Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 717

The Harley Family’s business? Elspeth rejected the idea without a second thought.

“Dealing with Azure is already stressful enough for me. You should just leave the Harley Family to Yozan.”

Elspeth had not forgotten what Yozan had said to her in the past, and she was afraid that he would despise her for the rest of his life if she had genuinely accepted the Harley Family. Besides, he had willingly called her his sister, so she did not have the heart to compete for the family business with him. Most importantly, she was not interested in the Harley Family at all.

However, it did not occur to her that Yozan was no longer the same man he used to be a few years ago.

“Him?” Welson let out a huff. “All he does nowadays is go on dates. Where would he find the time to take care of my business?”

Cecelia and Yozan… are together? In the four years she had spent abroad, the local economy had not progressed much, but the relationships of the few people around her developed exceptionally quickly.

Just then, a soft voice sounded from behind the two. “Grandpa!”

A small yet adorable young girl rushed over swiftly, biting her lip at the sight of the two strangers. “Grandpa, who are they?”

Although she looked a little meek, she was not afraid at all.

At the sight of the young girl before him, Welson felt his heart melt, and he immediately picked her up and raised her high in the air.

“My darling Penny, have you finished your homework?”

When she heard that, Penelope jutted her chin upward smugly and boasted, “Of course I did! Aren’t I fast?”

“Of course. You’re the best, Penny.”

With Penelope in his arms, Welson introduced her to Elspeth. “Let me introduce you two. This is your Aunt Elspeth, and the man beside her is her husband, which means he’s your uncle.”

Penelope nodded thoughtfully before she let out a chortle. “Oh, I see now. Dad is always nagging me all day.”

Welson couldn’t help but scoff. “Who knows where that useless father of yours is fooling around now? By the way, do you know where he is?”

As if she were a tiny adult, Penelope replied solemnly, “Dad told me that he’s going on a honeymoon with Mom at Langford, and he’s only coming back next month.”

“That b*stard!” Welson slammed a hand on the table, losing his temper. “I just told them yesterday that Elspeth is coming back. He really can run!”

Penelope let out a helpless sigh and shook her head. “Grandpa, you know how my dad is. Oh, by the way, he told me to pass this on to you. He said that he’ll leave the Harley Family’s business in my aunt’s hands.”

At that, she stared at the woman before her curiously, blinking her eyes. “So, this is the aunt he was talking about. She’s so pretty.”

Elspeth was rendered speechless by her words, not expecting something so ridiculous to happen to her. If she had known that she would meet such an irresponsible man, she wouldn’t have come to the Harley Residence in the first place.

“Hmph… Elspeth, don’t take Yozan seriously as he’s always been this irresponsible. So, about the Harley Family’s business, why don’t you just—”

Before Welson could finish, Elspeth let out a vicious cough and shot to her feet. “I still have something else to attend to today. I’ll come back to visit another day…”

She immediately shot a look to Callum, who was next to her. “Am I right?”
