Chapter 612 It Really Is Emma
She merely wanted to dismay Elspeth and let her know that it was a mistake to mess with her. Taking
the document back, Yena directly tore it in half. "In that case, I don't see a need for our cooperation."
Seeing that, Elspeth smiled. "If that's your decision, I believe you'll regret it."
Yena leaned back, looking somewhat at ease. "Well, enlighten me."
With that, Elspeth elaborated, "Without Azure, Alphascape Group's development in the field of chip
production can only reach this far."
Yena could hardly hold back her laughter when she heard Elspeth's statement. "It's easy for you to say
that. I admit that Azure is powerful, but it's not to the point that Alphascape Group's development will
get hindered without it."
Elspeth sure is an overconfident woman, isn't she?
"You will find out if my words are nonsense when the time comes." Elspeth immediately stood up. "After
all, Alphascape isn't the only company in the field of chip production."
Only then did Yena turn off the smile on her face. "Of course, I know that. I wanted to point out that you
can't find a second partner as promising as us to date, that's all." She attempted to instill panic in
Elspeth.
Without warning, Elspeth turned her head and looked at Yena; not an ounce of fright could be seen on
her face. "Look at me. Do you see any sign of fear?"
Yena straight off felt exasperated. She hated that Elspeth always seemed to have the game in her
hands. In her eyes, it was as though Elspeth could achieve victory even if she stood there and did
nothing. "Elspeth, don't celebrate too early, and don't get complacent either. After all, overconfidence
isn't a virtue."
Upon hearing that, Elspeth chuckled. "Don't worry. You couldn't do anything to me two years ago, and
that part still stands today."
At once, Yena widened her eyes. "You!"
"By the way, which name do you prefer? Should I call you Yena? Or… Emma?"
Despite her fingers gripping the armchair tightly, Yena's facial expression remained calm. "What are
you blabbering about? I told you last time. I'm not Emma."
Elspeth shrugged at her answer. "I think you should know very well whether you're Emma or not.
Besides, I'm not in a hurry to expose you. After all, it's meaningless for me to do so. Anyway, since you
refuse to cooperate with us, let's just cancel it." After that, she turned around and left without delay.
Just when she arrived at the door, Yena, who was behind her, suddenly yelled, "Elspeth!"
She turned her head, looked at her, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"I know you think I'm inferior and not as brilliant as you." Yena's voice gradually sounded anxious as
she could no longer maintain her composure from earlier. "But I came back this time for the sake of
letting you know that there's bound to be a situation in which I can defeat you. Do you know how much
I've suffered abroad? Arthur wanted to unplug all my medical equipment while I was in a coma.
Fortunately, the nurse who looked after me at that time was a friend of mine. That was the only way I
managed to get spared! After gaining consciousness, the first thing I did was to make a thorough
investigation, and only then did I realize that Arthur was the culprit. He fancied me so much, and we
were even together for such a long time, yet how could he do that to me? It must've been you who
instructed him to do it. You must've infatuated him with your charm. That was why he did that to me!"
"I have nothing to do with this matter." Elspeth involuntarily let out a deep sigh. "Emma, I never thought
of you being inferior to me. I never thought of comparing myself with you either."
"Bullsh*t! Wasn't it because you wanted to let me know that I was a nobody in your eyes that you went
out of your way to suppress me before?"
For some reason, Yena constantly believed that Elspeth was a hypocrite, which made her wonder why
Callum would fall in love with such a hypocritical woman.
"I never suppressed you. It was you who refused to set yourself free." Elspeth took a deep breath
before she continued, "Okay. Stop making such silly statements. I came here today to discuss our
company's cooperation and not to listen to your complaints." After saying those words to Yena, she left
trippingly.
Yena was so enraged that she nearly chipped her teeth as she stared at Elspeth's unfazed back
silhouette. My purpose for undergoing a minor cosmetic surgery while I was abroad was to make
myself look alike yet different from Emma. I am no longer the Emma that I was before, and the reason I
came back this time is to simply let Elspeth know I will not allow myself to get trampled by her like
before!
…
Elspeth planned to return to the Joneson Residence in Blaydal this weekend to discuss some matters.
She figured it was time for her to ask the Jonesons to intervene with some matters.
Before leaving, she asked Helia if she was still willing to return to the Joneson Residence with her now.
As of recently, she looked pretty well as she was almost done nursing her body in the hospital.
Apart from Welson, who would come over and annoy her time and again, Helia's life was considerably
enjoyable.
Initially, Elspeth thought her mom would be traumatized by the idea of returning to the Joneson
Residence after what she went through. To her surprise, she agreed without even the slightest
resistance.
"Elsie, years had passed since the incident took place. I have long gotten over it." Helia was more
thoughtful than Elspeth. "Besides, it's impossible for me not to feel happy when life blessed me with
such a wonderful daughter."
A gentle smile surfaced on Elspeth's face when she heard the words that escaped Helia's lips. "In that
case, let's return together."
"Sure, sure. That way, I can stay away from a certain someone too. Welson has been visiting so
frequently that it frustrates me."
The thought of him troubled Helia's mind. No matter how much I try, I just can't figure out why this man,
who merely had an accidental one-night stand with me, keeps holding onto me. Is it because we have
a daughter together? If so, why does he keep pestering me instead of seeking Elspeth?
She could not figure it out but did not want to see Welson's awkward-smiling face. For that reason, she
felt that following Elspeth back to the Joneson Residence was a good choice.
A cold sweat emitted on Elspeth's forehead as she asked, "Does he keep looking for you these days?"
"Yes. I wasn't even that close to him before. Who knows what's wrong with his mind!"
A different thought came across Elspeth's mind out of the blue. "Could the two of you know each other
before?" Otherwise, no other possibilities can explain why Welson keeps pestering Mom.
"That's impossible. I can guarantee that I've never encountered him before that night."
While living in the Joneson Residence in the past, Helia was a reclusive lady who rarely got in touch
with the outside world, let alone getting along with an unfamiliar man. She did not have a friend of the
opposite gender nor a confidant in these years.
For that reason, Elspeth knew what Helia said was true. If Mom said she didn't know Welson, it must
be because she had confirmed he didn't exist in her memory.
"Maybe Welson fell in love with you at first sight?"
Considering she had always maintained a more decent character, Helia could not help but roll her eyes
when she heard what Elspeth said. "He's surrounded by tons of beautiful women. Do you think he
would fall for me at first sight?"
