Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 558 I Don’t Want to Go Against You

Life had returned to normal, but Elspeth felt a sudden emptiness without the person who used to cause chaos by her side. However, it seemed that everything was not over yet. Yelena came to the Winthrop Residence one day, then she grabbed Elspeth’s arm and shook it. “Elspeth, can you tell me what exactly happened that day?”

Yelena had not been there, and she expressed great regret for not knowing what had happened. So, she specifically took a day off just to find out how the villain, Arthur Winthrop met his end. Elspeth’s mouth twitched, but looking at Yelena’s blinking and hopeful eyes, she couldn’t bear to refuse Yelena.

“He took his own life.”

“He did?” Yelena was shocked. “Someone like him would actually take his own life? I thought he would kill everyone instead.”

Elspeth thought that this actually fit Arthur’s character more too.

“Actually, before that, I thought Arthur quite liked you. I never thought he would do such a thing in the end.” Yelena looked at the scar on Elspeth’s face and felt sorry for her. “He really cut you with a knife, huh?” Elspeth didn’t know why Arthur suddenly lost his cool, but she also felt that he wouldn’t have actually hurt her. However, she had also seen confusion and guilt in his eyes at the time.

“Well, that’s all in the past now.”

Although Arthur was still quite despicable, his death still made people feel depressed. Even Callum had been gloomy for a while.

“What about Jethro? What’s going on with him?” Yelena couldn’t understand why Jethro, who had clearly become enemies with them, suddenly stepped forward to testify against Arthur. Elspeth looked at her and told her what had happened a while ago.

The day before Arthur came to discuss things, Jethro suddenly came to her. He was drunk and invited her to meet him at a bar. She was originally going to refuse, but Jethro said that if she was willing to come, he would tell her everything about Arthur. “I know you want to bring down Arthur. If you want to, you definitely need the evidence I have.”
