Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 269

Ever since that day, Emma never appeared in the public eye again. Her drama, ‘Song of Viollenys’ had

been taken down due to poor viewership. Soon, the central television station announced that they

would be taking down any works that were related to Emma due to her poor character. This also made

the actors that had collaborated with Emma hate her.Elspeth, on the other hand, was named The

Nation’s Idol because of her drama. Since the beginning, she was indifferent about joining showbiz but

now, she became the hottest star. She was really lucky. Meanwhile, the director kept his word by

sending the drama over and signing the contract. Elspeth had assigned this task to Timothy and he had

full authority over this. He could even get the funds directly from the finance department if there was a

shortage of funds.However, Elspeth was more puzzled about that day when Callum was secretly doing

something by himself instead of for her drama. He had been somewhat mysterious the past few days.

These days, she had been staying in the Winthrop Residence and hadn’t returned to her villa. Thus,

she didn’t know what happened to Lisa.Elspeth’s call was answered after two rings. “Hi, who is this?”Is

that Blake? She was so startled that she almost dropped the phone. “Blake, tell me the truth. Why do

you have Lisa’s phone?”Elspeth had an ominous feeling that her dear Lisa had been taken by an

unworthy man and yet, she didn’t know about it.“Erm… She’s in the hospital. I’m taking care of her…”

Blake’s voice quavered and he sounded guilty.“Hospital?!” Elspeth’s head started spinning and she

didn’t care about the relationship between them anymore. “What happened? Send me the address

now. I’ll be there real soon!” Seeing that they couldn’t hide the incident from her anymore, Blake

obediently sent her the address.When Elspeth arrived at the hospital, she saw Lisa lying on the bed

with a long face and Blake was sitting next to her while skinning an apple.“Elspeth, you’re

here!”Hearing that, Lisa tried to sit up as she called out, “Elspeth…”Seeing that, Elspeth made her lay

down again.“Alright, alright. Tell me why you’re at the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?” Elspeth looked

concerned, but Lisa was too embarrassed to speak.“I’m fine. I just got poisoned. I’m recovering well so

I’ll be discharged tomorrow,” she explained as she coughed.The next moment, Elspeth turned to look at

Blake and said, “Your turn.”Blake blinked his eyes and spoke the truth as he was startled by Elspeth’s

cold tone. “The other day when Lisa was poisoned, I happened to be looking for you, so I gave her a

call and ended up saving her.”He couldn’t tell her what poison it was, or else Elspeth might

misunderstand him and take him as a man who took advantage of others. He was worried that she

might start ignoring him.“What poison?” Elspeth insisted on knowing the truth. Hearing that, Lisa

blushed and didn’t dare to speak when she looked at Elspeth.“Speak.”Seeing that Lisa was placed in a

tough position, Blake had no choice but to reveal the truth. “She had taken a love potion mixed with

poison.”Elspeth’s head went blank upon hearing that. She realized that this was the reason why Blake

had gone missing and that she wasn’t able to contact Lisa. “The both of you…” “Nothing happened

between us! Don’t even think about it!” Blake quickly explained.“Elspeth, it’s true. He sent me to the

hospital that night and nothing happened between us.” There was a hint of embarrassment in Lisa’s

gaze.“Alright, then.” Elspeth heaved a sigh of relief. She knew how Blake felt about her, so if he did

sleep with Lisa, she would feel bad for the other woman.“Since you’re fine, I’ll look for Callum and

discuss something with him. Rest well.” Just as Elspeth was about to leave, Blake called out to her.

“Elspeth, is it about your engagement?”“How did you know?” She was surprised.“Of course, I know

about it!” Blake smiled bitterly before continuing, “The whole Winthrop Family knew about it since

Callum announced it.”Announced… He sure is a big show-off! Elspeth laughed resignedly and

prepared to settle accounts with Callum later on.“Hey, do you like Elspeth?” Lisa asked the dispirited

Blake after Elspeth left.“Hahaha! Is it that obvious? Even you can tell.”Lisa bit her lip and probed, “Was

the reason you… didn’t do it with me because you like Elspeth?”Blake was surprised to hear that and

he gazed at her, but she looked away. “No, I felt like I shouldn’t taint your reputation.”Since he was a

man of integrity, he wouldn’t have taken advantage of her.“If you like her, then why don’t you fight for

her?”“I won’t be able to win her heart.” Blake sighed. “She doesn’t like me. Moreover, Callum is more

outstanding, so it’s right for her to like him.”“Who says so? I think you’re nice.”Lisa’s words made him

smile. Since Blake was a handsome man, he looked even more attractive when he smiled and Lisa,

who never wanted anything for herself, was mesmerized by his smile.“Alright, let’s not talk about this

anymore. Do you eat peaches? I’ll slice them up for you…”…Before long, Elspeth had arrived at the Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Winthrop Group’s CEO’s office. Callum was going through some documents. When he noticed her, he

passed her the papers before she could say anything. “You came at the right time. Go through these

documents. Is there something wrong with it?”Elspeth suppressed her anger and read through the

wordy documents which gave her a headache. “I don’t think there’s any problem with it.”“There are

unreasonable clauses in the contract, and you didn’t spot them. What happened? You seemed

distracted.” Callum frowned.Elspeth punched him on the chest and asked, “It’s all because of you. Did

you announce to the Winthrops that both of us are getting engaged?”“I did that to keep off love rivals,”

Callum stated firmly and proudly.“Love rivals? You mean Blake?”He glanced at her and said, “You

know it too, but I think he has put the thought off since he is too embarrassed to face you.”When

Elspeth heard that, she suddenly recalled what happened earlier. “Do you know about what happened

between the both of them?”“You’re the silly one who passed out after being poisoned by someone.

That’s why you didn’t see anything.” He tapped the tip of her nose.“Which base did they get to?”

Elspeth was wide-eyed.“The base where we didn’t get to,” Callum smirked as he leaned forward.
