Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 192

“Yes, she’s a big celebrity,” someone from the crowd said. “There’s no way she would be forgotten. Emma is so humble.”

The girls standing around them were avid fans of Emma. All of them thought Emma had a conflicted look on her face because she was embarrassed.

“See? Everyone thinks you’re feeling guilty,” Elspeth said, smiling brightly at Emma. “Oh, wait. They think you’re humble. It is only a phone call, Miss Walker. It’s nothing big.”

Emma gritted her teeth and kept quiet, too scared to speak.

The call went through. Harper was sleeping when Elspeth called, so he answered the call with messy hair and a sleepy look in his eyes. Even so, his attractiveness could not be hidden.

“What is it, Elsie?” he asked.

Emma had been hoping Harper would actually be the seller she had contacted, but her heart sank when she saw his face.

“Is the Heart of Rupert still with you?” Elspeth asked.

Harper took a sip of water to wake himself up. “Yes. Why?”

“A woman here says you sold her the watch. Can you see if it’s her?”

When Harper spotted the awkward smile on Emma’s face, he frowned. “Who is this? Why would I sell off the watch? You know I only buy watches, and I never sell anything.”

“Forget about her. Can you show everyone here the watch?” Elspeth asked.

She was afraid the crowd would think she was lying. If Emma seized the chance to pull the wool over their eyes, her reputation would be smeared again.

However, Harper was confused but still brought out the watch from his collection. The moment the box opened, everyone’s eyes were glued to it. It was gleaming with a faint blue glow surrounding it. A red diamond heart was embedded in the center of the watch. It looked so much more dazzling than the watch Emma gave Mr. Winthrop.
