Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 660 Mutated Virus

He had originally intended to use the evidence to threaten the Alphascape Group if they reneged on

the money, but to his surprise, Elspeth saw through it all.

"You look pretty shrewd to me," Elspeth said, answering his doubts. "As a journalist, preserving

evidence is a given, no?"

The journalist couldn't believe his casual habit was seen through so thoroughly. At that moment, he felt

completely outmatched.

"Fine… I'll give you the evidence," he agreed while gritting his teeth. "However, you must guarantee my

safety. If the Alphascape Group comes after me, you can't let anything happen to me."

Coward, Elspeth mocked while still wearing a saintly smile on her face. "Of course. Since you've

entrusted me with such important information, I will definitely ensure your safety."

Not! She certainly wouldn't say that out loud, though.

At that, the journalist fumbled in his pocket and took out his phone, opening the evidence he had saved

and sending it all to Elspeth. "Okay, that's it."

Elspeth nodded in satisfaction. "This is good enough. Alright, as promised, I won't do anything to you.

You can leave now."

The journalist smiled with relief at once, seeing that she released him so readily.

"Thank you, Miss Lynwood. If there's anything you need me for in the future, please let me know. I'll be

at your service."

With that, the journalist trotted away.

"I don't get why you'd let someone like him go," Yelena said with disdain as she looked at his pathetic

appearance.

"Do you think Alphascape isn't monitoring me? Of course, they aren't capable of stealing my

information. However, what do you think they'll think when the guy they sent left unharmed after our

conversation?"

As simple-minded as Yelena was, even she understood the implications this time. "I see. You

deliberately treated him well and let him go so that Alphascape would think he has told you everything.

They won't let him off the hook when the time comes."

Impressive, truly impressive.

Yelena's eyes twinkled immediately. "Elspeth, you're really amazing! What's it like to have a criminal

mastermind as your best friend? It's absolutely wonderful!"

Elspeth shrugged. "That's why I don't need to deal with him personally. Alphascape will naturally send

someone to take care of him."

At that, Yelena rubbed her chin. "However, won't we lose our witness if someone from Alphascape

goes after him?"

Elspeth smiled but said nothing. The truth would've come to light by then.

…

Three days later…

"Miss Elspeth, according to our tracker, the journalist was suddenly killed in his own home in the middle

of the night."

Elspeth listened to Harper's voice on the phone, her expression unchanged.

She had expected the outcome, so she didn't find it particularly surprising.

The journalist was doomed to die to begin with, for he knew too much.

She had only sent someone to follow him, not to protect him.

"Did you find any evidence?"

"Nothing substantial, but we don't need to find any. That's because I know who did it." Harper's voice

carried a hint of relief.

"Who did it?" Elspeth asked, nodding.

"It was our organization."

Elspeth was somewhat taken aback. That was something she hadn't expected.

"Yena made a small oversight. She didn't realize Evil Wind Sect belongs to you. She foolishly

registered her personal information, and I approved of the deal."

Elspeth couldn't help but feel grateful. This turn of events should make it impossible for Yena to

escape.

Subsequently, Elspeth had people spread all this information online.

In addition to the evidence she had gathered herself, there were also some that Callum had gathered

as well.

Looking at the gruesome evidence, Elspeth couldn't believe that this woman could do such disgusting

things. She had actually established a virus laboratory and was developing viruses!

Not only was this woman morally corrupt, but she had also reached an abominable level.

Yena wasn't easy to deal with, and the only way to ultimately tear the Alphascape Group apart was to

leverage the power of public opinion.

The information immediately caused a huge uproar when it was spread online.

Due to the outbreak, everyone was forced to stay at home. As such, there were even more people

online at this moment than usual.

Everyone became restless when they learned that the main culprit behind their predicament was the

Alphascape Group, and some even threatened to vandalize the company's headquarters.

With that, the Alphascape Group's stocks plummeted. There was also a barrage of criticism online.

The top executives of the Alphascape Group were unaware of Yena's schemes. When they discovered

that she had done such twisted things, they began to resign, switch jobs, and sell their stocks.

In no time, the Alphascape Group became the target of public criticism, and Yena became a universally

despised rat.

The company became on the brink of collapse.

Despite being so careful and leaving no traces behind, Yena couldn't understand how her secret was

exposed and her evidence uncovered. It had been blown out of proportion, and all her evidence was

found.

She became flustered, but she knew that the evidence wasn't enough to truly bring her down. She still

had an ace up her sleeve, and she also knew exactly who had leaked the evidence.

With that, she texted Elspeth. 'Let's talk.'

Elspeth saw that Yena couldn't sit still anymore and had come to find her, but she had already lost

patience for any discussion with her at this point.

'I don't think it's necessary to talk anymore,' she replied.

'It's necessary since this pandemic isn't over yet.'

Elspeth quirked a brow, suddenly having a bad feeling. 'What do you mean? What are you up to

again?'

'Nothing much. The situation has already reached this point anyway. If you don't want to talk, then all of

Damoria will go down with you.'

Elspeth thought it wasn't just a threat, but the woman was actually capable of such madness.

Instantly, an idea struck Elspeth. 'A mutated virus?'

'Indeed, Elspeth, you're annoyingly clever. That's right, I have developed an even more powerful virus.

If you wish not to talk, I guarantee this virus will spread throughout Damoria tonight.'

Yena seemed somewhat unsatisfied and added, 'One more thing. The chances of contracting the

mutated virus are higher for those who have already been infected.'

Was Yena using Yelena as a threat against her? Elspeth realized that she had been reckless, and she

instantly turned grim.

'What time?'

'8.00PM tonight, Alphascape Group. Come alone.'
