Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148

A satisfied smirk appeared on Elspeth’s face when she saw that the netizens’ viewpoints had changed, and everyone was now actively seeking the truth.

At this point, Callum, who was beside her, ruffled her hair and said, “It has been hard on you to think of all these ways.”

“Not at all. You were the one who managed to track down Max’s video, right?”

Callum slowly raised the corners of his mouth in response. “What a smart woman. Indeed, the woman I like.”

“Where is Max, though? Shouldn’t he show up and clarify things now?”

“He was drugged in a room at Luna Bar. Was unconscious when I found him and has not woken up yet.”

Arthur! Elspeth did not even need to put her mind to it to know that Arthur was involved. In fact, she was certain it was him.

“It will be alright. Max will be awake in no time. What’s important now is the netizens’ opinions.”

They then scrolled through their Twitter feeds and found that the news about Max and Yelena had been greatly reduced and was drowned by other revelations.

The Alphascape Group was probably afraid that the situation would escalate and quickly used other scandals to distract the public from it.

The funny thing, though, was that Alaina was the chosen scapegoat to distract the public. She indeed got her deserved bad end.

“This matter has finally been resolved. If Arthur wants to do something more, he can’t get away safely too. I believe he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”

Hearing that, Yelena heaved a long breath of relief. She then looked at Elspeth with a grateful expression, saying, “Thank you for helping me, Elspeth. Without all of you, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

“Don’t worry. This issue started because of us. You are framed because of your close relationship with us. Remember to be more careful next time.”

Noticing that Yelena was the only one handling the matter all this while, Elspeth asked, “Where’s your manager? Didn’t she need to take care of certain public relations matters for you?”

Yelena, on the other hand, wasn’t bothered by this. “Whenever things happen, she would simply wash her hands off, leaving me to deal with everything. I’m used to it now.”

“How can she call herself a manager then? Do you want to consider terminating your contract? I can introduce you to somewhere new,” Elspeth said as she narrowed her eyes and smiled cunningly. “When will your current contract end?”

Yelena rubbed her chin and began to recall. “From what I remember, the contract is only for 3 years. So, it should be over after next month.”

“That’s great. Go to Luminous. I can guarantee that you will become the top celebrity, acting only in the best films.”

Luminous?

“Didn’t you previously introduce Timothy there? Would it be too much trouble…”

Before Yelena could finish her sentence, Elspeth pinched her smooth face and interrupted, “Of course not. Not only that, I will ask Timothy to be your manager personally.”

“Aww, thank you!”

Yelena was elated. She had long wanted to leave her current entertainment company. Her current company always wanted her to make use of her fair and pure appearance, but she also wanted to participate in high-caliber films rather than just commercial advertisements and magazine photo assignments.

“That’s a deal then. It seems that the crowd outside has dissipated. We shall leave now.”

Elspeth then stood up and said goodbye to Yelena.
