Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 284

Elspeth went directly to the CEO’s office and confronted Callum face-to-face.When he saw the rage in

her eyes, his heart sank. “What brings you here all of a sudden, Elspeth?”“If I hadn’t asked you about it,

were you going to keep it a secret from me? Are we even engaged? Why are you still treating me like

an outsider?”Suddenly, her list of questions made him speechless.“I didn’t intend to make you feel that

way.”Soon, her gaze turned colder, and she said, “Then, show me this quarter’s proposal.”However,

Callum did not do as Elspeth said, and that was enough to prove his stance.“Fine. You aren’t going to

show me, are you? I’ll investigate on my own, then!”She took a deep breath to calm down the anger

that was building inside of her. Then, she threatened, “I’ll call Lisa and ask her what you did to Winthrop

Group. This is definitely not a mistake you should make.”That statement rendered him speechless for a

moment before he spoke, “I’ll show you.”When the proposal was placed in front of Elspeth, she

struggled mentally. When she flipped the proposal pages, it was clearly stated that the shares of one of

the company subsidiaries would be given to Miss Emma Walker at no cost.E-Emma Walker?!“Are you

going to tell me that you took pity on Emma and will hand this subsidiary over to her?” She instantly

froze after reading the proposal.“No. It’s not like that.” He wanted to elaborate but chose to say nothing

upon further reflection.When Callum stopped talking, Elspeth turned her head and looked at him

somberly. “Do you mind giving me a reasonable explanation, then?” It suddenly dawned on her that

she had, in fact, lost control and said some hurtful things earlier, but the expression on his face caused

her heart to soften.“I can’t tell you the reason for the time being, but as long as I give away this

company, Winthrop Group will not suffer any losses.”In his heart, he was more concerned about her

than the company.“What would you call this if not a loss? No matter what, I need you to tell me the

truth. If you don’t tell me, I’ll figure it out myself.” Elspeth declared with assurance, knowing there was

nothing her abilities could not uncover.Seeing how adamant she was, Callum sighed, “I thought I could

settle this matter without telling you, but I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.”Narrowing her eyes,

she questioned, “So, are you going to tell me or not?”“It’s Arthur.”“Him again? Why is he stirring up

trouble this time?”After a pause, Callum glanced at Elspeth with a meaningful look. “It’s about

you.”“Okay. Go on.”“Arthur threatened me with your private affairs. He said that if I didn’t want your

affairs to be exposed, I had to hand over one of the companies under Winthrop Group to Emma. After I

saw his materials, I agreed to his proposal.”Then, she asked impatiently, “What does he have on me? Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Can’t you tell me about it?”“He said it was something between you and Gilbert Payne.” Afterward, he

accessed his phone’s photo gallery and placed it on his desk. “Look, these are the photos of you and

him together.” There was an undeniable gloom in Callum’s eyes when he said that. It would be a lie to

say that he was not upset after seeing the photos.Nevertheless, he could not change the fact that

Elspeth had been in a relationship with someone before. After all, it was already in the past, and he did

not come into her life until much later. She was stunned when she heard that and walked toward the

desk to look at the phone. Then, her jaw dropped as soon as she saw the photos. There were many

photos of her gazing adoringly at Gilbert.How did Arthur get his hands on these photos? Clenching her

teeth, Elspeth seethed in anger, “These are all in the past! How could he threaten you with

these?!”Hearing that, Callum shook his head helplessly. “Scroll down for more photos.”After quickly

scrolling through his gallery, she noticed that her recent meet-up with Gilbert at a bar was also

captured. Under the dim lights, she looked as if she was smitten with him.“He claimed that these

photos were enough to prove that you are unfaithful to me, but I know you are not that kind of person,

so I agreed to his condition.” He then stepped forward and hugged her by the shoulders. “Don’t

overthink about it. Losing a company doesn’t mean anything. Above all, I don’t want anything to

happen to you.”Elspeth felt mixed emotions and was not able to utter a word. While she understood

that Callum was acting in her best interest, she had no idea he would go to such extremes. Soon, tears

quickly pooled in her eyes as she thought about his actions. “Thank you so much, Cal.”It was the first

time that she had addressed him with such affection. Instantaneously, his heart became warm, and the

frostiness on his face vanished.“Have you given her the contract?” Elspeth inquired when she noticed

that only Callum’s signature was on the contract.Then, he shook his head in response. “Not yet, but I

intend to meet Emma later and hand her the contract.”“Let me settle this matter. Don’t pass her the

contract yet.”Callum frowned upon hearing that. “What are you going to do?”“What am I going to do?”

She showed him a wry smile. “Didn’t those two provoke me first? I can’t believe they even pulled such

a trick. Of course, I have to return an eye for an eye.”Suddenly, he let out a laugh. An eye for an eye.

This is why I like her so much!“I’ll come with you.”Then, Elspeth turned her head to look at him and

asked, “Do you still have a blank page for the contract? Let’s bring it over and see if Emma dares to

sign the contract.”Afterward, the two met Emma at an open-air restaurant by the sea.When Callum

walked in, he saw a variety of seafood on the table, but his eyes held a trace of disgust as he looked up

at the woman in front of him.“Cal, I’m sure Arthur has told you about what is to be done, right?” Then,

Emma smiled triumphantly as she ran her fingers through her hair.“Of course. I brought the contract

today, didn’t I?”However, she could not hold the excitement in her eyes as she glanced at the contract

on the table.Even though Eric had agreed to help with her second debut, she had yet to hear from him.

On the other hand, she was relieved that Arthur had feelings for her. He did not seem to mind that she

had slept with a director before and even helped her acquire Callum’s subsidiary company.She was

convinced that as long as she was at the company’s helm, she would not need to be concerned about

anything else. In addition, she could rely solely on the company while developing it gradually. She

would soon no longer need to count on Eric or other men.Seeing the greedy look in Emma’s eyes,

Elspeth frowned and sneered, “Emma, you’re eager to sign the contract, aren’t you? However, I have

something I’d like to show you first. You can decide after that whether to sign or not.”“What are you

being so mysterious about? I’m not afraid of you at all,” Emma scoffed nonchalantly.Elspeth smiled as

she took out her phone and placed it on the table.From the corner of her eyes, Emma saw what was on

the screen, and her face instantly turned pallid.
