Chapter 32


    Chapter 32 She’s Just an Outsider


    The woman’s face turned ghastly pale. “I—”


    Elspeth didn’t lose herposure despite her ire as she continued all smiles, “Miss, I hope that you


    have sufficient evidence before questioning others next time.”


    The camera sh blinded the scene at this moment as the reporters snapped photos of Elspeth. The


    news about Elspeth being the renowned jewelry designer Angel was far more interesting than Elspeth’s


    giarism!


    Nevertheless, she didn’t forget the reason behind the press conference as she changed the subject,


    “This set of jewelry is a couple’s model. ‘First Sight’, which is targeted toward our male audience,


    symbolizes love at first sight. Meanwhile, ‘First Love’, which is their counterpart for our lovelydies,


    symbolizes eversting love. So, they are perfect gifts for couples.”


    The press conference ended sessfully. Nheless, that night, Winthrop Group’s official website


    once again announced that all the jewelry was sold out.


    Thement section of the social media website began to be lively again.


    ‘Oh my gosh! Why did I hesitate?! I even doubted the jewelry’s copyright issue! This is Angel’s product,


    and I didn’t buy it!’


    ‘Me too! I didn’t manage to buy them. Winthrop Group, please sell the product quickly! My wife said she


    will divorce me if I can’t buy it!’


    As Callum read the news andments, he was astonished at the revtion. It had never crossed his


    mind that Elspeth was actually Angel.


    He acknowledged the number of bizarre things that she had aplished previously, but then, she


    appeared to be Nancy, and now Angel… She was really an inscrutable woman.


    Both of them returned hometer than usual due to work-rted matters. Therefore, it was already


    1.00AM when they finally returned home. Unfortunately, they were so swamped with work that neither


    of them had dinner. As a result, Elspeth’s stomach grumbled in protest. “I’m going to make some quick


    supper. Do you want some?”


    “Yes.” Callum thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    After a while, she came bearing two sandwiches with a sunny-side-up on the side.


    The sandwich looked rather nd and simple. However, when he took a bite, he was surprised as it


    was quite delicious. “I didn’t know that you could cook.”


    She tilted her chin proudly. “Hah! There’s plenty you don’t know about me.”


    “How many more identities do you really have?” His tone carried a hint of genuine curiosity as he


    asked.


    She was taken aback by his blunt questioning for a moment before sheughed out loud. “Do you even


    realize that you have been caring about me way more than you used to? Tell me honestly. You like me,


    don’t you?”


    Elspeth couldn’t see his expression clearly, but she could hear a sense of chagrin in his voice. “I’m just


    a little curious.”


    He was indeed a little curious, but even more so, he wanted to know more about her. She seemed to


    have a unique charm that had seeded in luring him toward her.


    Before she could tease him, someone suddenly turned on the lights at the staircase. Arthur, who was in


    pajamas, stood at the end of the stairs and looked at them with a cheeky smile. “Callum, Elspeth, why


    aren’t you guys going to bed yet?”


    His implication was apparent. He was teasing them for flirting in the middle of the night.


    Callum suppressed theplex emotions under his eyes and blurted behind false bravado, “I’m going


    to bed. Don’t stay up toote.”


    After he left, Arthur walked to her and asked, “Do you like Callum?”


    She did not answer his question as she simply looked at him and remarked, “You’re quite the gossiper.”


    “My mom has specified that she wants Ophelia to marry Callum. So if you like him, it won’t be easy for


    you to be with him.”


    “There is nothing I can’t do as long as I set my mind on it.”


    Arthur’s smile widened. “Good. Got it.”


    Elspeth turned to look at him, only to feel that his smile was rather strange. It was different from the


    feeling she had when she first saw him.


    When she returned to the bedroom, she immediately called Harper. “Did you find out who did it this


    time?”


    “Yes. The IP addresses of thoseizens who posted negativements were all from the Flemings.


    Ophelia was most likely to be the mastermind behind this.”


    After a short pause, Harper continued, “I also learned about the strange person from the surveince in


    Death Canyon. Hisst phone call was also to Ophelia.”


    “Ophelia, huh? Harper, publish all the news on social media tomorrow. I want her to get a taste of her


    own medicine.” Elspeth’s eyes were covered with ayer of frost.


    “Alright, Miss Lynwood.” Harper beamed and immediately did her job.


    The next morning, Elspeth heard the sound of crying downstairs as soon as she woke up. She


    stretched her bodyzily and walked down the stairs, only to see Ophelia trembling on the couch and


    wailing piteously, “Mrs. Winthrop, I didn’t do it. I’m innocent!”


    Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle at the pathetic sight. Everyone in the living room turned to look at her,


    and she feigned innocence. “Why are you looking at me?”


    “It’s you, isn’t it? You framed Ophelia and cyberbullied her on the Inte, didn’t you?”


    “No wonder all of you are looking at me like that.” Elspeth snorted in disdain. “You think I set her up.”


    Ophelia’s eyes were teary as she didn’t hesitate to hurl usations, “Elspeth, I didn’t do it. How can


    you do this to me?!”


    When Ophelia woke up this morning, she almost went berserk when she realized that someone had


    published everything she had done on the Inte. Luckily, there was no solid evidence to prove that


    she did it. She knew that Margot favored her, so she immediately came to Callum’s house to convince


    Margot that Elspeth had framed her.


    “Me? Set you up?” Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle. “Can you please tell me why I would do that?”


    Ophelia nced at Callum and mumbled timidly, “M-Maybe because you like Callum, so you don’t like


    to see me around him.”


    Although Elspeth was smiling, there was not a single hint of mirth in her eyes. “It’s truly amazing that


    you could assume that everyone is as nasty as you.”


    “B-But who else would do this to me besides you? I-I know that you’ve always disliked me.”


    Margot frowned. “Elspeth, quickly delete everything that is on the Inte and give us an exnation!”


    She didn’t want her future daughter-inw’s reputation to be tarnished now because it might affect the


    reputation of the Winthrops in the future.


    “Did it never cross your mind that Ophelia really did all those things?” Elspeth nced at Margot, her


    gaze gleaming with absolute certainty.


    “Impossible!” Margot snapped. “I told you that Ophelia would never do such a thing! She’s a nice girl,


    so she wouldn’t have done such a thing!”


    Even Callum, who remained at the sidelines, spoke for Ophelia, “She… She wouldn’t do such a thing.”


    Elspeth nced at him coldly. “So, do you think of me as someone who would falsely use another?”


    She felt disdain when she heard Margot reprimanding her and felt that the woman was an


    unreasonable harpy. Regardless, when he echoed Margot’s remark, she felt a dull pang in her heart.


    I’m just an outsider. Since the beginning, they have isted me from their circle, and even Callum has


    not epted me. In that case, I have to release the solid proof. There’s no reason for me to pull my


    punches with these people.
