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.

“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.

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