Chapter 624 Have the Meeting Over Video Conference
While I was in a vegetative state in a hospital abroad, I thought I would die. Yet, I somehow managed
to recover by some miraculous stroke of luck. Isn’t that a message from on high telling me to keep
fighting until I get my revenge? After all, those who have harmed me have not yet paid the price for
their actions, right?
Even three dayster, Elspeth couldn’t get Yena’s words out of her head. After their conversation came
to an unsatisfactory conclusion, she knew she couldn’t do anything to Yena then, so she had no choice
but to leave Alphascape. However, she etched Yena’s words into her mind and felt that Yena would do
something even more heinous.
In the meantime, Elspeth received an unexpected call during her afternoon meeting. As it was from
Yelena, she epted the call after excusing herself.
Since Yelena was aware of Elspeth’s daily schedule, something must have happened for her to disrupt
Elspeth during working hours.

When Elspeth answered the call, she heard Yelena crying through the phone. “Elspeth, I see no point
in living anymore.”
However, Elspeth had never seen her break down like this before. Hence, she tensed up and chided
softly, “What are you saying?! What happened?”
“Hank is getting engaged to someone else.” After saying that, Yelena lowered her voice. “He also told
me that he doesn’t care who I marry and that I should never bother him again.”
Why would he say such a thing? Elspeth couldn’t believe it, but Yelena was upset, so she had to help
Yelena in coping with the situation. “Do you know who he’s getting engaged to?”
“I do,” Yelena answered between her sniffling. “It’s his first love.”
His first love? Elspeth’s face immediately turned pale as she recalled that she neglected to delve
further into his past during her investigation of Hank. Who knew my oversight would turn out to be so
catastrophic? The first order of business is to track him down and grill him on the matter. Currently,
Yelena is abroad and experiencing a mental breakdown. I can’t bring her to find and confront him. At
that thought, she offered a few more words offort before hanging up the phone.
On the other hand, her assistant noticed Elspeth was off the phone and asked, “Can we continue the
meeting now, Miss Lynwood?”
“Adjourn the meeting for now. We’ll continue when I get back,” Elspeth instructed before she turned
around. However, she changed her mind and said, “Get Harper to take over the meeting using my
computer.”
“Adjourn the meeting for now. We’ll continue when I get back,” Elspeth instructed before she turned
around. However, she changed her mind and said, “Get Harper to take over the meeting using my
computer.”
“But… Mr. Summerfield is abroad right now,” the assistant reminded her.
“Get him to have the meeting over video conference.”
After hearing that, the assistant looked even more conflicted now. “But…”
“No more buts. Sort it out at once.” After saying that, Elspeth left the office.
Previously, she believed Yelena took a trip abroad to take her mind off work-rted issues, but she did
not realize it was due to Hank. If he was about to get engaged, it meant he had been going behind
Yelena’s back for a while.
Meanwhile, Elspeth was driving above the speed limit, and many vehicles shed headlights to warn
her. Since she was a skilled driver, arriving at Hank’sw firm took her less than ten minutes.
At that time, Summer had dozed off at the front desk when she was startled awake by someone
rushing in. “What are you doing?” She didn’t recognize Elspeth, but she could tell the woman in front of
her was not to be trifled with.
“I’m here to look for yourwyer.”
“M-Mr. Damazio left early this morning,” Summer informed with a slight stutter. “He’s not back yet. Why
don’t you wait a while for him?”
“Where did he go?”
Summer saw the fury in Elspeth’s eyes and conjured up a guess. Is she someone that Mr. Damazio
had a thing with? Would a woman like her be interested in him? “I think he left for a business meeting,
but he should be back in about half an hour.”
“Fine,” Elspeth said with a smile. “I’ll stay here and wait for him.”
The moment Elspeth smiled, Summer found her appearance even more rming. “Can you tell me
why you want to see him? I can help you make the arrangements first.” She was careful not to offend
Elspeth because she felt Elspeth was not any ordinary woman, so she spoke respectfully.
“It’s fine. Just arrange a time for me. My business with him isn’t something that can be shared in
public.”
Elspeth’s voice was pleasant, but Summer detected a hint of murderous rage in her words. Then,
Summer gulped and forced out a smile. “All right. Please wait here. I’lle and get you when he
returns.”
Therefore, Elspeth waited around thew office for an hour, but Hank never showed up. “Didn’t you say
he would return in half an hour? Why isn’t he back yet?”
After hearing that, Summer’s eyes were a little fidgety. “Maybe he still has some other matters to attend
to. Please wait a little longer. He should being back soon. I-If you’re in a rush, perhaps you can
come back another time instead?”
“Please tell me the truth. What is going on?” Elspeth saw through Summer’s lies when she avoided her
eyes. Hank is avoiding me! When Summer informs him that someone is waiting for him, he must have
deduced that I aming to see him. He has already made his stance clear by trying to avoid me.
Nheless, I will not give up so easily. At that thought, she stood up and said with a faint smile,
“Please ry my message to him that if he does not wish to meet me, I will have no choice but to go to
his house instead.”
Summer quickly nodded in response. She didn’t expect Elspeth to be quick-witted enough to pick up on
the hint so fast. With this in mind, she offered some words of reassurance. “Miss, I don’t know your
name or who you are, but I mean well, and I have something to tell you. Mr. Damazio has a fiancee
now. I don’t believe he would hide from you if it were a work-rted matter, so I assume he’s hiding
because it rtes to his private affairs. You should not seek him out if he does not wish to see you. His
background is quite influential. Also, he even toyed with my friend’s feelings, but I couldn’t say anything
to him—” After that, she sighed sorrowfully.
Suddenly, those words caught Elspeth’s attention. “Who’s your friend? Had she been tricked into
getting into a rtionship with him too?”
Summer was even more convinced that Hank had deceived the woman standing before her after
hearing that. Hence, she began to tell the story. “That’s right. My friend is an extremely gorgeous
woman. She’s as beautiful as a movie star. She was Mr. Damazio’s girlfriend, but he dumped her for no
apparent reason.”
