Chapter 396 Deliberately Setting Her Up
Elspeth wanted to take Agnes to her usual workplace after they were done with the formalities. However, when she received a call last minute, she had to ask Harper to guide Agnes while she hurried back to her office.
With her phone in her hands, her pupils narrowed at a photo sent to her WhatsApp.
It was a photo taken from a surveillance camera’s angle. Although it was black and white, she could still clearly see a familiar figure in the corner.
She recognized the figure she had spent a long time with at a glance…
Helena Joneson!
‘Elsie, I got this photo after I looked into the surveillance footage of the places where Miss Joneson might have gone to. I compared it to the photos you gave me. There is a big possibility that this person is Miss Joneson.’
‘Big possibility? This is her!’ Elspeth replied.
‘Got it. I will help you check the next surveillance footage and let you know where she might have gone. Talk soon.’
“Alright. Thanks, Lisa.’
After ending the conversation, Elspeth stared at the photo, feeling lost.
That went on for a short minute before she suddenly noticed a serious problem. This hospital looked familiar. In fact, it looked like the one she brought Aldea to last time.
She carefully compared the photos, only to find one too many similarities between them.
At this point in time, there should be a high chance of the two of them meeting each other if they were at the hospital at the same time.
In other words, Helena might have noticed her, but she didn’t make herself known to Elspeth!
But why didn’t she? Why did she suddenly leave without a word? And she refuses to see me no matter what.
Elspeth’s frown deepened because she couldn’t understand Helena’s plan.
Right when her mind was a mess, she immediately received a call from Harper.
“Come here quickly, Elsie.”
He sounded somewhat worried. It was as if he didn’t know how to deal with the situation happening in front of him.
Elspeth collected her thoughts and nodded. “Okay, I’m on my way.”
According to Harper’s description, an irreconcilable dispute had appeared where he was.
By the time she arrived, she was greeted by the sight of Agnes clenching her fists and standing in the corner without saying a word.
Across from her was Skylar, whose sour face had turned maroon.
“You’re finally here, Elsie. The two of them started arguing for some reason. I don’t know what to do.” Harper seemed to have a headache as he massaged his forehead.
Seeing the mess in front of her, Elspeth lowered her voice and asked, “What’s this? Why did you both start arguing?”
Seeing Elspeth approaching them, Skylar thought that Elspeth would definitely stand on her side given her position as the biggie of the company.
She was completely confident when she proudly began. “Miss Lynwood! She said something rude to me. How did someone like her even get hired here?”
Clearly, she didn’t know that Agnes was someone Elspeth personally recruited.
Elspeth smiled playfully upon hearing that. “You said she was rude to you, hmm? Why don’t you tell me what she did?”
“She rolled her eyes at me when she saw me. And when I asked her why she was acting this way as a newcomer, she said it was simply because she hated the sight of me.”
Skylar was no fool. She had noticed at first glance how similar to her Agnes looked.
Elspeth’s eyes narrowed as a dangerous glint flashed in them when she heard how Skylar was putting a new label on Agnes with every word that she casually uttered. “It is a good thing that everyone has their own personality. If you can’t accept her, cut down on coming in contact with her.”
Every other employee instantly understood when they heard those words.
Elspeth was brazenly speaking out on behalf of a newcomer!
Everything was clear as day then.
“I agree! This company encourages its employees to develop in their own ways. Nothing wrong with that!”
After one person spoke up, the others quickly echoed.
Seeing this, Skylar knew she had to carefully calculate her next move no matter how much she wanted to get rid of Agnes.
She was struggling to keep her temper in control. As her smile started to look twisted, she chose to let her head hang slightly to appear weak to avoid putting on the wrong expression.
“I understand, Miss Lynwood. There won’t be a next time.”
My plan was to humiliate her, but why am I the one apologizing in the end?
This woman can’t stay!
Now that Elspeth had put this issue to rest, she was just about to head back to her office when Harper stopped her. He informed her, “Someone is waiting for you outside.”
“Waiting for me? Who would come when it’s almost time to get off work?” She stopped in her tracks.
Harper hesitated for a moment. “It’s Callum Winthrop,” he gingerly announced.
Elspeth was taken aback when she heard that. Callum can’t wait to hate me. Why would he be waiting for me outside?
