Chapter 89

“It’s all Max’s fault. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have left the place in a fit of anger and bumped into my rival’s manager who then kidnapped me.” The thought of Max being intimate with that woman made Yelena’s blood boil.

“You’re mad because you have feelings for him and yet you’re blaming him.”

Knowing that she couldn’t outargue that. Yelena immediately changed the subject. “I remembered that you came for me shortly after. What took you so long?” Yelena was just curious, and she wasn’t blaming Elspeth for the delay.
