Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 532 The Truth or a Lie

A rather embarrassed look surfaced in Yelena’s eyes after she heard Hank’s words. “So, after that…”

“After that, I spent two years completing my course at the university. Then, I went home to take over my father’s company. I wanted to contact you to offer you help with losing weight, but I later found out that you had already slimmed down and were about to debut. So, I purchased all of the magazines that you appeared in throughout the first year of your career. I’d say that I was one of the major reasons you became so famous,” Hank uttered.

Yelena hadn’t expected such a thing to have happened in the past—just the thought of it made the whole thing seem rather ridiculous. “Why didn’t you show up in the past, then?” Yelena was puzzled. This means that I had a famous benefactor that has been supporting me all along. Yet, no one ever knew about it, and Hank didn’t even plan on telling me about it!

“Yeah. I didn’t tell you about this because back then when I first wanted to open up to you, I found out that you had already fallen for Max,” Hank explained. Yelena found herself walking down memory lane. She would never forget how she spent her youth—Max filled her mind on most days after he protected her.

As a result, Yelena had been blinded by what was before her eyes, and she didn’t notice Hank, who had been secretly supporting her the whole time. “Well, if I had already fallen for Max, then… Why didn’t you just give up on me?” Yelena asked. Logically speaking, if Hank found out that I was doing well, shouldn’t he have forgotten about me and cut ties with me? Yelena wondered.

“That’s what I thought at first. I figured that I would leave once you rose to fame. However, I hadn’t expected myself to end up thinking about a chubby girl with a ball in her hand whenever I go to bed at night. I couldn’t erase that thought from my mind…” Yelena’s face turned pink when she heard of the memory that Hank clung onto. “What are you talking about? You’re the chubby one.” She punched him playfully.
