Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 368 Redemption

“Why?” Jethro shrugged in defeat. He thought he would’ve wooed her with the move, but who’d have thought it did nothing at all?!

“Haven’t I just said? This isn’t an issue that only involves you.”

If the Wilstones showed up at her doorstep to find their precious heir out in public and working a second-rate job as a social media influencer, she wouldn’t be surprised if they assassinated her.

“But my family knows that I’ve come to be a social media influencer, and they’re quite supportive of me.”

His words shocked Elspeth, and she reached a finger out to poke the barely legal adult’s shoulder. “Don’t mimic and deceive others when you’ve only recently become an adult, kiddo.”

She was six years his senior, so she wasn’t wrong to call him a kid.

“I’m not lying.” Seeing that she still didn’t believe him, Jethro pulled his phone out of his pocket and played her a clip, where the entire Wilstone Family was smiling while they sat on the couch.

“Miss Lynwood, my son keeps telling me that he wants to work in your company. Coincidentally, we were thinking of training him, so we hope you can treat him well.”

Elspeth honestly didn’t think he would pull a clip out, let alone the fact that the Wilstones were so liberal.

Then again, you guys are being a little too liberal, don’t you think?

Nonetheless, since the Wilstones already put it that way, she’d just begrudgingly make him a signed talent.

“Another thing, Jethro. I forgot to ask you earlier. Why did your parents ask me to guide you?” It wasn’t until later that Elspeth registered the fact that Jethro’s parents trusted her a lot for some reason.

“I told them you’re very capable.”

“And the truth is?” Skepticism came to Elspeth as she looked at the teenager’s insouciant smile.

Jethro turned his head and met her eyes. “I told them you’re my future wife.”

Future wife… This can’t get any more absurd!
