Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 208


    The youngdy’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 youngdy 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 augh. “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 youngdy 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’llpensate 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 metst 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 ord.Elspeth was resting on the couch on the filming set when


    Emma suddenly barged in and raised her hand in an attempt to p 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 ying dumb,


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


    nder 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 inte by now, thought Elspeth. “How did I nder 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


    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, entric, 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 rtions team hade out and exined everything on her behalf, iming


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


    imed to beposites, in which case Emma’s face was nted on the woman in the photos using


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


    Emma had a profligate lifestyle abroad, causing her to lose arge 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 ke to make sure that Yelena was doing


    her acting job. She also asked ke 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?”
