Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 249

“Oh? If you like Emma so much, why are you letting her get together with Callum?”Arthur lowered his

head, and an unfathomable light flashed across his eyes.“That’s because love is a sacrifice.”Love is a

sacrifice, my foot! he thought. In reality, he would eventually snatch Emma back. When Callum’s

reputation was ruined and Arthur had the man under his foot, Emma would return to his

embrace.However, now wasn’t the time.“Fine, I get it. How do you propose we work together?”Eric was

slightly annoyed.Seeing Eric’s reaction, Arthur knew that the former was tempted. Hence, he

continued, “First of all, we have to destroy the Winthrop Group. You see, if Callum loses his financial

stability, do you think Elspeth would still follow him willingly?”Eric smiled. “It looks like you’ve been

planning this for a long time. There must be at least 20 years of history between you two, but you don’t

seem to consider that at all.”“What is there to consider? I want to achieve my goals. That’s my utmost

priority.”Naturally, Arthur was more confident now that success was on the horizon.“In that case, do you

think I’m just like you?”With that, Eric kicked Arthur squarely on the torso, sending him rolling off the

bed.Arthur didn’t have his clothes on, so he could only guard his jewels with his hands. He looked like a

mess.“What exactly are you so gleeful about? Arthur Winthrop, people like you deserve a hundred

deaths!” When Eric pictured Elspeth suffering, he had the urge to tear Arthur apart.Eric dialed a

number. Soon enough, a group of men in black walked in.“Throw this man outside, and don’t let him

wear any clothes.”Arthur widened his eyes. “Y-You can’t do that!”“Why not? Arthur, what you’ve done is

simply disgusting. Even if I let you off the hook, Callum certainly wouldn’t.”Eric grinned coldly.“Don’t

touch me! Stop, don’t touch me—”Arthur couldn’t fight back, so he was frightfully dragged outside and

left alone on the road.Emma was about to beg for mercy on Arthur’s behalf, but when she saw Eric’s

determined expression, she was so scared that she shrunk back, not daring to utter a word.After Arthur

was tossed out, Eric grabbed Emma’s neck with his hand. There was cold bloodlust on his face as he

said, “And you. Remember, if you do anything to harm Elspeth, I won’t let you off either!”Emma was in

so much pain that her tears were threatening to fall. “Understood.”Elspeth, Elspeth again!When Eric

decided that it was enough, he flung her onto the bed. He clapped his hands, and a butler immediately

appeared. “Lock her up,” Eric ordered.“As you wish.”“Don’t go about causing trouble before your face

has healed.”With that, Eric turned around and left.In the hospital, Callum stood guard at the entrance of

the operating room, his heart especially anxious.Not long after, a doctor walked out. “Fortunately, the

patient held her breath underwater for a long time, so she didn’t inhale too much water. Her condition NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

has already stabilized, so you can go in to see her now.”It was only then that Callum relaxed his

creased eyebrows. “Alright, I got it. Thanks, doctor.”“You’re welcome.”Elspeth was sent to the regular

ward. Fearing that Elspeth would be bothered, Callum arranged a VIP suite for her.“You guys can go in

first. I’m still a little wet, so I’ll go and get changed first.” Soon enough, Elspeth regained

consciousness. Not long after she was moved off the operating table, she woke up.Yelena and Max

rushed into the room, whereas Blake slowly trailed behind.As soon as Yelena saw Elspeth, she began

wailing loudly. Because of her reaction, the atmosphere felt a bit off.“Elspeth… I thought you were a

goner… But I’m so glad you’re still alive!” As Yelena spoke, she threw herself into Elspeth’s embrace,

her snot and tears smearing Elspeth’s body.Elspeth was speechless. She had just woken up, so her

voice was slightly weak.“I’m fine. I almost drowned, but I didn’t die.”Yelena’s sobbing instantly ceased.

The next second, she let out a guffaw. “Elspeth, how are you still joking at a time like this?!”Elspeth

said, “Have you considered the possibility that I’m speaking the truth?”Max patted Yelena on the head,

his voice stern as he said, “Elspeth just woke up. Don’t bother her too much.”Yelena nodded. “I know.

I’ve finished what I wanted to say, haven’t I? I was worried sick just now.”At the side, Blake remained

silent. He noticed that Elspeth was a little weak, so he glanced at Max. “Get your girlfriend out of

here.”Max nodded, then bewilderment and worry colored his expression. “I got it. Hang on, Blake—

what girlfriend?”Blake didn’t reply as he glanced at Max nonchalantly.Max’s face turned red. He looked

at Yelena and huffed before he turned around and ran out.Secretly overjoyed, Yelena ran out after

him.In an instant, only Blake and Elspeth remained in the room.Elspeth felt a little awkward. After all,

Blake had confessed to her before. Also, ever since she rejected him, Blake had never properly spoken

to her.“Come on, you don’t have to worry about me. I don’t have feelings for you anymore.”Blake’s

words weren’t quite believable, but when Elspeth looked at his face, she sensed that he seemed to

have accepted the current situation.“I know. You’ll meet someone better.”Elspeth smiled as she

comforted him.“I’m not in a hurry at the moment. As for you two, this is my first time seeing Callum in

such a panic. As such, you can relax and love him boldly. He’s a good man.”When Elspeth saw how

sincere he was, she felt like one of her burdens was lifted.“I got it. Thank you, Blake.”“You’re welcome.

You’re my boss now, so I should make you happy for my betterment, right?” Blake smiled

mischievously. A hint of liveliness was injected into his already handsome and alluring face, and he

looked even more attractive now.“Yeah.”The tension between Elspeth and Blake finally returned to

normal. They chatted happily, so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Callum walking

in.When Callum saw the two chatting harmoniously, his expression instantly sank.Blake noticed that,

and he felt a little gleeful inside.Since Elspeth already belonged to Callum, Blake decided to annoy

Callum a little bit so that it would be worth his while.“By the way, something is off about this

incident.”When Elspeth noticed the odd look on Callum’s face, she hastily changed the topic.Callum

nodded, his expression as cold as always. “I know. I’ve already sent someone to look into it, and we

should receive the results soon.”Elspeth frowned. “Sending just one person would be too slow. I’ll get

another person to help.”With that, she called Harper immediately. However, she heard noises at the bar

coming from the other end of the line.“Elspeth, what’s the matter?”
