Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 234

Emma browsed through the comments section. Almost all of them were pointing out her flaws and asking her to quit the film, or even stop acting altogether.

Even more, some people forwarded Elspeth’s video to humiliate Emma, indicating that even an amateur acted better than her.

Her body was shaking involuntarily in anger. Waking up to find red spots on her face not only held up her chance to shoot films but also forced her to be admitted to the hospital. To make things worse, even the netizens were criticizing her.

Just as she was feeling utterly upset, Arthur suddenly called her. Taking a deep breath, she read the caller ID on the screen, feeling nothing but irritation.

Nevertheless, she answered the call.

“Hello? What is it, Arthur?”

His voice betrayed a hint of panic, but he managed to hide it. “What happened to you? Have you seen the comments online?”

Emma blamed everything on her bad luck, so she answered sadly, “I have no idea. I woke up to find red spots on my face. However, Elspeth probably has something to do with the comments online. She surely is out to suppress me!”

Just the thought of this matter made Emma grit her teeth.

“Have you ever thought that Elspeth might be responsible for the red spots on your face?”

His words put a frown between her brows. “Really? Elspeth is staying in Damoria for the time being, isn’t she? Besides, I doubt she’s that capable.”

However, Arthur understood Elspeth’s capability to manipulate others very well. Thus, he sneered, “There’s one thing you need to know. Elspeth’s capabilities are beyond what you can imagine. You don’t even know how many identities she is using.”

Thinking that he was exaggerating Elspeth’s abilities on purpose, Emma frowned deeper. “So what? Even if she has exceptional abilities, she can’t do anything to my face, can she? I visited the doctor a while ago. He says that I’m allergic to plants. It might be caused by—”
