Chapter 258


    Follow me around the clock…


    The corners of Elspeth’s mouth twitched slightly; the memory of Callum’s unyielding vignce at the


    bathroom door flooded back to her.


    “It’s fine. Go back. Why follow his orders?”


    “Because Mr. Edmund is the one who pays us,” one of them replied.


    His words took Elspeth by surprise. She knew they were trying to keep her safe by following her, so


    she couldn’t get mad at them.


    “I’ll pay you triple. Just don’t follow me, alright?”


    “We really can’t do that. We can’t disobey Mr. Edmund’smands. Just let us keep youpany.”


    The ck-d figures were clearly torn.


    “Okay, okay.” Elspeth rolled her eyes. “If you insist. But do me a favor, alright? Don’t get in my face


    unless necessary. Got it?”


    The two breathed a collective sigh of relief, nodding in unison. “Understood. We know what we’re


    doing. Don’t worry.”


    Then why won’t you listen to me and go back?


    She became a little annoyed. “Alright! Go on! My friend is arriving soon. Just remember, don’t blow


    your cover.”


    “Don’t worry. We won’t be foolish enough to expose ourselves to your boyfriend!”


    Boyfriend… Just how much do you know about me?


    She rolled their eyes in response. “Suit yourself.”


    “Oh, and Mr. Edmund knows about your rtionship. He’s worried that you might encounter some


    trouble, so he decided toe back from abroad early.” The information was leaked explicitly to her to


    threaten her into obedience, though Edmund wasn’t sure what kind of pressure that was supposed to


    be.


    Elspeth’s face paled. “Noted.” She knew he was going to give her a hard time again. As soon as the


    companions sensed her distress, they quickly vanished into the shadows.


    A momentter, she spotted Callum and Max rushing over from another direction, looking anxious.


    When they saw Elspeth unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Elspeth, where did you go just now?” Max asked worriedly.


    Elspeth pointed to a nearby room. “I was in this room with ke and Yelena.”


    Max’s heart sank. “This…”


    “It’s okay. They’ve only been in there for a little while. They were probably drugged and left here.”


    Elspeth offered a reassuring smile, which relieved Max.


    “But you’ve seen all those reporters around too. I stopped a few of them and deleted the pictures from


    their cameras. However, that doesn’t mean we’re safe because many of them got away.”


    Hearing herment, Max furrowed his brows. “Then, I’ll find them now. I’ll make sure to delete all of


    the pictures.”


    “It’s useless. There are so many news outlets out there. Even if you get to each and every one of them,


    the news would already be uploaded,” Callum exined, after which she gently nodded.


    “But what do we do? We can’t let people misunderstand the situation between the two of them, can


    we?” Max’s concerns were not unfounded, as it wasn’t just a rumor but tant infidelity; no matter how


    they exined it, it would have already left an impression.


    Yelena was no ordinary celebrity, with attention naturally drawn to her like a moth to a me. Her


    romantic affairs were always under scrutiny, even more so when she was caught sleeping with the


    male lead of her uing film.


    Who would doubt that the two of them were set up?


    Adding to the drama was Yelena’s prior announcement of her fondness for Max. If she were


    misunderstood as a two-timer, bystanders would quickly turn their backs, fans would abandon her, and


    Max’s supporters would cause a scene. Yelena’s career in the entertainment industry would be


    finished!


    Everything that happened was no mere attempt to stir up publicity but an apparent attempt to destroy


    Yelena. Elspeth’s heart raced even faster, but she took a deep breath. “Let’s not worry about this for


    now. I’ll handle it.”


    Regardless, Yelena’s reputation for sleeping around was thoroughly established. They would have to


    find a way to remedy the situation.


    “Alright, then. Let’s go in and take a look at them,” dered Max, clenching his fists. Although his mood


    was sour, he hadn’t forgotten about Yelena’s state. However, Elspeth coughed dryly to get her


    attention. “Yelena’s clothes… Ahem, it isn’t quite appropriate for you to enter now. I think I should go in


    and help her change first.”


    Callum narrowed his eyes. “If that’s the case, does that mean ke is also in disarray?”


    He didn’t want his woman to see another man’s body. Besides, it was ke, a weakling who spent


    most of his time in the entertainment industry without much exercise!


    Elspeth rolled her eyes. “It isn’t appropriate if you find a male at this time just to protect her reputation,


    right?”


    “We can find a female servant.”


    Elspeth immediately showed an exaggerated expression. “A female servant? Are you afraid that not


    enough people are aware of this?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Fine. just this once.”


    Even if Callum was ufortable, he had to endure it; after all, it would be more difficult to deal with


    the situation if they woke up anyter.


    Elspeth was quite strong; after entering, she put on Yelena’s skirt on her with just a few simple


    movements, carried her out, and swiftly transferred her to another room.


    On the other hand, she only identally briefly nced at ke after she took Yelena out of the room.


    Honestly speaking, he’s really nothing more than a decoration with no practical use, pleasing to the


    eyes, but useless. Coughs! I mean…


    Yelena slumbered till 8.00AM before waking up, while ke was up and about bright and early.


    Looking at the three people before him, a hint of ambiguity crossed ke’s face.


    As he lowered his head and found that he wasn’t even dressed, he instantly felt a mix of


    embarrassment and helplessness.


    “What’s going on here?!” ke eximed.


    Elspeth was the first to speak. “Like finally, ke. Tell us what happenedst night. Come on!”


    Her anxiety was genuine. After a night of contemtion, the more she thought about it, the more


    bizarre it seemed. In fact, she even had a hunch about who was the mastermind.


    “Last night…” ke recalled, suddenly realizing. “Last night, I took Max and Yelena back to the hotel.


    But on the way, we encountered someone unconscious by the side of the road. We thought we’d go


    down and help, but we never imagined that as soon as we got out of the car, Yelena would be taken


    away. Then, at the intersection, three or four people took me too, leaving only Max. Afterward, we were


    knocked out. And then… That’s all there is to it.”


    ke rubbed his neck. Bro! Why do I feel so sore?


    “So, those people were precisely on target with their capture, urately guessing that Yelena and


    ke were in the same car.


    ke thought about it and couldn’t help but agree. “It seems that’s how it is.”


    “Well then, there’s no need to investigate further. I know who’s behind this.”


    Who else could it be? Only Emma Walker from the banquet has the power to act so quickly!
