Chapter 86


    At that moment, Yelena was red in the face. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t embarrassed


    when her thoughts were exposed.


    On the other hand, Hex had already forgotten his flirtatious attempts toward Elspeth and got familiar


    with her after talking for some time. “Alright, now, let’s go back. What about you, Elspeth? Do you want


    to join us?”


    “No, thanks. You guys have fun,” said Elspeth.


    Hearing her words, Hex pouted and walked away.


    On the other hand, Yelena patted Elspeth on the shoulder while looking at her calm expression. “I know


    you must feel terrible after you went through such a thing. Don’t worry, Elspeth. The truth will soon be


    revealed, and you will be proven innocent.”


    “I know.”


    “Well, since I have snuck out and don’t feel like sitting with them, why don’t you apany me? We


    can have some small talk over there.” After Yelena finished speaking, she looked at Elspeth


    expectantly.


    Just as Elspeth was going to refuse her proposal, her phone suddenly rang. It was Harper, and he told


    Elspeth that he couldn’te over since thepany had some urgent business.


    “Come on. Hang with me. Your friend can’t make it anyway.” Yelena immediately grabbed Elspeth and


    found a ce to sit. Then, she propped her head with her hands as she looked at Max, who was in the


    dark, with adoration.


    “Why do you like him, Yelena?” asked Elspeth. She had always wondered how someone as proud as


    Yelena would fall in love with Max, who was bad-tempered. She remembered the first time she had met


    Max and talking to him was a disaster.


    “Oh, me?” Yelena recalled the memory from her past. “To be honest, my first encounter with Max


    wasn’t when he saved me. I have known him for a long time before that.”


    Elspeth paused a little as she didn’t expect them to have known each other for longer than that.


    “Our first encounter was two years ago. At that moment, I was only fifteen years old and hadn’t debuted


    yet. I was a trainee then, and the teacher kept scolding me for not dancing well. I had bruises all over


    my body, which was terrible, so I always cried at theke behind thepany.” As Yelena recalled the


    past, she felt that it was bittersweet. “Max was only sixteen years old when we met. He was in high


    school, and the coincidence was that his school was right next to mypany. That’s how I met him


    one time when I was crying by theke.”


    Elspeth imagined what had happened as she listened to the story. “So, heforted you, and you fell


    in love


    with him?”


    Thinking about the scene, Yelenaughed and said, “No. He thought I was going to jump into theke


    and quickly grabbed me. We both fell into theke since it was too slippery. He saved me from the


    water and gave me a scolding, but I thought that he looked cute.”


    Elspeth couldn’t help but twitch her lips. As expected, only a plot twist would fit these two gremlins.


    “What happens next?” Elspeth asked.


    Then, Yelena propped her chin as she recalled. “After that, he left. He told me not to give up on life and


    continue to live. At that moment, I still didn’t know his name, not until he saved me again that day. And


    in that split second, I knew that it was fate. Haha, he can’t escape from me.”


    “He didn’t recognize you?” Elspeth was stunned.


    “Yeah. He didn’t remember who I was. Hence, when I grabbed onto him excitedly thest time, he


    thought that I was a pervert and told me to stay away from him.” As Yelena spoke, she looked


    distressed.


    “How could you not know Max when Hex knew the Winthrops?”


    Hearing her question, Yelena rolled her eyes. Then, she clicked her tongue and said, “It’s not the same.


    He always goes out drinking with them, but my lifestyle is different. I have never gone out with them;


    this is the first time I have ever entered a bar. It’s interesting. Then, she looked around and winked


    secretly. “I want to have a drink, Elspeth. Can you not tell Hex about it?”


    “You can’t drink when you are underage.” Elspeth refused.


    Hearing her words, Yelenay lifelessly on the chair. “Alright then.” Suddenly, she jerked up and said,


    “Look, Elspeth, who is that girl?”


    Then, Elspeth followed the direction where she had pointed and saw that a girl was sitting next to Max.


    The girl looked innocent with light makeup on.


    “She looked like a student. Is this the kind of girl Max likes?” Yelena was frustrated and wanted to push


    the girl away from Max.


    “Student…” Seeing that the girl was sitting there ufortably, Elspeth felt her heart throb in pain. At


    that moment, she thought of Lydia, the girl whom she saved but got her whole family killed. This time,


    she didn’t dare to step up.


    “Say, Elspeth, is she prettier than me? Cuter than me? Or better-looking than me?” asked Yelena.


    Hearing her words, Elspeth looked at the young and innocent girl and then back to Yelena, who looked


    stunning even with the makeup on. Then, she couldn’t help but chuckle. “It’s only natural that our big


    star looks the best. After all, it’s not easy to be a celebrity, let alone be crowned the title Human


    Barbie.”


    “Hmph, I know that. Max has bad taste in women,” said Yelena.


    “Alright. Stop thinking about it. She might just be a barmaid. How will Max fall in love with such a


    woman? You must be overthinking,” Elspeth coaxed her.


    “I’m not. Look at them. He even stopped her from drinking. He has never been so gentle before!”


    When Yelena saw the scene, she was enraged. At that moment, she couldn’t suppress her emotions


    and rushed toward them. However, as soon as she stood in front of them, she realized that she would


    be giving herself away to appear in the public eye since she had snuck out. At that moment, her anger


    vanished, and she looked timid.

    “What are you doing here?” Max frowned and asked when he saw her lowering her head, looking


    embarrassed.


    Yelena had curves on her body, looking too mature for her age. Her face was even more stunning, and


    the heavy makeup made her look more seductive rather than innocent.


    Isn’t she afraid of getting in trouble in the bar with such clothes and heavy makeup? Max thought.


    When Yelena heard his words, her eyes lit up, and she looked happy. “Are you worried about me?”


    At that moment, Max averted his gaze and said, “No.”


    When Yelena heard his words, she immediately turned gloomy and said, “Alright then. Why are you


    with her?”


    “Who?” Max’s tone was still cold since he didn’t know who she was talking about.


    “That girl beside you. Why are you with her? What’s so good about her?” Yelena questioned.


    When Max turned his head and saw the girl cowering in fear, he felt impatient and said, “What’s that


    got to do with you?”
