Chapter 256


    Without Emma kicking up a fuss, Elspeth and the others entered the banquet hall and found their


    seats.


    Mr. Aiden already had too much to drink, so his cheeks turned rosy, making him stand out even more.


    “We’ve finally finished filming for our drama, ‘The Moment I Met You’. Everyone, please enjoy


    yourselves and eat everything you want. After all, I’ve seen how hard all of you have worked for this


    drama. Thank you, everyone!”


    Meanwhile, Max kept putting food on Yelena’s te. “Enough, Max. I don’t want to eat that much. I’ve


    told you so many times that I’m on a diet. I can’t finish everything,” sheined.


    “Why are you on a diet? You’re not even fat, so why are you trying to lose weight?”


    She replied dramatically, “Are you saying that I’m not fat? Max, are you out of your mind? Have you


    seen a celebrity who weighs more than 120 pounds?”


    Of course, he knew that she had gained some weight for the sake of this drama. Her little face had also


    be rounder, but he still found her skinny.


    Although she had a face that looked like a child’s, she stood tall at almost 5’5. As such, weighing 120


    pounds was just right for her; she was even slightly underweight.


    “So what? I don’t mind,” Max muttered under his breath, but Yelena heard everything.


    “What did you say? I heard everything. I knew it! You secretly like me and want to be with me, but


    you’re too embarrassed to say it.”


    Hearing that, he rolled his eyes and hit her head yfully. “Stop talking nonsense. Come on, have a


    few more bites.”


    Yelena stopped rejecting him and began eating without a care in the world. Max has already said he


    doesn’t mind my little bit of weight, so why should I care so much? What even is a diet? I should stop


    thinking about that!


    When Elspeth saw them flirting with each other, she felt like an emotional father looking at his daughter


    who was about to get married.


    At the same time, Callum was busy putting food on her te as well. He even knew that she had


    germophobia, so he used the serving spoon to pick up the dishes.


    The moment she saw the mountain of food on her te, her speechlessness was no less than


    Yelena’s. “Callum, I don’t like papaya…”


    No one knew what was up with Callum, but he took a huge ss of papaya milk for her, seeming as


    though he wanted to help her boost her bosoms.


    As his eyes scanned her chest area, he calmly said, “You need a little boost.”


    What? Which part of me needs boosting? Although she was smiling on the outside, she was gritting her


    teeth so forcefully that she nearly broke them.


    Suddenly, she thought of a way to get back at him. She took a raw oyster and put it on his te right


    away. “You should eat more of this too. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. You’ll perform better


    in bed after eating this.”


    Hearing that from the side, the others were shocked and pricked up their ears at once.


    “Am I not good enough now?” As Callum narrowed his eyes, he looked perilous.


    Elspeth knew she had said something that would provoke any man, but her anger was festering in her.


    “How would I know? It’s not like I’ve experienced it before.”


    As soon as she said that, she became clear-minded instantly. Sh*t, why did I ask him such a stupid


    question?


    Instead of being enraged, Callum simply grinned. “Okay, let’s try it tonight. You’ll know whether I’m


    good in bed or not.”


    “You’re very good even without me trying, actually.” She nodded sincerely. “I’m telling the truth. Trust


    me, I’ve always believed in you about this. There’s no need to try such unnecessary things.”


    “Alright, then.” He nodded in satisfaction. He wanted to tease her a little, so when he saw the hint of


    panic on her usually smiley face, he was quite happy about that.


    “Okay, okay. After dinner, we’ll each go back to our own homes and sleep in our own beds without


    disturbing each other.” She shrunk a little, distancing herself from him.


    As he arched his eyebrow, he said, “You’re afraid, aren’t you?”


    “Why would I be…” How can I not be afraid? He looks so much stronger than me. If he does something


    to me, I won’t be able to defend myself…


    “I feel a little dizzy. I’m going to use the washroom.” She stood up after saying that. Although she was


    only feeling slightly dizzy from drinking too much, she wanted to avoid this topic by excusing herself to


    the washroom.


    Just then, Callum wanted to stand up as well. “Do you need me to go with you?”


    With a fake smile, she replied, “Nope. Do you want to be seen as a pervert again?”


    At the thought of the two girls’ terrified looksst time, he felt ufortable all over. Do I really look like


    a pervert?


    After excusing herself from Callum, she went to the washroom alone.


    The lights at the entrance of the washroom were dim. She stood in front of the basin and held the water


    in her hands before sshing it on her face. After that, she felt much soberer.


    Before Elspeth could lift her head, two people suddenly came out from the cubicles. When she heard


    them mentioning Yelena, she didn’t raise her head and took the chance to wash her face a little longer.


    “Do you think Yelena will receive karma after pissing so many people off?” The young girl in a white


    dress had a beaming smile, but she looked incredibly mean.


    “Well, it’s her fault for using her beauty to take other people’s resources away, isn’t it? Many people


    want to scourge her because of that.” The other young girl in a ck dress looked enchanting but


    mediocre.


    These two people seemed vaguely familiar to Elspeth. They were probably just minor characters in


    ‘Song of Viollenys’.


    “Personally, I think Yelena looks average. She’s only relying on Elspeth. Without Elspeth, she’s


    nothing.”


    Hearing that, Elspeth looked up and nced at the girl next to her through the mirror. She was a mere


    six out of ten, and she’d look in if she was barefaced. There were plenty of people like her in the


    entertainment industry. For someone like her to say that Yelena looked average, there was probably


    something wrong with her.


    “Exactly! As long as we find the right opportunity without Elspeth beside her, she can be taken care of


    within a few minutes.”


    “Oh? Are you going to take care of her?”


    “I wouldn’t dare. People are already lining up to teach her a lesson, and it’ll be a long time before it’s


    my turn.”


    The two of themughed, but when those words reached Elspeth’s ears, it wasn’t as simple as a joke.


    Her internal rm instantly went off, and after the two of them left, she quickly ran back to her table.


    Most people had already left by then, leaving only Callum and a few men who were still drinking.


    She asked anxiously, “Callum, where’s Yelena?”


    “That little girl can’t handle her liquor. She passed out after a few drinks, so Max and ke took her


    back to the hotel. What’s wrong? Do you need her for something?” This was the first time Callum had


    heard her asking about Yelena in such a worried tone, and he felt uneasy for some reason.


    “It’s nothing, actually.” When she heard that the two men had taken Yelena back to the hotel, she finally


    rxed.


    In the end, Elspeth and Callum also returned to their hotel room and were about to rest when she


    suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

    Perplexed, she answered the call, and on the other end was Max’s urgent and desperate voice.


    “Elspeth! ke and Yelena have been kidnapped!”
