Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth looked behind as her pursuers closed in and inexplicably felt a wave of panic. She knew that if she fell into their hands, things would not end well for her.

As she ran, she suddenly stumbled on a rock and tumbled to the ground, hitting her knee on the ground and leaving a bloody mess.

“Stop struggling and just give in.”

Rayan sent her a contorted smile and was about to pounce on her when he was pushed to the ground.

“Who was it?! Who touched me?!”

Rayan was aching with pain from his fall, and he lifted his head just to see an angry Yelena. Instantly, his eyes lit up. The young girl in front of him looked even more innocent and adorable than Elspeth, and the two seemed to know each other. At that thought, his mind fell into the gutter, and the corners of his mouth uncontrollably lifted into a wicked smile.

Meanwhile, Elspeth was stunned and speechless by the sight of Yelena. Why is Yelena at a place like this? she wondered frantically. Behind Yelena, there seemed to be a man silhouetted against the sunlight. She could vaguely tell that it was Max.

“Are you mad? Max, didn’t I tell you to look after Yelena? Why did you bring her to a place like this?”

Most importantly, they showed up at the worst possible moment when her life was at stake, and she had just offended Rayan, which meant that they would be classified as her accomplices. Elspeth’s heart was filled with unease. Glancing at Rayan’s lustful expression, she instantly knew what he was playing in his heart.

After being singled out by Elspeth, Max could not muster the courage to say anything, and he seemed awkward as well. If Yelena hadn’t thrown a tantrum to meet Elspeth after coming to Eden to participate in Fashion Week, he wouldn’t have turned to Arthur out of desperation and arrived at this place.

“Elspeth, I just missed you. Everyone was saying you were dead, but I never believed it. You’re so smart, so I figured you must’ve hidden the fact that you were alive from everyone else. In the end, I had to ask everywhere to get news of you!”

Yelena was too blinded by her joy of finding Elspeth again and didn’t seem to notice the incoming danger.
