Love's Perfect Match

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."
