Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 402

Chapter 402 I Was Blind to Have Fallen in Love With Him

When Yelena stepped into the bar, she started to drink. After a few shots, her face began turning red, and she started mumbling incoherent words. "Max is an *sshole. I must have been blind to have fallen in love with him." As she spoke, her eyes were teary while she hugged a beer bottle.

When Elspeth heard her words, she sighed and looked at Hank. Seeing that Hank seemed to be amused by what Yelena had said, she frowned.

"That is why I will never forgive him. He still hasn't looked for me. That means he doesn't love me anymore… I hate him! I f*cking hate him!" Yelena was extremely drunk, and she was smiling giddily at the people around them.

At this moment, a fat man beside her saw that she was drunk. Then, he approached her with a smile. "Do you have a boyfriend, girly? Why don't we have some time alone?"

Seeing that he had put his dirty hand on her, Yelena screamed, "Don't you dare touch me! It's disgusting! Go away!"

Initially, the man was laughing. However, when he heard her words, he was furious. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. I'm giving you an option here, and you'd better take it. If you keep up with the innocent act, I won't go easy on you!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and tried to slap her.

At that moment, Yelena raised her head and looked at the man's hand with her sparkly eyes.

Suddenly, the man felt pain in his wrist. When he turned around to see who it was, he saw the tall man standing beside Yelena grabbing him. The look in his eyes was terrifying.

"Who are you trying not to go easy on?" Although Hank's words were soft and casual, the man could hear the threatening tone in his voice.

"Why are you doing this to me? I don't think I have offended you." The man was in agony, but he didn't dare say anything.

"I'm asking a question here. Whom are you trying to mess with?" Hank stared at him with a stoic expression. His eyes were cold and ruthless.

When Elspeth saw his face, she was surprised that the gentle Hank could be so ruthless when he was angry.

The man was horrified and pleaded for forgiveness. "I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to treat this beautiful woman to a drink. If she is unwilling to, I will just back off. I wouldn't dream of using force…"

However, Hank didn't want to let him off the hook. Although he had released the man, he suddenly kicked him.

The man cried in pain as he fell to the ground. When he saw the crowd looking at him like a laughing stock, he felt humiliated and furious. "How dare you treat me like this? Do you know who I am?"

"I don't need to know who you are, but you must know whom you are dealing with."

Yelena was drunk and didn't know what was happening between them. However, she vaguely felt like she was the cause of this. Hence, she pointed at herself and asked dumbly, "Are you talking about me?" All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Of course," replied Hank with a smile. At that moment, his cold attitude had vanished.

As Elspeth stood beside and watched the scene, she didn't feel the need to take matters into her hands. Moreover, it seemed like Hank cared for Yelena more than she expected.

"I am the almighty in Damoria. If you offend me, you won't be forgiven." At that moment, the man scrambled up from the ground and pointed at Hank's nose with his finger as he spoke.

"How rude of you to point your fingers at others," said Hank. This time, he quickly grabbed the man's finger and bent it. In that split second, a bone-cracking sound was heard. Soon, the man's finger was broken.

"Ah!" The man howled in pain.

"Leave, or I will make things worse for you." Hank gave one last warning to him. Only at that moment did the man know Hank was not someone to be easily messed with. Then, he spat and quickly ran off. After that, Hank raised an eyebrow at Elspeth and said, "Please take care of the rest, Miss Lynwood."

Elspeth was slightly surprised by his actions and nodded. "Of course." Then, she sent a text to the bar manager. 'Stop the man who just ran away and give him a hell of a beating,' she texted.

When she raised her head, Hank had a satisfied smile on his face. "I'm so glad that Yelena has such a good friend like you to protect her."

Hearing his words, Elspeth felt that something was off with it. Why does it feel like he is her family, and I am an outsider? she thought.

"Yelena is my friend. It's only natural that I will protect her from all harm." You, on the other hand, are kind of crossing the line.

Before Elspeth could finish her words, Yelena stumbled over and flopped herself into Hank's embrace. She even snuggled up to him in satisfaction and said, "You are so warm. I'm getting kind of tired now." As soon as she was done talking, she fell asleep.

Looking at her, Elspeth sighed and was ready to pull Yelena out of Hank's embrace when he immediately hugged her closer to him.

"Don't you think this is inappropriate?" asked Elspeth.

Since Hank was tall, he was relaxed as he carried the petite Yelena in his arms. "I don't see the problem here. If you were to carry her, she might be uncomfortable."

Elspeth rubbed her nose at his words since he had a point. After letting out a sigh, she allowed him to carry Yelena.

"It's getting late. Let's get you guys home. I'm sure you guys have had enough drinks for tonight," said Hank.

Initially, Elspeth thought he would try to think of ways to take Yelena to his home or find an opportunity to be alone. After all, Hank's intentions were pretty obvious to her. However, she didn't know he was such a gentleman.

"That'll be great. Thank you."

As she spoke, she took Yelena's jacket, which the woman had taken off while drunk, and followed behind Hank. However, she didn't expect to see a familiar car as soon as she walked out the door. Isn't that Callum's car?

While she was caught in surprise, Hank suddenly disappeared. At that moment, Elspeth was nervous. After all, she wouldn't be able to find Yelena since she didn't have his number. As she stepped forward,

she heard a familiar voice calling for her from the car.

"Elspeth." The spokesperson's voice made Elspeth stop in her tracks.

What happened at the Winthrop Residence was still a fresh memory for her, and she couldn't overlook it. Hence, she felt like she had been wronged when she looked into Callum's calm eyes.

"What do you want?" she asked him.

However, Callum didn't get out of the car. Just as Elspeth thought he was calling her for fun, he suddenly said, "Get in."
