Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

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 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.
