Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 664

Chapter 664 Possible Pregnancy
“I’ve already said that I don’t have the capabilities you think I do, and I have no
interest in the Damazio Family either. If you insist on me helping you bring down the
Damazio Family, then perhaps we can’t continue this conversation anymore.” After
speaking, Elspeth stood up and got ready to leave.
“Hey, don’t be in a hurry to leave just yet. Maybe I can offer you other conditions.”
“There’s no need to say anything else. I have no interest in any conditions you might
have to offer.”
“What about… Yelena’s future?”
At that, Elspeth halted and asked, “What do you mean?”
When Slevin saw her stopping in her tracks, he knew that she had taken the bait.
“Nothing much. I just so happen to know some stories about Yelena’s past.”
Her expression turned cold immediately. “What do you know?”
With a nonchalant expression, he leaned back and replied, “It’s nothing much—just
that she was in a relationship with Max before, and they broke up. After that, Max died
because of her. Oh, and if I recall correctly, he also donated his bone marrow to her.”
“How would these things affect her future if they were revealed?” She remained calm.
“Miss Lynwood, you’ve worked in the entertainment industry before. You must know
the kind of sensation these news stories would create. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have
taken measures to keep these things from being exposed domestically.”
Hearing that, she clenched her right hand into a fist. How does he know about this?
“I know you’re probably wondering how I know all this. You’ve done a good job of
hiding, but the truth will come out eventually. Hence, you might want to carefully
consider whether or not you want to work with me.” His smile appeared harmless, but

his words were lethal.
“I need to think about this carefully.” After all, it involved Yelena, so Elspeth couldn’t
ignore that.
“No problem. Take your time to think it over.” He knew that her uttering those words
meant there was already a 50 percent chance of cooperation. “By the way, that silly
Yelena still doesn’t know about Hank’s situation. Perhaps she’ll be even more
devastated when she finds out.”
Slevin then stood up and straightened his clothes. “I’ve said everything I needed to.
The rest is up to you, Miss Lynwood. I truly hope we can work together. Here’s my
business card. If you agree, feel free to contact me, and I’ll provide you with all the
details.” With that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and accepted it.
“I’ll be waiting for your call.” He made a phone call gesture and left with a smile.
Once he was gone, she returned to her office, unable to calm her thoughts for a long
time.
It wasn’t until Harper approached her that she snapped back to reality. “What are you
thinking about, Miss Elspeth?” He placed a stack of documents on her desk and
teased her, saying, “Are you so happy about Alphascape Group’s downfall that you’ve
forgotten about everything else?”
He didn’t know she had something on her mind and assumed she was ecstatic about
Alphascape Group’s demise.
Indeed, it was a relief. Ever since Yena’s imprisonment and subsequent suicide,
Alphascape Group had been on the decline. The recent scandals made it impossible
for the company to recover. Executives had already fled with the money, leaving
behind only a few regular employees who couldn’t make any waves.
“There’s one question now, though. Should we acquire Alphascape Group?”
Although Alphascape Group’s reputation was tarnished, it still had outstanding
achievements in certain fields. If they could acquire the company, it might elevate
Azure’s development even further.
“No.”
Harper couldn’t quite understand where Elspeth was coming from when he heard her
answer, for it wasn’t in line with her usual style of doing things. Alphascape Group is a
tempting target, even if it has been severely destroyed. Other companies are eyeing it
too. Shouldn’t Elspeth know its value?
“Why shouldn’t we acquire it?”
As she rubbed her temples, she explained, “Alphascape Group’s recent troubles are
related to us. Although what we did was just and right, rushing to acquire it would
undoubtedly raise suspicion of ulterior motives. Even if we succeed in the acquisition,
it would be a vulnerable point, potentially becoming our biggest weakness in the
future. In the business world, once someone finds a vulnerability, things can easily go
wrong.”
Hearing this, Harper finally understood. “You always think ahead, Miss Elspeth. Sorry,
I hadn’t considered things carefully enough.”
