Chapter 533 You’re No Match

“So, this has been going on for such a long time?” Simone’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected Yelena to be the one who had saved her son. Furthermore, she had no idea that her son had been motivated to inherit the business at a younger age just so that he could support Yelena’s career to repay her kindness. Interesting… This is really interesting.

“Are you mad at me, Miss Balkan?” Even though Yelena had been transparent about everything, she still felt rather anxious. Hank spent a large sum of his money on me. Wouldn’t Miss Balkan be furious to hear this?

“Why should I be angry?” Simone chuckled. “Isn’t it great that both of you managed to support each other at different points in life?” Support… I don’t think I’ve supported Hank in any way, Yelena thought.

“I think you might have misunderstood something, Miss Balkan. We’ve already broken up with each other, and I…” Yelena felt rather helpless at that point. Does this mean that Miss Balkan is actually supportive of our relationship? In that case, why did we rush into this whole act of breaking up with each other?

It seemed like he was certain that Simone had visited Yelena just to threaten Yelena to stay away from him. Yelena quickly shook her head. “It isn’t what you think. There has been a misunderstanding,”

Is that how you’re supposed to treat your savior?” Simone clicked her tongue at her son while giving him a disdainful glare. I can’t believe I spent all my years nurturing this boy into a young man with such a horrible attitude! Yelena is such an innocent and kind young lady—I can’t believe she had to suffer because of him. Well, she does seem like a rather honest and simple
