Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 260

The paparazzi picture incident certainly didn’t cause anyone dissatisfaction since it was the wisest course of action under the circumstances.

Elspeth cast a sidelong glance at Yelena. “If there are no objections, I’ve drafted an article for you. You can publish it as is. And you too, Blake. I know you’re innocent too, so you should roughly know what to say.”

Max frowned. “What about me? Is there anything I can do?”

“Nothing, just sit tight in the hotel and don’t let anyone threaten you,” Elspeth replied, sizing up Max’s physique with some dissatisfaction.

Blake could be excused for lacking some skills since he had spent most of his time in the entertainment industry, but Max was a different story; he couldn’t even hold onto Yelena.

Max gritted his teeth in frustration, knowing what she meant.

Meanwhile, Yelena had already published the article online, causing a tempest in a teapot. However, it wasn’t directed at her but at the situation. The sudden switch from Blake to Max caught many people off guard.

Blake’s fans breathed a sigh of relief, and even the more polite ones left comments apologizing for Yelena’s post. Some of her fans still felt that the cute and innocent Yelena wouldn’t have slept with a man so easily, but most were reasonable.

She had all the right to sleep with her boyfriend now that she was an adult. In any case, it appeared that the situation wasn’t as terrible as they initially believed.

Most of the criticisms were directed at the people instigating the online harassment, and once they realized they had been targeting the wrong person, the storm died down a bit.

But suddenly, in the next second, a much more explosive news story surpassed the popularity of the article and took the top spot.

The article was written by Max himself and was posted on the official account of the Winthrop Group.

“Yelena is my fiancée. Due to her busy filming schedule, we will have the engagement banquet later. After we reach the right age, we will have our wedding. Besides, Yelena and I did not have a substantive relationship. If anyone doesn’t believe it, she can show you the medical report.”

This statement proved two things:

First, the two were a legitimate engaged couple, and Yelena did not engage in premarital intercourse.

Second, Yelena was still a virgin, and the two only slept together without having intercourse.

Either way, either point could silence the rumors. In a flash, the comment section exploded.

User A: ‘I knew Max and Yelena weren’t like that!’

User B: ‘I don’t know too well. Have they always been this close?’

User C: ‘He’s the man that Yelena pursued and got. Damn. They got engaged so quickly. This is so thrilling, isn’t it?’

User D: ‘This is just my two cents, but I think people who pry into other people’s privacy must have some brain issues.’

Others joined in on the criticism, but this time, the target of the insults switched to the person who leaked the news. Even worse, some have revealed that the news was leaked by the Walkers.

Fangirl of Yelena: ‘This is definitely Emma Walker’s doing. The two shows wrap up at the same time and are probably going to be released on the same day. If it were you, wouldn’t you stab your competitor in the back at this moment?’

I don’t give a hoot: ‘I think you’re right. Even if Emma isn’t behind this, it’s still fishy. It’s the dirty side of money. Real sickening.’
