CHAPTER 605 STRANGER WHO CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
Yelena just could not get a break at all. Before the scandal was resolved, another scandal about her
was trending on the internet.
Someone posted a high-quality video of Yelena berating a young woman in a clothing store. The young
woman looked so meek and pitiful.
The instant the video was uploaded, everyone noticed it.
'I did not expect Yelena to be that kind of person,' someone commented.
'I thought she was a sweet and innocent woman, but it was all an act,' another comment said.
'The words she used are not something a kind-hearted woman would ever say.'
'It's all an act just to sell an image.'
'I'm no longer a fan of hers.'
......
Yelena had not expected that young woman to record the exchange. Hence, she was panicking once
more.
When she barged into the office, Elspeth was going through her paperwork. "What's the rush?" Elspeth
asked, unable to resist sighing when she saw how harried Yelena looked.
"Did you see the headline from today? That woman framed me!" Yelena was beside herself with fury.
She did not think the woman would stab her in the back once more.
"In that case, we will use this chance to strike back," Elspeth stated.
That immediately piqued Yelena's curiosity. "How do we do that?"
There was a confident smirk on Elspeth's lips. "You'll know when it's time."
Elspeth was not fooling around either. Her counter was launched that very afternoon.
Suddenly, a longer video of the encounter was posted online. It was a recording of Yelena's rebuke and
of how the young woman had arrogantly tried to bully her.
That video caused an even greater uproar.
All the fans who denounced Yelena that morning instantly realized they had been angry at the wrong
person.
'I just knew it! There's no way Yelena is that kind of woman. She must have done it because she was
being bullied,' said a comment.
'She had been in the industry for four years, yet we have never heard a single negative word about her.
There's no way her bad behavior would be so easily exposed,' someone else commented.
'Who knows? What if she just has a great PR department and this slipped through the cracks?'
'Will the hater above please get out? Stop disturbing us.'
......
When Yelena heard about the uproar, she was huddled up in Elspeth's office and happily munching
down on some honeydew.
She nearly leaped off the couch with glee when she read the news.
"You're amazing, Elspeth," she exclaimed. "I knew you would be able to settle this matter."
Elspeth shook her head and stroked her chin. "It's not that simple. I want her to pay an even greater
price."
Yelena was confused. "What price?"
Elspeth stood up from her desk and stretched before walking over to ruffle Yelena's hair.
"As usual, you'll know when it is time."
Yelena is a simple-minded kid who should just focus on her shows.
30 minutes after the second video was posted, the internet was shocked once more by an
announcement.
It seemed like nearly all of the famous designer brands had announced at the same time that they Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
would be banning the young woman in the video from shopping at any of their stores.
The young woman had essentially been blacklisted by the fashion industry.
If she wanted to buy any new clothes, she would need help from others as it was no longer possible for
her to step a single foot into any retail store.
However, she had made so many enemies that no one would help her without serious consideration.
Yelena nearly burst out laughing when she heard that. "Elspeth, you are awesome. Doesn't this mean
she can only shop in wholesale markets in the future?"
Elspeth shrugged and took a sip of her coffee. "That is none of my business. She is free to shop
wherever she pleases."
"Free?" Yelena let out a peal of laughter. "You are the best when it comes to bringing someone down."
What freedom was there when the young woman had no options available to her?
"Oh, right. How did you get so many brands to announce that at the same time?" Yelena asked.
How powerful was Elspeth? It should have taken a few days at the very least to contact that many
companies.
"It's nothing. They merely know whom they should not offend," Elspeth answered.
Upon hearing that, Yelena made a hand heart while striking a pretty pose. "I worship you, Elspeth. How
I wish I were a man. Otherwise, I would be going after you just so I can end up as a trophy husband."
Elspeth silently stared at Yelena. What a foolish girl.
......
After the matter was settled, Yelena returned to the set to continue filming.
Elspeth had nothing to do, but it just so happened that she needed to hold a book signing event for one
of her books. Thus, she decided to have the event near Yelena's film set.
In essence, she was supervising Yelena.
Elspeth used to refuse all book signing events or hired someone else to sign in her place. This was her
first time actually attending a book signing event as Elsie, and that only happened because Federick
exposed her identity.
Her book was unusually popular, so there were a lot of people who attended the event.
Among a crowd of people, there would always be a rebel.
She was at the signing table when someone pushed through the crowd and charged at her.
It was a burly man in his thirties with a golden chain necklace hanging from his neck. There was no
hiding the infatuation in his eyes.
"Elsie, I really like you. Can I shake your hand?" he asked.
It was evident the man's focus was on something else other than a simple handshake.
The lustful glint in his eyes filled her with disgust. However, there were too many people watching for
her to bluntly deny his request.
She held her hand out and was shocked when he grabbed it and held it up to her nose to sniff it.
"You smell so good, Elsie."
His words were so disgusting that she immediately tugged her hand out of his grip. "You have your
handshake. Can you please return to your seat?"
However, the man ignored her request and made an even more audacious demand.
"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.
