Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

After bidding the three a farewell, Elspeth began to prepare for her trip back to Blaydal. She had planned to make a Twitter post to announce that she was about to get engaged to Jordan in order not to look as pathetic, but she was met with Jordan’s disapproval.

“Some people are already calling Callum an irresponsible scum, but if they find out that you’re also engaged to someone else, wouldn’t that ruin your credibility?” Jordan smiled mysteriously with a hint of imperceptible slyness as he continued, “It’d be better to wait a few days before posting it. Not only will it make Callum seem like a b*stard, but you can even keep up with your grieving and pitiful persona. Isn’t that a better plan?”

Elspeth did not expect Jordan to have such a cunning side to him and did not know what to say in reply. However, she did agree with his idea.

Upon seeing that she had given up on making a Twitter post, Jordan caressed her hair. “Our engagement will eventually be exposed either way, so why not use this as a chance to teach Callum a lesson?”

Elspeth was extremely shocked by his plan. “It’s a shame that you aren’t working in public relations.”

Jordan finally stopped laughing and said with a serious face, “Is your company still hiring? If you are, I’ll sign up.”

Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Oh, shut up.”

“So, why are you telling me this?”

Elspeth couldn’t wrap her mind around why he would put himself in such a position for her sake.

“Didn’t I tell you before? It’s because I like you, and I really want to be with you.”

Elspeth couldn’t quite make out the truth of Jordan’s words. Looking at the smile on his face, she was unable to think that he would approach her with any other purpose, but he didn’t seem particularly sincere either.

That night, they took a plane back to Blaydal. Upon seeing how compliant Elspeth was, Michael was overjoyed and immediately allocated twenty percent of Joneson Corporation’s shares to her. With the marriage between Blaydal’s Joneson Family and Bellville’s Carr Family, every powerful and influential family in Blaydal, Bellville, Damoria, Waterside, and even those along the coast offered their congratulations.

This matter took the internet by storm as well. As Elspeth owned many different identities and had fans from different areas, the news even overpowered Emma and Callum’s popularity all of a sudden.
