Chapter 88
“May I know which artist you are referring to?” Elspeth could tell he was a pitiful man after listening to
what he said.
“It doesn’t matter whom I’m referring to. The point is… you are the cause of my misery!” The man almost
lost his mind. At that moment, the only thing he could think of was to grab onto Elspeth and torture her to
release his pent-up rage.
“Both you and Yelena are the cause of my misery! Both of you should die!” With that, he charged at them
with a dagger in his hand. The quick-witted Elspeth was able to dodge his attack by grabbing his wrist
and pushing him onto the ground.
“You!” The startled man looked at her as if he never expected that she could respond that quickly. He
even forgot to pick up his dagger from the ground.
“Timothy. I know how upset you feel after being fired, which is why you are venting out your anger at us,
but do you think that you’ll feel better after killing us? If I’m dead, there will be numerous people going
after you, your wife, and your children. Is that what you want?”
Her firm tone of voice finally made Timothy come to his senses. “How do you know my name?”
“I know that among the female stars who are Yelena’s rivals, Fiona is the most arrogant and well-known.
Her popularity is almost on par with Yelena’s and her achievements are all thanks to you, Timothy.
Unfortunately. she didn’t cherish it and instead drove you away. I’m sure she’ll regret it in the future.”
Timothy never expected her to utter such words as he was just about to kill her earlier…
“Timothy, if you don’t mind, I can refer you for a decent job.”

“What decent job could you offer me? Fiona made the entire internet blacklist me. She never thought of
giving me a way out.” He sounded unsure.
“If I say that I can refer you to the position of director in one of the most famous management companies
under Azure Corporation?”
“Are you referring to… Luminous?
Luminous Entertainment was regarded as the most profitable entertainment as of now. Timothy had
previously had a hard time in Gleam Entertainment under the Alphascape Group. Although he had
popularized countless celebrities under the company, he couldn’t make it to a director since he did not
concern himself with the gift- giving culture and came off as someone morally lofty.
But Luminous! Everyone knew how robust it was! Even Gleam Entertainment wasn’t its competitor.
As the President of Azure Corporation, offering someone a job there was a piece of cake.
“D-do you mean it?” Timothy asked in a quavering voice. He never expected that the accomplished lady
standing in front of him was that capable.
“Of course. I know Azure’s vice president.” Elspeth winked at him cheekily. Seeing that made Timothy’s
heart waver as he wasn’t sure whether he’d be given a second chance in his career.
Before he could thank her, he suddenly looked at her cautiously. “What if you are lying to me?”
“I’ve never lied to anyone. One more thing. I set up my phone before coming here. It will automatically
make a report to the police if I couldn’t locate Yelena within half an hour. The choice is yours. You either
get a be the director at Luminous and thrive in your career or…” Elspeth glanced at him and paused as if
she was implying something.
The options were simple: he could either choose to have a bright future or a dim one where he had to
spend his life in hiding. Moreover, he knew that there was no chance he could win against Elspeth in a
fight and doing so would be a dead end.
“Your child needs their father. Don’t you agree, Director Stevens?” Elspeth smiled as she spoke, and it
made Timothy change his mind.
“Alright, I-I’ll release Yelena.” With trembling hands, he untied Yelena’s ropes and tore off the black tape
on her mouth.
“Elspeth, why the heck did you help him!” As soon as Yelena was released, she ran and stood behind
Elspeth before giving him a fierce glare.
“I’m not helping him. I have my agenda.”
“What do you mean?” In Yelena’s eyes, Timothy was a nasty man who kidnapped her, and he deserved
to be arrested. She couldn’t believe that Elspeth helped him!
“Timothy is a capable man.” Before this, Elspeth had heard from Harper that Timothy from Gleam
Entertainment was a capable, virtuous, and proud man. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the promotion he
deserved. On top of that, it was the conflict with Fiona that caused him to lose his mind.
“Thank you, Miss Lynwood,” Timothy uttered with tears in his eyes as he never expected that someone
whom he hated to the core would go to great lengths to help him out. At the same time, she
acknowledged his capability and also spoke his mind.
“No problem, Mr. Stevens. I know that you’re an outstanding person. However, try not to go astray and
do something on an impulse that you’ll regret for the rest of your life.”

After hearing that, Timothy instantly got on his feet and exclaimed, “Miss Lynwood, you’re my savior.”
“Alright, get up now. You can go home if there’s nothing else. Tomorrow I’ll ask someone to send you the
contract. By then, you’ll just have to report yourself at Luminous.” Elspeth helped him up with a smile.
At that, he nodded but suddenly recalled the setting where the phone would automatically alert the
police. “Miss Lynwood, about your phone…” he asked solemnly.
“Nah, it’s fine. I made it up.” Elspeth chuckled, which left him in speechlessness when he heard it.
“You just told him that you’ve never lied.” Yelena mumbled as she stood behind.
Elspeth stretched her hand out and knocked Yelena’s head as a result. “Alright, that’s it.”
Timothy couldn’t help but smile as he realized that Elspeth had an adorable side to her that was different
from earlier on.
“Then, we shall take our leave. Just wait for the news from us.” Elspeth then took out a name card with
her
name and contact on it and passed it to him. “Send me your address tomorrow.”
With that, Timothy nodded as he took the card. Elspeth and Yelena then walked out the same way they
entered and were back on the ground floor.
“What happened? Why did you wander around and even got yourself kidnapped?” Elspeth couldn’t help
but rant.
“Hey, I was having a bad mood.” Yelena scratched her head and smiled. She then frowned upon the
mention of her bad mood.
