Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 28

Chapter 28 She’s Nancy Star

The comments started getting out of hand and the song’s popularity was affected as well. Blake

realized how serious things had become, so he immediately went to the Winthrop Group to discuss

with Elspeth what they should do to combat this issue.

Elspeth had been in discussion with Callum about the company’s next collaboration. She cocked her

eyebrows in amusement when she heard about the controversy online.

“So they’re saying that I imitated Nancy Star?” Elspeth couldn’t resist chuckling at that very idea.

Blake frowned at her reaction. “This is quite a serious matter, Elspeth.”

She doesn’t seem bothered by it at all.

A bold thought came to mind when Callum noticed Elspeth’s reaction.

However, he didn’t voice it. He merely studied Elspeth thoughtfully as he waited to see what she would

do next.

Elspeth gave Blake a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this. It won’t affect the release of

your new song.”

“Alright.” For some reason, Blake found himself having complete faith in Elspeth once he saw just how

unaffected she was.

Ophelia knocked on the door and came in. When she saw that the three of them had gathered there,

she couldn’t stop herself from asking, “By the way, I heard that there’s a scandal involving the song that

Elspeth recorded with Blake. I think people are saying that Elspeth imitated… What’s going on,

Elspeth?”

Elspeth merely glanced at her without saying anything.

Nobody responded to Ophelia, but she forced herself to stay calm and suggested, “I think if Elspeth

really did do such a thing, she should just make a public apology on social media. Maybe everyone will

forgive her.”

A public apology?

Elspeth knew that making a public apology at a time like this was the equivalent of digging a hole for

herself. Not only would her reputation be destroyed, but Blake would be affected too.

“I’m not apologizing,” Elspeth declared outright.

Ophelia instantly started fretting. “Elspeth, even if you don’t care about your reputation, Blake still

needs to care about his. If you have even a shred of conscience, you should go and apologize on

social media right now. What if this ends up affecting Blake’s career?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone be affected by this.”

“What else can you do? Imitating is imitating. You can’t change what you did!”

“What if there is something else I can do?” Elspeth decided to have some fun.

Naturally, Ophelia didn’t believe her.

She had looked into this already. Nancy Star has retreated from the public eye, so there’s no way

Elspeth is her, right? She studied abroad, so where would she find the time to become a celebrity?

What a laughable thought.

“What else is there that you can do? Don’t tell me you’re going to announce to the public that you’re

Nancy Star. Who’d believe you?” Ophelia retorted mockingly as she stared at Elspeth questioningly.

“It so happens that I am.”

Blake was stupefied when he heard Elspeth’s response.

Elspeth Lynwood, the one that was supposed to be engaged to one of them, was actually Nancy Star,

the person he admired with all his heart?!

Even Callum was stunned too.

Ophelia shook her head and sighed. “Stop trying to put up a strong front, Elspeth. You’ll only make

things worse for yourself if you keep telling lie after lie.”

Elspeth couldn’t be bothered to debate this with Ophelia any longer. She took out her phone, opened

Twitter, and changed to a different account.

She went from an unknown alternate account to an account with tens of millions of followers.

A new tweet popped up all of a sudden. Blake realized that the only account he was following on

Twitter had just sent out a new tweet after a year of silence.

It was just four words, but that was enough to leave everyone thunderstruck.

‘I am Elspeth Lynwood.’

In an instant, the tweet blew up on Twitter with several million retweets. A few people started cheering

wildly in the comments.

‘See! I told you that Elspeth Lynwood is Nancy Star, but none of you believed me!’

‘What a slap in the face. Those of you who said that Elspeth imitated someone else need to slap

yourselves in the face!’

‘So this is what Nancy Star looks like! She looks gorgeous in the music video! She’s beautiful, has a

lovely voice, is well-educated, and has five wonderful men to pick from! Her life sounds like something

you’d find in a romantic comedy!’

“It’s Nancy Star’s latest song. I can’t believe how good it sounds! My wifey has such a mesmerizing

voice! I’m going to play the song 10,000 times!’

“Hey, you up there, scram! That’s my wife!’

The comments on Twitter flipped around within a minute.

The song started rising on the streaming charts again and even broke its earlier record.

“Do you believe me now, Ophelia?” Elspeth rested her head on her hands. She looked as if she had

gotten VIP seats at the theater and was about to enjoy a good show.

Meanwhile, Ophelia looked like she had just swallowed a fly.

How could Elspeth be Nancy Star?!

Disappointment, jealousy, rage, and resentment all coursed through her veins as she clenched her

fists. The only thing she could think of as she looked at Elspeth’s attractive face was how much she

longed to rip it apart!

“All’s well that ends well, and everyone’s happy now,” Elspeth commented, but she brought up

something else. “You were criticizing me and doubting me just now, Miss Fleming. Shouldn’t you

apologize to me?”

What Ophelia wanted to do was call Elspeth a b*tch, but the only thing she could do was force out a

smile and apologize. “So sorry about that, Elspeth. I misunderstood you.”

“It’s fine. I’m not a petty person. Consider yourself forgiven.”

Ophelia had come in to have a good laugh at Elspeth’s expense, but Elspeth had turned things around

so quickly and was so smug about it now. As such, Ophelia couldn’t stand being in this room any

longer.

Once Ophelia left, Blake, who had finally regained his composure, spoke up. He couldn’t hide the

excitement in his voice as he said, “Elspeth… Wait, no… Nancy! You’re my role model! I love your

songs!”

Nancy had only been active in the music industry for one year and managed to win the most

prestigious music award in her debut year before vanishing from the limelight. No one else could do

what she did.

Elspeth smiled. “Alright, now. I’m just a normal person.”

“I hope we can continue working together!”

Blake was on cloud nine after having found out that he had just recorded a song with his celebrity

crush. He couldn’t wait to work with her again.

Elspeth nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Blake left first as he had to deal with the rest of the press releases, and soon, Callum and Elspeth were

the only ones left in the office.

“I never thought you’d have so many identities,” Callum remarked with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Elspeth chuckled at that. “You’re teasing me, Mr. Winthrop.”

“Must we talk like that?”

Callum had no idea why he felt a little uncomfortable at the way Elspeth seemed to be keeping him at

arm’s length at all times.

Elspeth only cocked an eyebrow. “How should I talk, then?”

Callum paused. In the end, he said nothing.

Things were a little odd between them, and even the other Winthrops noticed this.

Seeing as to how Callum seemed to be in a bad mood, Max suggested, “I heard that there’s a new

race track at Death Canyon. Why don’t we go and try it out together?”

Theodore smiled when he heard that, and he said, “In that case, take Elsie with you.”

Max pursed his lips. “Dad, this is a boys’ thing. A girl like her would probably be terrified the moment

she sat inside a race car. She’d probably start bawling her eyes out. Why are you suggesting that we

take her with us?”

“Oh? Are girls not allowed to race cars?” Elspeth piped up in interest. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s really not that I look down on girls. Some girls enjoy racing cars. It was a girl who broke Callum’s

record a while back. I’m sure she must be a beautiful, sexy woman!” Max declared with a look of pure

admiration.
