Chapter 200


    As Emma and Callum both left Damoria for Waterside, Elspeth’s world went quiet all of a sudden. She


    was toozy to tackle the issue as well and took a leave of absence from thepany before moving


    to Luminous Entertainment.


    Timothy was surprised to see her. “What wind blew you over? You never cared about Luminous


    Entertainment in the past; your heart and mind were all on Callum and Winthrop Group.”


    “Haven’t Ie back to my senses now?” After her motives had been exposed, Elspeth could only


    chuckle lightly.


    “By the way, we’ve already signed the contract for the show I told you about earlier. Filming will


    probablymence tomorrow.”


    Elspeth nodded. “You can do as you see fit.”


    Timothy parted his lips a little hesitatingly and said, “All right, but the coborator listed a condition.”


    “What is it?”


    Truthfully, Timothy had no idea if Elspeth would be angered by what he was about to say. “That person


    said… he would only agree to work with us if you went over.”


    Elspeth’s head began to ache at his words. “Who is that?”


    “The chairman of Carr Group, Jordan Carr.”


    It’s him, huh.


    Elspeth was taken aback for a moment and did not return to her senses immediately. Thinking that


    Jordan was an old acquaintance of hers, Timothy let out a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you know each


    other.”


    “I don’t just know him as we even go way back.”


    At the end of her sentence, her voice subconsciously hardened. Since Jordan knew that she had left


    Damoria and was in Luminous Entertainment, it meant that Michael had known long ago as well.


    However, why wasn’t he sending anyone after her?


    “What are you going to do? Will you go or not?”


    Although Elspeth couldn’t wrap her mind around her thoughts, she noticed the excitement on Timothy’s


    face that showed how much he cared about this coboration, so she ended up nodding.


    “I’ll go.”


    Hearing that, Timothy was ted. “In that case, we should make use of our time to rest. If the filming


    starts tomorrow, we’ll have to go to Waterside today.”


    Waterside? Subconsciously, Elspeth’s thoughts drifted to the ce where Callum and Emma were. She


    had never taken part in anything rted to filming and thus was unable toe up with a response in


    time.


    “That’s right, the filming set is in Waterside this time.”


    Now that things hade to this, Elspeth had no other choice but to nod and resign herself to her fate.


    On the ne, Yelena sat beside Elspeth while ke sat behind the two, looking somewhat


    mncholic.


    “Elspeth, I heard that this film is directed by Mr. Aiden. I’ve worked with him before, but only once,


    unfortunately. There weren’t many opportunities, you see. However, he’s really nice, and all of his films


    are always a huge hit!”


    Yelena chattered profusely next to her, as excited as a bird that had just escaped its cage. Elspeth


    nodded, knowing the director she was talking about, and listened to Yelena with a smile.


    “But… It’s just that Emma will be at the filming location too. She’s filming something as well, but it’s for


    another film.”


    Upon mentioning Emma, Yelena recalled everything she did to Elspeth, and she only felt distaste


    toward her.


    Elspeth’s hand jolted. “What about Emma?”


    “Nothing. I just don’t like her because she seems fake.”


    As Yelena was still young, she was unable to keep her mouth shut. Fortunately, they were sitting in first


    ss, and only ke and Timothy were listening. Timothy rubbed his nose, pretending he heard


    nothing.


    Worried about what ke would think, Elspeth turned to look at him and exined in a whisper,


    “Yelena only said that out of…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, ke gave her a gentle smile and assured her, “I understand.”


    Elspeth froze for a moment before she returned the smile. After getting off the ne, the four stayed at


    a hotel next to the filming set.

    As the hotel specialized in receiving celebrities, the staff showed not the slightest hint of reaction at the


    sight of them and immediately gave them four rooms. However, Yelena refused to relent, insisting on


    sleeping with Elspeth. In the end, only three rooms were booked, and Yelena entered the room with her


    arm around Elspeth’s.


    Seeing this, Elspeth couldn’t help but tease, “What’s with you? Why do you want to stay with me at


    your age?”


    Yelena huffed. “I just want to sleep in the same room as you. When you went to the bathroom earlier, I


    heard someone say that Emma is staying here too. If she tries to bully you, I’ll teach her a lesson!”


    Upon saying that, she raised her fist, baring her sharp teeth.


    Elspeth couldn’t help chuckling at the sight of this. I appreciate the thought, Yelena…


    Later that night, Elspeth headed downstairs with Yelena for dinner. As she watched her gobble her


    food, she realized that Yelena had been starving.


    Before she could speak, a taunting voice sounded beside them. “How uncouth. Even the way you eat is


    improper.”


    Although the voice was pleasant, it was iparably shrill and, in turn, lost some of its charms.


    The voice had Elspeth stiffening up.


    When she raised her head, Emma was looking at Elspeth and Yelena, feeling a pang of revulsion in her


    heart.


    Elspeth really is everywhere!


    “What a coincidence to see you here, Miss Walker. I didn’t know you were capable of such a piercing


    voice. It is because Callum isn’t around you?”


    Instantly, Emma went red in the face.


    “Whom are you saying has a piercing voice?”


    Although she was extremely unhappy from the mockery, once she thought of Callum, Emma became


    smug. “Do you know who invested in my first drama aftering back to Chars? It’s Callum! I know


    you like Callum a lot, but you should know that I was his favorite woman before you. Even Mr. Winthrop


    is urging Callum to marry me!”


    Elspeth narrowed her eyes and rebuked, “Since Callum and Mr. Winthrop like you that much, why


    aren’t they letting you into their family?”


    This matter had always been a thorn in Emma’s side, and her face darkened before her smile turned


    scornful when she suddenly recalled something. “Oh my, I dare notpare myself with the likes of


    you, Miss Lynwood. You’re staying with your fiancé before marriage; no wonder you’re being disliked.”


    At that moment, Yelena was unable to hold her tongue any longer. She leaped to her feet and berated,


    “You’d better watch what you’re saying. Everyone knows that Mr. Winthrop likes Elspeth, and the fact


    that Callum shields her openly and privately speaks volumes. Who do you think you are to judge?


    You’re acting so high and mighty for an ex-girlfriend. What, are you trying to y the pregnant mistress


    in their rtionship?”


    Elspeth had never expected that Yelena had such a sharp tongue.


    A smile surfaced at the corners of her mouth before it morphed into one of mockery. “Miss Walker, if


    you don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone, I’d advise you to keep your voice down.”


    It was only then that Emma noticed many of the restaurant’s patrons were looking at her oddly,


    particrly those who knew what was going on between them. Upon hearing the word ‘mistress,’ they


    looked simultaneously enlightened, contemptuous, and disdainful.


    Despite Emma’s face flushing red, she lowered her voice and threatened, “Remember this, Elspeth, I


    won’t let you off easily!”


    After saying this, she nced around before leaving in a huff.
