“Can I hug you? Just one hug. I’ll go back after the hug,” he said.
Naturally, there was no way she would hug a man who disgusted her. She chuckled and shook her head. “This is Chars. We’re not that open-minded yet.”
The polite look on his face swiftly disappeared into thin air and was replaced by a savage look.
“I’ve been polite enough. I only want a hug. Why can’t you let me have it?” he spat out.
“Who do you think you are? What does it matter if I want to hug you?”
Vile and revolting words streamed out of his mouth.
Elspeth merely found his cursing hilarious, however. She glanced at the nearby security guard and called out with a smile, “Someone please escort him out.”
“What right do you have to kick me out? I paid to be here?”
The man proudly held up the book in his hands.
Elspeth furrowed her brows in dismay. “Give him ten.”
The security guard beside her worked under her, hence he hurriedly did as told.
After a note worth ten was tossed at him, the man lost his mind for a moment.
“You can’t do this to me!”
Elspeth no longer wanted to hear that man babbling beside her ears. Moreover, they were at a fan sign event. Many people were watching them, and it was embarrassing!
“Drag him out this instance.”
Just like that, the man was thrown out in the midst of chaos.
After the turmoil ended, Elspeth nodded with a smile at the crowd. “Please don’t mind what just happened. That person might’ve escaped from a mental hospital, but don’t worry, I’ll send him back.”
Those who heard Elspeth’s statement felt sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
If he was really sent to a mental hospital, then his whole life would be ruined.
Her statement did not sound like a joke at all. Everyone knew how capable Elspeth was. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration for her to send him to a mental hospital.
Unexpectedly, a displeased voice sounded behind her.
“He was just asking for a hug, but you drove him out like he was some kind of gangster.”
As soon as the voice sounded, Elspeth turned around abruptly.
It came as a shock to her when she noticed how familiar the person before her was.
“You-“
The woman who spoke looked almost identical to Emma Walker. The only difference was that there was a mole at the end of her eye, giving her an extra charm.
Aside from her appearance, her voice sounded similar to Emma’s.
Elspeth couldn’t help suspecting whether the news she obtained was fake.
Didn’t Emma pass away in a hospital abroad? Why was she still alive?
A thread of questions popped up one after another in her mind.
The woman, on the other hand, didn’t look shocked at all upon meeting Elspeth’s eyes. She acted as if they were strangers.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. I’m just trying to fend for that man.”
Despite not knowing the identity of the woman in front of her, Elspeth still tried her best to keep calm. “I don’t know him, but his actions earlier did offend me.”
Covering her mouth in shock, the woman exclaimed, “Offend you? He just asked for a hug! How could you call that an offense? Do you hear what you’re saying?”
Elspeth was quick enough to notice that the woman had no good intentions.
Besides, she was definitely related to the man previously.
Were they accomplices?
After calming herself down, Elspeth carefully observed the woman in front of her. Seeing her normal expression and shallow smile, her suspicion grew.
“Emma Walker?” She called out tentatively. The woman did not seem to waver and react at all.
Wasn’t she Emma? As if not understanding her, the woman snickered. “Miss Lynwood, we’re talking about something serious here. Why are you mentioning someone else’s name all of a sudden? Are you trying to change the subject?”
Elspeth raised her head calmly upon hearing that.
“Someone else’s name? What if I was calling you?”
“I’m so sorry, but I’m not Emma Walker.” The woman sneered.
Elspeth was surprised to hear that. “I never expected you to remember the name I just blurted. I merely said it once, though.”
She was trying to throw bait at her. It made sense for someone to remember a name in such a short time, but Elspeth wanted to see her reaction to it.
The woman in front of her was now furious. “Let me repeat myself. That is not my name! My name is Yena Hallaway.”
Yena Hallaway… Elspeth became distracted as she pondered her name.
“Please look into my eyes as you speak, Miss Lynwood. That is common courtesy.”
Elspeth leisurely twirled her pen between her fingers as she gazed at Yena. “So, how are you going to fend for him?”
Yena chuckled. “I want you to apologize to him in front of everyone.”
Digging her ear, Elspeth countered, “But I just sent him to the mental hospital. Are you telling me to apologize to a lunatic?”
“Did you know that sending people to the mental hospital at will is illegal?”
Elspeth nodded in response. “Of course, I do. That’s why I made someone run a medical check on him. Apparently, he has symptoms of schizophrenia.”
Yena was rendered speechless instantly.
She almost forgot that Elspeth was an extremely capable woman. Based on her current net worth, there was no doubt she had the right to do things as she pleased in Damoria.
Wanting to torment her would be a vain act.
Biting her lips, Yena suppressed her frustrations. “But you shouldn’t have disrespected him.”
“I disrespected him? How was I disrespectful?” Elspeth exclaimed in shock.
Yena’s face turned crimson due to anger. “You!”
“Well, does everyone think I was being disrespectful?”
Since the crowd below the stage were fans of her books, coupled with how rude the man was to her earlier, everyone shook their heads.
“Nope. I did not see her being disrespectful.”
“I don’t know. I just saw a bad man getting kicked out of the venue.”
“Who on earth is this woman? Why is she trying to challenge Elsie publicly?”
“What a cunning woman. She’s trying to frame Elsie!”
“Get lost, antifan!”
