Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 306

“No idea, but I bet she was the one who sold us out.”

Elspeth didn’t know what to feel. “She didn’t seem that bad. How could she do this?”

“Hey, can’t judge a book by its cover, you know.” Gilbert lay on his bed and stared at the sculpted ceiling. “I’ll try to find a hole in their defenses and bust you out.”

“No. Even if you can run, you can’t bust me out. That old git won’t let me.” Her room was tightly guarded, and nobody could come in or go out without permission.

“I wonder whom he’s going to marry you off to. Why isn’t he satisfied with Callum?”

Gilbert was surprised. The Winthrop Family was one of the top families in Damoria and second to the Jonesons. Yet Callum, with all his genius, raised his family to become one of the top ten in the nation in just two years. He has a great future, so why did Michael do this?

“Because of what happened a long time ago.” Elspeth sighed and told him about the past.

Gilbert’s jaw dropped, and he almost fell from his bed. “Whoa, that’s a dark past. No wonder he won’t let you marry Callum. Even I think that’s unacceptable.”

“All right, go to sleep. I need to tell Harper to make some preparations to bust me out during the wedding. I’m also going to find out whom I’m going to marry.” Elspeth shot him a glare through the ring.

Interested, Gilbert said, “The only families on par with the Jonesons are the Winthrops, the Carrs, and mine.” Unless this guy is from abroad.

then she stopped abruptly. Yeah, so who is going to marry me? She wanted to say some more, but Gilbert had fallen asleep. That was fast. Elspeth teared up a little, then she stood up and cut off the
