Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 420

Chapter 420 In Self-Defense

It was the first time Jethro felt an oppressive aura from a man other than himself. He narrowed his eyes and instantly felt like he had met a strong opponent. However, he was not subpar himself, so he did not cower under Callum's bravura. Instead, he stood straighter to make himself look taller. "I'll be waiting for that."

Calmly, Callum looked at him and understood something after seeing his young face filled with confidence. Without saying anything else, he left.

Watching the retreating figure, Jethro suddenly reached out his right hand before waving his fist in the air. "What's there to show off about? You're an ex, but you still came to threaten me."

At first, he wanted to tell Elspeth about this incident, but when he grabbed his phone, he seemed to have thought of something and put it back. He could not possibly tell her about this!

She was trying to forget that man, so if he told her that Callum had come to his ward and declared war on him, she would think Callum still had her in his heart. If the two of them got back together, wouldn't I be the losing party? No way! I think it's better if I don't tell her about this.

…

A few days later, Aldea gathered and immersed herself back into filming. Meanwhile, Yelena had also taken a day off to finally execute her scene. On set, Jasmine seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for Yelena by messing up constantly. As if it was déjà vu, it felt exactly the same as when they were filming the television series.

As the frustrated Yelena watched Jasmine acting up again, she knew it would be inappropriate for her to chastise Jasmine because they were on set. As such, she could only ask her to be more

professional.

Jasmine looked at Yelena's face and beamed. "Yelena, I'm not trying to show off, but Callum has paid forty million for me to shoot this…"

When Yelena heard that, her eyes almost rolled to the back of her head. "I don't care if Callum spent forty million or forty billion on you, but since you're here, you'd better be more professional." After saying so, she felt satisfied with herself. Hey, it kind of rhymes.

The image Jasmine had always maintained was a pampered princess, yet now, another woman angered her with her rebuke. "Watch what you're saying. Didn't you also have someone pull some strings to get you here?"

Yelena placed her hands on her hip and acted haughtily. "So what if I had? Why can't I do it if I have someone supporting me? What's more, I have more fans than you, so what right do you have to compete with me?"

Popularity had always been Jasmine's sore spot, so when she heard Yelena's unrestrained criticism, she could not hold back anymore and wanted to slap her.

Before her hand landed on Yelena's face, another hand grabbed hers. She turned around in shock and was immediately flustered when she saw an expressionless Elspeth standing beside her. "You're hurting me."

Elspeth flung away Jasmine's arm, which bumped into something due to the force.

"You—" Her sentence had yet to fully form when Jasmine noticed a figure coming in through the door. Then, she immediately started acting pitifully. "Why did you push me? I did nothing wrong."

Elspeth watched her immediate change in attitude and knew Callum had arrived. As she expected, she saw him standing not far away from them when she turned around. Both had cold expressions and were still indifferent after meeting each other's gaze.

Behind Callum was Arthur, who had his hands in his pockets. Noticing the exciting scene, he rubbed his chin, obviously enjoying the show. On the other hand, Elspeth had her arms crossed before her chest while standing there.

"Callum, my hand hurts…" Jasmine coquettishly reached her hand out to the man, who froze slightly but still reached out to help her up.

Watching the affectionate couple before her, Elspeth had nothing to say except that she regretted compromising the rule to disallow visitors on set. It seemed like something dramatic was about to happen.

"Callum, you saw it too. Elspeth pushed me to the ground without a good reason. You must stand up for me." She lowered her head and sneaked a glance at Elspeth from the corner of her eye.

At the same time, Elspeth was racking her brain as to why all these women, who were supposed to possess different personalities, all resorted to the same pathetic approach when it came to her.

First, it was Ophelia, then Emma; now, she had Jasmine. Still, it was undeniable that Callum was quite the womanizer. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Without batting an eyelid, Elspeth retorted, "Do you have any evidence that proves that I pushed you for no reason?"

Jasmine was about to continue when she heard that and froze. Shouldn't Elspeth ask, "How can you prove that I pushed you?" That way, I can rebuke her by saying she refuses to admit she pushed me and so on. Why did she… admit it?

She was dumbfounded because the script she had prepared was unusable now.

"Perhaps you're jealous because Callum treats me so nicely. I know you still have feelings for him and can't forget about him. After all, he's an excellent man."

Just by listening to that, Yelena knew Jasmine had no words to retort, which was why she deliberately added salt to Elspeth's wound. As such, Yelena came forward and rebuked, "Callum here, Callum there. How about you shut the hell up?"

When dealing with more reasonable people like Elspeth, Jasmine could manage to rebuke a few times. However, when facing an unreasonable and crazy woman like Yelena, she could only take the criticism. After all, she could not get overly emotional or act indecently before her man.

"Yelena, I did nothing to you. Why would you—"

Yelena sneered loudly. "You did nothing to me? You know very well whether you did anything. I don't care if you target me, but if you dare to taunt Elspeth, I'll set your hair on fire!"

Hearing such vicious words, Jasmine looked at Yelena's furious visage and was frightened, instinctively touching her hair. "Yelena, you can't do that. It's against the law, and I…" hate you, you b*tch!!

Noticing that Jasmine was out of retorts, Elspeth finally came forward. "Since you're not convinced, how about we take a look at the surveillance footage and see what happened?"

Surveillance footage?

Jasmine felt her back suddenly drenched in a cold sweat. How could she have forgotten about the security cameras here?

"Did you hear that? I did those things in self-defense." Yelena raised her chin arrogantly.

"According to Article 20 of 'The Criminal Law', causing damage or harm to the person administering crime as an act of stopping the criminal for the nation, public interests, oneself or others, property and other rights of oneself or others is self-defense and not criminally liable."

Another cold male voice suddenly sounded from the door as a tall man in a black coat walked toward them.
