Chapter 181
At the mention of the Alphascape Group, Zain seemed to be more clear-headed. Nevertheless,
he only hesitated for a moment before he continued, “I prepared Alphascape’s ounts myself. Well…
there’s a secret to it…”
Elspeth feared that he might try to squirrel away some secrets during their discussion, so she decided
to add some fuel to the fire. “Zain, please tell me. I’m very curious.”
How could he resist a beautiful woman calling his name in such a coy manner? He smiled in what he
thought was a roguish manner. “Naturally, I’ve tampered with the ounts. Think about it…
Alphascape’s annual taxable ie alone exceeds 1 billion each year. That’s such arge sum. It’s
only to be expected that the boss is unwilling to pay such an exorbitant amount. Thepany will save
a lot of money if I just slightly tamper with the numbers. Besides, I also benefit from the deal in the form
of a bonus.”
After he said that, he secretly made a ‘nine’ gesture with his hands.
“Mr. ck, you’re truly an amazing man.” She propped her chin on one hand and smiled mysteriously.
“It’s nothing special. So, do you understand now?” He looked at her face and could barely stop himself
from drooling.
Even a noble and virtuous woman like her has fallen for my charms. Doesn’t that mean my charisma is
off the charts?
She stared at him, feeling absolutely disgusted by the vulgar expression on his face.
When she figured that the problem was almost resolved, she secretly kept away her recording pen and
prepared to reconvene with Callum.
“Mr. ck, let’s end things here for today. I have something going onter, so I have to leave now.”
Elspeth was leaving before they even started their dinner. Zain was so stunned that he couldn’t find his
voice for a moment. “The food has just been served. Why don’t you leave after the meal?”
She turned back and smiled at him. “Mr. ck, I’ll invite you out for dinner again tomorrow. Let’s stop
here today. I’m afraid I forgot to turn off the gas at home. An ident might ur if I return toote.”
He understood the situation’s urgency, so he did not stop her. So, he could only watch her sashay
away, already looking forward to their meeting tomorrow.
As soon as Elspeth walked out of the restaurant, she immediately met Callum, who hade to pick
her up. The two of them quickly entered the car in order to avoid Zain from catching up if he had a mind
to do so. She held her phone as though she were offering up some priceless treasure. “I’ve already
recorded everything he said earlier. This can be used as evidence.”
“The recording alone is not enough.”
They needed concrete proof in order to take down Alphascape once and for all.
She blinked and pulled up something on her phone. “I installed a Bluetooth camera in my ring. Once I
connect the ring to my phone, the photos will automatically be downloaded into my phone. So,
everything should have been captured on record when I flipped through the ount statements
earlier.”
A trace of surprise shed through his eyes. “That’s absolutely brilliant.”
“Of course. Whenever we steal confidential information, we have always used the Bluetooth ring I
designed.”
She was very confident in her creation.
“We don’t want to expose these wrongdoings just yet. We need to find a suitable opportunity for
maximum coverage of their misdeeds.” He analyzed calmly. “If we take the initiative to attack, it is very
likely that we will end up beingbeled as an enemy who is trying to provoke Alphascape or even be
painted as nderers. We need to wait until Alphascape makes a misstep.”
She nodded in agreement. “That makes sense. Let’s return to the Joneson Residence first.”
Callum drove Elspeth back to the Joneson Residence. A figure barreled toward them as soon as they
stepped through the door.
Elspeth jumped in fright, sweating profusely when Keh’s infinitely magnified face appeared before
her.
“You’re always not around whenever I decide to pay you a visit. Are you avoiding me on purpose?”
Keh scowled deeply, and his tone was forceful.

She suddenly felt like she was an irresponsible scumbag who slept around with the other party. Well, a
female scumbag.
Unfortunately, Callum seemed to have the same idea. His expression was quite hideous at the
moment. “Elspeth, why don’t you exin to me just who this evil man is who sprang out of nowhere?”
She opened her mouth. Just as she was about to exin that Keh was her elder brother, Keh
began introducing himself. “I am not an evil man. I am Keh Joneson, the team leader of the
number one FX Club in the country.”
As soon as Callum heard the surname ‘Joneson’, his mood improved slightly. “I see. You’re Keh
Joneson, the eldest son of the Jonesons, who is addicted to e-sports.”
Callum only received another round of Keh’s serious introduction. “I am Keh Joneson, the
team leader of the number one FX Club in the country.”
Elspeth stared at Keh’s beautiful yet immature face, suddenly feeling as though this was a kind of
beauty that was gifted as an apology for forgetting about installing a brain into this person. Was he
handsome? Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately, his good looks were in exchange for his intelligence.
“So, did youe looking for me because you wanted to drag me into your team? Let me be straight
with you. I don’t have the time to join your team for the long term, and I don’t have any interest in e-
sports.”
Keh didn’t hide his disappointment at her words. Regardless, he could not force her by pulling
seniority even if she was unwilling. So, he nodded in understanding.” I know you are reluctant to join
the team. I came to invite you to participate in the teampetition. One of our participating team
members was involved in a car ident, so I…”
She did not seem bothered. “Can’t you use your reserve members as a recement?”
He frowned at her suggestion. “The person you would be recing is an ADC yer. He is the only
shooter with the best performance on the team. However, I think your skills are well-rounded, so I came
to you.”
When she saw the puppy dog eyes coupled with the expectant look on his face, she couldn’t bring
herself to refuse him. At the end of the day, she agreed to follow him to the club.
Callum immediately chimed in, “I’ming with you.”
Elspeth looked back at him with a bewildered look. “Why? It’s not like you y games.”
He did not relent and insisted, “I want to learn, can’t I?”
Naturally, he had other things in mind when he said that.
The entire club was filled with men. If any one of them harbored any ill intentions toward her, it was his
duty as her official boyfriend to deal with them. So, it was better to find the root of the problem and nip
them in the bud.
“Okay. You cane with us.”
The three of them left the house before they could even announce their return. This time Callum drove
them to the FX Club.
As soon as they stepped through the door, two or three men immediately crowded around them.
“Ken, you’re back. This is…”
The three people were initiallyughing and joking, but they immediatelyposed themselves at the
sight of a beautifuldy standing nearby and straightened themselves.
As for Callum, who was standing nearby… He was very handsome, but his aura was too cold. Hence,
they simply pretended not to see him.
“This is my cousin, Elspeth.”
One of the men stretched out his hand to shake hands with Elspeth. “You’re so pretty. Can we be
friends?”
Elspeth was about to raise her hand when an arm stretched past her and grabbed the hand. “She
doesn’tck friends. I’ll be your friend.”
It was a typical over-protective provocation.
Callum’s jealousy was practically drowning her. Still, she quickly suppressed a smile before he could
notice her amusement. “I’m sorry. He has always been like this. He craves the affection of others
because he’s used to being ignored. You just need to be more friendly toward him.”
That man originally thought that Callum was her jealous lover. But, after he heard her misleading
exnation, he immediately seemed to understand something.
“Take it easy, and don’t take everything to heart. Buddy, you seem to be in a bad mood. Did something
happen?”
The man tried to be Callum’s buddy, but all that only resulted in Callum tightening his grip on the
man’s hand instead.
