Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 146

Elspeth laughed awkwardly at that. Sh*t. He is doubting my identity again.

Though Callum did not have any proof, she still felt nervous. “No, I’m just being rational. Is it a problem to be good at logical reasoning?”

Hearing that, Callum retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly, “Nothing. It’s just that you seem to run your own entertainment company from what you’ve just said.”

Elspeth almost couldn’t catch her breath and coughed a little. “If I had an entertainment company, why would I need to work for you? You’re reading too much into it.”

However, Callum did not agree with what she said this time and merely remained silent, seemingly in deep thought.

“That’s enough; stop thinking about me. Let’s hurry to Yelena’s house now. Many people are now aware that she is the daughter of the Sullivan Family after the birthday banquet yesterday. I’m afraid people are swarming around her house now.”

Callum nodded in agreement and quickly sent Elspeth to the Sullivan Residence.

Yelena’s rumor directly caused a 5% decline in the Sullivan Corporation’s shares, resulting in huge losses. When Hex learned about the matter, he went to the company early in the morning to handle the situation.

After all, this concerned his sister whom he doted on. He couldn’t possibly ignore the situation and leave her in a lurch.

At the same time, Yelena almost collapsed when she read the news after she woke up early in the morning.

She was upset not only because she was being defamed, but also because Max went to the bar to drink and did not return for the entire night. Worse, he even behaved intimately with another woman.

Seeing her dejected expression, Finn felt sorry for her. He went closer to her and put his arm around her shoulder, allowing her to lean on him.

“Don’t worry, Yelena. This won’t affect your celebrity career. Don’t think too much about it.”

Yelena, however, shook her head, still looking forlorn. “I am not worrying about this.”

“What are you worried about then? Don’t tell me you’re concerned that Max messes around with another woman. I have told you previously that he is not a decent guy, but you refuse to listen. See, I got it right.”

Finn’s words did not offer any comfort to Yelena at all. Instead, she became more depressed.
