Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 624 Have the Meeting Over Video Conference

While I was in a vegetative state in a hospital abroad, I thought I would die. Yet, I somehow managed

to recover by some miraculous stroke of luck. Isn't that a message from on high telling me to keep

fighting until I get my revenge? After alt, those who have harmed me have not yet paid the price for

their actions, right?

Even three days later, Elspeth couldn't get Yena's words out of her head. After their conversation came

to an unsatisfactory conclusion, she knew she couldn't do anything to Yena then, so she had no choice

but to leave Alphascape. However, she etched Yena's words into her mind and felt that Yena would do

something even more heinous.

In the meantime, Elspeth received an unexpected call during her afternoon meeting. As it was from

Yelena, she accepted the call after excusing herself.

Since Yelena was aware of Elspeth's daily schedule, something must have happened for her to disrupt

Elspeth during working hours.

When Elspeth answered the call, she heard Yelena crying through the phone. "Elspeth, I see no point

in living anymore."

However, Elspeth had never seen her break down like this before. Hence, she tensed up and chided

softly, "What are you saying?! What happened?"

"Hank is getting engaged to someone else." After saying that,

Yelena lowered her voice. "He also told me that he doesn't care who I marry and that I should never

bother him again."

Why would he say such a thing? Elspeth couldn't believe it, but Yelena was upset, so she had to help

Yelena in coping with the situation. "Do you know who he's getting engaged to?"

"I do," Yelena answered between her sniffling. "It's his first love."

His first love? Elspeth’s face immediately turned pale as she recalled that she neglected to delve

further into his past during her investigation of Hank. Who knew my oversight would turn out to be so

catastrophic? The first order of business is to track him down and grill him on the matter. Currently,

Yelena is abroad and experiencing a mental breakdown. I can't bring her to find and confront him. At

that thought, she offered a few more words of comfort before hanging up the phone.

On the other hand, her assistant noticed Elspeth was off the phone and asked, "Can we continue the

meeting now, Miss Lynwood?"

"Adjourn the meeting for now. We'll continue when I get back," Elspeth instructed before she turned

around. However, she changed her mind and said, "Get Harper to take over the meeting using my

computer."

"But... Mr. Summerfield is abroad right now," the assistant reminded her.

"Get him to have the meeting over video conference."

After hearing that, the assistant looked even more conflicted now. "But..."

"No more buts. Sort it out at once." After saying that, Elspeth left the office.

Previously, she believed Yelena took a trip abroad to take her mind off work-related issues, but she did

not realize it was due to Hank. If he was about to get engaged, it meant he had been going behind

Yelena's back for a while.

Meanwhile, Elspeth was driving above the speed limit, and many vehicles flashed headlights to warn

her. Since she was a skilled driver, arriving at Hank's law firm took her less than ten minutes.

At that time, Summer had dozed off at the front desk when she was startled awake by someone

rushing in. "What are you doing?" She didn't recognize Elspeth, but she could tell the woman in front of

her was not to be trifled with.

"I'm here to look for your lawyer."

"M-Mr. Damazio left early this morning," Summer informed with a slight stutter. "He's not back yet. Why

don't you wait a while for him?"

"Where did he go?"

Summer saw the fury in Elspeth's eyes and conjured up a guess. Is she someone that Mr. Damazio

had a thing with? Would a woman like her be interested in him? "I think he left fora business meeting,

but he should be back in about half an hour."

"Fine," Elspeth said with a smile. "I'll stay here and wait for him."

The moment Elspeth smiled, Summer found her appearance even more alarming. "Can you tell me

why you want to see him? I can help you make the arrangements first." She was careful not to offend

Elspeth because she felt Elspeth was not any ordinary woman, so she spoke respectfully.

"It's fine. Just arrange a time for me. My business with him isn't something that can be shared in

public."

Elspeth's voice was pleasant, but Summer detected a hint of murderous rage in her words. Then,

Summer gulped and forced out a smile. "All right. Please wait here. I'll come and get you when he

returns."

Therefore, Elspeth waited around the law office for an hour, but Hank never showed up. "Didn't you say

he would return in half an hour? Why isn't he back yet?"

After hearing that, Summer's eyes were a little fidgety. "Maybe he still has some other matters to attend

to. Please wait a little longer. He should be coming back soon, l-lf you're in a rush, perhaps you can

come back another time instead?"

"Please tell me the truth. What is going on?" Elspeth saw through Summer's lies when she avoided her

eyes. Hank is avoiding me! When Summer informs him that someone is waiting for him, he must have

deduced that I am coming to see him. He has already made his stance clear by trying to avoid me.

Nonetheless, I will not give up so easily. At that thought, she stood up and said with a faint smile,

"Please relay my message to him that if he does not wish to meet me, I will have no choice but to go to

his house instead."

Summer quickly nodded in response. She didn't expect Elspeth to be quick-witted enough to pick up on

the hint so fast. With this in mind, she offered some words of reassurance. "Miss, I don’t know your

name or who you are, but I mean well, and I have something to tell you. Mr. Damazio has a fiancee

now. I don’t believe he would hide from you if it were a work-related matter, so I assume he's hiding

because it relates to his private affairs. You should not seek him out if he does not wish to see you. His

background is quite influential. Also, he even toyed with my friend's feelings, but I couldn't say anything

to him—" After that, she sighed sorrowfully.

Suddenly, those words caught Elspeth's attention. "Who's your friend? Had she been tricked into

getting into a relationship with him too?"

Summer was even more convinced that Hank had deceived the woman standing before her after

hearing that. Hence, she began to tell the story. "That's right. My friend is an extremely gorgeous

woman. She's as beautiful as a movie star. She was Mr. Damazio's girlfriend, but he dumped her for no

apparent reason."
