Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Without flinching, Elspeth turned her attention to Emma and smiled a bloodthirsty grin. “I have tolerated you for a long time, Emma. Are you sure you want to continue angering me?”

Suddenly, Emma felt shivers run down her spine at the sight of her, but she kept her back straight because she still had the upper hand. “You’re the one who is in the wrong here. Enough with the nonsense.”

“Do you see me trembling in fear? Send it if you have the courage, Emma, but if you can’t bring yourself to do so, then stop bothering me.”

In response, Emma huffed coldly, “Who said I couldn’t?” She then initiated a chat with Callum and prepared to send the video to him.

Nevertheless, Elspeth remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Emma’s face twisted into an ugly look. “He blocked me… Did you do this?” She had not expected Elspeth to have such a trump card in her sleeve.

“It’s fine. Cal will see it eventually.” Emma ran her fingers through her hair as a radiant smile spread across her face. “Tomorrow, I will hand-deliver the video to him personally.”

Then, Elspeth raised her head and glanced at the entrance, which was immediately locked from the inside. “Before coming here to trouble me, did it ever occur to you that this is my domain?” she asked.

At that moment, Emma’s smile immediately faded. “What do you want, Elspeth?” All of a sudden, she felt anxious. She believed Elspeth would beg and plead in fear because she possessed the upper hand. However, she never anticipated the unexpected turn of events.

“What do I want? I only want to properly welcome you.” Following that, Elspeth smirked and waved her hand. Soon, a few burly, fierce-looking men approached them.

The sight made Emma’s legs tremble in fear. So, she backed off a few steps before making a break for it, but she ended up running straight into a muscular chest and fell on the floor.
