Hiding Behind Her Superficiality Novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 711

“Sure. Suit yourself.”

Elspeth looked at his confident demeanor and suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Could it be that you’re involved with the—?”

“Of course not. How could I have the ability to bribe the police? What I meant was, I accept it.”

“Accept it?”

Elspeth never expected Slevin to easily admit defeat.

Seeing the ease in his eyes, Elspeth became even more puzzled.

Soon, the police rushed in.

“Which one of you is Slevin Damazio?”

Slevin leisurely placed his glass aside and smiled. “I am Slevin Damazio, the person you’re looking for.”

Even the police officer was surprised by how casually the criminal confessed. He was momentarily stunned before quickly returning to his senses, then signaled his colleagues to handcuff him.

Slevin’s hands were handcuffed in front of him, and he appeared slightly disheveled.

“Slevin, do you have anything else to say?”

Slevin shook his head lightly.

“No.”

“Do you regret what you’ve done?”

“Why should I regret it?” Slevin smirked, still exuding the same elegance as before. “The gears of fate drive us forward, and everything I’ve done has a beginning and an end.”

After saying these words, the police led him away from the villa.

Elspeth watched his silent departure and felt a complex mix of emotions.

…

When Callum’s condition had improved, Elspeth and he went through a series of procedures for Damian before returning to their home country.

Upon disembarking the plane, Harper cautiously approached Elspeth and whispered in her ear, “You have to be careful this time. Yelena has become abnormal. Ever since you disappeared, she started crying her eyes out and was desperately searching for you, but later on, she completely changed.”

Elspeth’s mouth twitched slightly. “How abnormal are we talking about?”

Harper awkwardly smiled, giving her a knowing look.

Elspeth heard that Yelena would be coming to pick them up today, so she didn’t think much of it. She assumed that Yelena had already adjusted to the fact that she was still alive.

However, as soon as the four of them disembarked, they were quickly surrounded by a group of people.

Burly bodyguards in black suits closed in, attracting curious gazes from the onlookers. The situation was incredibly awkward.

Elspeth covered her face, sighing helplessly.

Suddenly, the bodyguards formed an open path, and the sound of high heels could be heard.

Elspeth raised her head and saw Yelena. Just as Harper had described, she was completely different from before. Yelena had truly transformed her style.

Her long, black hair was tied up high, and she wore a pink camisole with a tight black leather skirt, emanating a cold and sexy aura.

Is this the same cute, obedient, and soft Yelena from before?

In contrast, Elspeth spent the past few years abroad and had completely turned into a motherly figure.

Elspeth lowered her head slightly, her face showing a hint of apology.

“I never expected that an accident would cause me to lose my memory. Fortunately, I survived, but Mr. Schwartz…”

Speaking of Sonny, Elspeth’s heart was forever filled with pain.

“What happened to the old man?”

Yelena had some interaction with Sonny in the past, and the two got along well. Seeing Elspeth’s expression, Yelena could roughly guess what had happened, and a trace of sorrow appeared on her face.

“I understand. Don’t be too sad.”

Elspeth took a deep breath and shook her head.

“That was all a long time ago. The person who made the mistake has already been captured. From now on, we should live our lives well.”

Yelena nodded, refraining from saying more.

On the way home, Yelena specifically requested to ride in the same car as Elspeth.

The two sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Having not spent time together for so long, they didn’t know what to say. They sat there, feeling awkward in each other’s presence.

Finally, Yelena broke the silence.

“Elspeth, how have you been during this time?”

Elspeth nodded slowly. “I’ve been doing fine; at least, I haven’t been harmed. And you? How are you?”

Yelena suddenly shed all her pretenses. Her frosty face melted, and it was replaced with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

“I haven’t been doing well these past few years. I’ve missed you so much. In the beginning, I desperately searched for you, and I always felt that you weren’t dead. They all told me you were gone, but I didn’t believe it.”
