Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

“Fine. It’s none of my business. You guys can continue to be lovey-dovey here. Sorry for disturbing you.” Yelena held back her tears and finished her sentence. As soon as she said that, she ran away crying.

From afar, when Elspeth looked at Yelena leaving the place, her forehead furrowed. Just as she wanted to chase after Yelena, someone grabbed her on her right wrist.

“Elspeth.”

She turned around and saw Callum with a cold expression.

“Why are you here?”

He came from the direction of the washroom. Oh, no wonder. She was a little surprised just now about Callum not attending the event since he had such a close relationship with Hex, but it was just that he was in the washroom, so she didn’t notice him.

“Oh, right. It’s Hex’s birthday today. You should be here as his crony.”

Her words were ironic, but he didn’t mind at all. He just stared straight into her eyes.

“What do you want?” Her mind was filled with going after Yelena, and because the person stopping her was Callum, her tone was slightly impatient. “Get out of my way if you have nothing to say. Don’t waste my time.”

Callum was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw how much Elspeth didn’t want to see a person. “Since we met here, I want to talk to you.”

She had been hiding so well, so he had been finding her for a long time and he finally came across her today.

“I don’t have time.”

“I just need five minutes.”

When Elspeth saw that he was so persistent and her wrist was being grabbed so tightly, she could only nod resignedly.

After they randomly found a place to sit down, Elspeth looked at him across from her and got straight to the point. “Is this about your mother’s incident?”

“I want to know how she fell down the stairs.”

Elspeth scoffed at that. “I thought you suspected that I did it.”

After a moment of silence, Callum calmly replied, “I didn’t.”

His aura turned cold all of a sudden. “No.”

His answer arose something bitter inside her. I knew it. Just like what I expected.

“Since you don’t believe me. I have nothing else to say. I’m busy. I need to go now.” She stood up and was ready to leave but was stopped by Callum again.

“I’m not saying that I don’t believe you, but… Ophelia can’t harm my mother.” He would rather suspect that

Margot fell accidentally than hold Ophelia accountable for it. For Ophelia, Margot treated her like a birth

mother would, so she couldn’t harm Margot.

“So, you really think that I hurt her, right? Fine. It’s my fault then.” Elspeth sneered. She was not only

disappointed in him but had completely lost her hope in him.

“That’s not what I meant.”

“You don’t have to look for me anymore. I will find evidence to clear my name. Before I find anything, please

don’t come into my life and disturb me.” This sentence drew a clear line in their relationship.

“Must you be like this?”

She smiled. “Mr. Winthrop, is there any use for you to say all these now? It’s better for you to calm Ophelia
