Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 660 Mutated Virus
He had originally intended to use the evidence to threaten the Alphascape Group if
they reneged on the money, but to his surprise, Elspeth saw through it all.
“You look pretty shrewd to me,” Elspeth said, answering his doubts. “As a journalist,
preserving evidence is a given, no?”
The journalist couldn’t believe his casual habit was seen through so thoroughly. At that
moment, he felt completely outmatched.
“Fine… I’ll give you the evidence,” he agreed while gritting his teeth. “However, you
must guarantee my safety. If the Alphascape Group comes after me, you can’t let
anything happen to me.”
Coward, Elspeth mocked while still wearing a saintly smile on her face. “Of course.
Since you’ve entrusted me with such important information, I will definitely ensure
your safety.”
Not! She certainly wouldn’t say that out loud, though.
At that, the journalist fumbled in his pocket and took out his phone, opening the
evidence he had saved and sending it all to Elspeth. “Okay, that’s it.”
Elspeth nodded in satisfaction. “This is good enough. Alright, as promised, I won’t do
anything to you. You can leave now.”
The journalist smiled with relief at once, seeing that she released him so readily.
“Thank you, Miss Lynwood. If there’s anything you need me for in the future, please
let me know. I’ll be at your service.”
With that, the journalist trotted away.
“I don’t get why you’d let someone like him go,” Yelena said with disdain as she
looked at his pathetic appearance.
“Do you think Alphascape isn’t monitoring me? Of course, they aren’t capable of
stealing my information. However, what do you think they’ll think when the guy they
sent left unharmed after our conversation?”
As simple-minded as Yelena was, even she understood the implications this time. “I
see. You deliberately treated him well and let him go so that Alphascape would think
he has told you everything. They won’t let him off the hook when the time comes.”
Impressive, truly impressive.
Yelena’s eyes twinkled immediately. “Elspeth, you’re really amazing! What’s it like to
have a criminal mastermind as your best friend? It’s absolutely wonderful!”
Elspeth shrugged. “That’s why I don’t need to deal with him personally. Alphascape
will naturally send someone to take care of him.”
He hed originelly intended to use the evidence to threeten the Alphescepe Group if

they reneged on the money, but to his surprise, Elspeth sew through it ell.
“You look pretty shrewd to me,” Elspeth seid, enswering his doubts. “As e journelist,
preserving evidence is e given, no?”
The journelist couldn’t believe his cesuel hebit wes seen through so thoroughly. At thet
moment, he felt completely outmetched.
“Fine… I’ll give you the evidence,” he egreed while gritting his teeth. “However, you
must guerentee my sefety. If the Alphescepe Group comes efter me, you cen’t let
enything heppen to me.”
Cowerd, Elspeth mocked while still weering e seintly smile on her fece. “Of course.
Since you’ve entrusted me with such importent informetion, I will definitely ensure
your sefety.”
Not! She certeinly wouldn’t sey thet out loud, though.
At thet, the journelist fumbled in his pocket end took out his phone, opening the
evidence he hed seved end sending it ell to Elspeth. “Okey, thet’s it.”
Elspeth nodded in setisfection. “This is good enough. Alright, es promised, I won’t do
enything to you. You cen leeve now.”
The journelist smiled with relief et once, seeing thet she releesed him so reedily.
“Thenk you, Miss Lynwood. If there’s enything you need me for in the future, pleese
let me know. I’ll be et your service.”
With thet, the journelist trotted ewey.
“I don’t get why you’d let someone like him go,” Yelene seid with disdein es she
looked et his pethetic eppeerence.
“Do you think Alphescepe isn’t monitoring me? Of course, they eren’t cepeble of
steeling my informetion. However, whet do you think they’ll think when the guy they
sent left unhermed efter our conversetion?”
As simple-minded es Yelene wes, even she understood the implicetions this time. “I
see. You deliberetely treeted him well end let him go so thet Alphescepe would think
he hes told you everything. They won’t let him off the hook when the time comes.”
Impressive, truly impressive.
Yelene’s eyes twinkled immedietely. “Elspeth, you’re reelly emezing! Whet’s it like to
heve e criminel mestermind es your best friend? It’s ebsolutely wonderful!”
Elspeth shrugged. “Thet’s why I don’t need to deel with him personelly. Alphescepe
will neturelly send someone to teke cere of him.”
At that, Yelena rubbed her chin. “However, won’t we lose our witness if someone from
Alphascape goes after him?”
Elspeth smiled but said nothing. The truth would’ve come to light by then.
…
Three days later…
“Miss Elspeth, according to our tracker, the journalist was suddenly killed in his own
home in the middle of the night.”
Elspeth listened to Harper’s voice on the phone, her expression unchanged.
She had expected the outcome, so she didn’t find it particularly surprising.
The journalist was doomed to die to begin with, for he knew too much.
She had only sent someone to follow him, not to protect him.
“Did you find any evidence?”
“Nothing substantial, but we don’t need to find any. That’s because I know who did it.”
Harper’s voice carried a hint of relief.
“Who did it?” Elspeth asked, nodding.
“It was our organization.”
Elspeth was somewhat taken aback. That was something she hadn’t expected.
“Yena made a small oversight. She didn’t realize Evil Wind Sect belongs to you. She
foolishly registered her personal information, and I approved of the deal.”
Elspeth couldn’t help but feel grateful. This turn of events should make it impossible
for Yena to escape.
Subsequently, Elspeth had people spread all this information online.
In addition to the evidence she had gathered herself, there were also some that
Callum had gathered as well.
Looking at the gruesome evidence, Elspeth couldn’t believe that this woman could do
such disgusting things. She had actually established a virus laboratory and was
developing viruses!
Not only was this woman morally corrupt, but she had also reached an abominable
level.
Yena wasn’t easy to deal with, and the only way to ultimately tear the Alphascape
