Chapter 526 Meeting Hank

Seeing as he was so distant, Elspeth had the urge to tease him. "I see Yelena was right. You're actually a heartless

man." Elspeth clicked her tongue and sighed.

"I trust you have more important things to say, Mrs. Winthrop. Cut to the chase, please." Hank took a seat on the

other couch and crossed his legs elegantly.

"Very well. I shall cut to the chase then. About your marriage with the Yhorman girl… Is that true?" She had looked

into Cecelia. She was the only daughter of the Yhorman Family, and they spoiled her. The family was also powerful

politicians. Cecelia was bred to be a politician as well, and her background was perfect. No wonder Hank's family

likes her, but what does Hank want?

Hank looked at her calmly. He didn't answer that question straight. "Whatever happens, happens."

Elspeth's face fell. "Don't try to use semantics, Mr. Damazio." Yelena might fall for it, but I won't.

Hank picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip, but he didn't explain. "I've said what I should. I can't say anything

more, I'm afraid."

Very well. If he wants to keep a secret, then so be it. Elspeth took her bag and stood up and pretended that she was

leaving. "Very well. If that's the case, I shall personally ask Ms. Yhorman about it."

Hank stiffened up a little. "Don't disturb her."

Even though she knew Hank was no heartbreaker, she mocked, "My, aren't you worried? And I haven't said

anything yet. I find you rather fickle, Mr. Damazio. It's only been a few days since your breakup."

Hank was unfazed. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, he only said, "Stay out of this, Mrs. Winthrop. I

know what I'm doing."

"Of course, but just one question."

"Speak." Hank knew what she was going to ask.

"Whatever you're doing, will it hurt Yelena?"

Without hesitation, Hank answered, "No."

"Romantically speaking?" Elspeth rebutted.

"No promises." Not like I can help that Yelena's feeling down.

Elspeth wanted to fly into a rage again. What's wrong with me? It's like I have mood swings. PMS, I guess. Wait a

minute, but my period has been late for almost a month.

"Mrs. Winthrop." Hank broke her train of thought. "Don't worry. What I'm doing won't really hurt Yelena."

"Too late," said Elspeth coolly. "She's hurt real bad and is going to forget about you now." She looked at him closely

and noticed him clenching his fists. I knew it. He still cares about her. It's all a lie.

"You seem upset. But this is what you wanted, isn't it?" Elspeth smiled, then she brushed her finger across her

phone's screen. "I heard everything from Yelena. She cried her eyes out. She's heartbroken, but I think you'd be

happy to know that. After all, nobody's going to bug you anymore." Elspeth spoke of Yelena's heartbreak so that it

would make Hank feel guiltier.

Hank was still smiling, but something stirred in his heart. Now he could see that things were veering out of control.

"Very well. Since you have a plan, I'll leave you to it. I'm not here to defend her, but to see how you'll deal with the

matter. It seems like you don't care about her anymore. In that case, I shall tell her to give up as well."

Elspeth made it sound like she was helping him, but Hank wasn't happy in the slightest. Elspeth was going to leave,

or so she pretended. Three, two, one.

"Of course, but just one question."

"Speak." Hank knew what she was going to ask.

"A minute, Mrs. Winthrop."

Bingo. Elspeth turned around and smiled at him. "What is it, Mr. Damazio? Anything else?"

"Tell Yelena it's not what she thinks."

Elspeth pretended to not get it. She asked, "What do you mean 'it's not what she thinks'? What do you mean? Spit it

out."

Hank looked annoyed. "Just tell her that, please."

Elspeth shrugged. "Why don't you tell her yourself?"

Hank's face fell. "There are some things I can't do right now."

"Then tell her when you can." Elspeth smiled and left the firm. On her way back, she started wondering why her

period was late. I should get checked just in case.

She went into the pharmacy and was about to get a test kit, but then she saw someone familiar. Jethro? Elspeth

was shocked to see him, and she was about to pretend he wasn't there.

However, Jethro had seen her. "Fancy seeing you here, Elspeth." He held up a pack of medicine and slowly

approached her. When he got closer, he leaned forward deliberately, causing Elspeth to take a few steps back.

"Why are you so scared? I won't eat you." He eyed her up and down. "Why are you here? Sick?"

Elspeth shook her head. "Nothing." She took her phone out and pretended to be busy. "I should go now."

Jethro didn't press any further. Since she refused to speak with him, he wouldn't insist. "See you around."

"Wait. I have something to ask you." Elspeth regretted it the moment she said that.
