Chapter 661 Chat on the Rooftop

At night, Elspeth showed up alone, as promised, outside the Alphascape Group building. It was already after work hours, so there were hardly any people inside. As she entered, the only person present seemed to be the security officer at the entrance.

The security guard, seeing her alone, curiously asked, "Miss, everyone in this building has already gone home from work. There are hardly any people inside now. Who are you here to see?" With a smile, she replied, "I know. I'm here to see someone."

Puzzled by her ambiguous answer, the security guard scratched his head in confusion. "Weird, but miss, you should leave quickly after you're done. It's not safe to be alone at night, especially for a young girl like you."

Of course, she could protect herself, but since his concern was well-intentioned, she didn't say much to him. She just smiled at him and walked inside.

Strangely enough, the place where Yena had asked her to meet this time was not the office but the rooftop of the company building.

Once inside the elevator, Elspeth pressed the button for the top floor. As the elevator ascended, she pondered Yena's intentions in asking her over. When the elevator doors opened, the strong wind on the rooftop gradually brought her back to full alertness.

The rooftop had been designed in a style resembling a small villa. At this moment, Yena was sitting at a table with two glasses of wine placed in front of her.

Upon seeing Elspeth approaching, she surprisingly showed a friendly attitude. "Wow, you're here. You're quite punctual."

Elspeth sat down opposite her with an expressionless face, not touching the wine in front of her, and directly asked, "So, why did you ask me to come here today?"

When Yena saw that Elspeth didn't drink the wine, she didn't force her either. She picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip.

"I have my reasons for asking you here today, of course, but don't worry. I'm not here to discuss work with you. I just wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation." Elspeth found her words ironic. "You don't have to beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."

Judging from Yena's slightly flushed face, she appeared to have already consumed several drinks. "I said that I asked you to come here today simply to have a drink and chat with you. Why don't you believe me?"

"You put something in the wine, right?"

At her suspicion, Yena suddenly blew a fuse. She directly picked up the glass of wine in front of Elspeth and finished it in one gulp. "Why would I put something in your drink?"

After finishing her drink, she turned the glass upside down and smashed it on the ground after she confirmed that not a drop was left.

Crack! The shattering sound made Elspeth instantly alert.

"If you have nothing special to discuss with me, then I'll leave now." She had no interest in chatting about life with Yena.

However, Yena was persistent. "Why don't you want to chat with me? Didn't you promise me?"

"What did I promise you?" Elspeth turned around, looking puzzled.

"You promised to come and chat with me."

Elspeth thought she might have had too much to drink, having no interest in her nonsense.

Just as she was about to stand up and leave, Yena's voice came from behind her. "If you take one step away from here today, I will immediately release that mutant virus."

At once, Elspeth turned around with an icy gaze. "What do you want from me?"

"I've said it many times already. Just chat with me."

Elspeth had no choice but to reluctantly sit back down. "Fine. Speak."

A smile tugged on Yena's lips, and her eyes shone with an unfathomable light. "Do you know what I've been through all these years?"

Elspeth naturally had no idea because, in her memory, Yena had died a long time ago.

At this moment, Yena picked up the nearby wine glass and poured herself another drink. "Right. It's pointless for me to ask you this question. Let me tell you then. Three years ago, when I was lying in the hospital bed in a vegetative state, Arthur, the man who claimed to love me forever, bribed a nurse to remove my oxygen tank."

As Elspeth listened to these words, she remained silent.

"You know what? At that time, I knew nothing. But the reason his plan failed was because the nurse he bribed happened to be one of my relatives." Yena spoke, her face showing a grateful relief. "That nurse would never do anything to harm me, so she secretly saved me behind Arthur's back. Later, when he returned to the country, she diligently took care of me. And I miraculously woke up. Don't you think God was helping me? When I woke up, she told me everything about what had happened. I couldn't believe that Arthur would harm me. So, I pondered and figured out that it must have been your doing. He must have tried to seek revenge on me on your behalf. Since then, I've tried every means possible. First, I changed my face and assumed a new identity, as the name Emma Walker was already tarnished. Only by changing my name could I do the things I wanted to do freely. You can't even imagine what I've done to elevate myself."

Those memories were like needles piercing deeply into her heart, and she couldn't even speak of the nauseating things that had plagued her sleep countless times.

"The savior Arthur met back then when he was a child was you. I took over your identity, and I've done so many terrible things to you. So, you hold a grudge against me and devised this plan to get back at me.' At this moment, Elspeth calmly said, "I don't know anything about what you just said."

"Can't you stop pretending to be innocent and harmless all the time? Do you know that you're really annoying like this?" When Yena saw Elspeth's calm expression, anger rose inside her for some reason. "It was you who intervened in my relationship with Callum and made me end up like this. How dare you act all holy and noble?"

Her emotions had become somewhat unstable, and Elspeth was worried that she might do something extreme, so she remained vigilant. She then asked, "So? Have all these actions you've taken to seek revenge on me given you the outcome you wanted?"

Yena laughed loudly at these words. "You think too highly of yourself, Elspeth. Do you actually believe that I came back this time just to take Callum away from you? I'm not that obsessed with love." "What do you want then?"

As Yena met Elspeth's eyes, she said, word by word, "I want to destroy you, Callum, and everyone you care about."
