Chapter 461


    Chapter 461 Not Helena’s Daughter


    At 6.00PM, Elspeth clocked out and drove straight to the ce where she and Arthur had agreed to


    meet.


    When she pushed the door open and entered, Arthur was already there. Seeing here alone


    without bringing anyone with her, he slowly curled his lips into a smile. "You really keep your word. I like


    that."


    "Just cut the crap and tell me what secret you have."


    Arthur raised his eyebrows. "I''ll tell you, of course—but not now."


    Elspeth had no desire to have too many dealings with him, though; she thought speaking to him would


    simply shorten her lifespan. "Stop wasting time. We''re both busy, after all."


    "Alright then, just have a seat and dine with me. We''ll talk over dinner."


    Elspeth didn''t really want to have dinner with him, but she had no choice but to sit down in order to


    learn more information.


    The dishes were served one after another, and nearly all of them were her favorites.


    Arthur raised an eyebrow slightly in a confident and leisurely manner. Not only that, he even had an air


    of smugness about him. "These are all your favorite dishes, right? I know quite a lot about your


    preferences after spending such a long time with you abroad."


    As much as Elspeth hated this guy, she had to admit that he was indeed very attentive to her. Picking


    up a chunk of meat with her fork, she tasted it and couldn''t help feeling that it tasted somewhat familiar.


    She had eaten this so many times abroad, so there was no mistake about it. "Don''t tell me you made


    these yourself?" She found this hard to believe, but she had some doubts nheless.


    Arthur wasn''t in a hurry to answer her questions, though. Instead, he picked up his fork and speared a


    piece of potato with it. "I think the French fries today are pretty nice. You want to try them?"


    "Arthur, I don''t want to hear you reminisce about the old times and y the friendship card with me.


    Just hurry and tell me your purpose in getting me here today."


    Arthur''s countenance changed at her words. "Are you in such a hurry to leave me?"


    Elspeth only thought he was out of his mind. Seething with anger, she asked, "What do you mean by


    ''leave you''? I''ve never gone out with you before."


    Arthur asked, "What''s the matter with Callum''s Instagram post? Are you the one he''s married to?" His


    heart ached at the thought that Elspeth might have gotten back together with Callum and even married


    him.


    "So what if I''m the one he''s married to? What does that have to do with you? Just mind your own


    business," Elspeth said before standing up immediately. She continued in a frosty voice, "I think I won''t


    get any information I want here, so let''s not waste time talking to each other. I gotta go."


    She picked up her feet and was just about to leave when Arthur suddenly said something shocking


    behind her. "Has it ever urred to you that you''re not Helena''s daughter at all?"


    The instant Elspeth heard this, she stopped in her tracks and looked back sharply with her eyes full of


    disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I possibly not be my mom''s daughter?" Has


    Arthur gotten out of his mind while making up excuses?


    "Why would I lie to you about that? If you don''t believe me, you can look into it yourself. Don''t tell me


    you''ve never suspected this."


    Elspeth was stunned. Indeed, she had never suspected this, nor had she ever thought of digging into


    this.


    Arthur continued, "So, just check this out. Perhaps you''ll get an unexpected surprise. If you can''t find


    out anything, it''s okay. Juste to me and I''ll give you whatever answer you want."


    Elspeth looked totally unperturbed, but her mind was already in turmoil. It had never urred to her


    that she wasn''t Helena''s daughter. If she weren''t Helena''s daughter, then whose daughter was she?


    "Alright, I got it… Thanks for telling me about this." She took a deep breath. Although she didn''t


    understand Arthur''s motive in telling her about this, she was still grateful to him for his answer.


    Arthur rested his chin in his hand with a smile. "You''re wee. You''ve given me what I want, anyway."


    "What do you mean?" Elspeth asked. Before she realized it, she suddenly felt dizzy; the feeling of


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    weightlessness that washed over her rendered her at a loss for what to do. "You drugged the dishes?"


    Arthur smiled. "How can I make you stay without drugging you?"


    Elspeth knitted her brows while trying hard to suppress her dizziness and the hot sensation. "Why did


    you do this?"


    Arthur slowly stood up and walked to her side before holding her up by the arm. "Didn''t I make it clear


    already? I want to make you stay. I don''t want you to go back and be with him. It makes me angry to


    see you with him."


    Elspeth wanted to shake his hand off with all her might, but she realized that she couldn''t summon up


    her strength at all. "What are you gonna do to me?"


    Arthur looked at her face with infatuation written all over his face. "Don''t worry. I love you, so I''ll never


    hurt you."


    Seeing the man like this, Elspeth felt a bout of nausea. "Arthur, I really never expected you to be such a


    nasty person."


    "Call me names as you please. I just want to get my hands on you, anyway." Arthur reached out and


    gently caressed her face. "I know that you two might''ve gotten married, but that''s okay. I''ll take you


    abroad where there''s no one else so that no one would know you''re married, and we''ll stay together


    forever."


    Elspeth put her hands on the dining table in an effort to prop herself up. "Are you a pervert?"


    "Pervert, huh? I like the sound of that." Arthur bent over and was ready to kiss her face. I just drugged


    her with an aphrodisiac, so she must be feeling very ufortable at this moment.


    Just when he was about to proceed to the next step, the door was suddenly kicked open.


    Callum''s handsome face was frosty, and his ck eyes were gloomy as he was shrouded in a chilly


    aura. His voice was slightly husky, and his dark eyes were glittering like obsidians. Wearing a half


    smile, he asked with a threatening note in his deep voice, "What were you going to do to her?"


    Had he not arrived in time, he couldn''t have imagined that such a thing would happen. One could tell at


    a nce that Elspeth''s face was abnormally flushed, and it was clear that she had been drugged. Upon


    seeing this, he grew increasingly irritated. To think this woman had the nerve toe and meet him


    behind my back! Had I not taken precautions against this in advance, who knows what kind of


    unpredictable thing would''ve happened here?


    Arthur replied, "What does it have to do with you?" Seeing the man before him, he knew that his ns


    had fallen through again this time. Since he was displeased, he didn''t sound very pleased either.


    "What does it have to do with me, you ask? She''s mywful wife."


    The word ''wife'' instantly ignited the mes of war between the two men.


    "What? You married someone else right after calling off your engagement to the McGrath Family''s


    daughter? Don''t you worry that they''ll harm Elspeth in the future?"
