Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 147

Truth was, everything she said was right. There was absolutely nothing he could deny, but he had never

wanted to harm Yelena. Those who wanted the information told him that Yelena would be safe after the

matter passed and would not be affected at all.

The worst thing that could happen was for her to leave the entertainment industry and return to being a

commoner.

A tinge of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes as he said, “That’s just your assumptions; they are not

the truth!”

“I believe you know better than I do. Don’t make me cite more evidence.”

Elspeth looked at Finn with a confident expression, appearing as if she knew everything.

Does she really know about it? Chills went down Finn’s spine and for unknown reasons, he felt extremely

uneasy.

“Are you certain that you do not want to confess, Finn?”

His heart sank when he heard his name being called.

“Fine. I was the one who did it, the one who leaked her information. But the person claimed that it

wouldn’t affect her. She is a celebrity, and doing this will only increase her popularity…”

His voice was getting softer as even he felt that what he said didn’t make sense.

“You’re so dumb!” Elspeth gave him a harsh look and went on, “How could you possibly trust everything

a stranger says? Yelena has always been portrayed as a pure, innocent young woman, but now that you

have unexpectedly caused a scandal for her, she will lose a lot of fans!”

Finn opened his mouth in surprise. He knew he was at fault this time. “What should we do now then?”

His original intention wasn’t to hurt Yelena. After all, he couldn’t bear to hurt his cousin whom he played

together with since they were small.

Yelena, on the other hand, was still in a state of disbelief ever since she heard the truth. She had never

imagined that her close cousin would be the one to frame her. “Finn, you…”

Finn was aware that he was the one to be blamed now. His usual ruffian chic vanished, leaving him

feeling helpless. “I’m sorry, Yelena…”

Seeing his helpless demeanor, Elspeth couldn’t help but scoff. “What’s the point of apologizing to her

now? If you truly want to amend for your wrongs, tell me who transferred the money to you.”

Finn faltered for a long while but couldn’t squeeze a word out.

“Why? Are you not willing to reveal? Or are you under threats?”

However, he shook his head. What he said next made Elspeth frown immediately.

“I have no idea what’s his name.”

“Do you know how he looks then?”

After a moment of thought, Finn said slowly, “He looks demure and gentle, yet his gaze was aloof. One

thing that I remember clearly is that he has a tiny butterfly-shaped pink scar at his brow.”

The moment he finished his sentence, everyone’s eyes lit up.

The traits that he described all pointed to Arthur!

Finn did not know who Arthur was, but Callum knew Arthur very well.

When Arthur was 5 years old, he fell off a tree and landed on a hard stone, leaving a butterfly-shaped

scar on his brow.

At the time, Margot said that this scar was a blessing because it was his brow and not his eyes that the

stone struck.

This meant that Arthur was the mastermind behind this scandal!

Elspeth’s heart trembled a little when she realized that things weren’t as simple as they thought it was.

Arthur, in framing Yelena, most probably was targeting Max and the Winthrop Family.

“I think Arthur isn’t the only one involved. The Alphascape Group is behind this as well.”

This was most likely a plan that both Arthur and the Alphascape Group came up with to cause great

losses to the Winthrops for them to feel panic, but Elspeth was not going to let them have their way.

“It’s time for you to make amends,” she said while glancing sideways at Finn.

Finn did not understand what she meant. “What do I need to do?”

“You still have the number that you used to contact him, right? Give him a call and tell him that 450

thousand is insufficient. Demand 700 thousand, or otherwise, you’ll reveal that they were the ones who

asked you to frame Yelena.”

To that, Finn bit his lips and replied, “But… I have already sold the evidence. Since I do not have any

proof, they wouldn’t be afraid of me exposing them at all.”

Elspeth grinned in response. “This phone call that you are about to make now will be the evidence.”

Hearing that, he suddenly understood Elspeth’s plan. Then, he fumbled for his phone and started dialing.

Everyone around him held their breaths and silently watched him making the call.

As they had anticipated, the person at the other end of the call started mocking Finn sarcastically when

the call was answered. Elspeth reminded Finn to turn on the speaker and she then secretly recorded the

entire conversation.

When the call ended, Finn bowed his head, looking just like a young child who had done something

wrong.

“That’s enough. The next step is for Yelena to execute.”

Then, with a smile, Elspeth turned to Yelena and instructed, “Go to Twitter now and explain your

relationship with Max and the unintentional kiss both of you had. Oh, and also your relationship with

Finn.”

Yelena, however, sulked when she heard that. “But if I explain it now, everyone will know my feelings for

Max. I’ll lose more of my fans.”

Elspeth shook her head in disagreement with Yelena’s assertions. “Do you intend to keep your feelings

for Max a secret from your fans forever, then?

Yelena wanted to refute Elspeth, but nothing came out of her mouth. She knew that Elspeth was right;

she could never be together with Max if she continued to keep her feelings from her fans.

Thus, after some thought, she wrote a lengthy post explaining everything honestly, including her

adoration for Max.

All of the fans were blown away when they read the post.

‘My goddess truly has someone she likes! And from her post, it appears to be a one-sided relationship.’

‘Max doesn’t even take a look at my desired goddess! What a jerk he is!”

‘Well, Max is, after all, the young master of the Winthrop Family. Why would he like a celebrity?’

“You’re wrong. She deserves to be loved!”

The matter quickly took an absurd turn. Many of them began to sympathize with Yelena for her one-sided

feelings, and even her hate comments were reduced.

Many people complimented her for her candor. Instead of having the number of her fans drop, she even

had more fans shipping her and Max.

Even though things had turned for the better, Elspeth felt that something was lacking.

Suddenly, she noticed a new Twitter post that contained only a video and no words. In the video, Max

was pestered by a woman in the bar, but he immediately shoved her to the ground and shouted for her to

get lost while pointing at the entrance.

This was the truth; Max wasn’t flirting with the woman at all. Someone purposefully just screenshotted a

portion of the video to fabricate a false narrative.

And that person with such nefarious intentions was…

Then, Elspeth clicked on a few buttons and posted the recording of the previous telephone conversation

on the internet.

The voice in the recording was familiar to start with, and together with Elspeth’s intentional hinting, the

culprit behind the video was soon identified.

The person was Arthur Winthrop, who actively participated in medical events! Being the director of a

prestigious hospital, he frequently attended important events and gave a lot of speeches. It was clear

that the voice in the recording belonged to him.
