Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Elspeth Is Anny
“Do you have any proof that she giarized someone else’s work?”
Gritting her teeth, Ava submitted the evidence she hadpiled while Elspeth narrowed her eyes at
the scene. So, this is her n…
“The creativity of this designes from Anny’s work. She’s a famous college student from abroad.
This woman who came from the countryside clearly giarized her work!”
One was from a prestigious college while the other was a country bumpkin, so everyone could
distinguish the situation at this point.
“That’s some acting skill Elspeth has!”
“It’s fine if she can’t do it, but why does she have to giarize?”
“How can someone like her stay in thepany?”
Discussions broke out throughout the room, but Callum avoided everyone’s gaze and looked at the
used in question. “Elspeth, do you have anything to say for yourself?”
Looking into those smiling eyes, he had an inexplicable sense of calmness. It was as if he was sure
that she had done nothing wrong in this matter. Still, he wanted to hear her argument before anything.
Smiling, she nodded. “You’re right. I did borrow some inspiration, but I didn’t expect you to be so
meticulous.”
Ava thought she was nearing sess and started speaking without any restraint, “Mr. Winthrop, not
only is this country bumpkin free-riding, she giarized someone else’s work! Someone like her
shouldn’t stay in thepany, so I suggest that you fire her!”
Meanwhile, Callum lightly furrowed his brows while waiting for Elspeth to speak.
“Then, what if… I’m Anny?”
That had Ava bursting out inughter. “You’re Anny? Stop joking, Elspeth. If you’re Anny, I’ll
immediately tender my resignation and hand over my position to you!” How could Anny, the genius who
finished her double major at an early age, be willing to be an ordinary employee after returning
from her studies?
“Are you sure about that?” Elspeth asked slowly.
Feeling that she had the upper hand, Ava raised her chin and confirmed, “Yes, I’m positive!”
After that, Elspeth went on stage, took out her phone to connect it to the big screen, and made a video
call. Secondster, a kind-looking, old foreigner appeared on the screen. That old man was none other
than Professor Andrew, who had won two Nobel Prizes!
How did Elspeth know such a person?

“Professor, I’m sorry to disturb you in such a way.” Elspeth smiled to show her apology.
On the other hand, Professor Andrew did not seem to mind as he became full of smiles after seeing her
face. “Anny, it’s been a long while since youst contacted me. I’m so delighted to receive your call that
I no longer feel like doing my experiments.”
“Oh, no, Professor. Your experiments need you!”
While the two were happily chatting in Edanian, the crowd went silent and no one dared to make a
sound. Those who were able to enter Winthrop Group were basically graduates from prestigious
colleges, so they were able to understand most of what the two were conversing about.
However, the thing they found most difficult to understand was not the conversation but the fact that
Elspeth knew such a person. Also, from how Professor Andrew had greeted her, she was indeed Anny!
At that moment, Ava’s victorious mood instantly copsed as she looked disbelievingly at the big
screen. Looking at Elspeth, she felt herself crumbling into insanity. I lost. Completely.
Soon, Elspeth hung up the phone and nced at the pale Ava with a smirk. “Do tell me, Ava. Am I
giarizing if I’m inspired by my own creation?”
Ava had her mouth agape, but she could not utter a word at all.
On the other hand, the word ‘surprise’ was not enough to describe the feeling Callum had right now.
Indeed, this woman will always bring me unexpected surprises.
“Ava Wiley, head to the finance department tonight to receive your sry and leave.” Callum despised
having such arrogant people like Ava in thepany. Atst, he sealed her fate with one single
sentence.
Now that the farce had ended, he decided to send Elspeth home, but she rejected his offer as she had
something even more important to do. She came out of the door and ascended a car, which Harper
had been waiting inside for a long time. “Elspeth, how’s your condition?”
She chuckled. “I’ve been alright for a while now. Let’s hurry up or we won’t make it before it ends.”
Nodding, Harper stomped on the elerator and the car sped off.
The ce they were heading to was an underground ck market and there would be a high-tech
computer being auctioned there tonight. It was said that theputer was left by the world’s best
hacker and it was the only one of its kind.
She enjoyed tinkering with such things, so she needed to get thatputer.
Arriving at the scene, they were lucky enough to make it before thest item was presented—the
computer. The starting bid for it was ten million, which received a lot of responses from the crowd.
Meanwhile, Elspeth stayed patient and waited until there were lesser bidders before starting her bid.
“A hundred and twenty million. Would anyone like to add to the bid?”
Harper slowly raised the paddle. “One hundred and thirty million.”
“A hundred and thirty million. Any more? A hundred and thirty million, once. A hundred and thirty
million, twice. A hundred—”
“Two hundred million.”
The smile on Elspeth’s face froze and she looked over in the distance to see a very familiar figure.
Unfortunately, there were many with sses at the scene, so it was difficult for her to distinguish who it
was.
“Three hundred million.” Harper continued to bid.
Three hundred million for aputer was slightly exaggerated, so the others stopped adding to the
bid, except for that unfamiliar man with spectacles. He raised his paddle and said, “Four hundred
million.”
Four hundred million? Turning to face Elspeth, Harper asked if she wanted to increase the price, but
she shook her head and surrendered. “Let that person have it.”
With a tap of the mallet, he no longer raised his paddle and theputer now officially belonged to the
other person. After the auction, he was about to send Elspeth home when they were blocked by a
group of men as they arrived at the entrance.
The man in the lead was a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a pair of sses. He was manifesting
a temperament that indicated that he was no ordinary man. “Elspeth, it’s been a while.”
Even with the sses on, Elspeth could recognize who it was at a nce. She suddenly called out in
surprise, “Mark! Why are you in Damoria?”
They learned from the same master and were both top hackers.
Chuckling, Mark Griffin replied, “I’m here to get thisputer. Have you forgotten? It’s your birthday in
two days. I know this is right up your alley, so I came all the way to Chars just to get it.”
“How long will you be staying here?”
“Not long. I’m leaving tomorrow. I was nning to mail this to you, but it seems like I can just give it to
you now.”
Feeling frustrated, Elspeth answered, “If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t havepeted for it. It’s a
waste of all that money.”
Mark caressed her head. “It’s alright. It’s just four hundred million. All that matters is that you’re happy.”
Meanwhile, a figure moved in the corner, but it quickly disappeared. The two spent some time chatting
until Mark had to leave to catch his ne, so Elspeth returned to the Winthrop Residence.
Early the following day, Elspeth came downstairs for breakfast and was met with strange gazes from
everyone.
Max snorted. “How surprising. You’re actually smart.”
She took a seat and ignored his sarcastic remark.
“Alright, stop it.” Theodore red at Max and cleared his throat. “Since today’s the weekend, I’ve
decided that we’re going hiking as a family.”
Pfft! Everyone on the scene dropped their jaws in shock.
