Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Disgusting

"I'm sorry, Miss Lynwood. He barged right in. I couldn't stop him," Lily quickly explained.

Elspeth didn't panic, though. She picked her teacup up and took a sip. She didn't even bother with the intruder. There was nothing to be worried about since she wasn't the one who did this.

Bobby had been the one who stormed into the office. He couldn't stand the sight of Elspeth.

"Mr. McGrath, next time you want to accuse me of something, show your evidence. I don't have time to play with you." The woman initially thought it was Haris, but to her surprise, it was Bobby—Jasmine's father. After saying that, Elspeth extended her arm. "If you're here to demand an explanation, I must ask you to leave." She smiled. "I have work to do."

Bobby was surprised that Elspeth wasn't even showing him an ounce of courtesy. And it was surprising that she didn't look nervous at all. Is there more to this news? But if Elspeth didn't do it, then who? Could it be Callum? They're the only ones who have a grudge against Jasmine.

When Elspeth saw him deep in thought, she knew right away that Bobby had been tricked by someone into coming after her.

"I have no concrete proof, but I will find it someday. You're not getting away."

"Come at me whenever you please." She smiled. Her carefree attitude was starting to make Bobby second-guess himself that he actually got the wrong person. "And you should look before you leap, Mr. McGrath. Do you think Old Mr. McGrath doesn't know about this? He knows more than you think, yet he's not the one who came. Try to figure out why."

Bobby had no answer for that. Hey, I'm the older man here. Show me some respect, young lady. Elspeth's attitude didn't sit well with him, but he was in the wrong here, so he said nothing.

"I see you're beginning to understand where you went wrong. I trust you'll figure things out soon enough." She smiled. "If nothing else, escort him out, Lily."

Lily tugged on her hem and extended her arm. "If you may, Mr. McGrath."

Bobby took a deep breath and straightened his collar out before he left.

"You're awesome, Miss Lynwood. You made him leave just like that." Lily was grinning happily. She was delighted to see Bobby lose the fight.

"I didn't actually do anything. He just got the wrong person. There was nothing I had to do."

Lily nodded. "True. You're not the culprit here. But honestly, I can't believe Jasmine. She tried to kill you, and now that she's exposed, she expects you to give her an explanation instead. Unbelievable!"

"Not like the first time she's done this. Just ignore her." Elspeth stretched her arms. "If nothing else, you can leave now."

Lily nodded. "Of course, Miss Lynwood."

Before Lily left, Elspeth said, "Lily, call Edmund and help me arrange a meetup with him."

"Of course."
