Love's Perfect Match

“So, he had a first love. What about it?”

“That was three years ago, but the girl went missing. He liked her back then and spent a long time looking for her,

but unfortunately, she passed away. Because of this, he became depressed before he placed all his focus on his

work. That’s why he managed to make the company such a huge success in two years.”

That means that Jordan is a fool in love too, Elspeth mused.

“All right, let’s stop talking about this. Since you’re already seeing each other, you should enjoy your time together.

Anyway, I think that the two of you are quite similar.”

Elspeth shook her head with a smile. “Two people who are similar to one another can’t be together. If the person

I’m dating is like me, what’s the point of dating them?”

Different things could only be gained from two people who could make up for each other’s flaws, after all.

“But…”

“Okay, I was just saying. Don’t overthink it.”

She stood up and continued, “I promise to tell Old Mr. Joneson to have you discharged from the hospital. Right, I’ll

be leaving now.”

“So soon? Stay and talk to me a bit longer, will you? It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to someone my age. That

old geezer who comes to check on me every day keeps forcing me to take my medicine. I can barely take it

anymore.”

Elspeth turned around with a bright smile. “Shall I find some pretty nurses for you, then?”

Frank’s expression instantly darkened at her words. “Shut up.”

Soon, Elspeth learned of another piece of news. It seemed that someone was behind the scandal between Callum

and Emma this time, fanning the flames and aggravating the situation. Because of this, things at Winthrop Group

were getting out of hand.

Although Elspeth did not intend to interfere with Callum’s affairs, she had put too much effort into Winthrop Group

that she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. Hence, she immediately called Callum.

“Did you find out who’s behind all this?”

“I did. It’s Alphascape Group and Arthur’s work,” Callum said, his exhaustion seeping through his voice.

“Then, what are you going to do?”

He replied nonchalantly, “I’ll go with the flow.”

Elspeth immediately burst with anger at his words. “Go with the flow? What are you thinking, Callum? Are you going

to let Winthrop Group fall into ruin just like this?”

“That’s all I can do for now.”

Elspeth sneered. “You have so many better plans, so why don’t you solve the problem? Didn’t we have proof of

Alphascape Group committing tax fraud? Why are you…”

Before she could finish, Elspeth came to a sudden stop, realizing that she was the only one who had the evidence of

Alphascape Group committing tax frauds, and the photos as well as the recording were still on her phone to this

day. However, because he had greatly wronged her, he would not seek her help at all and would rather watch

Winthrop Group fall.

“Callum, I’ll send the evidence to you.”

However, she froze upon seeing that she had been blocked on WhatsApp.

“I… forgot to block your phone number. From now on, don’t call me anymore.”

Elspeth had no idea what he was thinking when he said that. He hung up the phone after speaking, and when she

called him again, the call no longer went through.

Callum, I’ll help you for one last time.

She took a deep breath and suppressed her mixed feelings as she looked up the phone number of Alphascape

Group headquarters. After getting the evidence last time, she used all kinds of methods to grind away Zain’s

interest.

“Hello, who is this?” A familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone. It was Dominic, whom she had never

seen in a very long time.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Little.”

The voice immediately turned somber. “Elspeth?”

“Yes, Mr. Little. I see you still remember me.”

Dominic was clearly not in a good mood. Having been cheated last time, he was still reluctant to believe that this

sultry-looking woman was actually hiding so many tricks up her sleeve.

“Aren’t you about to marry into the Carr Family? Why are you still in the mood to call me?”

Elspeth laughed slyly. “I have something to ask of you this time, of course. You’re the ones behind Winthrop Group’s

scandal, aren’t you?”

A hint of discomfort could be heard in Dominic’s voice. “What are you talking about? That’s impossible.”

“You should know a hundred times better than I do as to whether you did it or not. I don’t care how you planned this

whole thing and thus framed Winthrop Group, but from now on, I don’t want to see any more negative news about

Winthrop Group.”

Dominic laughed heartily. “What are you talking about? What makes you think you can order me around, Elspeth?”

“Because I have proof of Alphascape Group committing tax fraud in my hands.”

The moment she said that, Elspeth knew for certain that Dominic’s expression must’ve darkened.

“Why should I believe you?”

“If you don’t believe me, Mr. Little, I can read it out loud for you.”

With that, Elspeth immediately started reading out the annual summary of their transactions. She hadn’t realized

earlier, but only then did she find out that Alphascape Group had evaded such a large amount of taxes.

Dominic started sweating profusely at her words. “Okay, enough. Stop reading it.”

“Do you believe me now?”

He hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, I’ll take care of the news about Winthrop Group now! But you have to promise me that

you won’t tell anyone about a single thing you just said to me!”

Elspeth agreed with a smile. The people at Alphascape Group were rather efficient workers. She had just sat down

for a rest when she saw on the news that Winthrop Group’s name had been cleared.

I suppose he won’t have to worry as much now. We’re over, Callum.

…

Back in Damoria, it had been a long time since Matthew last saw Callum, and when he finally managed to look for

him in his office, he saw Callum standing by the window, spacing out in silence.

“What are you thinking?”

Callum snapped back to his senses at his voice, revealing a tired smile as he looked at Matthew’s face. “Nothing.”

“Well, what do we have here? Mr. Winthrop usually looks so arrogant every time he sees me. Why did he smile at

me today?” Matthew’s words carried a hint of teasing.

“I saw that Winthrop Group’s crisis had been lifted. You really are the real deal for dealing with those geezers at

Alphascape Group without saying a word. News coverage of Winthrop Group’s vindication was everywhere today,

did you know that? Even Mr. Little personally made an appearance to defend your company.”

Callum’s eyebrows furrowed. “What did you say?”

“Didn’t you see the news?”

Callum naturally did not see it. His thoughts were in turmoil, Winthrop Group’s finances were tanking, and he had

pulled the plug on Elspeth, so there was no time to spend on useless scandals. However, the moment he saw the

news, he froze. A person popped up in his mind immediately, and without thinking, he knew that this was Elspeth’s

handiwork.

“It wasn’t you?” Matthew scratched his head and asked, “Then, who helped Winthrop Group out of its crisis this

time?”

Callum’s eyes had just met his when he immediately came to a realization.

“Elspeth?”

Callum remained silent.

“Say, don’t you regret losing such a loving person?”

Callum still didn’t reply, but a trace of hurt flashed past his eyes.

After seeing him looking so downcast, Matthew placed both of his hands on his shoulders and asked with shining

eyes, “Why don’t we steal the bride?”
