Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 574 Fish in Troubled Waters

Following a disappointing visit, the butler instructed the men to leave the boxes at the door before departing in despair.

On the other hand, Elspeth thought the issue was over, and the Harley Family would be quiet for a while. Unexpectedly, a few days later, she received a call from Helia. Elspeth had not informed her mother of everything she had learned that day, so she panicked when she received Helia’s call. She had a feeling that the matter wasn’t as simple as she expected it to be. Moreover, she understood Welson’s character well enough to conclude that he could have kidnapped Helia.

“What’s wrong, Mom? Are you alright?”

Helia had called to tell her about something interesting that had happened that day, but when she heard her daughter’s anxious tone, she realized something was wrong. “I’m fine, but did something happen? Why would you suddenly ask that?”

“Oh… Thank goodness you’re fine. Mom, why are you calling?”

Helia had always been concerned that she could cause trouble for Elspeth, who was now married. Hence, she avoided calling her daughter unless necessary.

“Well, this morning, I suddenly received a few parcels, which turned out to be expensive jewelry when I unboxed them.” Helia furrowed her brows tight. “I don’t have many friends, so I’m calling to ask if you were the one who sent them.”

After hearing that, Elspeth immediately knew who the sender was. “Is there anything else besides jewelry?”
