Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Without flinching, Elspeth turned her attention to Emma and smiled a bloodthirsty grin. “I have tolerated

you for a long time, Emma. Are you sure you want to continue angering me?”

Suddenly, Emma felt shivers run down her spine at the sight of her, but she kept her back straight

because she still had the upper hand. “You’re the one who is in the wrong here. Enough with the

nonsense.”

“Do you see me trembling in fear? Send it if you have the courage, Emma, but if you can’t bring

yourself to do so, then stop bothering me.”

In response, Emma huffed coldly, “Who said I couldn’t?” She then initiated a chat with Callum and

prepared to send the video to him.

Nevertheless, Elspeth remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Emma’s face twisted into an ugly look. “He blocked me… Did you do this?” She had not

expected Elspeth to have such a trump card in her sleeve.

“It’s fine. Cal will see it eventually.” Emma ran her fingers through her hair as a radiant smile spread

across her face. “Tomorrow, I will hand-deliver the video to him personally.”

Then, Elspeth raised her head and glanced at the entrance, which was immediately locked from the

inside. “Before coming here to trouble me, did it ever occur to you that this is my domain?” she asked.

At that moment, Emma’s smile immediately faded. “What do you want, Elspeth?” All of a sudden, she

felt anxious. She believed Elspeth would beg and plead in fear because she possessed the upper

hand. However, she never anticipated the unexpected turn of events.

“What do I want? I only want to properly welcome you.” Following that, Elspeth smirked and waved her

hand. Soon, a few burly, fierce-looking men approached them.

The sight made Emma’s legs tremble in fear. So, she backed off a few steps before making a break for

it, but she ended up running straight into a muscular chest and fell on the floor.

“Who’s this, Elspeth?”

It turned out that the person Emma had run into was a man named Gilbert Payne. He was a large man

with exceptionally toned muscles. Moreover, he exemplified the ideal tough guy every girl fantasizes

about.

“This is someone who bothers me every single day. She gives me such a headache.”

“What’s her name?” He could not help but notice that Emma looked vaguely familiar, so he inquired.

“Emma Walker,” Elspeth answered.

Then, he squinted his eyes and froze. “Elspeth, can we not do anything to her?”

“Why? Do you like her? I’m warning you; she’s a very evil woman who has gotten together with many

men by now.” She frowned in disgust.

“Of course not. I’m not interested in her.” Gilbert frowned and lifted Emma’s chin to stare at her face. A

few seconds later, he withdrew his hand. “However, I am extremely interested in someone close to her.”

Suddenly, Emma was so humiliated that she could not raise her head. When she glanced at Elspeth,

hate burned in her. How dare she embarrass me in front of so many people! I will never forgive her.

With that in mind, she allowed a hint of meekness in her eyes and looked at him. “Sir, it’s not as she

says. She’s the one bothering me. I—”

“You don’t have to say anything to me,” Gilbert interrupted. “I’m not interested.” His words confused

everyone around him. He did not like her, yet he did not want anything to happen to her; what were his

intentions?

“Ah!” Emma’s face went stark pale as her pounding heart sank. He is not here to save me.

Suddenly, Elspeth scoffed coldly, “Fine. Since you asked, I’ll let her go unscathed. Still, I want that

video on her phone to be deleted.”

He nodded and said, “That is none of my business.”

She then looked at Emma, who was on the floor, and sneered, “Give me your phone.”

That was the only thing she could use to smear Elspeth’s reputation, so she refused to hand it over.

However, Elspeth was standing right before her with a spine-chilling smile on her lips. When Emma

saw that, she did not dare to hide her phone anymore, so she had no choice but to hand it over.

Later, Elspeth reached for the phone and tapped into the gallery app. As expected, there was a video

recording of the entire incident, and Gilbert was even included in the footage. Soon, with a few more

taps, all relevant photos and videos were deleted. Before throwing Emma’s phone back, she even

emptied the trash section.

“Well, I’ll be leaving her to you now.” She languidly stretched before leaving the room.

Then, he nodded before glancing at the other men. “Bring her to my room.”

After hearing that, Emma gulped loudly. “Where are you taking me to?”

Despite her fear, she was still convinced that Gilbert was enthralled by her. Otherwise, why would he

have her brought back to his room? As expected, all men were great actors. They might appear

virtuous on the surface, but every one of them was a beast.

Afterward, she gave him a thorough once-over and pondered, It won’t be such a bad idea to do the

deed with him. Soon, all her fantasies vanished after she was thrown into his room.

Meanwhile, he stared down at her in the room with hatred flashing in his eyes. “You have a younger

sister called Ginna, right?”

“Y-Yes, but she’s currently abroad. I have not seen her in a long time.” Emma was being deceptive in

her response.

If he knew my sister and they parted amicably, I could use that to my advantage, and he could help me

in my plot against Elspeth. However, if they split up on bad terms, I might not be a target for his rage

because I haven’t seen my sister in years.

Suddenly, Gilbert’s overwhelming anger died down a little. “Do you know of her boyfriend from

abroad?”

“I don’t. Why do you ask that? Are you her boyfriend?” While Emma was happy to hear that he was his

sister’s boyfriend, she was jealous of Ginna’s luck. How could my sister have such good luck with men

while I have to suffer for years and even be shunned by Callum?

He nodded. “Yes, that’s me. Do you know where she is?”

“I don’t. Isn’t she studying abroad? What is it? Could it be—”

“You are her sister, yet you don’t even know where she is right now.” Gilbert sneered and said, “She

returned about two weeks ago.”

However, she was unaware that her sister had returned. She had been such a failure lately that Ginna

would never approach her, even after flying back home.

“Well, that’s it.” At that moment, there was a trace of exhaustion in his aloof face. “You can leave.”

Nonetheless, Emma had planned to ask him a few more questions, but when she noticed his

annoyance, she swiftly dashed out of the room.

When she stepped out of the building, she immediately called Ginna. She dialed her sister’s old

number, which Ginna used after returning home. Therefore, when she made the call, it did not go

through, so she kept calling. After more than a dozen calls, she finally heard her sister’s lazy voice.

“Hey, sis. What do you want?”

There was an eerie smile on Emma’s face. “I need your help, Ginna.”
