Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Being Framed
Back home, the living room had a lively atmosphere as the other four members of the Winthrop Family
were there, including Margot.
Another young woman about the same age as Elspeth was also sitting on the couch. She wore a dress
with a suit and she seemed to be a youngdy from a wealthy family.
“Callum, you’re home. Come, sit. Ophelia returned today and came straight over after her flight
landed.”
The woman rose to her feet to greet Callum. However, he responded coldly, which caused a
disappointed expression on her face. Then, she looked at Elspeth and said, “You must be Elspeth,
right? I’m Ophelia Fleming, and I grew up with Callum and the others. We’re friends from now on, so
we can hang whenever you’re bored.”
Ophelia heard from her conversation with the others earlier that Elspeth was beautiful, but she did not
expect her to be this beautiful. Her bare face looked fair and wless, which every woman would envy.
Meanwhile, Elspeth had seen through her thoughts and replied tly, “Sure.”
At that moment, Theodore returned as well. The Fleming Family and Winthrop Family had been friends
for centuries, so he was naturally polite to Ophelia. While the others were happily chatting, Elspeth was
sitting on the side, waiting for dinner to start.
Then, Margot said, “By the way, Ophelia, I knew you wereing back and I specially bought some
things for you. Let me head upstairs to get them.”
First, she went upstairs, then she came back down and questioned Theodore unhappily. “Where’s the
box of jewelry I just bought and ced in the drawer?”
“How would I know?” asked Theodore.
She then turned to her five sons. “Did any of you take it?”

They all shook their heads.
“That’s strange. Did it grow wings and fly away?”
Then, Ophelia carefully suggested, “Mrs. Winthrop, could someone have stolen it?”
“Who has the guts to steal something from me? You’d better give it back and leave the Winthrop
Residence this instant, or else, you’ll be living in a dungeon cell!”
Seeing no one admitted it, Margot ordered, “Mr. Graham, search every room in this house.”
Meanwhile, Elspeth, who was ying on her phone, was instantly intrigued when she heard that.
An hourter, the butler brought a few people and searched through all the servants’ rooms, but they
did not find the lost set of jewelry. Then, the butler hesitantly asked, “Mrs. Winthrop, besides the
servants’ rooms, we haven’t searched through Miss Lynwood’s room.”
At that moment, a servant stood up and used, “Mrs. Winthrop, Miss Lynwood just happened to pass
by when we discussed the broken surveince camera yesterday. This afternoon, I saw hering out
of you and Mr. Winthrop’s room.”
Her words proved that Elspeth knew about the broken surveince camera and had gone into the
master bedroom, which made her look very suspicious.
Hearing that, Margot was instantly enraged. “Elspeth! I was wondering why you didn’t ept the bank
card from Theodore yesterday. You act aloof on the surface and do such heinous things in the dark! Mr.
Graham, search her room.”
Theodore immediately rose to his feet and argued, “Nonsense! Elsie wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“How is that nonsense? Theodore, do you think you know her well? What can’t people from small
towns like her do? She was alone at home all afternoon yesterday, so she’s very suspicious!”
Meanwhile, Elspeth kept a stoic face whileforting Theodore, “It’s alright, Mr. Winthrop. Let them
search the room.”
Ever since this incident began, she knew someone had nned this just for her. As for who the culprit
was, she was going to find out soon.
While the butler led a few servants to search Elspeth’s room, the rest of them remained seated on the
couch. Then, Elspeth pointed at the servant who used her and asked, “What’s your name?”
I’ve never entered Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop’s room, so why did she frame me?
