Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 661

Chapter 661 Chat on the Rooftop
At night, Elspeth showed up alone, as promised, outside the Alphascape Group
building. It was already after work hours, so there were hardly any people inside. As
she entered, the only person present seemed to be the security officer at the
entrance.
The security guard, seeing her alone, curiously asked, “Miss, everyone in this building
has already gone home from work. There are hardly any people inside now. Who are
you here to see?”
With a smile, she replied, “I know. I’m here to see someone.”
Puzzled by her ambiguous answer, the security guard scratched his head in
confusion. “Weird, but miss, you should leave quickly after you’re done. It’s not safe to
be alone at night, especially for a young girl like you.”
Of course, she could protect herself, but since his concern was well-intentioned, she
didn’t say much to him. She just smiled at him and walked inside.
Strangely enough, the place where Yena had asked her to meet this time was not the
office but the rooftop of the company building.
Once inside the elevator, Elspeth pressed the button for the top floor. As the elevator
ascended, she pondered Yena’s intentions in asking her over. When the elevator
doors opened, the strong wind on the rooftop gradually brought her back to full
alertness.
The rooftop had been designed in a style resembling a small villa. At this moment,
Yena was sitting at a table with two glasses of wine placed in front of her.
Upon seeing Elspeth approaching, she surprisingly showed a friendly attitude. “Wow,
you’re here. You’re quite punctual.”

Elspeth sat down opposite her with an expressionless face, not touching the wine in
front of her, and directly asked, “So, why did you ask me to come here today?”
When Yena saw that Elspeth didn’t drink the wine, she didn’t force her either. She
picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip.
“I have my reasons for asking you here today, of course, but don’t worry. I’m not here
to discuss work with you. I just wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation.”
Elspeth found her words ironic. “You don’t have to beat around the bush. Just say
what you want to say.”
Judging from Yena’s slightly flushed face, she appeared to have already consumed
several drinks. “I said that I asked you to come here today simply to have a drink and
chat with you. Why don’t you believe me?”
“You put something in the wine, right?”
At her suspicion, Yena suddenly blew a fuse. She directly picked up the glass of wine
in front of Elspeth and finished it in one gulp. “Why would I put something in your
drink?”
After finishing her drink, she turned the glass upside down and smashed it on the
ground after she confirmed that not a drop was left.
Crack! The shattering sound made Elspeth instantly alert.
“If you have nothing special to discuss with me, then I’ll leave now.” She had no
interest in chatting about life with Yena.
However, Yena was persistent. “Why don’t you want to chat with me? Didn’t you
promise me?”
“What did I promise you?” Elspeth turned around, looking puzzled.
“You promised to come and chat with me.”
Elspeth thought she might have had too much to drink, having no interest in her
nonsense.
Just as she was about to stand up and leave, Yena’s voice came from behind her. “If
you take one step away from here today, I will immediately release that mutant virus.”
At once, Elspeth turned around with an icy gaze. “What do you want from me?”
“I’ve said it many times already. Just chat with me.”
Elspeth had no choice but to reluctantly sit back down. “Fine. Speak.”
A smile tugged on Yena’s lips, and her eyes shone with an unfathomable light. “Do
you know what I’ve been through all these years?”
Elspeth naturally had no idea because, in her memory, Yena had died a long time ago.
At this moment, Yena picked up the nearby wine glass and poured herself another
drink. “Right. It’s pointless for me to ask you this question. Let me tell you then. Three
years ago, when I was lying in the hospital bed in a vegetative state, Arthur, the man
who claimed to love me forever, bribed a nurse to remove my oxygen tank.”
As Elspeth listened to these words, she remained silent.
“You know what? At that time, I knew nothing. But the reason his plan failed was
because the nurse he bribed happened to be one of my relatives.” Yena spoke, her
face showing a grateful relief.
