Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 387 To the Wilstone Residence

After she got off work the next day, Elspeth saw a conspicuous red sports car stopped by the roadside. She never really paid attention to the cars around the building. All she knew was that Jethro would usually pick her up in modest cars. This wasn’t his style, but then Jethro came out of it. He was wearing a deep brown shirt, a big, devilish smile curling his lips.

Then, he said, “I’m here to pick you up, Elsie. Now, can you come home with me?”

Elspeth harrumphed. And I thought he’d be more mature. I see the change of clothes didn’t change his attitude. He’s making it sound like I’m his fiancée who’s going to meet his parents. Fine, I’ll play along. She said, “I still have to get changed and buy some presents.”

Jethro pointed at the back seat. It was filled with all kinds of presents. “I’ve bought everything you might need. And you’re a guest. Drop the formalities. Now, get in.”

She shrugged and got into the car.

Not too long later, she was taken to the Wilstone Residence. It was a resplendent place, the doors high and mighty. There were circular windows all around, and stone structures littered the corner. I see why Jethro doesn’t care about money. This whole place reeks of wealth.

Even before she got out of the car, Elspeth saw a stretch of a red carpet draped over the field outside. Standing at the sides were the residence’s servants holding a tray filled with petals of flowers. Why does this look like a wedding ceremony? Carefully, she got out of the car. The moment she stepped onto the carpet, the servants quickly tossed the petals into the air, and all of them rained down on her. She was shocked, but she could do nothing about it.

Elspeth turned around, but Jethro looked calm. In fact, he looked delighted. Why is he looking like that?

She shot him a look, but the man only gave her a look that said, ‘Calm down.’

“Alright, come with me.” He stepped forth and held her hand, trying to take her in.
