Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 192

“Yes, she’s a big celebrity,” someone from the crowd said. “There’s no way she would be forgotten.

Emma is so humble.”The girls standing around them were avid fans of Emma. All of them thought

Emma had a conflicted look on her face because she was embarrassed.“See? Everyone thinks you’re

feeling guilty,” Elspeth said, smiling brightly at Emma. “Oh, wait. They think you’re humble. It is only a NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

phone call, Miss Walker. It’s nothing big.”Emma gritted her teeth and kept quiet, too scared to

speak.The call went through. Harper was sleeping when Elspeth called, so he answered the call with

messy hair and a sleepy look in his eyes. Even so, his attractiveness could not be hidden.“What is it,

Elsie?” he asked.Emma had been hoping Harper would actually be the seller she had contacted, but

her heart sank when she saw his face.“Is the Heart of Rupert still with you?” Elspeth asked.Harper took

a sip of water to wake himself up. “Yes. Why?”“A woman here says you sold her the watch. Can you

see if it’s her?”When Harper spotted the awkward smile on Emma’s face, he frowned. “Who is this?

Why would I sell off the watch? You know I only buy watches, and I never sell anything.”“Forget about

her. Can you show everyone here the watch?” Elspeth asked.She was afraid the crowd would think she

was lying. If Emma seized the chance to pull the wool over their eyes, her reputation would be smeared

again.However, Harper was confused but still brought out the watch from his collection. The moment

the box opened, everyone’s eyes were glued to it. It was gleaming with a faint blue glow surrounding it.

A red diamond heart was embedded in the center of the watch. It looked so much more dazzling than

the watch Emma gave Mr. Winthrop.“If that’s all, I’m going back to bed.” He shrugged and hung up right

after saying that.Elspeth looked at Emma’s pale face and doubtfully asked, “Why don’t you explain

where you got that watch from, Miss Walker?”“I-I assigned the task to someone else,” Emma replied,

stuttering. “I spent quite a few million on it. I didn’t think—”“Yes, it doesn’t matter if you bought an

imitation product,” Elspeth interrupted. “The most revolting people are those who intentionally buy

imitation products.” The smirk on her face was so menacing that Emma nearly fainted.“You don’t look

well, Miss Walker,” she continued. “Do you feel dizzy? If you do, feel free to pass out right now. If you’re

unconscious, you don’t care how others see you.”Emma was prepared to pretend to faint, but when

she heard that, she froze, unsure what to do. If she had passed out at that moment, she would have

fallen into Elspeth’s trap.“Of course not. Naturally, I am willing to—” Emma said.“You’re willing to

apologize?” Elspeth interrupted once more. “You’re a public figure, though. It would be bad if the media

found out what you did.”She spoke as if she was merely reminding Emma, but her words were meant

for the journalists standing around them that it was also major news. The journalists swiftly understood

Elspeth’s words and began taking photos while their pens raced across their notepads.“Hurry and

apologize now, Miss Walker. Otherwise, your reputation will suffer when they break the news,” she

continued.Elspeth beamed a smile at Emma, but her cheeks and lips were left uncharacteristically

unsmiling.“I’m sorry,” Emma declared to the crowd. “I did not mean to buy an imitation product. I only

wanted to surprise Mr. Winthrop—”When they saw tears roll down her cheek, their hearts softened.

“Let’s not nitpick about this. After all, she did it with good intentions. She didn’t know it was an imitation

watch.” “Yeah,” said another member of the crowd. “Emma is not that kind of evil person. I believe in

her.”Seeing that the crowd forgave her because of a few drops of tears, Emma immediately began

crying harder.“Stop crying, Miss Walker. If you keep on like that, everyone will start to think I’m bullying

you,” said Elspeth.“Elspeth, I know you don’t like me, but you didn’t need to be so hostile,” Emma

replied, sniffling.Seeing that the crowd was starting to defend Emma, Elspeth chuckled. “Hostile? Miss

Walker, don’t you think you should go to an appraiser whenever you buy something? You are a public

figure. One single mistake would negatively affect your career.”Emma shouted in her mind, Stop

talking! She was panicking hard inside but still had to act feeble and meek. It was ridiculously hard for

her.“Look at how tactless Elspeth is while Emma is always so kind and gentle,” someone whispered.

“So, what if she bought an imitation watch? Who can ensure they would never make a mistake like that

in their entire life?”Hearing that, Elspeth turned to look at the speaker. It was a young girl who seemed

pretty well-off. Judging by how she dressed, she looked like someone from new money.“You mean to

say you have bought imitation products before?” Elspeth asked.“Of course,” the girl replied with a huff.

“No one can be certain they would never buy imitation products. This is merely an accident.”“Wait. Who

told you everyone would buy an imitation product at some point?” Elspeth found that statement

hilarious as she looked at the girl disdainfully. “Pardon me, but I became a certified appraiser at

sixteen. Not once in my life have I bought anything fake. Not everyone is like you; even after buying a

fake product, you’re proud of that fact instead of reflecting on your mistake.”It was a slap in the face for

the girl, making her clench her jaw in anger. Still, there was nothing she could retort.As for Emma, she

was feeling increasingly humiliated. Someone stepped up to defend her, only to be disgraced. That

meant she was indirectly disgraced as well.“Elspeth, forgiveness is a virtue,” Emma said. Her eyes had

softened as though the incident had taken the wind out of her sails.Forgiveness is a virtue; that is not a

phrase she deserves to use. Elspeth glanced at her before smiling gently, “Well, please remember to

be careful in the future. Don’t ever let your plans be leaked.”Emma glared at her before scurrying

away.With that, the encounter was over. As Elspeth stretched, Callum returned from the bathroom. The

victorious look on her allowed him to guess what had happened.“She was annoying you again?” he

asked. Then, he picked up a tiny cake from the plate nearby to feed it to her.“Yes,” Elspeth replied. Her

eyes slid close in satisfaction. “It’s fine, though. She can’t win in a fight against me.”“I know, but you

should still avoid going toe to toe with her.” Callum already had a plan in the works.“What? Are you

feeling sorry for your poor first love? Are you scared that I might bully her?” she shot back.“No way,” he

replied, shaking his head. “I am worried for your sake. She is a popular and in-demand star in the

country. If you anger her, her brainless fans will never forgive you.”Elspeth was not afraid of that

possibility at all. Instead, she was more worried that Emma could continue to stay in Damoria if she

kept causing trouble like that.“Callum, is Arthur coming?”He pursed his lips as a dark look flashed

across his eyes. “Yes, but he is not here yet, so I’m not sure if he will actually come.”She was shocked

to hear that. There were so many journalists here. Would Arthur not be in an awkward position if he

came? Speak of the devil; soon after their conversation, there was a commotion at the door. The crowd

was whispering louder than when Emma arrived.
