Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 422 The Lovestruck Benefactor Is Right in Front of Her

Hank didn't seem surprised. "Also, you can just tell your father to fire the project manager related to this collaboration."

The truth had already come out as soon as he said that.

Still, Yelena couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "But I want to know how you managed to catch the culprit!"

Elspeth was beside her and she couldn't hold her giggle upon hearing Yelena's words.

Yelena turned her head and glanced at Elspeth. Seeing that she was trying not to laugh, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you laughing? Do you know something too?"

"I'd better leave it to Hank to tell you."

Elspeth didn't want to be the one to leak the secret.

Hank only grew calmer as he announced, "This is a secret."

"Urgh! Can we even still hang out together? Both of you are keeping it from me!" Yelena lowered her head and poked the piece of salmon on the plate fiercely with her fork.

I'm going to cover you in holes!

"Alright, alright. Since this matter has been perfectly resolved, why don't we drink some wine to celebrate?" Elspeth pointed at the bottle of white wine beside her.

Half an hour passed after that. She fell into deep thought while she looked at the flushed Yelena who was drinking.

Was I too careless when I said that earlier? I don't even know whether that was the right decision to make.

Yelena seemed to have gotten drunk the same way back then.

However, the man they were sitting with was still clear-headed after taking only two sips of the white wine.

While Yelena jumped here and there on the side, Elspeth and Hank sat there facing each other like no one else was around.

"I sure was surprised to learn of your identity, Mr. Damazio." Elspeth let out a small smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Likewise, Miss Lynwood. You even have several identities," Hank replied in a similar tone.

She remained calm and composed. "Still, that is nothing compared to you, Mr. Damazio. I had to use my most elite system to find out your identity. The young master of StoneY Group, hmm? That's one hell of a hole card."
