Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 89

“It’s all Max’s fault. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have left the place in a fit of anger and bumped into my rival’s manager who then kidnapped me.” The thought of Max being intimate with that woman made Yelena’s blood boil.

“You’re mad because you have feelings for him and yet you’re blaming him.”

Knowing that she couldn’t outargue that. Yelena immediately changed the subject. “I remembered that you came for me shortly after. What took you so long?” Yelena was just curious, and she wasn’t blaming Elspeth for the delay.

“Because… a dog got in my way,” Elspeth hissed.

At the same time, Callum, who was at the hospital, suddenly sneezed.

“A dog?” Yelena seemed puzzled as she found it interesting that someone would keep a dog in the bar.

“Alright, you should leave now. Stay close to your brother.”

“What about you?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I want to take a walk alone,” Elspeth said after taking a deep breath.

After she bid goodbye to Yelena, Elspeth took a walk by herself by the river. It was already nighttime and both sides of the river were lit up by streetlights. A few couples were seen being on dates. Suddenly, she heard a

couple arguing.

“It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have lost the treasure hunt competition!” The man sounded

annoyed.

“That’s because you don’t believe in me. You wouldn’t have lost if you believed me!” The woman raised her

voice and responded.

“Believe in you? Why should I? I know you very well and you don’t even play these games. I know you too well.”

“Yeah, yeah! But do you know how much effort I’ve put into the competition? You never saw my change and

you just think I’m the same idiot as before!”

With that, the woman turned around furiously and almost fell into the river. Luckily, the man acted fast enough and grabbed onto her.

“Let go! You should just let me die!”

Hearing that, the man suddenly pulled her into his arms, and he was so startled about the fall earlier that tears

Noticing that she was at fault too, the woman looked down as she apologized, “I’m sorry. I was bitter too.”

Elspeth, who heard their conversation, suddenly came to a realization. Arguments don’t mean that I don’t love

you anymore.

That’s right; it was just an argument, and instead of never seeing each other again, all they had to do was to clear up the misunderstanding since being harsh to each other wouldn’t benefit any of them.

Since Callum and Ophelia grew up together, to him, Margot had seen Ophelia as her daughter, and it wouldn’t make sense for a child to harm her mother. While Elspeth, conversely, had not been on good terms with Margot. Callum didn’t blame her for that since he never scolded her about it but yet, she was being unreasonable.

It was a normal reaction for him to doubt her, but he was willing to talk to her, which showed that he had feelings for her. After thinking it through, Elspeth felt that she could see things clearer now.

To prove her innocence, the most urgent task on hand was to quickly gather the evidence of Ophelia’s doing instead of being entangled in relationship issues. With that in mind, she made a call to Harper and asked

about the progress of Margot’s condition.

“I just rushed back to the company because of this.” Harper chuckled. “I have sent someone on the lookout for the past three days and Ophelia finally showed her true colors. Earlier tonight, she was trying to pull off

Margot’s infusion tube which my men found out and he managed to take pictures.“

“It seems she is worried that she will get into trouble if Margot regains her consciousness.” Upon hearing the good news, Elspeth became more joyful, and her tone of voice became much lighter.

“Miss Lynwood, you sound happy. Did something good happen?” Harper felt at ease when he saw that Elspeth was back to her happy self. He initially thought that she would be disheartened for a while after

what happened between her and Callum. It was out of his expectation that she was able to get back on her feet so soon.

“Nothing. So, how’s the progress on Lydia’s case?”

Hearing that, Harper was thrilled. “The blood stain found in Lydia’s house perfectly matched that of an outlaw who used to be imprisoned in Damoria. He was sentenced to ten years in jail and within two months of being released from jail, he had committed murder. Based on the investigation done by my men, we found out that 20 hours before Lydia’s death, the man had done a transaction with Ophelia. She had transferred 5 million to him. Doesn’t this prove that Ophelia is the one behind all these?”

Elspeth realized that she had wronged Arthur…

“Ophelia is the mastermind behind this homicide!” She finally felt calm after getting the good news.

“Alright, compile the documents tonight and I’ll see Ophelia in the hospital tomorrow morning.” At the same time, she wanted to let Callum see with his own eyes that Ophelia was a hypocrite.

The next morning, Elspeth brought the documents along and headed to the hospital where Margot was

hospitalized. To get rid of Margot, Ophelia had been staying awake for three days straight. She had to put on a facade to deceive Callum although she wasn’t pleased about it.

“Callum, when do you think Margot will wake up?” She pretended to worry about Margot’s condition, but she actually felt uneasy about it.

“Arthur mentioned that she is recovering well so maybe she will wake up in the next two days.” Callum

sounded glad.

However, Ophelia got nervous after hearing that. If Margot regained consciousness, it would mean that the truth about her being the one who pushed Margot down the stairs would be uncovered.

At the same time, Elspeth entered the room, and it startled Ophelia. “You seemed surprised to see me. Did you do something bad?” Elspeth pointed out.

Hearing that, Ophelia avoided making eye contact with her and scoffed, “Elspeth, don’t try to accuse me! Everyone knows that it was you! Why would I harm Margot? She liked me so much. I wouldn’t do something

like that to her!”

Her statement sounded so valid that even Callum was fooled by it. But not Elspeth though.

“If you’re so insistent about that, then let’s let the evidence talk.” Elspeth then tossed the documents on the table and uttered, “Do you want to take a look at it yourself or do you want me to help you with it?”

Seeing that Elspeth came with a bunch of documents made Ophelia even more nervous. “Those are forged evidence! Do you know that it’s a crime to frame someone?”

“Forged, you say? Let’s see if they are forged or real then.” Elspeth then spread the documents out and tossed them onto the table one by one.

“This one shows that you contacted an outlaw and here’s a screenshot of the 5 million transfer that you’ve made to him. You killed Lydia and her family! I never expected that you are behind all those.”

“This picture shows that you’re about to remove Margot’s infusion tube and someone managed to take a picture of it. Isn’t it obvious why you’re trying to do that?”

Ophelia, on the other hand, felt dizzy after seeing those pictures.
