Chapter 526 Meeting Hank

Seeing as he was so distant, Elspeth had the urge to tease him. "I see Yelena was right. You're actually a heartless man." Elspeth clicked her tongue and sighed.

"I trust you have more important things to say, Mrs. Winthrop. Cut to the chase, please." Hank took a seat on the other couch and crossed his legs elegantly.

"Very well. I shall cut to the chase then. About your marriage with the Yhorman girl… Is that true?" She had looked into Cecelia. She was the only daughter of the Yhorman Family, and they spoiled her. The family was also powerful politicians. Cecelia was bred to be a politician as well, and her background was perfect. No wonder Hank's family likes her, but what does Hank want?

Hank looked at her calmly. He didn't answer that question straight. "Whatever happens, happens."

Elspeth's face fell. "Don't try to use semantics, Mr. Damazio." Yelena might fall for it, but I won't.

Hank picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip, but he didn't explain. "I've said what I should. I can't say anything more, I'm afraid."

Very well. If he wants to keep a secret, then so be it. Elspeth took her bag and stood up and pretended that she was leaving. "Very well. If that's the case, I shall personally ask Ms. Yhorman about it."

Hank stiffened up a little. "Don't disturb her."

Even though she knew Hank was no heartbreaker, she mocked, "My, aren't you worried? And I haven't said anything yet. I find you rather fickle, Mr. Damazio. It's only been a few days since your breakup."

Hank was unfazed. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, he only said, "Stay out of this, Mrs. Winthrop. I know what I'm doing."


"Of course, but just one question."

"Speak." Hank knew what she was going to ask.

"Whatever you're doing, will it hurt Yelena?"

Without hesitation, Hank answered, "No."

"Romantically speaking?" Elspeth rebutted.

"No promises." Not like I can help that Yelena's feeling down.

Elspeth wanted to fly into a rage again. What's wrong with me? It's like I have mood swings. PMS, I guess. Wait a minute, but my period has been late for almost a month.

"Mrs. Winthrop." Hank broke her train of thought. "Don't worry. What I'm doing won't really hurt Yelena."

"Too late," said Elspeth coolly. "She's hurt real bad and is going to forget about you now." She looked at him closely and noticed him clenching his fists. I knew it. He still cares about her. It's all a lie.

"You seem upset. But this is what you wanted, isn't it?" Elspeth smiled, then she brushed her finger across her phone's screen. "I heard everything from Yelena. She cried her eyes out. She's heartbroken, but I think you'd be happy to know that. After all, nobody's going to bug you anymore." Elspeth spoke of Yelena's heartbreak so that it would make Hank feel guiltier.

Hank was still smiling, but something stirred in his heart. Now he could see that things were veering out of control.

"Very well. Since you have a plan, I'll leave you to it. I'm not here to defend her, but to see how you'll deal with the matter. It seems like you don't care about her anymore. In that case, I shall tell her to give up as well."

Elspeth made it sound like she was helping him, but Hank wasn't happy in the slightest. Elspeth was going to leave, or so she pretended. Three, two, one.

"Of course, but just one question."

"Speak." Hank knew what she was going to ask.

"A minute, Mrs. Winthrop."
