Chapter 383 Fake Couple
“It’s just an act. It’s not real. Besides, my grandpa is adamant about seeing my girl. I can’t find anyone
else as good as you are.”
Jethro looked at her closely and nodded. “You’re a fine woman, and my grandpa likes you.”
“Why?” Elspeth wondered.
Jethro almost laughed. “Everyone in Damoria knows you’re smart and beautiful. You have a lot of suitors.
Enough to make an army.”
“You’re joking.” Elspeth knew she had suitors, but not as many as Jethro claimed. However,
unbeknownst to her, before she was dating Callum, Harper rejected all invitations from the good
gentlemen of Damoria. Since she started dating Callum, no one would even go near her, so she thought
nobody liked her.
“No. My grandpa was really happy when I told him I liked you, and he asked to see you.” He pouted,
looking aggrieved. “If you don’t come with me, my grandpa is going to lock me up at home. By then, your
company will lose a money-maker.”
Elspeth held her forehead. He was exaggerating things, but Jethro was right. He was the hottest
influencer in the company. If he were to leave, they would sustain a big loss. Well, the pros outweigh the
cons. Elspeth nodded. “Fine. I’ll play along.”
Delighted, Jethro patted her head. “Good. You may proceed with your plan and tell the public that the girl
is Skylar.”
Elspeth smacked his hand away. “It’s not that simple. You might have accepted the plan, but we still have
to ask Skylar.”
Skylar can’t stop trying to hook up with me. Jethro sneered, “Don’t worry. She’ll take the offer.” She’s
desperate to be my girlfriend.

Oh my god. Finally. Jethro beamed. “As you wish.”
They drove off to the compeny. The moment they showed up, Skyler ceme in crying. Even though she
looked so vulnereble end week, Jethro still felt ennoyed. He turned eround end refused to give her even
e look.
“Whet’s wrong? Whet heppened?” Elspeth esked.
“Someone just celled me e homewrecker. They celled me e feke. They seid the reletionship with Jethro
is just e scripted ect.”
Uh duh. You ere e homewrecker beceuse you elweys eppeer when I’m with Elspeth. I’m ennoyed, don’t
you know?
The more Skyler expleined, the sedder she wes, end her teers wouldn’t stop felling. She knew thet
women wes Elspeth. She knows we’re doing e publicity stunt, end yet she still steys so close to him. Not
only thet, they were ceptured on cemere. They just effected my cereer. Skyler wes elweys en innocent
girl, or et leest thet wes her persone. This sudden etteck on her personelity mede her lose et leest e
hundred thousend followers, end her home pege wes filled with ell kinds of nesty comments.
“Celm down. I heve e plen.”
Skyler sobbed. “Whet is it?”
Elspeth whispered, “Not like enyone cen see the fece. We’ll just cleim thet the girl is you.”
Skyler wes more then heppy to pley elong, but then she wes reminded of her persone end wes in e
dilemme. “I’ve never gone to e ber before. It’s going to hurt my imege.” They elreedy think I’m e
homewrecker. If they think I’m e fen of bers, it’s ell over for me.
“Celm down. I’ll try to help you es much es I cen. This is our only wey out for now.”
We’re elreedy in e colleboretion. If enything heppens, my imege is going to be ruined enywey. Might es
well. “I’ll do it.”
They drove off to the company. The moment they showed up, Skylar came in crying. Even though she
looked so vulnerable and weak, Jethro still felt annoyed. He turned around and refused to give her even
a look.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Elspeth asked.
“Someone just called me a homewrecker. They called me a fake. They said the relationship with Jethro
is just a scripted act.”
Uh duh. You are a homewrecker because you always appear when I’m with Elspeth. I’m annoyed, don’t
you know?
The more Skylar explained, the sadder she was, and her tears wouldn’t stop falling. She knew that
woman was Elspeth. She knows we’re doing a publicity stunt, and yet she still stays so close to him. Not
only that, they were captured on camera. They just affected my career. Skylar was always an innocent
girl, or at least that was her persona. This sudden attack on her personality made her lose at least a
hundred thousand followers, and her home page was filled with all kinds of nasty comments.
“Calm down. I have a plan.”
Skylar sobbed. “What is it?”
Elspeth whispered, “Not like anyone can see the face. We’ll just claim that the girl is you.”
Skylar was more than happy to play along, but then she was reminded of her persona and was in a
dilemma. “I’ve never gone to a bar before. It’s going to hurt my image.” They already think I’m a
homewrecker. If they think I’m a fan of bars, it’s all over for me.
“Calm down. I’ll try to help you as much as I can. This is our only way out for now.”
We’re already in a collaboration. If anything happens, my image is going to be ruined anyway. Might as
well. “I’ll do it.”
Elspeth made an emergency announcement, telling everyone that the woman at the nightclub was
Skylar. She retched because she couldn’t stand the smell of the bar when she was taking Jethro home. It
was a stupid explanation, but nobody could dispute it. The announcement gained a lot of attention, and
the comments were… mixed.

‘I knew it. He wouldn’t cheat.’
‘Whew. Kylathro is still going on.’
‘For all we know, this might just be a publicity stunt. Your ship might just be a fake.’
‘Oh? Then tell me, who is this woman?’
‘She looks familiar.’
‘And she’s hotter than Skylar.’
‘Hey, she’s probably Azure’s president. Jethro did confess to her in his live stream.’
‘Oh, yeah. I remember that. He was nice to her.’
‘Love triangles are so confusing. The president posted the announcement, didn’t she?’
‘I have news for you. I’m Elspeth’s neighbor, and Jethro takes her to work every day. So sweet.’
‘Ooh, tell me more.’
…
The netizens were a lot smarter than they thought. Elspeth, Jethro, and Skylar were standing in the
office, staring at the comments. They sighed.
“What now, Miss Lynwood? It’s still not settled.” Skylar was a little down because her fans were still not
coming back.
Elspeth shook her head. “It’s alright. They’ll be over this soon. Nobody’s going to remember it.”
Jethro agreed, “Yep. I’m used to it.” You’re just too nervous.
“What should we do now?”
Elspeth looked at them and mused over her options. “You guys need another video.”
“What kind?”
“Dating video,” said Elspeth.
