“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.I-If 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 ! 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.”
“Then?”
Elspeth could tell that the woman at the front desk was probably talking about Yelena’s situation.
“Well, Mr.Damazio dumped her for a very simple reason.His first love came back.Do you know what’s even funnier? My friend looks like his first love.You get it, right? She was just a substitute.”
Summer’s voice was filled with sympathy and sorrow.
“You have no idea how beautiful my friend is.She has such a wonderful personality too.They were about to get married when his first love appeared and forced my friend out of the picture.”
“Didn’t your friend come over to try and talk to him?”
“She did, of course,” Summer said forlornly.
“She was so in love with him.Still, what was the point? Mr.Damazio refused to meet her.When she first got the news, she came to the law firm and waited for two days, but he stayed away, and flat out refused to see her.”
Elspeth knew that if she kept listening to the story, she would explode at any moment.
“So, can you tell me what’s happening now?”
Summer could tell Elspeth was on the verge of exploding and quickly summarized the situation.
“Mr.Damazio is getting engaged to his first love.I think they’re getting married soon.”
“What did he say when you called him earlier?”
Since Summer had already shared so much, she didn’t try to hide this information from Elspeth either.
“He claimed he was at home with his fiancee, so he is unavailable.”
“Alright.Thank you.What’s your name?”
Summer quickly waved her hand in response.
“No! It’s fine.I’m risking my job by sharing this information with you discreetly.If Mr.Damazio finds out about this, he will fire me.”
After hearing this, Elspeth calmly took a business card from her bag and handed it to her.
“Tell me your name.I’ll thank you properly for this.”
Summer glanced at the business card and concluded that the woman was likely a manager, so she smiled and said, “It’s alright.You don’t need to do anything.Still…If you insist, thank you.My name is Summer Sheridan.”
Then, as she lowered her head and read the business card carefully, her eyes widened.
The CEO of Azure Corporation? When she looked up again, the woman was gone.
“Did I just establish a connection with the CEO of Azure Corporation? Oh, my God! A woman as beautiful as her is also the type to be caught up in romantic troubles.”
After that, she shook her head and sighed.
“How sad.”
On the other hand, Elspeth headed straight for Hank’s place.
When she arrived, she noticed a pink Ferrari parked outside, which appeared to be a compact and adorable vehicle.
It’s probably that woman’s car! Then, she sat in her car to collect her thoughts and remind herself to keep a level head.
After that, she exited the vehicle, walked to Hank’s house, and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
Following that, Hank’s nanny cautiously opened the door.Her expression froze when she saw Elspeth.She recognized Elspeth and was surprised to see her show up here.
“Why are you here, Miss Lynwood?”
After saying that, the nanny blocked the door and didn’t want to let Elspeth in.
However, the awkward look on her face was all Elspeth needed for confirmation.
“I’m here to see Mr.Damazio,” she said coolly, but her gaze was fiery.
“Mr.Damazio went out.He’s not at home.”
Elspeth heard the uneasiness in the nanny’s voice.
Since she was only a nanny, Elspeth didn’t want to make life difficult for her.So, she said, “I know he’s home.Please tell him I’m here.”
Following that, she stood at the door and refused to leave.
Ultimately, the nanny had no choice but to nod and walk back into the house.
After that, Elspeth seized this chance to enter the house.
Since Hank’s behavior is so reprehensible, I no longer see any reason to be courteous to him.
Suddenly, her lips curved into a mocking smile when she heard the laughter and happy conversation coming from the living room.
“I’m sorry to disturb you.”
After hearing that, Hank appeared to have anticipated this, as his expression remained unchanged.
