Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Truth was, everything she said was right. There was absolutely nothing he could deny, but he had never wanted to harm Yelena. Those who wanted the information told him that Yelena would be safe after the matter passed and would not be affected at all.

The worst thing that could happen was for her to leave the entertainment industry and return to being a commoner.

A tinge of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes as he said, “That’s just your assumptions; they are not the truth!”

“I believe you know better than I do. Don’t make me cite more evidence.”

Elspeth looked at Finn with a confident expression, appearing as if she knew everything.

Does she really know about it? Chills went down Finn’s spine and for unknown reasons, he felt extremely uneasy.

“Are you certain that you do not want to confess, Finn?”

His heart sank when he heard his name being called.

“Fine. I was the one who did it, the one who leaked her information. But the person claimed that it wouldn’t affect her. She is a celebrity, and doing this will only increase her popularity…”

His voice was getting softer as even he felt that what he said didn’t make sense.

“You’re so dumb!” Elspeth gave him a harsh look and went on, “How could you possibly trust everything a stranger says? Yelena has always been portrayed as a pure, innocent young woman, but now that you have unexpectedly caused a scandal for her, she will lose a lot of fans!”

Finn opened his mouth in surprise. He knew he was at fault this time. “What should we do now then?”

His original intention wasn’t to hurt Yelena. After all, he couldn’t bear to hurt his cousin whom he played together with since they were small.

Yelena, on the other hand, was still in a state of disbelief ever since she heard the truth. She had never imagined that her close cousin would be the one to frame her. “Finn, you…”

Finn was aware that he was the one to be blamed now. His usual ruffian chic vanished, leaving him feeling helpless. “I’m sorry, Yelena…”

Seeing his helpless demeanor, Elspeth couldn’t help but scoff. “What’s the point of apologizing to her now? If you truly want to amend for your wrongs, tell me who transferred the money to you.”

Finn faltered for a long while but couldn’t squeeze a word out.

“Why? Are you not willing to reveal? Or are you under threats?”

However, he shook his head. What he said next made Elspeth frown immediately.

“I have no idea what’s his name.”

“Do you know how he looks then?”

After a moment of thought, Finn said slowly, “He looks demure and gentle, yet his gaze was aloof. One thing that I remember clearly is that he has a tiny butterfly-shaped pink scar at his brow.”

The moment he finished his sentence, everyone’s eyes lit up.

The traits that he described all pointed to Arthur!

Finn did not know who Arthur was, but Callum knew Arthur very well.

When Arthur was 5 years old, he fell off a tree and landed on a hard stone, leaving a butterfly-shaped scar on his brow.

At the time, Margot said that this scar was a blessing because it was his brow and not his eyes that the stone struck.

This meant that Arthur was the mastermind behind this scandal!

Elspeth’s heart trembled a little when she realized that things weren’t as simple as they thought it was.

Arthur, in framing Yelena, most probably was targeting Max and the Winthrop Family.
