Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 427

Chapter 427 Might Have Been Plotted Against

This condition might have been a little harsh to Elspeth in the past, but now that Callum was about to marry Jasmine, she knew she would look like an idiot if she kept hanging around Callum.

The information Jasmine offered to let her know was way more interesting.

Elspeth didn't even hesitate to agree to the condition.

"Alright. It's a deal. Can you tell me now?"

Jasmine was puzzled when she heard that. "The two of you might have broken up, but do you really not have even the slightest bit of feelings for him left? You didn't even take your time to think before you answered!"

"Why should I?"

Jasmine put on a confused expression again before she shook her head in resignation. "I couldn't tell at all. You're a pretty cold-hearted woman, aren't you?"

"Alright, enough with that. Just tell me what you know."

"I can tell you, but this isn't the best place to have that conversation. Come with me. I will show you some documents."

"Why didn't you bring the documents here in the first place?" Elspeth was the one who was perplexed now.

A look of distrust appeared on Jasmine's face at that point. "And what if you snatched it away from me? I didn't know if you were going to do that."

In terms of their physiques, Elspeth was indeed the stronger and more agile one.

The two then came to the underground garage. When Elspeth noticed that Jasmine had no intention of looking for her car, she asked, "You didn't drive here? Was it not your driver who dropped you off?"

Jasmine turned around and the smile on her face was much wider now. "Of course, my driver brought me here, but I'm not the only one he is picking up. You're coming with me!"

As soon as she said those words, a few burly men suddenly appeared behind her.

Elspeth was on high alert the moment she saw the stocky group of men.

"What is the meaning of this?" she hissed.

Jasmine clapped her hands, and immediately a man stepped forward and asked attentively, "Everything is ready, Miss McGrath. When should we make a move?"

"Now, duh! What are you waiting for?"

The men behind immediately started getting ready and tried to catch Elspeth.

Naturally, she wouldn't just stand there and wait for them to get her. She quickly gave the man in the lead a roundabout kick to his head, drawing a pained cry from him.

"You guys know who I am, don't you?" She looked at the rest of the men behind the first one as they froze in place. She then sneered, "Come at me and you will end up like him."

The men were terrified when they saw the blood on the face of the man lying on the ground before them.

No one told them anything about Elspeth being so scary!

The man standing in front of the group took a glance at Jasmine and gulped. "Miss McGrath, this woman looks dangerous. How about we use a different approach?"

However, Jasmine had already lost her patience at some point.

"Don't even dream about being paid if you don't catch her today!"

Hearing that, the man no longer dared to hesitate. He promptly barked an instruction for all the other brutes to take Elspeth down. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"It seems like you don't know what's best for you. I won't be holding back, then."

After finishing speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and went into battle mode.

She dropped the men on the floor in a matter of seconds, her movements neat and clean.

Jasmine didn't know what Elspeth was truly capable of, which was why she hired goons whom Elspeth wasn't afraid of.

Presently, Jasmine quietly cursed as she looked at the men wailing on the floor.

But within the next second, Elspeth had shifted her gaze to Jasmine.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jasmine was so frightened by the eerie look in Elspeth's eyes that she took a few steps backward.

"Why, you ask? Of course, it's because I'm going to do to you what I did to them."

Elspeth calmly smiled and slowly approached Jasmine. Right when she raised her hands, a man pounced on her and pressed her to the ground from behind.

"Miss McGrath, I got her!" the man squealed excitedly. Jasmine came back to her senses and she took out a spray bottle from her pocket.

With one hand covering her nose, she pointed the nozzle at Elspeth and forcefully pressed down on the actuator.

Elspeth suddenly felt her consciousness slip away as her strength gradually left her body.

She only had one thought before she completely passed out.

They got me again.

…

Yelena didn't know that Elspeth had been kidnapped. Right now, she had come to Elspeth's company because of the lie she told that morning. Guilt-ridden, she planned to tell Elspeth everything and apologize.

Of course, Hank, who knew she had done something wrong, offered to send her to the company.

"Are you going to tell her every single detail about what happened between us?" His clear voice rang out from above her head.

"I won't!" After saying this, Yelena suddenly blushed when she realized that he was teasing her. "Enough. Stop it with this nonsense. Let's talk after we see Elspeth."

They soon came to the front desk of the company. As Yelena was a frequent visitor here, the lady at the front desk recognized her at a glance.

"Miss Sullivan, are you here to hang out with Miss Lynwood as well today?"

Yelena bashfully lowered her head and giggled. After ruffling her hair, she murmured, "I am! Is she in?"

The receptionist thought about it carefully before she shook her head and pointed outside.

"Miss Lynwood went out with a Miss McGrath just now."

McGrath? Yelena thought.

How come I'm not aware of her having a friend called McGrath?

It's not Jasmine McGrath, is it?

"Was that person's name Jasmine McGrath?"

Although the receptionist didn't know the woman's name, she could somewhat describe her appearance. "Miss McGrath is tall and thin, just like a model! She looks gentle and kind, and her hair is dyed blonde. She's probably around five-foot-four…"

This description alone already made it clear that Jasmine was the one who brought Elspeth away.

Yelena couldn't help feeling worried and puzzled when she realized that it was Jasmine.

Where did she take her at such an important time?

She quickly took her phone out and called Elspeth. However, no one picked up even after four or five tries.

Elspeth had never not answered Yelena's calls. Even if something else was keeping her occupied, Elspeth would hang up and inform her.

"You don't have to try calling her anymore," Hank uttered in a heavy voice.

Yelena had a bad feeling about this. "What do you mean?"

"I said, you don't have to call her anymore. Something has definitely happened to her."

What?! But Elspeth can fight! How can something have happened to her?

Yelena obviously didn't want to believe this as she raised her head to glare at Hank.

"Are you thinking about how it's impossible for something to happen to her when she's such a good fighter?"

"Yeah…" She nodded.

"Even if she can fight, she is just a lady who is a little stronger than others. There is only so much she can do with her physical strength." After he said this, he lowered his voice and raised another point. "What if she was plotted against by someone?"

Yelena was about to burst into tears from the anxiety. "What about Elspeth? How am I going to find her?"

Realizing that he had frightened her with his words, Hank subconsciously pulled her into his arms and comforted her.

"C'mon, don't worry about it. I promise I'll get her back for you."

The person in his embrace then nuzzled him a little. Yelena seemed convinced by his words.

Hank immediately felt relief wash over him.

He didn't mind helping out. After all, Yelena might grow fonder of him because of what was happening to Elspeth.
