Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 14

Elspeth woke up early the following day because she had to spend the day with Arthur, who was a doctor and Hamilton Hospital’s director. All five of the Winthrop brothers seemed excellent because Arthur was already a director at such a young age. Despite his gentle and elegant appearance, Elspeth did not get to talk much with him ever since she moved to Winthrop Residence as he was not much of a talker. The two drove a car to the hospital. “I have two operations today and will be busy. You can stay in my office or go out if you’re bored, but remember to bring the bodyguards along.” Elspeth nodded. After a whole morning of playing games, Arthur still had not finished his operations. Since she was too bored inside the office, she left the hospital and went for a stroll. When she returned home late at night, she still did not see him even until the next day, which was Max’s turn. He was the youngest of all and still a college student. As the driver was on leave today and Callum just happened to pass by Max’s school on his way to the company, the three finished breakfast and left the villa together. Along the way, only Max’s surprised voice could be heard inside the car. “Yo, sh*t. Callum, I just got the news that someone beat your record at Death Canyon yesterday.” The Death Canyon was a well-known car race track and Callum set the fastest time there in five minutes and thirty-two seconds. For that very achievement, no words could describe how much Max admired his eldest brother! Yet, now, someone actually broke that record! Hearing the news, the man slightly raised an eyebrow. “Callum, it was a woman! Unfortunately, she was wearing a helmet, so no one could see what she looked like.” The drowsy Elspeth was not participating in the conversation while Max at the front was busy chattering about how he wanted to find out who that woman was. Despite his investigation, he could not get his hands on her information. Before they arrived at his college, Max changed the topic and turned to Elspeth. “Hey, country bumpkin. Have you taken a fancy to Blake?” Hearing him call her ‘country bumpkin’ made her a little annoyed. “What makes your tiny brain think so?” “You gave him such an expensive mic without batting an eyelid. Don’t tell me you’re his fan. Sh*t. I guess all women love celebrities.” Feeling speechless, she rolled her eyes and alighted from the car, not intending to argue with the idiot. Meanwhile, Callum’s hands were tightening on the steering wheel. Does she really like Blake? “Callum, I’m getting off now. Oh, right. You’ve got better connections, so can you help me findContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

out who that woman is?” Max, a race car fanatic, now had a new idol. She must be an elegant and pretty young lady. That’s so cool! Not bothering with his request, Callum reminded him instead, “Look after her.” “Man. No one’s gonna come for her,” Max complained while descending the car. As colleges tend to have fewer restrictions, no one cared that Elspeth sat in Max’s class. However, she felt that someone was watching her wherever she went. After all, the Winthrops had just announced that she would be engaged to one of their five sons, so she was the star of the show no matter where she was. After attending one class session, she felt bored and heard a few young women saying, “Does she like Max? Jeez. How shameless of her. Why doesn’t she look in the mirror and see how old she is?” Elspeth was speechless. I’m only twenty years old, for heaven’s sake! What’s more, who spread the rumor that I like Max? Feeling at a loss for words, she rose to her feet and went into the bathroom, but she was blocked just as she was walking out. Standing in her way, a few young women in uniform stopped her while the one in the lead glared at her, asking, “Do you like Max Winthrop?” “No, I don’t.” “Ha. Elspeth, Max is the most handsome guy in our school. Why don’t you look at yourself and see if you’re worthy of him?” Hearing those words made Elspeth even more speechless. Can’t these women understand words? I’ve already said I don’t like him!!
