Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 491 I Have Seen You Before

“At first, everything was fine after I got released from prison. I got myself a normal job. Even though I didn’t get paid much, it was enough to sustain my day-to-day expenses. Somehow, the thug’s family managed to find me and they blackmailed me to pay them every month. As I disobeyed them, they found a way to ruin my life. At last, I was dismissed and had to take a job as a sanitation worker. They finally decided to leave me alone because I looked miserable in their eyes.”

Elspeth studied every detail of Helia’s face. Even though she’s aged, she’s still as beautiful as ever.

However, she couldn’t help but sigh as she remembered Helia had to endure all the hardships in her life.

“One day, I came across a person on the street. He took me by surprise and knocked me out. After that, I woke up to find myself on an operating table without clothes on.”

The story continued, and Elspeth couldn’t pin down the feeling that was wrenching her heart.

“They said I have special blood and it could be used in different experiments. I was scared, so I tried my best to run away, but I always got caught and beaten up by them. However, they didn’t experiment on me. Instead, they locked me up with the excuse of making the most of my value.”

Elspeth’s gaze was filled with iciness when she heard that. By making the most of her value, they must have thought to use her to drag me down because they found that we look alike.

“Truth be told, Elspeth, I have seen you before.”

She what?

Elspeth couldn’t help her curiosity. She had a strange feeling that she also found Helia familiar. “And where was that?”

According to Elspeth’s memory, her recent trip abroad was half a year ago.

Half a year ago, she and Arthur had to travel abroad to treat Helena’s disease.

“It was back when I was a sanitation worker in another country. Once, you were visiting the red-light district. I tried to stop you, but you headed there without looking back.”
