“May I know which artist you are referring to?” Elspeth could tell he was a pitiful man after listening towhat

he said.

“It doesn’t matter whom I’m referring to. The point is… you are the cause of my misery!” The manalmost lost his mind. At that moment, the only thing he could think of was to grab onto Elspeth andtorture 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 atthem with a dagger in his hand. The quick-witted Elspeth was able to dodge his attack by grabbing hiswrist and pushing him onto the ground.

“You!” The startled man looked at her as if he never expected that she could respond that quickly. Heeven 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 atus, but do you think that you’ll feel better after killing us? If I’m dead, there will be numerous peoplegoing 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 thefuture.”

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 ofgiving 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 managementcompanies under Azure Corporation?”

“Are you referring to… Luminous?

Luminous Entertainment was regarded as the most profitable entertainment as of now. Timothy hadpreviously had a hard time in Gleam Entertainment under the Alphascape Group. Although he hadpopularized countless celebrities under the company, he couldn’t make it to a director since he did notconcern 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 accomplishedlady 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’sheart 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 automaticallymake a report to the police if I couldn’t locate Yelena within half an hour. The choice is yours. You eitherget a be the

director at Luminous and thrive in your career or…” Elspeth glanced at him and paused as if she wasimplying

something.

The options were simple: he could either choose to have a bright future or a dim one where he had tospend his life in hiding. Moreover, he knew that there was no chance he could win against Elspeth in afight 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 itmade Timothy change his mind.

“Alright, I-I’ll release Yelena.” With trembling hands, he untied Yelena’s ropes and tore off the black tapeon

her mouth.

“Elspeth, why the heck did you help him!” As soon as Yelena was released, she ran and stood behindElspeth 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 deservedto 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 GleamEntertainment was a capable, virtuous, and proud man. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the promotion hedeserved. 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 someonewhom he hated to the core would go to great lengths to help him out. At the same time, sheacknowledged 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 anddo something on an impulse that you’ll regret for the rest of your life.”

“I understand, Miss Lynwood.”

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 youthe contract. By then, you’ll just have to report yourself at Luminous.” Elspeth helped him up with asmile.

At that, he nodded but suddenly recalled the setting where the phone would automatically alert thepolice. “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 wasdifferent from

earlier on.

“Then, we shall take our leave. Just wait for the news from us.” Elspeth then took out a name card withher

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 theyentered

and were back on the ground floor.

“What happened? Why did you wander around and even got yourself kidnapped?” Elspeth couldn’thelp but

rant.

“Hey, I was having a bad mood.” Yelena scratched her head and smiled. She then frowned upon themention of

her bad mood.
