Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 602 Simone’s Visit

“Let’s not panic just yet. I should talk to Elspeth first,” Yelena murmured to herself. After all, she was a talent under Elspeth; if anything happened to her, Elspeth would suffer a significant loss. “Yes. She must know about it now too.”

Suddenly, Yelena’s heart skipped a beat when she finally received Elspeth’s phone call, but she never expected Elspeth to be unconcerned and even pleased with the news.

“Why are you worried? Don’t you realize this is a great opportunity to boost your popularity?” Elspeth asked.

“My fans are denouncing me,” Yelena hoarsely replied. “The damage just isn’t that bad yet.”

There were two camps of her fans: those who were sure she was innocent and those who were on the fence but made it clear they intended to denounce her. During that period, most of her fans had already done so, with several bashing her as they left her.

“That is a fleeting and unimportant fan base, just like those who denounce you does not matter. Furthermore, I don’t think many of your fans are abandoning you. It’s fine. These numbers will build back up in the future.”

After hearing that, Yelena felt her heart slowly settle down. “Do you have a plan in mind then, Elspeth?”

“Someone is pulling the strings this time, which is why you were framed,” Elspeth slyly explained. “We’ll be playing the long game to expose the mastermind.”

“You’re still the best!” Yelena exclaimed. After the call, she finally stopped worrying.
