Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 251

Elspeth’s words caused a ripple to spread through Lisa’s heart.“No.”When Elspeth heard Lisa’s awkward reply, she was in glee.The young lady never lied, so she probably wasn’t in a relationship, but she had probably met someone she liked.“I see.” Elspeth shrugged, then continued, “Right, I wanted to see you because I have something I need your help with. I need to look into something.”Lisa nodded emotionlessly. “I know. Harper told me everything.”“Good. How long do you need to figure it out?”“Half a day.”Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “Half a day… That can do. See me again in 12 hours.”Lisa nodded, then walked out. Throughout the whole process, she didn’t even spare a glance at Callum.“This subordinate of yours… is quite odd.” Callum eventually settled on this comment.Elspeth smiled. “What’s the matter? Are you interested in this young lady?”Even though she hadn’t said anything, he could still hear the jealousy in her tone.She is jealous. Callum smiled as he took Elspeth into his embrace, touching her nose as he said, “What are you thinking? That’s nonsense.”Elspeth huffed and turned around, refusing to look at him.In the afternoon, Lisa visited again as expected.Noticing Elspeth’s faint smile, Lisa said calmly, “I’ve looked into it. Arthur was the one behind this.”“How did he do it?”“He was the one who sent someone to lie in wait underwater, and the person deliberately dragged you into the water. He was trying to drown you.”As Lisa spoke, she glanced at Elspeth’s expression.Elspeth suppressed the rage in her heart as she asked, “In that case, where is Arthur now?”“However… someone else has already taken care of Arthur.”Elspeth was immediately stunned. “Who?”“I’m not sure, but I heard that Arthur was left naked at the intersection of Terrace Street. A group of bodyguards stood guard while everyone looked at him. After that, Arthur felt so embarrassed that he removed all the headlines and hashtags overnight. As such, only a handful of people know about this incident.”Terrace Street… Isn’t that the street next to Emma’s villa? Elspeth suddenly remembered the secrets she had heard before. When she recalled all the dirty business between Emma and Arthur, she immediately understood everything.“After sending you to the hospital, Eric disappeared for a while,” Callum stated indifferently.“It must be Eric’s doing, then. Judging from his casual behavior, I didn’t know he could be this cruel.”Stripped naked and tossed out into the streets for everyone to see… Arthur was

probably beyond pissed to have endured such humiliation.When Elspeth imagined Arthur’s flustered look, she couldn’t help laughing.Lisa nodded slightly. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. You can call me whenever you need help.”Elspeth took the opportunity to ask, “Lisa, do you have a place to stay?”It was only then that Lisa realized she didn’t even have a place to lodge. She thought for a bit, then said calmly, “It’s okay. I can stay at the hotel for the time being.”Since the expenses were necessary for work, she could claim reimbursement from Harper.“Harper should have told you that you’re my private investigator now. Don’t you want to stay with me?” Elspeth winked a little alluringly.She didn’t mind the expenses; she was just worried about Lisa’s safety. After all, Lisa was a beautiful young lady, and Elspeth feared that she might get bullied.“Well…” Lisa turned her gaze at Callum, who was standing next to Elspeth. Seeing the man’s equally cold expression, she spoke hesitantly. “It’s okay, don’t mind him. I’m not living with him.”Callum spoke up. “But—”Elspeth glared viciously at him, then said to Lisa, “We can stay at my villa. If you’re okay with it, we’ll be staying there for the time being.”“Is it the one next to Jordan’s place?”When Callum remembered Jordan constantly teasing Elspeth back then, he was infuriated. “I can give you a villa near Winthrop Group.”He was hinting that she couldn’t run away from him.“Callum, you’re not making me go back to work at the Winthrop Group, are you?”Callum nodded and said without hesitation, “Well, you’ve been co-president for so long, so what’s stopping you from continuing?”“What about Edmund?”Callum curved his lips. “Edmund will be coming back to work as well. So what if a company has two co-presidents? Are you worried that he might take your place?”Elspeth said with a fake smile, “I was worried I’d be taking somebody’s place!”“That’s not a problem. He said that you can take care of all the work, and he just wants to be a co-president on paper and slack off. Hence, you won’t be idling around.”She frowned. “In that case, the Winthrops are just treating me like an employee, huh?”“If you marry me, the Winthrop Group will eventually be yours. Shouldn’t you put in a little effort for the company you’ll own?”Callum patiently advised, acting as if he could immediately write up a document to transfer the Winthrop Group’s shares as soon as Elspeth married him.Elspeth blinked. “Are you saying that I can merge the Winthrop Group with Azure?”He didn’t mind that one bit. “Sure, as long as you’re happy with it.”“Good. There’s no turning back on your word now.”When Callum saw the cunning look on Elspeth’s face, his

heart melted. He didn’t even bother assessing if it was a worthy venture or not as he nodded. “Of course.”“Love you!” Elspeth hugged Callum and planted a kiss on his cheek.As Lisa listened to their conversation, a pink tint crept onto her face.“I almost forgot. Lisa is still here.” Elspeth’s face turned red in embarrassment. When she saw how uncomfortable Lisa was, she coughed and said, “I’ll give you the keys to the villa, and I’ll also give you a card to buy everything you need. You can go back to tidy up first.”With that, she turned around and opened her palm. “Give me the room keys and send me the location while you’re at it.”Lisa suddenly spoke up. “I know the location of Mr. Winthrop’s villa, so you just have to give me the keys. I don’t need the card either. I still have some money from Harper.”Callum looked at her, amused. “Oh? You’ve even thoroughly investigated all my properties.”Lisa would never tell him that Harper had gotten someone to investigate everything about Callum, for he feared that Elspeth would get cheated on.“It’s part of work, after all.” Anything concerning Elspeth could be considered work.When Elspeth heard that Lisa didn’t want the money, she said in fake anger, “What does Harper have to do with me giving you money? How much did he give you?”Lisa said honestly, “Three million.”“What can you buy with just three million?” Elspeth rolled her eyes and produced a platinum card. “Here’s 30 million. Take it. I’ll top up the card when it runs out, so don’t worry.”Lisa was stunned. As expected of a president, Elspeth was indeed wealthy.While holding the keys and the platinum card, Lisa went out. She hadn’t walked far when she bumped into Blake, who had come to visit.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
