Love's Perfect Match

“Oh? If you like Emma so much, why are you letting her get together with Callum?”

Arthur lowered his head, and an unfathomable light flashed across his eyes.

“That’s because love is a sacrifice.”

Love is a sacrifice, my foot! he thought. In reality, he would eventually snatch Emma back. When Callum’s

reputation was ruined and Arthur had the man under his foot, Emma would return to his embrace.

However, now wasn’t the time.

“Fine, I get it. How do you propose we work together?”

Eric was slightly annoyed.

Seeing Eric’s reaction, Arthur knew that the former was tempted. Hence, he continued, “First of all, we have to

destroy the Winthrop Group. You see, if Callum loses his financial stability, do you think Elspeth would still follow him

willingly?”

Eric smiled. “It looks like you’ve been planning this for a long time. There must be at least 20 years of history

between you two, but you don’t seem to consider that at all.”

“What is there to consider? I want to achieve my goals. That’s my utmost priority.”

Naturally, Arthur was more confident now that success was on the horizon.

“In that case, do you think I’m just like you?”

With that, Eric kicked Arthur squarely on the torso, sending him rolling off the bed.

Arthur didn’t have his clothes on, so he could only guard his jewels with his hands. He looked like a mess.

“What exactly are you so gleeful about? Arthur Winthrop, people like you deserve a hundred deaths!” When Eric

pictured Elspeth suffering, he had the urge to tear Arthur apart.

Eric dialed a number. Soon enough, a group of men in black walked in.

“Throw this man outside, and don’t let him wear any clothes.”

Arthur widened his eyes. “Y-You can’t do that!”

“Why not? Arthur, what you’ve done is simply disgusting. Even if I let you off the hook, Callum certainly wouldn’t.”

Eric grinned coldly.

“Don’t touch me! Stop, don’t touch me—”

Arthur couldn’t fight back, so he was frightfully dragged outside and left alone on the road.

Emma was about to beg for mercy on Arthur’s behalf, but when she saw Eric’s determined expression, she was so

scared that she shrunk back, not daring to utter a word.

After Arthur was tossed out, Eric grabbed Emma’s neck with his hand. There was cold bloodlust on his face as he

said, “And you. Remember, if you do anything to harm Elspeth, I won’t let you off either!”

Emma was in so much pain that her tears were threatening to fall. “Understood.”

Elspeth, Elspeth again!

When Eric decided that it was enough, he flung her onto the bed. He clapped his hands, and a butler immediately

appeared. “Lock her up,” Eric ordered.

“As you wish.”

“Don’t go about causing trouble before your face has healed.”

With that, Eric turned around and left.

In the hospital, Callum stood guard at the entrance of the operating room, his heart especially anxious.

Not long after, a doctor walked out. “Fortunately, the patient held her breath underwater for a long time, so she

didn’t inhale too much water. Her condition has already stabilized, so you can go in to see her now.”

It was only then that Callum relaxed his creased eyebrows. “Alright, I got it. Thanks, doctor.”

“You’re welcome.”

Elspeth was sent to the regular ward. Fearing that Elspeth would be bothered, Callum arranged a VIP suite for her.

“You guys can go in first. I’m still a little wet, so I’ll go and get changed first.”

Soon enough, Elspeth regained consciousness. Not long after she was moved off the operating table, she woke up.

Yelena and Max rushed into the room, whereas Blake slowly trailed behind.

As soon as Yelena saw Elspeth, she began wailing loudly. Because of her reaction, the atmosphere felt a bit off.

“Elspeth… I thought you were a goner… But I’m so glad you’re still alive!” As Yelena spoke, she threw herself into

Elspeth’s embrace, her snot and tears smearing Elspeth’s body.

Elspeth was speechless. She had just woken up, so her voice was slightly weak.

“I’m fine. I almost drowned, but I didn’t die.”

Yelena’s sobbing instantly ceased. The next second, she let out a guffaw. “Elspeth, how are you still joking at a time

like this?!”

Elspeth said, “Have you considered the possibility that I’m speaking the truth?”

Max patted Yelena on the head, his voice stern as he said, “Elspeth just woke up. Don’t bother her too much.”

Yelena nodded. “I know. I’ve finished what I wanted to say, haven’t I? I was worried sick just now.”

At the side, Blake remained silent. He noticed that Elspeth was a little weak, so he glanced at Max. “Get your

girlfriend out of here.”

Max nodded, then bewilderment and worry colored his expression. “I got it. Hang on, Blake—what girlfriend?”

Blake didn’t reply as he glanced at Max nonchalantly.

Max’s face turned red. He looked at Yelena and huffed before he turned around and ran out.

Secretly overjoyed, Yelena ran out after him.

In an instant, only Blake and Elspeth remained in the room.

Elspeth felt a little awkward. After all, Blake had confessed to her before. Also, ever since she rejected him, Blake

had never properly spoken to her.

“Come on, you don’t have to worry about me. I don’t have feelings for you anymore.”

Blake’s words weren’t quite believable, but when Elspeth looked at his face, she sensed that he seemed to have

accepted the current situation.

“I know. You’ll meet someone better.”

Elspeth smiled as she comforted him.

“I’m not in a hurry at the moment. As for you two, this is my first time seeing Callum in such a panic. As such, you

can relax and love him boldly. He’s a good man.”

When Elspeth saw how sincere he was, she felt like one of her burdens was lifted.

“I got it. Thank you, Blake.”

“You’re welcome. You’re my boss now, so I should make you happy for my betterment, right?” Blake smiled

mischievously. A hint of liveliness was injected into his already handsome and alluring face, and he looked even

more attractive now.

“Yeah.”

The tension between Elspeth and Blake finally returned to normal. They chatted happily, so engrossed in their

conversation that they didn’t notice Callum walking in.

When Callum saw the two chatting harmoniously, his expression instantly sank.

Blake noticed that, and he felt a little gleeful inside.

Since Elspeth already belonged to Callum, Blake decided to annoy Callum a little bit so that it would be worth his

while.

“By the way, something is off about this incident.”

When Elspeth noticed the odd look on Callum’s face, she hastily changed the topic.

Callum nodded, his expression as cold as always. “I know. I’ve already sent someone to look into it, and we should

receive the results soon.”

Elspeth frowned. “Sending just one person would be too slow. I’ll get another person to help.”

With that, she called Harper immediately. However, she heard noises at the bar coming from the other end of the

line.

“Elspeth, what’s the matter?”
