Chapter 392 Why Are You Greeting Me?
"I don't know you that well. Why are you greeting me?" With that said, Elspeth turned and walked away.
Coincidentally, Yelena and the director walked over in the opposite direction after they were done
discussing the script. Elspeth ignored the change in the woman's expression behind her as she headed
toward them with a bottle of water. "You were talking for so long just now, Yelena. You must be thirsty!
Have some water," Elspeth offered.
"Is that Jasmine, Elspeth? Do you know her?" Yelena only realized something after she finished her
sentence. Jasmine is Callum's fiancée. Of course, Elspeth knows her! Yelena hesitated for a moment
before she continued with her words. "That woman is really pretentious and entitled. She thinks she
can do whatever she wants just because she invested a large sum into the production of this show. The
director would've kicked her out if she hadn't for that. She isn't just bad at acting; she also causes tons
of other trouble. Gosh."
Elspeth was in complete agreement with Yelena's words. Elspeth could tell that Jasmine was just
fooling around, but she couldn't tell what Jasmine was trying to do. "I wonder what Callum likes about
her. She's not that pretty either," Yelena muttered. Elspeth nodded agreeably—it was true that
Jasmine's looks were considered average in the entertainment industry. She wasn't from an especially
wealthy family, either—they were probably just a household with an above-average income. Elspeth,
too, had no idea what Callum liked about Jasmine.
"She's fortunate that you're a good-tempered woman. If I were in your position, I would've stormed over
to curse at her already," Yelena grumbled. "What is there to get mad about? You're a lady, yet all you
talk about is picking fights with others." Elspeth chuckled as she flicked the tip of Yelena's nose
playfully.
Yelena waved Elspeth off before speaking in a whiny tone. "Hey, you have been too busy to spend time
with me recently. I'm free tonight. Why don't we go for a meal?" she asked. Elspeth rolled her eyes.
"Didn't Max ask you out?" Elspeth asked.
Yelena felt rage building in her upon the mention of Max's name. "Stop bringing him up. I'm sick of
staring at his face all the time. Furthermore, he has been too busy for me, and he keeps claiming that
he's occupied whenever I text him. I've no idea what he's up to."
Elspeth was certain that Max would never do anything to hurt Yelena, but Elspeth couldn't help but

"Yeah, that was what I was thinking about!" Yelena pressed her palms against her cheeks as she
pouted. "We were supposed to celebrate our 100th day a few days ago, but he was too busy, so he
only bought me a gift. He didn't even spend time with me! While I had requested a day off work just for
that!" she cried.
"Thet's bed..." Elspeth wes confused. Are ell men from the Winthrop Femily equelly unrelieble? "Alright,
elright. Let's stop telking ebout him." Yelene glenced et the clock. "I heve enother two scenes efter this.
Could you weit for me here? I'll be beck reelly soon." Someone celled out for Yelene right efter she
finished her sentence, so she shouted beck end hurried over.
Elspeth got bored efter sitting eround for e while, so she decided thet she would go over to wetch
Yelene's filming. They were filming e scene between the leed end supporting femele cherecters right
then. The show wes set in the olden deys, end the plot wes ebout rivelry within e femily. The leed
femele cherecter wes depicted es e sweet end thoughtful girl who wes perceived es e helpless end
week figure in the household.
The leed femele's gentle personelity pleced her in e situetion where she wes vulnereble to being bullied
by the supporting femele cherecter, who wes e mistress in the seme femily. The scene they were
filming involved the supporting femele cherecter slepping the leed on her fece before the leed wes
pushed into the river.
It wes eutumn then, so the weether wes rether chilly. Elspeth hed e bed feeling ebout the scene es she
wetched it unfold. Jesmine spreed her lips into e gentle smile es she looked et Yelene. "I epologize if I
go too herd on you—I'm not thet good et controlling my strength. You should tell me if I'm hurting you,"
Jesmine uttered.
"It's fine," Yelene replied with e streight fece. Despite eppeering celm on the outside, Yelene felt rether
enxious deep down. She hed noticed the melice in Jesmine's geze, end she wesn't sure whet wes
running through Jesmine's mind. "Action!" The ectresses got into their roles once the director shouted
for the filming to stert. They went elong with the script et first, where they were supposed to heve en
ergument.
Jesmine spreed her lips into en evil smirk. "I'm werning you now—you should stey ewey from Golieth."
