Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 140

“Nothing. However, it will be a different story when a reporter sees it. If memory serves, Yelena is building a pure

and innocent image. Her career will be shattered if her fans discover she has a crush and has even kissed

someone.”

Jordan then continued as he seemingly remembered something, “Yelena invited not just her friends but several

celebrities. With so many people around, everyone has the potential to propagate misinformation. What’s the

difference?”

“However, we were the only ones who witnessed it. Nobody else will know if you keep your mouth shut.” Elspeth

was upset when she heard the threat, so she spoke bluntly. “Could it be that you wish to take advantage of Yelena?

I’m sure you’re too preoccupied for that.”

Jordan lifted his brows when he heard that. “Do you believe I’m that kind of person?”

“Of course not. I hope you can consider this seriously.”

Then, he chuckled. “It’s amusing that such an intelligent woman as you can’t grasp what I’m saying.”

Elspeth frowned at that. “What exactly do you mean?”

Jordan shook his head before leaning close to her ear and whispering, “Others were peeking, too.”

Elspeth quickly understood the situation. Jordan was trying to remind her of the reporter.

“If I’m not mistaken, the person was carrying a camera and snapped many pictures,” Jordan said. “If my guess is

correct, Yelena should be making the headlines tomorrow.”

Elspeth’s expression turned icy as she asked, “Did you get a good look at the reporter?”

Jordan took a breather before smiling. “That is something I cannot reveal. If you want to find out, trade with me.”

Frowning, she muttered, “What can I give you in exchange?”

“Come to my company and I’ll make you vice president.”

She declined it without hesitation. “It’s not possible. I’m not going to quit my existing employment.”

“Then you’ll never receive an answer from me,” Jordan murmured while spreading his palms. Then, he swirled his

glass and turned to go. “The deal is off. I hope you can find another solution.”

Elspeth did not intervene and let him go.

Jordan will always coerce me if I accept his bargain when he has dirt on me. As for what may happen tomorrow… It

should be fine as long as we perform some damage control.

Elspeth sighed and was going to return to locate Callum, but someone stopped her.

She was preoccupied and didn’t want to talk to the person, but the individual in front of her refused to go even

after she respectfully asked them to do so.

She looked up and discovered that it was Alaina, who had been sacked from the company two days before.

Alaina looked well-off despite being sacked from the organization.

Even if she didn’t have a job as a corporate director, she was still a Sullivan. Her life was nothing if not luxurious.

“It’s been a long time, Elspeth.”

Alaina could keep her cool better than Ophelia. Previously, she would have immediately slapped the woman.

Elspeth didn’t mind and forced a grin when she noticed Alaina’s arrogant expression. “Miss Sullivan, if there’s

nothing else, please excuse me. Obedient dogs do not cause problems.”

She didn’t want to interact with Alaina in any way.

Alaina’s face became crimson with rage as she heard that. “Who are you calling a dog?! Elspeth Lynwood, I assure

you that you will regret how you have treated me!”

With that, Alaina took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

Elspeth only gave her a chilly stare. “Suit yourself.”

Alaina scoffed when she saw Elspeth’s tenacity. “Elspeth, aren’t you curious as to why, despite your explanation,

Arthur believes in Alphascape and not you?”

Elspeth was about to leave but she came to a halt when she heard those words.

“How much do you know?”

Alaina arrogantly raised her chin and continued, “I said you’d regret how you treated me. I’m presently working

with Alphascape. Therefore, I’m well-versed in this topic. Do you want me to tell you something?”

“Do you think I’ll apologize in panic and beg you to tell me the truth after hearing that?”

Alaina’s mouth was agape because she did have such thoughts.

“Alaina, you’re too naïve. I’ll look into it myself and my findings will be more extensive and comprehensive than

what you know.” Elspeth pursed her lips, then added as she remembered something, “But I must thank you. I

wouldn’t have known Alphascape was behind it if it hadn’t been for you.”

Alaina flushed as she realized she had done something silly yet again.

I came specifically to be humiliated.

“Don’t be too pretentious!”

She threw Elspeth a nasty glare, knowing she couldn’t win the argument verbally.

Meanwhile, Elspeth did not feel better despite being out in the open for so long. Her dizziness didn’t go away, so she

returned to find a place to relax.

Alaina did not stop her or say anything after seeing Elspeth was uncomfortable. She took a step back and watched

Elspeth walk away shakily. Then, she triumphantly smiled discreetly behind Elspeth’s back.

My drug is colorless, odorless, and long-lasting. Any layperson would have missed it. Even though Elspeth is clever,

she can’t help but drink at a friend’s party. As a result, she is bound to unwind. I just directed an attendant to take

her to a specific room. If she goes in, a few men will be waiting for her. At that time, she’ll be doomed!

Alaina felt triumphant in the face of Elspeth’s awful situation.

She returned to the party and pretended to be unconcerned to prevent suspicion from others.

On the other hand, Elspeth was about to locate a room to rest in when an attendant appeared out of nowhere and

guided her into a room. As a result, an alarm went off in her head.

All of this is far too coincidental. If I’m not mistaken, I’m being drugged. However, I must not alert the enemy, or I

will not know who is responsible.

As a result, Elspeth feigned to agree. When the attendant was not looking, she quietly took an antidote from her

little pouch and ate it to get rid of the drug in her system.

After that, she held her forehead in her palm to appear dizzy and let the attendant escort her upstairs.

Elspeth had been to Yelena’s house before but was unfamiliar with the layout. However, the attendant was worse

than she was since he took her almost everywhere as he looked for the correct location. They eventually came to a

halt in front of a room.

Elspeth offered a weak smile. “I appreciate you bringing me here. You can continue your work and leave me alone

if there is nothing else.”

The attendant nodded and left after completing his duty of guiding her to a room.

Elspeth knocked on the door. The door was unlocked but there was no response from within.

And so, she took a deep breath and gently pushed the door inward.
