Chapter 424 They Will All Slowly Fade From Memory

"What is it to you? If memory serves, the both of you broke up a long time ago."

Max loathed it when people talked about his pain, and he immediately lost his temper. "It's none of your business whether we broke up or not. You are only an outsider. You have no right to meddle in our relationship!"

"Sorry to break it to you, but I'm her prospective boyfriend now. I have more right than anyone else to care about things like this." Hank's voice was low and domineering when he said that.

"Prospective boyfriend?" Max was taken aback. "She agreed to date you?"

That's impossible! Yelena is not that type of person.

Moving on so quickly? She wouldn't do something like that.

"Of course. Also, don't call and disturb her anymore. We're going to bed soon. Goodnight."

After saying this, Hank mercilessly hung up, deleted Max's number, and blocked him. He did everything in one fell swoop.

When he was done, he placed the phone back in its original position and smiled.



Max started panicking when the call abruptly ended.

He instinctively wanted to go out and look for Yelena, but when he was about to go downstairs, he noticed how Callum's lights were still on. He stumbled to Callum's room in a daze instead.

Callum was ready to sleep when Max came into his room. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw how disappointed and gaunt the usually confident and high-spirited Max was.

"What's wrong?"

Max's tears were threatening to fall at that point.


"I called Yelena earlier, Callum. A man claiming to be her boyfriend picked up. He told me to stop looking for her. I'm so scared. Can you help me find her, please?"

Max couldn't bear losing Yelena.

He had been struggling with himself these days. As much as he wanted to go and see Yelena, he was afraid she would only coldly reproach him in return.

He finally picked up the courage to call her today and yet, he learned from the phone call that she was about to start dating another man.

He couldn't accept this at all.

Soon, he began to remember the man he saw at the film set this morning.

Hank Damazio…

"Calm down for now." Callum couldn't say for sure what he felt when he looked at his younger brother on the verge of tears.

Max balled his fists tight and continued to whimper, "Callum, I really don't want to break up with Yelena. Please, I beg you. Can you come with me to see her? I can't get through to her phone because she blocked my number… Ah! We can go to Miss Elspeth! I'm sure she knows where Yelena is! Miss Elspeth and I are close. I'm sure she will tell me!"

"Are you sure you want to go? You won't regret it?" Callum stared into Max's eyes, his gaze darkening.

However, Max couldn't bother with anything else now. Without understanding what Callum truly meant, he hurriedly blurted out, "Of course I want to go! I'm going to see Yelena right now. I can't take it anymore!"

It was 2.00AM when Elspeth heard knocks coming from the door of her main entrance.

As she was a relatively light sleeper, she would wake up at the slightest disturbance.

Annoyed and resigned from hearing the heavy knocks, she had no choice but to get the door. She first observed the surrounding situation vigilantly and only opened the door when she found nothing unusual.

As soon as the door was opened, a dark figure suddenly rushed over and grabbed her arm, startling her.

After taking a good look at the figure, she finally recognized him as Max, whom she hadn't seen in a long while.

"Max? What are you doing here at this time of the night?"

"Miss Elspeth… You know where Yelena is, don't you? Can you please tell me where she is? I'm begging you!"

Elspeth felt a little strange seeing his almost unusual reaction. Still, she mentioned honestly, "Yelena should be sleeping at home right now. What's the matter?"

Max shook his head as if his life depended on it. "No! She is with a man! She is at the guy's place!"

"What? Hank brought her to his place?" Even Elspeth felt unsettled when he heard that.

That jerk! And here I am, thinking that he's a gentleman. How could he do something so immoral?!

Elspeth wouldn't worry as much if this was any other day. However, Yelena was drunk today. That could make her an easy target that Hank could gobble up just like that!

"Hank…" Max muttered his name as a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. "Miss Elspeth, do you know where he is? I want to go to Yelena now!"

Hearing that, Elspeth quickly snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "Forget about it. I don't know."