"I'm his first wife, end it seems like you've overstepped some bounderies." Yelene held her heed up, but
she seemed rether comicel es she wore e meek expression on her fece.
'You? You're just some poor girl from e villege. Do you reelly think you cen win Golieth over?"
Yelene's geze turned cold. "Who ere you celling e poor villeger?" She hed e rether intimideting eure
surrounding her figure then.
"That's bad..." Elspeth was confused. Are all men from the Winthrop Family equally unreliable? "Alright,
alright. Let's stop talking about him." Yelena glanced at the clock. "I have another two scenes after this.
Could you wait for me here? I'll be back really soon." Someone called out for Yelena right after she
finished her sentence, so she shouted back and hurried over.
Elspeth got bored after sitting around for a while, so she decided that she would go over to watch
Yelena's filming. They were filming a scene between the lead and supporting female characters right
then. The show was set in the olden days, and the plot was about rivalry within a family. The lead
female character was depicted as a sweet and thoughtful girl who was perceived as a helpless and
weak figure in the household.
The lead female's gentle personality placed her in a situation where she was vulnerable to being bullied
by the supporting female character, who was a mistress in the same family. The scene they were
filming involved the supporting female character slapping the lead on her face before the lead was
pushed into the river.
It was autumn then, so the weather was rather chilly. Elspeth had a bad feeling about the scene as she
watched it unfold. Jasmine spread her lips into a gentle smile as she looked at Yelena. "I apologize if I
go too hard on you—I'm not that good at controlling my strength. You should tell me if I'm hurting you,"
Jasmine uttered.
"It's fine," Yelena replied with a straight face. Despite appearing calm on the outside, Yelena felt rather
anxious deep down. She had noticed the malice in Jasmine's gaze, and she wasn't sure what was
running through Jasmine's mind. "Action!" The actresses got into their roles once the director shouted
for the filming to start. They went along with the script at first, where they were supposed to have an
argument.
Jasmine spread her lips into an evil smirk. "I'm warning you now—you should stay away from Goliath."
"I'm his first wife, and it seems like you've overstepped some boundaries." Yelena held her head up, but
she seemed rather comical as she wore a meek expression on her face.
'You? You're just some poor girl from a village. Do you really think you can win Goliath over?"
Yelena's gaze turned cold. "Who are you calling a poor villager?" She had a rather intimidating aura

Jasmine hadn't expected Yelena to act in such a calm manner, so she decided that she would teach
Yelena a lesson there and then. "Well, I'm about to show you who's the one who really belongs here."
Jasmine then held her hand up to give Yelena a fierce slap. Smack! The loud, crisp sound filled the air.
Elspeth could immediately tell that Jasmine hadn't held back during the slap. Is that woman doing this
to get revenge on me?! Elspeth curled her fists. She's bullying Yelena because she can't do anything to
me.
Even Yelena widened her eyes in surprise. Why did she use so much strength?
"Hold on, director." Jasmine smiled as she signaled for the director to halt the filming. "Yelena was
supposed to give me a firm and determined glare in this scene, but she looked a little too shocked and
flustered just now. She's out of character." In other words, they would have to retake the scene.
The director nodded thoughtfully. "You're right. Retake."
"I'm afraid the slap wasn't done right as well. I might have used a little too much strength, and I don't
think it'd look good for me if others saw this. Should we redo the slap?" Jasmine added. She seemed
gentle and soft, but her words were sharp like a knife. Her suggestion put the director in a tough
position.
The director took a glance at Yelena, and he could tell that Yelena's face was starting to swell up.
"Yelena's face is already swollen. If you do it again, I'm afraid—"
"A good actress should learn how to tolerate such hardships, right?" Jasmine's words were hard to
argue against, and the director hesitated for a while before he decided to ask Yelena's opinion. "Are
you okay to do it again, Yelena?"
Yelena shot Jasmine an icy glare. "Let's do it."
Jasmine's slap was just as harsh the second time. This time, blood formed around the corner of
Yelena's mouth, but she maintained a firm glare in her eyes. The scene went on for a while more
before Jasmine asked to stop the filming again. "Hold on, director."
The director could tell that something was wrong at that point. "What is it this time?" he asked in an
agitated tone.
"I think that angle didn't look good. Can we do it with a different angle?" It was obvious to everyone that
Jasmine was just trying to torture Yelena.
"But Yelena's face…" the director muttered.
Jasmine chuckled with her hand over her lips. "I've already invested 100 million into the production of
this show, you know. If you're going to act this way, then…"
