Chapter 160
“I see you have it hard, Miss Weiss,” mocked Elspeth.
Jordan’s face turned sour upon hearing that, but she couldn’t fly into a rage, not when Frank was around. If he
pulled another fast one, she would be done for. “If it’s fine with you, Miss Lynwood, m-may I go now?”
Any further and the prank will lose its meaning. Elspeth nodded, permitting Jordan to leave.
Seeing no sign of anger on Elspeth’s face, Frank decided to let Jordan off the hook as well. “Leave. Next time you
see my sister, stay out of sight.”
Jordan wanted to scream, but it was not the time. She forced a smile, gave them a nod, and left.
Once she was gone, Elspeth finally burst into laughter.
At the sight of her laughing so merrily, Frank couldn’t help but teased, “Look at you. Laughing at her when she’s
practically broke. Have a heart, would you?”
The comment was shrugged off, and she looked at him. “I can say the same to you, Mr. Scammer. You came up
with that idea.”
He rolled his eyes at her remark. “I did it for you. Would you be fine with it if she had left without paying the price
after she yelled at you?”
Elspeth froze for a moment before letting out a chuckle. “Someone’s concerned about me, huh?”
“I am not concerned about you. It’s just that you’re part of us, and this is my job.”
Someone’s dishonest. However, she didn’t argue further. “I got a dress for free. Sweet! Now, let’s go home.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIs she only buying a single dress? “Aren’t you going to get anything else?”
“No. Let’s go home.”
Just then, Frank was reminded of something. “Grandpa wanted me to lead you into Blaydal’s upper society. Why
don’t you come with me to a wine tasting tonight?”
She wasn’t interested in that sort of event. “Not interested.”
“I just helped you out. You owe me a favor, and now’s the time to pay up.”
Elspeth shot him a glare. “That’s not how you use favors.” Regardless, I do owe him one.
“I need a partner anyway. Just come with me.” He then looked at her and complained, “Wait, you don’t have any
makeup on? Gods.” I know she’s prettier than most women, even without makeup on, but at least doll up a little.
“Are there any makeup rooms here?”
The retail assistant quickly approached her. “We have one here, Miss Lynwood. And fitting rooms, too. You can try
out the dress you just got. I’m sure you’ll shine the brightest during the wine tasting.”
The retail assistant is a smart one. Elspeth nodded while smiling. “Thank you.”
She then went to put some makeup on, leaving Frank alone outside. Out of boredom, he scrolled through his phone,
but nothing good came up on his feed.
“Frank!” a silvery voice called out to him from behind.
He turned around and saw a woman in white.
“Fancy seeing you here, Frank.”
Frank wondered why the girl was calling out to him. He stared at her and thought she looked familiar, but he
couldn’t recall where he had seen her before. “And you are?”
Okay, that’s awkward. The woman introduced herself, “I’m Tiffany. Tiffany McFarlene. Don’t you remember me,
Frank? We met at the bar.”
Oh… Um, still not too sure who she is, but okay. Frank nodded in acknowledgment. “I see. What do you want?” he
said curtly. He was never nice to those whom he wasn’t close with.
“Well…” What’s wrong with him? I’m one of the hottest women in Blaydal, but he seems like he’s not even
interested in me at all.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Good day, Miss McFarlene.” Elspeth should be coming out by now.
“I…” Tiffany gritted her teeth and mustered her courage to ask, “I’d like you to be my partner for the wine tasting
tonight.” If it weren’t for Jordan’s text, she wouldn’t know Frank was right here in this mall. Jordan wanted her to get
back at some woman who got on her nerves, but Tiffany couldn’t care less. She just wanted to be Frank’s woman.
“Sorry, but I already have a partner.”
She was stunned upon hearing that. What? Who dares to take him away from me?! Wait, I don’t remember him
asking anyone in our circle. They would’ve posted it all over social media if he did. Just when she was about to ask
who his partner was, Elspeth came out of the fitting room. The dress fitted her perfectly, and she had a powerful
glow-up with the makeup. Everything around her seemed to lose its luster in her presence. Even Tiffany was
dumbstruck for a moment.
“There’s my partner. Sorry, Miss Tiffany.” Good. I expected no less from my sister.
“You shouldn’t go out with someone like her. Look at her, dressed up like a wh*re. I bet she’s not clean.” Tiffany was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfuming with envy. I never knew there was someone this hot in Blaydal. How is it possible for someone to be this
gorgeous?
“If I’m a whore, then what does that make you? You came all the way to beg Frank for a chance to be your partner.
I remember there’s a name that people call for someone like you. An easy woman, perhaps?”
Elspeth wouldn’t let anyone talk down to her, especially not some stranger. Since Tiffany wasn’t even her business
partner, Elspeth didn’t see a need to hold back. Besides, the Jonesons would back her up if anything were to
happen. She could fight back against those who insulted her however she pleased without worrying about
consequences.
“How dare you! I’ve known Frank for years. You’re just his new toy! Nothing more, nothing less. You don’t get to talk
to me like that.”
Elspeth almost burst into laughter. Why do women in Blaydal think they’re all hotshots, anyway? They’re simply
ridiculous. “I didn’t see him coming to your defense, my longtime friend. If I’m his new toy, then you’re just an
abandoned doll used by many and ignored by the one you love.”
Did she just call me a slut? Tiffany lost the argument, and all she could do was stomp her foot in fury. “Just you wait!
I’m not letting this slide!” Then, she turned to Frank, putting on a sad look. “Look at her, Frank. I didn’t even do
anything to her, and she called me a slut.”
Wait, what? But I heard you calling her a whore. Do you think I’m stupid? “She’s my sister, lady. So, shut up.”
I’m sorry, but what? On the very next second, Tiffany put on an ingratiating smile. “Oh, so you’re his sister, huh?
I’m very sorry. I thought you were his—”
Just cut the crap already, lady. Elspeth harrumphed. “Okay, okay. Let me guess your next line: ‘I’m sorry, please
forgive me. It’s a misunderstanding. I can apologize.'”
