Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 204

Elspeth let out a light laugh. “That’s enough. I don’t act, and I won’t join the entertainment circle

either.”After politely refusing the director, she looked at Emma and blinked. “So, Miss Walker, do you

understand what I’ve just said?”All at once, Emma felt like a replacement. Why could she only get what

Elspeth didn’t want? At that thought, she was even more infuriated and instantly took her costume off,

wailing that she would leave the filming site.“My goodness, please don’t leave. I was out of my mind

earlier, but you’re the female lead, how could I give that to someone else?”The director was a guileful Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

man. Knowing that he was unable to convince Elspeth, he hurriedly rushed over to hold Emma

back.Callum had invested three hundred million in this drama and was their largest benefactor; he was

so focused on inviting Elspeth that he nearly forgot about this fact.“Didn’t you like Elspeth more? Go to

her, then. I won’t take part anymore. We’ll withdraw the funds!”Boiling with anger, Emma took out her

phone, her voice full of sobs as she said, “Callum, someone is picking on me onsite. Can you come

over?”With that, she hung up, looking all smug and prideful.“Just wait and see. Callum will be coming

over in a while, and you can be arrogant all you want when he immediately withdraws his funds

then!”Elspeth waited quietly without saying a word. Knowing Callum was about to come here, she felt

mixed emotions emerging in her heart. Her chest grew tight and heavy.As expected, Callum soon

reached the scene. His eyes swept through the crowd, and to his surprise, he spotted Elspeth and

Yelena amongst them.Upon seeing him, Emma immediately rushed forward with a coy expression.

“Callum, they were all picking on me earlier, and Elspeth was even trying to take my place as the

female lead. And the key thing is, the director even agreed! Let’s withdraw our funds. I don’t want to do

this anymore!”“Elspeth wants to be the female lead?” Callum repeated, thinking that her words were

outlandish.Emma’s face soured at his words. “Yeah, she wants to be the female lead.”Elspeth had no

control over what Emma wanted to say, so she let her do as she pleased. Refusing to pay her any

attention, she simply ignored her accusations.However, Yelena was unable to hold herself back and

revealed the truth. “What do you mean by that? You’re just so bad at acting that the director doesn’t

want you anymore. Stop twisting the truth.”Callum’s sharp gaze flicked over to the director.Seeing this,

the director immediately shrunk backward. “I didn’t mean that. I was just thinking it would be a pity for

Elspeth if she didn’t become an actress with her skills, so I wasn’t thinking about what I was saying.”“I

invested three hundred million for Emma to film in peace. Now that you’re planning on letting Elspeth

take her place, I assume that you’re giving up on the money, are you?”Callum’s voice wasn’t loud, but it

carried weight. However, upon hearing this, Elspeth felt her heart sink.“What is up with you, Callum

Winthrop? How can you pick on your current girlfriend by defending your ex? You’re such a

b*stard!”Even when he was faced with Yelena’s accusation, Callum did not falter. “Was what I said

wrong?”By definition, Callum was only preserving his personal interests. He invested the money

because of Emma, and if she was unable to take part in the filming, it would be a loss for him.Elspeth

understood this, but she was getting even more confused now. She failed to understand the reason

why Callum treated Emma so well, to the extent of deliberately ignoring her for Emma’s sake. Was it

really as Emma had said—he had never been able to forget her? And now that Emma reappeared by

his side, he was trying to get rid of her by giving her the cold shoulder? Elspeth lifted her head and

looked into Callum’s eyes. In his gaze, there was no trace of warmth, only an icy cold. Even so, there

was an instant when an inexplicable emotion flashed past his eyes, but it went as quickly as it came,

and Elspeth nearly thought that she had been mistaken.“Let’s go, Yelena.”Elspeth was still unwilling to

believe it. Either way, she had already taught Emma a lesson, so she considered it her victory. She

then turned around and left.After shooting a glare at Callum, Yelena followed suit.Behind them, the

director desperately apologized to his benefactors, nearly going down on his knees and kowtowing to

beg for their forgiveness.Emma scoffed. “Okay, okay. On behalf of your sincerity, I guess I’ll continue

filming.”At this, the director finally smiled. “Yes, thank you, Miss Walker!”Callum ignored what was

happening near him. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Elspeth’s decisively retreating back, his thoughts

complicated.“What are you thinking, Callum? It can’t be about Elspeth, right?” Emma asked

pretentiously, putting on a caring act. “Look, she doesn’t even care about you anymore. Why don’t you

just break up with her already? It’ll be relieving for her too.”Callum didn’t even spare her a single

glance. “It has nothing to do with you.”In fact, Emma had everything to do with it. She had been waiting

all this time to claim the title of Mrs. Winthrop for herself. Still, even though she was angry, Callum had

been fulfilling her every wish recently, making her feel as if she were on cloud nine.“Callum, you should

go back to the hotel. I have to continue filming, so I can’t stay with you.”Callum hummed indifferently in

response.After he left, Emma watched his retreating figure with a triumphant smile. Callum will

definitely belong to me!Meanwhile, Elspeth and Yelena returned to their filming site, where Aiden had

been waiting for Yelena to resume filming. After Yelena was called away to shoot a scene with Blake,

Elspeth sat alone in her seat, spacing out.As their manager, Timothy had been silently standing by their

side. Upon seeing that Elspeth was distracted, he asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you’re in a bad

mood.”Elspeth shook her head with a bitter smile. “Not at all.”“Clearly not, I can tell.” Timothy said

knowingly, “I’ve been your age before, so I understand. You’re having relationship problems, aren’t

you?”She rolled her eyes. “It’s all over the news for everyone to see, all right?”Now, Callum and Emma

were constantly together, and Emma was a public figure, so nothing could remain hidden. Everyone

assumed that Callum and Elspeth’s breakup was just short of an official announcement, and they might

have already cut ties in private.Timothy laughed awkwardly. “I’m just comforting you. Let me tell you,

there are plenty more fish in the sea. Besides, you have amazing conditions, and it’s not like men who

are better than Callum don’t exist. You don’t have to waste your tears over a jerk.”Of course, Elspeth

knew that as well, but she was still hell-bent on her instincts and needed Callum to give her an

explanation.“Okay now. Go and read some books, listen to some songs, and go for a walk. You’ll

eventually let him go.”He could only comfort her this much; nobody could save Elspeth except

herself.Elspeth nodded at his words, her eyes still staring into the distance.Timothy shook his head with

a sigh. Taking out his phone, he was about to scroll through Twitter as a way to pass time when a piece

of news that was gradually taking its place on the trending topics caught his eye.He swiveled around,

his expression turning somber as he asked, “Elspeth, did you meet Emma earlier?”
