Chapter 332


    “I called because I miss you, of course.” Emma brushed him off before cutting to the chase, asking,


    “How are things going with Elspeth?”


    Knowing that she was still concerned about this, Arthur smiled merrily. “How do you want me to handle


    it?”


    Although he seemed to be seeking her opinion, Emma still sensed something off about the


    atmosphere. “Didn’t we agree a long time ago that we’ll get rid of her after she goes abroad?”


    By that, she meant to end Elspeth’s life, and she knew Arthur would understand what she meant.


    “I know that, but the time isn’t right yet.”


    Hearing that, Emma became a little impatient. “Why not? Haven’t you been abroad for at least a week


    now?”


    Arthur in the past wouldn’t have behaved like this; he would always try to meet all her requests and


    finish them as quickly as possible. However, it seemed like he was brushing her off now.


    “Just wait a little longer. I’m already taking care of it.”


    Upon hearing Arthur’s countless excuses, Emma grew uneasy all of a sudden. “Then hurry up.”


    “Don’t worry, Emma, I promise to fulfill your wish.” Although Arthur’s voice remained gentle, it sounded


    a little half-hearted.


    At his words, Emma finally let out a pleased smile. “I just knew you’re the best.”


    Although Arthur was still smiling, his heart had gone cold. Why wouldn’t she marry him, then? Not only


    that, she even said he was the best. What a joke.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to work. I’ll call you when I’m free.”


    After giving him a goodbye kiss, Emma hurriedly hung up. Now, not only did she have to worry about


    Elspeth, but she had Callum to watch out for as well. Elspeth had gone abroad, and so did Callum, who


    went on a business trip; he went to the same ce as Elspeth no less. This won’t do. I have to go after


    them and take a look for myself…


    At that thought, she headed to her secretary’s office.


    Inside, her secretary, Ryan, asked without as much as a nce at her, “What do you want from me?”


    Emma was now nothing more than a tarnished actress, and even if she made aeback, she


    wouldn’t be able to bring much value. Hence, the entirepany and even her own manager had


    stopped caring about her.


    Although he was being apathetic and impolite to her, Emma had no choice but to soften her voice to


    achieve her goal. “It’s about Eden Fashion Week…”


    “No, you aren’t popr enough,” he immediately refused.


    In her desperation, Emma ced her hands on his shoulders and gently massaged them. “Ryan,


    you’re the best, so I’m sure you have an idea for me, right?”


    No man could resist a pair of soft and feeble hands that had voluntarily ced themselves on their


    shoulders, and Ryan was the same.


    Instantly, he became distracted and began stroking her hands while wearing the usual expression. He


    said, “In that case,e to my house tonight, and we’ll discuss this properly.”


    Emma’s smile widened. “Okay! Thank you, Ryan!”


    …


    When Elspeth awakened, it was already growingte, making therge and empty room seem


    overwhelmingly deste. She rubbed her messy hair and got out of bed to pull the curtains open, but


    the room still remained dimly lit.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. After dragging her exhausted body over to open it, she


    immediately saw Isabel, who was a head shorter than her, holding a tray with many borate tes of


    food on it.


    Taken aback, Elspeth asked, “What’s this?”


    Isabel’s face instantly flushed red and she stammered, “I-I made this for you.”


    “That’s amazing, Isabel.” Elspeth epted the tray with a smile and caressed her hair, saying,


    “Thanks.”


    After a long moment of hesitation, Isabel said, “Elspeth, if that ce is exhausting, you shouldn’t go


    anymore. It really doesn’t matter what happens to my face.”


    Herpassion softened Elspeth’s heart, and she assured her, “Don’t worry, it’s not that exhausting. In


    fact, things are really easy there. Besides, I know how to protect myself.”


    To prevent her from worrying any further, Elspeth took the food into her room and cleared her te.


    When she carried the dishes downstairs to clean them up, Arthur, who was curled up on the couch


    while reading a book, suddenly turned around and sent her a smile. “Are you going again tonight?”


    After putting the tes back in their ces, Elspeth stretched and said with a sigh, “Yeah, I haven’t


    completed my mission yet, so I have to stay there for the time being.”


    Arthur’s eyes shed. “Then, did you meet anyone special when you went yesterday?”


    “No, I didn’t. Why?” Elspeth felt her heart skip a beat, sensing that he was trying to get something out


    of her.


    When he saw her reluctance to speak, Arthur retracted his dubious gaze and reced it with a smile.


    “Nothing much, just asking.”


    After watching his abnormal behavior, Elspeth was suddenly skeptical that he knew Callum was here.


    However, Isabel’s issue was the most important thing for her at the moment.


    After returning to her bedroom, she covered her face in an exaggerated makeup look and changed into


    her short tube dress before heading to the store. Once she arrived, she greeted the customers at the


    door as usual, and when she finally locked her target and was ready to pounce, a hand grabbed her


    wrist with such force that it felt like it was going to crush her wrist. When she turned around, she


    realized it was Callum again.


    “Why are you haunting me?” Elspeth demanded furiously. Upon seeing that the man was about to be


    stolen by another woman, she desperately tried to shake him off to no avail.


    “What’s wrong? Do you want to serve your customers so badly?”


    Elspeth raised her voice and yelled, “I already said many times that we’re nothing to each other now.


    It’s none of your business what I do, and I don’t need to exin things to you either!”


    Callum’s empty hand balled into a fist. “You’re my fiancée now, so there shouldn’t be any problem with


    you exining yourself, right?”


    Fiancée?


    Elspeth was so mad sheughed. “There’s nothing between us now. Don’t forget that you were the one


    who canceled our wedding.”


    However, Callum refuted unabashedly, “I did, but my partner was the dead Elspeth. You’re still alive


    now, so it doesn’t count.”

    Is he trying to y word games?


    Seeing that he was unwilling to let go of her hand, Elspeth stepped on his knee viciously. She was


    wearing a pair of ck high heels today, and although she held back just enough to teach him a


    lesson, it probably still hurt.


    However, when she realized that Callum was unfazed and even attempted to drag her onto a nearby


    chair, she thoroughly panicked. “Callum! Let’s just talk things through!”


    Thinking that she was making too much of a racket, Callum directly picked her up into a bridal carry


    and headed to the rooms upstairs.
