When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 561 Your Ugliness Disgusts Me

Yozan politely asked, "May I know how to address you, Miss?"

Despite being aware of Elspeth's identity from the widespread news coverage, Yozan politely asked for

her name. "Elspeth Lynwood," Elspeth responded with a smile, revealing her sparkling eyes and pearly

white teeth.

"I'm Yozan Harley." After they both exchanged pleasantries, Yelena was worried about Elspeth's health

and quickly had someone take them to change clothes. Their rooms happened to be located opposite

each other, and as Elspeth was about to enter her room, she gave Yozan a quick look with an

indescribable chill in her eyes.

After changing clothes and coming out, Yozan was waiting for her by the door. He stood with one hand

in his pocket while smoothly pulling out a cigarette with the other. The long and evenly shaped cigarette

looked even more elegant between his slender fingers. "May I smoke?" he asked.

"I think you're not just here for that, Mr. Harley."

Yozan looked at her and put the cigarette back in his pocket, saying seriously, "I believe you're a smart

person and should know the purpose of me waiting here, Miss Lynwood."

"I don't know, Mr. Harley. You'll have to tell me." She didn't like playing guessing games with people, but

this man seemed to want to lead her on, and it was getting on her nerves.

"Miss Lynwood, you're good at scheming. How could you not understand my intentions?" Yozan

brought up the matter of Arthur. However, Elspeth didn't want to talk too much about it with him.

With a slight frown, her face immediately turned frosty. "Mr. Harley, if you can't speak properly, there's

nothing more for us to talk about." She smiled and was about to turn around, but he stopped her.

"Miss Lynwood, in that case, I won't beat around the bush any longer."

Yozan took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. His gaze was fixed on her face as he said,

"Haven't you ever doubted your identity, Miss Lynwood?"

Although he had never heard that he had any sisters or half-sisters, nor had he heard of any illegitimate

children outside of his father's marriage, he had a sense of familiarity when he first saw Elspeth. His

intuition had never been wrong.

Elspeth shrugged, sounding casual as she said, "Of course, I've doubted it before. But so far, I don't

have any evidence."

She was going to meet him anyway, so it was fine to say something.

"If you have the time, let's do a DNA test together," Yozan said lightly. "There may be a surprise."

Elspeth hadn't had a chance to respond when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the

corridor. Then, she was suddenly embraced in a tight hug. The familiar smell rushed into her nose, and

Callum spoke quickly, "Why were you so reckless? How can you save anyone you see drowning,

seeing as your body isn't good, to begin with? What if something happens?"

Callum was worried about her. He checked her up and down quickly, and seeing that there was nothing

wrong with her, he let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the rumors are false. Although you two have divorced, your relationship is still as good

as ever," Yozan remarked casually.

Elspeth suddenly blushed, but she couldn't explain it.

"Mr. Harley, nice to meet you." Callum nodded at him, but he had no intention of shaking hands.

The man in front of him was clearly focused on Elspeth, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Mr. Winthrop, please don't misunderstand. I have no romantic interest in your wife, but I do have a

request," Yozan said, looking deeply into Elspeth's eyes.

"Miss Lynwood, I hope you can give me an answer by tomorrow at 3.00PM." With that, he turned and

walked away.

Callum looked at Yozan's departing figure and then turned to Elspeth, puzzled. "How do you know this

person?" he asked, knowing that Yozan was not someone to be taken lightly. Yozan had just returned

to the country not long ago, so how did they know each other?

Elspeth shook her head. "I don't know him well. I just met him today, but there is actually something

that I suspect."

"What is it?"

"I suspect that my true identity is related to him."

With a deep and contemplative gaze, Elspeth watched Yozan leave with a carefree demeanor.

…

Although Cecelia's fall into the water was a sensational incident, the engagement ceremony was

relatively uneventful. However, during Yelena's vows, a sudden disturbance erupted. While Yelena was

speaking, a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd caught her off guard, and her expression

immediately soured. "Excuse me, miss, do you have something to say?" Yelena's fiery temperament

was already well-known, and the disrespect shown to her at her own engagement ceremony only

stoked her anger.

"Not really." The girl brushed her fingers through her hair and twisted her body, thinking herself quite

charming as all eyes turned to her. "I'm just curious. How can someone from such a humble

background marry into the illustrious Damazio Family? It's like casting pearls before swine, right?"

After speaking, she shook her glass with a hint of regret.

"It's such a shame that someone has to forcefully take away someone else's marriage yet remain

oblivious to it. It's truly ridiculous," she remarked.

Elspeth suspected that the girl was instigated by someone else to say such words. As she looked at

the girl next to the speaker, who exuded a more composed aura, she realized that this other girl was

likely interested in Hank and had used her friend as a pawn.

After hearing those remarks, the composed girl appeared slightly embarrassed, and she gently pulled

the arm of the girl who made the snide comment, advising her, "This is someone else's engagement

ceremony, so you really shouldn't say things like that. It could upset them."

"Rosita, if I care about their emotions, who will care about yours? I thought it was all planned out. You

should have been the true daughter-in-law of the Damazio Family…"

As soon as this was said, it immediately caused a huge uproar. Rosita Foley's face immediately turned

pale, as if she had really been wronged.

"I'm not… Okay, you don't have to say anything more."

In the next moment, it appeared as if she would be mortified and embarrassed beyond repair. The

other girl confidently held Rosita's hand, unaware she had fallen into a trap. "I know you're sensitive

and hesitant to speak up. Don't worry. As we're good friends, I'll definitely help you stand up for

yourself."

She was Emmerlyn Godith, the heiress of the Godith Family, and even Hank's father had to respect her

family. So, Hank had to give an explanation to her friend, no matter what.

"But—"

"Alright, no more 'buts.' I've already said it. Just stay here and relax, and I'll take care of everything for

you."

Emmerlyn confidently walked to the center of the stage in her high heels, raising her chin arrogantly

and demanding, "Excuse me, Miss Sullivan. Shouldn't you apologize for stealing someone else's

husband?"

Yelena was filled with anger, but as it was her engagement ceremony, and she was the host, she

couldn't easily lose her temper. Suddenly, there was a round of applause behind her.

Emmerlyn was furious and turned her head to see who had spoiled the situation.

Elspeth came into view with her nose covered and her eyes filled with disgust and mockery. "Miss

Godith, if that's the case, your unattractive face suddenly appearing in front of me is actually offensive

to me. Please apologize to me."
