Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 208

The young lady’s lips parted. “I-I have no idea.”Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “You have no idea? Then

who gave you this and made you do it?”The young lady turned pale. “I-It was a stranger who made me

do it. She said the grass would cause diarrhea, which could then cause the filming to be postponed.

But I never thought it’d cause poisoning—”Elspeth let out a laugh. “How much were you paid to do

this?”“A hundred thousand in cash.”Just a hundred thousand in cash? That’s so stingy of Emma,

thought Elspeth. “What’s your name?”The young lady hemmed and hawed for a moment.

Nevertheless, she answered honestly, “My name’s Alicia Thornton.”Figuring out what had happened,

Elspeth shook her head in resignation. “I called the police just now. You’d better turn yourself in;

perhaps you’ll get a lighter sentence.”I’m going to jail… Alicia broke down at once; she slumped to the

ground and burst into loud sobs.Elspeth was in no mood to hear her wailing, though. Instead, she

dialed Callum’s number.“What’s the matter?” Callum sounded cool and distant over the

phone.Elspeth’s chilly voice sounded even more heartless than the man’s. “Please tell Emma that I

won’t let her off if she does something against my interests again.”Callum’s imperturbable voice finally

showed a hint of emotion when he noticed that something was wrong with her voice. “Did she do

anything again?”Elspeth let out a soft sneer that sounded even chillier than the freezing winter. “She

knows in her heart what she has done. Just keep in mind to pass on the message for me.”Callum fell

silent for a moment. Then, he said, “I’m sorry. I’ll compensate for the losses she caused.”Elspeth

sneered in bitter disappointment. “Callum, why do you need to take responsibility for what she does?

What are you, her dad?”Callum didn’t say a word in response to such jibes, but Elspeth sensed that the

man’s breathing became somewhat heavier on the other end of the line. “Alright then, protect her if you

want,” she said before hanging up right away. Then, she called Harper, saying, “Harper, help me look

into Emma’s recent transaction records or the transaction records of those close to her. Mark the

transaction that was worth one hundred thousand and made to one Alicia Thornton.”Anger welled up

inside Harper when he recalled the person whom he had met last time. “Did that woman get someone

to hurt you again?”Elspeth let out a snort. “Yeah. She’s really quite something.”“Take it easy, Elspeth.

I’ll make her feel sorry for that.” Harper smiled. Then, he immediately hung up the phone before

Elspeth could realize what he meant.Harper was quick in doing things. Soon after the phone call,

Emma came to Elspeth of her own accord.Elspeth was resting on the couch on the filming set when

Emma suddenly barged in and raised her hand in an attempt to slap her. However, the pain didn’t hit

Elspeth as she had expected; she caught hold of her hand and flung it away, causing her to lurch

backward.“Darn you, Elspeth!” Emma snarled furiously. She growled, “What the f*ck did you do? Why

did you have to hurt me like that?!”Surprised, Elspeth asked, “What do you mean?”“Still playing dumb,

huh? Why did you spread slanderous rumors about me on the internet?”Wait a minute. When did I

slander her? All I did just now was ask Harper to look into her, so he probably has exposed her for who

she really is on the internet by now, thought Elspeth. “How did I slander you? Don’t you have a clue

about what you’ve done?” she retorted, looking totally at ease with her arms folded across her

chest.Emma was obviously beside herself with rage. “See it for yourself!” She took out her phone and

flung it to Elspeth’s side. Elspeth picked it up and looked at its screen, on which Emma’s photo was

apparently shown. In the photo, Emma was drinking with a bunch of foreigners with a coquettish smile Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

on her face. Not only that, but one of the foreigners had his arm around her waist, while the other even

daringly kissed her on the cheek.The photo was tagged with the hashtags

#AFilthyB*tchBeneathHerAngelicPersona and

#AViciousGoodyTwoShoesWhoPoisonedPeopleInPrivate.So, this is what Harper meant by ‘making her

feel sorry’… Elspeth couldn’t hide her amusement as she looked at the photo. “What’s wrong, Miss

Walker? Aren’t you the woman in the photo? But I really never expected you to have such a… wild side

to you.”Although she used the term ‘wild,’ Emma knew full well that she had deliberately said that to

turn her stomach. “Who let you spread these photos online?!” She was on the verge of a mental

breakdown. Never did she think Elspeth could actually find these things!“Oh,” Elspeth responded.

“What makes you so sure that these things are my doing, Miss Walker?”Emma gnashed her teeth in

hatred. “Who else would spread these photos online if not you?”Elspeth replied, “Emma, I told you long

ago not to get under my skin, or I won’t let you get away with it. Didn’t Callum pass this on to

you?”Emma was startled for a moment. The next instant, she said with a coquettish giggle, “Callum

didn’t tell me that, of course. He knows my character better than anyone else does. On the contrary, he

told me to stay away from you, saying that you’re bad-tempered, eccentric, and very vengeful.”Elspeth

raised an eyebrow. “Did he really say that?”Emma’s giggles were fiendish and grating to the ear. “Of

course. He also said he’d dump you and go out with me very soon. Just wait until he breaks up with

you!”Elspeth merely picked her ears after listening to her words. “Okay, I’ll wait for it, then.

Goodbye.”Seeing Elspeth like this, Emma was exasperated, but she couldn’t do anything about it. In

the end, she hurled several threats at Elspeth before leaving resolutely.When Elspeth saw the news

again, Emma’s public relations team had come out and explained everything on her behalf, claiming

that the poisoning was committed by one of her close aides who was out of control. The photos were

claimed to be composites, in which case Emma’s face was planted on the woman in the photos using

deepfake technology.The netizens seemed to buy the story, but some found out and revealed that

Emma had a profligate lifestyle abroad, causing her to lose a large number of fans.However, such

information was deleted soon after that.Elspeth knew it was probably Callum who helped Emma cover

her *ss to protect her dignity. At the thought of this, she felt very irritable, so she drove to a well-known

local bar right away. Before leaving the filming set, she told Blake to make sure that Yelena was doing

her acting job. She also asked Blake and Max to protect her together without giving any opportunity to

those who might have designs on her.Max nodded with a chivalrous expression while vowing to keep

an eye on Yelena.Yelena pulled a long face as a bout of despair overcame her.After saying goodbye to

the three, Elspeth went to the bar.The bar wasn’t far from the filming set. When Elspeth arrived, it

happened to be 6.00PM. The sky darkened early in winter, so it was already dark at the time. In the

darkness of night, she stepped into the bar, but a figure followed her inside before she could sit down

and have a drink.Elspeth didn’t recognize the man when she first looked at him. Upon taking a closer

look, she immediately tensed up as though the man were a formidable enemy. As she had expected, it

was Jordan again.She didn’t understand why Jordan would never leave her alone, so she looked at

him with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. “What’s wrong with you, Mr. Carr? Are you fond of stalking

someone?”
