Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160

“I see you have it hard, Miss Weiss,” mocked Elspeth.

Jordan’s face turned sour upon hearing that, but she couldn’t fly into a rage, not when Frank was around. If he pulled another fast one, she would be done for. “If it’s fine with you, Miss Lynwood, m-may I go now?”

Any further and the prank will lose its meaning. Elspeth nodded, permitting Jordan to leave.

Seeing no sign of anger on Elspeth’s face, Frank decided to let Jordan off the hook as well. “Leave. Next time you see my sister, stay out of sight.”

Jordan wanted to scream, but it was not the time. She forced a smile, gave them a nod, and left.

Once she was gone, Elspeth finally burst into laughter.

At the sight of her laughing so merrily, Frank couldn’t help but teased, “Look at you. Laughing at her when she’s practically broke. Have a heart, would you?”

The comment was shrugged off, and she looked at him. “I can say the same to you, Mr. Scammer. You came up with that idea.”

He rolled his eyes at her remark. “I did it for you. Would you be fine with it if she had left without paying the price after she yelled at you?”

Elspeth froze for a moment before letting out a chuckle. “Someone’s concerned about me, huh?”

“I am not concerned about you. It’s just that you’re part of us, and this is my job.”

Someone’s dishonest. However, she didn’t argue further. “I got a dress for free. Sweet! Now, let’s go home.”

Is she only buying a single dress? “Aren’t you going to get anything else?”

“No. Let’s go home.”

Just then, Frank was reminded of something. “Grandpa wanted me to lead you into Blaydal’s upper society. Why don’t you come with me to a wine tasting tonight?”

She wasn’t interested in that sort of event. “Not interested.”

“I just helped you out. You owe me a favor, and now’s the time to pay up.”

Elspeth shot him a glare. “That’s not how you use favors.” Regardless, I do owe him one.

“I need a partner anyway. Just come with me.” He then looked at her and complained, “Wait, you don’t have any makeup on? Gods.” I know she’s prettier than most women, even without makeup on, but at least doll up a little.

“Are there any makeup rooms here?”

The retail assistant quickly approached her. “We have one here, Miss Lynwood. And fitting rooms, too. You can try out the dress you just got. I’m sure you’ll shine the brightest during the wine tasting.”
