Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 36


    Chapter 36 False usation of Intentional Injury


    ke came to Winthrop Group a few dayster. He leaned against the door of the president’s office


    and smiled leisurely. “Callum, I have contacted all the female celebrities who are free recently, but


    either their images do not fit the model, or they don’t want to be the model. There is no suitable


    candidate.”


    Callum donned a cold expression. “We don’t have to shoot themercials.”


    “What? No!” ke frowned. “How can you do that? We have agreed on this, so you can’t go back on


    your words.”


    “I’ll pay you the advertising fee, but you don’t have to shoot themercials.”


    There was a use that Elspeth needed help understanding, so she went to Callum’s office. Just as


    she was about to knock on the door, she heard their conversation, and aplex emotion surged


    within her.


    “Hi, Elspeth!” ke immediately went to her and beamed happily. “I can’t find a suitable candidate for


    themercial. You promised you would do it with me if I can’t find someone suitable.”


    Her lips twitched in response to his eagerness, but when she looked at Callum, who looked irate and


    chafed, she didn’t know what to say.


    “Don’t worry about him. He’s agreed to let us shoot themercials together.”


    “I didn’t say that,” Callum snapped coldly.


    “In that case, why don’t I give it a try?”


    The celebrities’ efficacy in promoting the jewelry was the way to ease Winthrop Group’s intervention


    into the jewelry business and achieve the first victory. Elspeth did not want to give up this n easily,


    so she looked at Callum carefully.


    Since he did not give her any adverse reaction, she tried again, “This is for thepany’s sake. It’s


    quite a good n, actually.”


    Callum remained silent for a long while, and finally, he mumbled a quiet ‘Okay’ as an approval.


    With his approval, they could carry out themercial smoothly. So, ke postponed his new drama’s


    shooting and focused on the jewelrymercial.


    The shooting location was not in the office but on arge outdoorwn.


    Callum personally came to oversee the shooting progress. He disguised his true intention by stating


    that he was only there to supervise them in case something might go wrong. It was inevitable for ke


    and Elspeth to pose intimately during the process. Both models were in character and utterly immersed


    in the atmosphere. Thus, they overlooked the gloomy and grumpy Callum.


    After the first scene, Elspeth went to grab a drink of water when she heard his t and cold voice,


    “Good job.”


    She was surprised that he was there, so she quickly turned her head and saw him standing on the


    side. There were some indefinable emotions in his eyes as she asked, “Why are you here?”


    He cleared his throat and said, “As the president of Winthrop Group, I need to pay attention to any


    activities that mypany conducts, includingmercial shoots.”


    She nodded as his reason seemed usible. Then, when she saw ke walking toward them, she


    handed a bottle of water to him. “Here, drink some water.”


    After ke unscrewed the cap and took a sip, he taunted. “Callum, I didn’t expect you toe over to


    watch this boring stuff.”


    “Can’t Ie?” Callum narrowed his eyes.


    keughed out loud. “Hey, I’ve been shooting a lot ofmercials for thepany. You wouldn’t


    come no matter how I begged you to, but you decided to show up out of the blue this time. What a rare


    sight.”


    Then, he squinted and said curiously, “Wait a minute. Are you here because of Elspeth? Wow, I can’t


    imagine that you actually have fallen for a woman.”


    Callum red at him and hissed under his breath, “You talk a little too much.”


    ke shook his head and chuckled. “I liked her first, so back off. She’s mine.”


    Callum felt even grumpier when he heard this. “We don’t know whether she’s yours or not.”


    The atmosphere between the two men was getting tense. So, Elspeth quickly blurted out that she


    needed to use the restroom and fled the scene.


    She went to the nearby public restroom and saw a familiar face as soon as she entered. It was Ava,


    whom she had not seen for a long time.


    “It’s a small world, isn’t it, Elspeth?” Ava red at her coldly.


    Elspeth was not in the mood to converse with this woman who clearly hated her. “How are you doing,


    Miss Wiley? Did you find a new job?”


    Ava was enraged when Elspeth brought up this topic and growled, “Don’t think I can’t do anything after


    you forced me out of Winthrop Group. Just wait and see. I’ll make you pay sooner orter!”


    “Whatever.” Elspeth rolled her eyes.


    After Ava ensured that there was no one around them, she suddenly charged forward boldly and


    extended her arms toward Elspeth’s face. Nevertheless, Elspeth reacted quickly as she grabbed Ava’s


    wrist and red viciously. “Are you trying to hurt me?!”


    “Yes! I want to hurt you so badly! You want to know how I’m doing, don’t you? After I was fired from


    Winthrop Group, no one wanted to hire me, and it was all because of you! You turned my life upside


    down, so I will let you have a taste of your own medicine!”


    Ava struggled to pull Elspeth’s hair, but Elspeth pushed her back. As a result, she lost her bnce and


    fell backward, hitting her head hard on the sink behind her.


    The intense pain caused her to panic, and shepletely lost it when she felt the blood flowing down


    her neck. She hastily took out her phone and phoned the police. “Elspeth, you’ve hurt me! You’ll rot in


    jail!”


    Elspeth remained silent as she looked at Ava, bellowing at her.


    Soon, the police came and took away both women.


    Ava’s head was injured, so she went to the hospital first to treat her wound and then to the police


    station to make a statement.


    Callum and ke were waiting for Elspeth to continue the shooting when they heard that she was


    arrested. They instantly put aside their argument as they rushed toward the police station.

    On the other hand, Elspeth and Ava sat side by side at the police station. They didn’t say a word, so


    the police officer asked, “What happened?”


    Elspeth remained quiet, but Ava immediately cried wolf. “Sir, please help me! I didn’t do anything, but


    she pushed me, and now I suffered such a serious injury. I want to sue this woman!”


    The officer gave Ava a tissue paper because she was crying sadly and looked quite pitiful with her


    bandaged head. Then, he turned to Elspeth and asked, “Miss Lynwood, is what Miss Wiley said true?


    Did you have a grudge against her? Was that why you pushed her?”


    “It’s self-defense,” Elspeth said dispassionately.


    Ava knew that there was no surveince in the restroom, so there was nothing Elspeth could do, even


    if she lied. Hence, Ava became bolder and snapped, “Elspeth, I could have asked the judge to reduce


    your charge if you admit that you hurt me intentionally, but you’re so stubborn. I can’t let you off the


    hook!”


    The police officer frowned. “Miss Lynwood, please confess, and the sentence will be more lenient.”


    “It’s self-defense,” Elspeth repeated.


    Ava couldn’t help raising her voice and shrieking, “Officer, there’s no need to ask her any question.


    Since she’s so stubborn, just lock her up!”


    Elspeth chuckled in amusement. “What if I have evidence?”


    Avaughed derisively as if she had heard the funniest joke. “Oh, really? Show us then! I’ll be your


    lapdog if you can bring out the evidence today!”
