Azure Corporation’s president. You are so successful at such a young age. I believe Hunter will be able to rest in peace in the afterworld.”

“Mr. Lou, about the collaboration…” Elspeth asked tentatively, but before she could finish her sentence, Mr. Lou interrupted her, “There’s no need to mention this cooperation anymore. Even if there are future projects in store, I would continue cooperating with Azure Corporation!”

After hearing that, his assistant widened his eyes. “Mr. Lou, you can’t say that… Some of our cooperation depends on the ability of the partner!”

Mr. Lou was infuriated as he glared at his assistant. “What? Do you think Elspeth is not capable enough, or are you questioning an old man’s vision?”

The assistant lowered his head in fright and stopped talking.

Elspeth smiled after hearing that. “Thank you, Mr. Lou.”

“Don’t worry about it. Feel free to visit Lou Residence when you have time. You really did inherit your grandpa’s temperament…”

Mr. Lou then chatted with Elspeth for a long time until the sky turned dark. Only then did he reluctantly let her go.

Elspeth originally thought that it would take a long time to solve the matter, but eventually, she successfully completed the task after a meeting. Now that Azure Corporation’s crisis was resolved and they even gained a strong and solid supporter, Elspeth suddenly felt relieved. Right now, she should return to Winthrop Group to resume work, but when she thought of what Callum said to her that day, she no longer wanted to return to the company.

Callum should have gotten back together with his first love, and the two must be in a fiery session right now. If she were to go home, it wouldn’t seem appropriate, and she would only be a buzzkill.
