Chapter 145

Worrying that Yelena might overthink, Elspeth cast a consoling glance at her. “Don’t mind him. He has

always been this way; don’t take his words to heart.”

Hearing this, Yelena, who had been maintaining a calm front earlier, could no longer control her sadness

as tears welled up in her eyes.

“I am fine,” she said while sniffing, pretending to be fine.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell him off when I get home later!”

“Okay.”

Elspeth then quickly left with Callum, worrying that if they stayed on any longer, they wouldn’t be able to

coax Yelena once she started wailing.

When they returned to the car, Elspeth found Max sulking alone in the backseat. “Why did you say that

just now? Do you really not like her?” Elspeth couldn’t control her urge and ask.

“I don’t like her, of course. Would anyone like her? She’s so silly and has no brains at all.”

“You’re still being so obstinate, huh? If that’s the case, why do you need to worry about whether a man is

in her house or not? When did you start showing such a keen interest in other people’s affairs, Max?”

Elspeth observed Max’s slightly relaxed expression and continued, “Let me guess. You’re angry now

because she chased you out but not that man, am I right?”

Max opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but he was at a loss for words.

“You’re overthinking it. Hex is sleeping in another room. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Elspeth was simply making a casual remark, but Callum secretly noted it down.

Yes, I admit that I just can’t stand her being alone with other men, even her cousin, but I’m a nobody and

have no say in her matter. This explained why Max could only swallow his rage. Wait. Is this an indication

that I like her?

Max wasn’t sure as well. He went silent for a while before raising his head to look at Callum and said,

“Callum, send me to Luna Bar.”

He couldn’t understand his feelings and wanted to have some alcohol to trigger his heart and emotions.

Callum understood what Max meant and did not stop him. After sending him to Luna Bar and watching

him enter, Callum turned his head and looked at Elspeth.

Elspeth felt uneasy having his gaze firmly fixed on her. “Why are you looking at me?” she asked, her

brows furrowed.

“How did you know that Hex is sleeping?”

Elspeth’s heart sank when she heard this.

It was too late for her to lie now. “I was brought to a room earlier, and that room happens to be Hex’s,”

she said truthfully.

That was when she saw Hex sleeping soundly.

Callum felt relieved hearing this, but his expression remained displeased.

“Are you still unhappy? Why?”

He moved closer to her without saying anything, but his heart softened when he saw her back away due

to being startled.

“I am jealous.”

That stunned Elspeth. She couldn’t figure out why Callum said so for a moment.

“Jealous? Why?”

With a gentle voice and a light groan, he answered, “You were in the same room with him and even saw

him sleeping. That makes me jealous.”

After speaking, he felt his words were insufficient and continued, “You did not even see me sleeping

before.”

His entire speech left Elspeth speechless. Why did he become so… childish? He was the serious-looking

CEO of the Winthrop Group only a moment ago, but now he acts like a forlorn child who just had his

favorite toy taken away, staring pitifully at me. Such an adorable contrast he had!

Elspeth hurriedly swallowed her saliva and responded, “No, that was a mere incident. I didn’t stare at his

sleeping face; I just gave him a passing glance. I then left right away as well.”

Finally, Callum nodded satisfyingly after hearing what Elspeth said. He then straightened his body and

continued driving.

After all that had happened today, both of them were exhausted when they reached home and went to

bed early.

When Elspeth opened her eyes the following morning, she saw Callum sitting in front of her wearing a

suit.

“Holy! You almost scared me to death!”

She was given such a fright that she nearly yelled obscenities, but Callum ignored her and said

straightforwardly, “Something happened to Max and Yelena.”

All sleepiness Elspeth vanished when she heard that. “What happened?” she asked, her eyes wide

open.

Callum did not say anything in response. Instead, he took his phone, clicked on Twitter, and handed it to

her. She immediately noticed some words written in bold. It read, ‘Female Star Yelena Is Now a Joke

After Boyfriend Caught Flirting in a Bar.’

Underneath the post were details about how Yelena and Max met, photographs of their accidental kiss,

and a photo of Max in a bar late at night with a gorgeous woman next to him.

All three of their faces were mosaiced, but it served no purpose. Everyone knew who they were.

Elspeth immediately began to panic. This would be more difficult to handle than the news of them both

kissing.

The comments below were a mess as well, with a lot of humiliating words directed against Yelena.

‘Yelena is just a miserable woman who is in no way deserving to be a celebrity.’

‘She appears glamorous, but look, she is secretly in a relationship and even got cheated on. Serves her

right!”

‘What? My goddess is dating someone! I’m not liking her anymore!

‘Even if she is single, you have no chance with her. Please be rational.’

There were many more who were eager to add insult to injury as well.

‘I told you guys that she has a messy private life! A few days ago, I saw her behaving intimately with

another man in front of her high school. That man is not Max!’

A photo of the back of Yelena and Finn was attached.

Some of them spoke up for Yelena, but the matter soon escalated and the supportive remarks were

swiftly overshadowed by the humiliating ones.

As Max and the unknown woman were commoners and did not have any fans, they did not get attacked

as much. Most of them were Yelena’s haters using this opportunity to defame her.

Elspeth quickly gave Yelena a call, but the line was busy. Then, she called Max, but the call was not

unanswered as well. Max most likely isn’t up yet, whereas Yelena… her telephone line is probably being

bombarded by her manager and fans at the moment.

Callum seldom got interested in the entertainment industry, but this time, he too, had a headache when

he saw the news.

“We have to go to Yelena’s house now. Callum, send someone to look for Max. Make sure that he won’t

be made used by anyone this time. The incident now is definitely staged. I’ll ask Harper to find out who

the mastermind is, and then liaise with the public relations team to handle it.”

After Elspeth calmly voiced out her analysis, she was surprised to see Callum looking profoundly at her.

“Why? Are my words confusing?”

Callum shook his head in response. With his gaze fixed firmly on her, he said, “You… You seem to have

a thorough understanding of the entertainment industry’s dark side. Do you have an entertainment

company?”
