Chapter 254


    Although Eric was against it, he chose to keep quiet when he saw how calm Callum was, not to


    mention Elspeth was smiling at the mention of an engagement.


    “Alright, since both of you have decided on the engagement, I have noments. My only request is


    for my name not to be associated with the both of you once the announcement is made.” He didn’t


    want to be seen as a simp.


    “Alright, don’t worry about that. We won’t let your reputation get tainted.” Just then, she suddenly


    thought of Emma and asked, “Right, I’ve been wanting to ask you this—has Emma been stirring up


    trouble recently?”


    “Don’t bring this up. She’s been calling and begging to see me these days. I couldn’t take it anymore,


    so I changed my number. Right, I’ll send you my new number.” The thought of it gave Eric a headache.


    Elspeth could understand why Emma was acting that way. If she lost Eric’s backing, she would lose all


    of her trump cards. Thus, she wouldn’t be that stupid to offend Eric.


    “Do you like Emma a lot?”


    Hearing that, Eric scratched his head and replied sluggishly, “I think so. You can say that we have been


    together for three years. Although she’s my sugar baby, I do have feelings for her.”


    “In that case, do you know what happened between her and Callum?” Since Eric was her friend, she


    hoped that he wouldn’t get fooled by Emma even though they weren’t particrly close.


    Eric saw thating and answered boldly, “I’m Oil Magnate’s son. Do you think I didn’t run a


    background check on her before we got together?”


    With that, he nced at Callum and said with a smile, “I knew that she hadn’t broken up with Callum


    when we first got together. However, I wasn’t bothered by it. I always make sure that I get my hands on


    everything I like, after all.”


    Callum’s gaze darkened slightly upon hearing that, but his emotions calmed down shortly after.


    How could he say that outright when Callum is standing next to him? Fearing that Callum would be


    triggered by the revtion and stab Eric in the chest with a fruit knife, Elspeth quickly changed the


    topic. “Well, do you know what happened between her and Arthur?”


    Arthur… A glint of hatred shed across his eyes at the mention of that name. “Of course, I do,” Eric


    replied with a smile.


    “You don’t seem mad about it. Indeed, you are a generous person.”


    Generous? His smile froze.


    “You have a great personality since you aren’t mad about that. If it had been Callum…” Before she


    could continue, she felt Callum ring at her and immediately shut her mouth. She meant to say that if


    Callum had been in Eric’s shoes, he would have killed and decapitated the man.


    “Although I’m her boyfriend, I dislike being betrayed. That doesn’t mean I love her dearly, okay?”


    Elspeth was speechless after hearing that.


    “If shees after me in the future, will you stand against me?”


    “I’ll help you, but as ast resort, I hope that you will let her live.”


    “Got it. Mr. Eric, you sure are a Casanova.” Elspeth chuckled.


    “Nah, I’m not even that wealthy. I’m nothingpared to you.” Ericughed.


    Are you nothingpared to me when ites to wealth? She didn’t believe him, for she had seen


    how wealthy he was.


    “Alright, if there’s nothing else, both of you can leave. I’m going to sleep soon.” After chatting for a


    while, Elspeth yawned and asked them to go home.


    “Have a good rest.” Callum stood up and tucked her in, and Eric left after that. Once both men were


    gone, her expression instantly changed.


    She immediately made a call to Lisa. “What’s wrong, Elsie? Is there something I can help you with?”


    the woman asked.


    “You’re still at Damoria, right?”


    “Yes, Elsie. Didn’t you ask me to return to the mansion here? Lisa nodded.


    “That’s right. The reason I asked you to go back was to help me out with something.”


    “What is it? I’ll do whatever you say.” Lisa seemed intrigued by it.


    There was a reason why Lisa was loyal to Elspeth. Three years ago, Lisa worked as a cashier in a


    convenience store since the Dawson Family’s business couldn’t be sustained. She worked as a staff in


    the store to earn a living. Fortunately, Elspeth spotted her talent and offered her a job. Since Lisa had a


    talent for hacking, Elspeth made Harper take her in as his apprentice. The training carried on until


    today and being able to work for Elspeth was the most important thing to Lisa.


    “Please investigate if Matthew and Hex are up to anything recently.” Lisa was surprised to hear that


    since both men were Callum’s best friends. Although Lisa had her suspicions, she epted the


    assignment without doubting Elspeth’s decision.


    Elspeth continued staying at the hospital for the next few days. She felt ufortable staying there, so


    she begged Callum for ages before he finally agreed to let her return to the hotel and recuperate.


    “I’m a doctor too, so why won’t you let me go home? I can no longer stand the horrible smell of


    disinfectant in the hospital.”


    After returning to the hotel, Elspeth frowned while rubbing her waist as she sat on the couch. Her body


    was sore after lying in the hospital for the past few days.


    “I can see that you’re trying to sneak out. What are you trying to do?” Callum was worried about her


    since he knew very well how willful she normally was.


    “Alright, let’s go back and finish filming the drama.”

    “No. The ident happened only recently, and Arthur might try to hurt you again.” Callum shook his


    head.


    “But we’ve dyed the filming for half a month, though. If we dy it any further, I’m afraid we won’t


    have time toplete the filming. Since Emma has returned on set, we can no longer put it off.” Both


    dramas would be aired at the same time, so there was apetition between them.


    Callum knew very well that Elspeth was apetitive person. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, he


    replied calmly, “You’ll have to agree to several conditions first.”


    “What are they?”


    “Firstly, you cannot do anything dangerous, such as falling into the water. You can’t film scenes like


    that.”


    “Fine, Fine.” She nodded profusely.


    “Secondly, you are not allowed to get too close or talk to male celebrities except for work-rted


    matters.”


    Elspeth’s mouth twitched upon hearing that. “Is this about the time I shared a cookie with him?” This


    man is vindictive!
