Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 148

A satisfied smirk appeared on Elspeth’s face when she saw that the netizens’ viewpoints had changed, and

everyone was now actively seeking the truth.

At this point, Callum, who was beside her, ruffled her hair and said, “It has been hard on you to think of all these

ways.”

“Not at all. You were the one who managed to track down Max’s video, right?”

Callum slowly raised the corners of his mouth in response. “What a smart woman. Indeed, the woman I like.”

“Where is Max, though? Shouldn’t he show up and clarify things now?”

“He was drugged in a room at Luna Bar. Was unconscious when I found him and has not woken up yet.”

Arthur! Elspeth did not even need to put her mind to it to know that Arthur was involved. In fact, she was certain it

was him.

“It will be alright. Max will be awake in no time. What’s important now is the netizens’ opinions.”

They then scrolled through their Twitter feeds and found that the news about Max and Yelena had been greatly

reduced and was drowned by other revelations.

The Alphascape Group was probably afraid that the situation would escalate and quickly used other scandals to

distract the public from it.

The funny thing, though, was that Alaina was the chosen scapegoat to distract the public. She indeed got her

deserved bad end.

“This matter has finally been resolved. If Arthur wants to do something more, he can’t get away safely too. I believe

he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”

Hearing that, Yelena heaved a long breath of relief. She then looked at Elspeth with a grateful expression, saying,

“Thank you for helping me, Elspeth. Without all of you, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

“Don’t worry. This issue started because of us. You are framed because of your close relationship with us.

Remember to be more careful next time.”

Noticing that Yelena was the only one handling the matter all this while, Elspeth asked, “Where’s your manager?

Didn’t she need to take care of certain public relations matters for you?”

Yelena, on the other hand, wasn’t bothered by this. “Whenever things happen, she would simply wash her hands

off, leaving me to deal with everything. I’m used to it now.”

“How can she call herself a manager then? Do you want to consider terminating your contract? I can introduce you

to somewhere new,” Elspeth said as she narrowed her eyes and smiled cunningly. “When will your current contract

end?”

Yelena rubbed her chin and began to recall. “From what I remember, the contract is only for 3 years. So, it should

be over after next month.”

“That’s great. Go to Luminous. I can guarantee that you will become the top celebrity, acting only in the best films.”

Luminous?

“Didn’t you previously introduce Timothy there? Would it be too much trouble…”

Before Yelena could finish her sentence, Elspeth pinched her smooth face and interrupted, “Of course not. Not only

that, I will ask Timothy to be your manager personally.”

“Aww, thank you!”

Yelena was elated. She had long wanted to leave her current entertainment company. Her current company always

wanted her to make use of her fair and pure appearance, but she also wanted to participate in high-caliber films

rather than just commercial advertisements and magazine photo assignments.

“That’s a deal then. It seems that the crowd outside has dissipated. We shall leave now.”

Elspeth then stood up and said goodbye to Yelena.

After Elspeth left, Yelena looked at Finn and felt disappointed. She sighed and questioned, “Finn, I truly don’t

understand why you did it. If you’re in financial difficulties, you can just ask me for money. Why did you need to

borrow money from the outsiders?”

450 thousand, to the Sullivan Family, was merely a pittance.

Finn felt guilty to even look at her, and his face flushed. “How could I possibly ask you for money? No man would

ask for money from the person… he…”

“The person he likes?”

Yelena was particularly sensitive and immediately made out what Finn was too shy to say.

A bold thought arose in Yelena’s mind. “Finn, don’t tell me that… You are my cousin!”

Seeing that Yelena was shocked, Finn gritted his teeth and said, “I am not your cousin by blood. Your real cousin

died at birth. I am just an adopted child whom my father adopted from the social welfare department. I’ve known

this since a long time ago.”

“But no matter what, we are cousins. Legally, we are related.”

“Why can’t you like me? Is it because I am your cousin legally? That’s not what I want! In fact, the main reason I

worked with the Alphascape Group wasn’t because of money; I wanted to force you out of the entertainment

industry! You are now a famous celebrity well-liked by many; even Max has ulterior motives for you. I know I am not

good enough for you, but if you leave the entertainment industry, I will have a chance. Yelena, I genuinely like

you…”

As he spoke, Finn’s expression grew increasingly distorted. Noticing that, Yelena knew he might get dangerous and

hurriedly dialed a shortcut number on her phone.

“You can only be mine, Yelena. I’ve taken care of you since you were small, so you are mine!”

Then, he forced himself onto Yelena and started ripping her clothing off.

“You are an adult now, Yelena. I can make you mine now…”

Finn was a thug for a long time and got into fights frequently. Hence, he had a great force, immobilizing Yelena

completely. She could only bite fiercely at his wrist, leaving a neat row of teeth marks.

“Ouch!”

He quickly let go of his hand out of pain. Yelena did not let such an opportunity pass as she stepped hard on his feet

and sprinted outdoors.

Finn immediately chased her from behind. Just as he was about to grab her wrist, a leg protruded out of thin air and

kicked him in the chest, sending him flying off to the side.

Though her eyes were narrowed in terror, Yelena could still see the stern expression of the person who appeared

and could no longer hold back her tears.

“Max, I am scared…”

She was, after all, a young girl who had just reached the age of majority. The only thing she could do in such a

situation was to feel horrified and scared.

“Don’t be scared; I am here now.”

Max gently ruffled her hair before moving his gaze to Finn, who was writhing in agony on the ground. “You are such

a beast!” Max yelled.

He had heard everything clearly through the phone earlier. This thug has a thing for Yelena all along! Even tried to

force himself on her when he realized he couldn’t win her heart. Such a shameless b*stard!

“I am a beast, a b*stard, but I am at least better than you, a coward who doesn’t dare to face your feelings for

Yelena!”

“That’s none of your business,” Max said as he carried Yelena in his arms and left the Sullivan Residence. Finn, who

was left behind, stared coldly at Max from behind while secretly planning a more sinister plan in his heart.

Meanwhile, when Elspeth and Callum returned to the company, the position of the director of the Design

Department was vacant. Callum then decided to adopt a new plan to allow the most qualified newcomer to fill the

position so that the Winthrop Group could have new blood.

Both of them agreed to such a strategy and began interviewing newcomers on the day itself.

However, when they came to the last candidate, Callum’s expression became unnatural.
