Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 257

Kidnapped? The word hadn’t fully registered in her alcohol-fogged mind, but Elspeth was already grabbing her car keys and getting ready to rush out.

However, Callum stopped her by grabbing her arm firmly. “Where are you going?”

Her voice was filled with anxiety as she answered, “Blake and Yelena have been kidnapped by a group of people. Max just called and told me about it, so I have to hurry up and find them. They might not be far away yet.”

At once, his expression turned cold. This was no small matter since both Blake and Yelena were very famous actors. Once it became known that the two of them had disappeared together, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As such, he decided to go with her in search of them. Perhaps they could find some important clues. After all, two people were stronger than one.

Elspeth didn’t object as well, and she nodded in agreement before they drove to the location where Max had been abandoned.

When they arrived, she saw Max sitting by the road, looking dejected as he mumbled to himself.

“Max!” She called out his name, pulling him back from wherever his mind had wandered. At the same time, when Max saw her and Callum rushing over, his eyes lit up.

“Elspeth, Callum! You’re finally here!”

After looking around, Elspeth asked, “You said that they left you here and brought Blake and Yelena with them, right?”

“Yes! I don’t know why, though. Perhaps they’re Blake and Yelena’s maniacal fans…”

If they were maniacal fans, things would be even scarier. The frequent reports of maniacal fans in recent years were enough to make people tremble in fear.

“Okay. Which direction did they head off to?”

Max pointed to the east. “Over there, to the east. They drove a black van. I even saw the license plate, but based on their modus operandi, the license plate is probably fake.”

After a nod, Elspeth got into the car right away. “Get in the car, you guys. We’ll look for them together.”

This immediately hyped Max up. Based on what he knew of her, Elspeth would go alone, so he didn’t expect her to take him along.

“Don’t get too excited. I’m bringing you along because I think you’re a good helper and can help identify the vehicle. Tsk, you look strong, but you can’t even win a fight against one person.” Her remarks left him somewhat speechless.

When Max saw Callum’s indifferent face, he knew that Callum was laughing at him in secret as well. I’m not weak. I’m just bad at fighting! Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The three of them drove for a long time but still hadn’t found where Blake and Yelena were.

Suddenly, Elspeth received a message on her phone. It was a message sent to her public phone number, not her personal one, indicating that the sender was not someone she knew well or someone close to her.

As soon as she read the message, her heart wrenched. ‘Elspeth, you’re welcome to visit Room 405, International Hotel to witness an amazing show.’

Since it was an anonymous number, she couldn’t find any personal information about the sender. However, the address was in Waterside.

Immediately, she connected this number with tonight’s event.

“Let’s go. We need to hurry to International Hotel.” She floored the accelerator, driving the car at more than 70 miles per hour.

International Hotel was not far from where they were. On the way, Elspeth kept wishing to get there quickly, hoping that nothing had happened to Yelena and Blake. However, when she arrived at the hotel, she found an endless stream of reporters rushing in, making the scene look spectacular as if there were some big event going on inside.

While on tenterhooks, she quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed in. When she saw that almost everyone was going to the fourth floor, she hurried to Room 405 immediately.

Meanwhile, Callum and Max were pushed aside by the crowd and lost track of Elspeth in an instant.

The door to Room 405 was left open, and Yelena and Blake were inside with their clothes lying on the ground. They were hugging each other in an amorous posture while their bodies were covered by a sheet, and it was clear what had happened.

Blake’s face was slightly covered, so one could only vaguely see who he was and clearly wanted to save his reputation for him.

On the other hand, Yelena was not so lucky. Not only was her face completely exposed, but even her chest was slightly revealed.

However, judging from the current situation, both of them were unconscious, so probably nothing had happened.

Elspeth decisively kicked a reporter desperately taking pictures in front. She then shouted, “Get them all out of here!”

The next second, several men in black appeared out of nowhere as if they had been notified in advance, and they kicked the reporters to the ground.

When she saw that almost everyone had been kicked out of the room, she nodded and said, “Bring me everyone’s cameras. I’ll delete the photos myself.”

Hearing that, several reporters began to complain, “How can you do that? We took all the photos ourselves. Who are you to delete them? You’re just taking advantage of your power to bully us commoners. How disgusting of you!” They wanted to publish the most shocking news to gain popularity, so no one wanted to give up their cameras.

At this moment, Elspeth slowly walked to his side and reached out her hand. “Give it to me.”

“This is my camera. Snatch it from me if you dare!” The person scoffed.

“I even dare to kick you, so what makes you think that I don’t dare to snatch it?”

Almost immediately, Elspeth reached out her hand and snatched his camera away, kicking him six feet away in the process. The only reason she couldn’t kick him 30 feet away was that the place was too small.

She was so skilled at photography that she was able to delete the photos with just a few clicks. When she saw the lewd photos of beautiful women he had secretly taken, she furrowed her brows and deleted them with a click the moment his creepy look flashed across her mind.

The man lay on the ground and almost passed out from anger as he watched her delete the photos he had painstakingly taken.

Seeing this, the others were afraid of getting beaten up as well, so they obediently lined up to have their photos deleted.

“Very well. You guys have made the right choice by listening to me.” Elspeth was very satisfied with their behavior. Even though there might be some who slipped through her net, she had taken the greatest precautions she could.

“Okay, those who deleted their photos can leave now. By the way, don’t even think about restoring them. I run the entire repair industry in Waterside. If I find out that any of you have secretly restored them or posted the undeleted photos online, I will definitely visit you.”

I’ll never go easy on anyone. Although she didn’t say the last sentence, her words were already engraved in their minds.

Only when the reporters around her all nodded in unison did she let them go.

After the reporters left, Elspeth looked at the men in black around her and knitted her brows, asking, “What’s up with you all? Why are you guys suddenly following me?”

She had sensed their presence with her sensor ring earlier, so she sought their help.

“Mr. Payne ordered us to follow you around the clock, Miss Lynwood,” they reported.
