Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 43


    Chapter 43 Selling Out Winthrop Group


    Elspeth slowly quipped, “Mr. Bishop, if I’m not mistaken, you must be wondering why these colleagues


    who you had bribed didn’t refute Mr. Winthrop as you expected, right?”


    “What?!” Houston’s expression changed radially. “Miss Lynwood, what do you mean by that?”


    She sneered, “I think you know exactly what I meant.”


    “Nonsense! You’re making things up!” he shouted in a panic.


    “Am I? Why don’t we take a look at this evidence?”


    She took the documents and photos out of the folder and mmed them on the table with a resounding


    snap. The documents scattered, and the images showed that Houston sneaked into the finance


    department office and the exact amount of money he had embezzled.


    “What else do you have to say?”


    Houston’s face turned ghastly pale, and the terror under his eyes heightened when he saw the


    evidence. “No, these are all fake! Why would I hurt thepany? Don’t you dare use me?!”


    Then, he suddenly roared wildly as if he had grabbed a life-saving float, “Yes, you did this so that you


    could kick me out of thepany! You’ll be punished for what you did to me!”


    Elspeth ignored his usations as she raised her eyebrow and decided his fate. “If you have nothing


    to say, you can go and have a good chat with the police.”


    Then, she sat down leisurely and smiled.


    Houston had intended to run at the mention of the police but was detained at the door by the police,


    who arrived just in time. “Just you wait! I won’t let you off the hook!”


    He red at them fiercely, and the anger in his eyes was burning.

    After Houston was taken away, Callum said a few words briefly before dismissing everyone and turning


    his attention to Elspeth. “I don’t think it’s that simple.”


    “Why?” Her eyes darted around, and she was full of smiles. She was over the moon after getting rid of


    the scourge of Houston, and even her tone was gleeful.


    “He is not that easily defeated,” Callum slowly said after pondering for a moment.


    Elspeth turned serious as she looked thoughtful. “You mean to say?”


    “I think he may have other ways to turn the table.”


    “What?” She frowned. “Are you saying that he wille back to bug us again? But he has been


    arrested!”


    He carefully recalled the look in Houston’s eyes before he was taken away. “He must have other tricks


    up his sleeves.”


    Sure enough, the news of Houston being cleared of suspicions and released came the next day.


    She sat in Callum’s office and frowned in dismay. “He really has other ns.”


    “He’s now a high-level executive at Alphascape.”


    “Based on his character, he must have made a deal with them based on our information.” Elspeth


    gritted her teeth indignantly. “Houston Bishop! I should have beaten him up to a pulp!”


    Callum pursed his lips tightly with a grave expression. “You don’t have to. It doesn’t matter where he


    goes. What is important is that he has information about ourpany. Since he’s now working for the


    Alphascape Group, he will certainly share this information with them, which is extremely unfavorable to


    us.”


    “Such as…” Elspeth paused, but they both knew what he wanted to say. Alphascape Group would


    have detailed information about Winthrop Group’s jewelry n and development n for the next


    quarter.


    “What did you do to Alphascape the other day?”


    Callum’s eyes shed slightly. “They lost three points of interest.”


    “No wonder. They had suffered such a great loss, so they must have waited for the best opportunity to


    strike. Unfortunately, Houston just so happens to be their powerful weapon.”


    Elspeth noted his serious expression as she emphasized, “In that case, they will definitely strike soon.


    So, we have to be ready when the timees.”


    “Just wait and see. We’ll make ns when they take action.”


    She nodded, andplicated expressions flitted across her face.


    After the conversation they had in the morning, she saw the news that Alphascape Group was going to


    launch a new jewelry set on her phone in the afternoon.


    She was all too familiar with the design of the jewelry. It was designed to serve as a stepping stone for


    Winthrop Group’s transformation into high-end products, but now, Alphascape Group stole her design


    andunched it quickly. But—


    An idea popped up in her mind, and her frown eased.


    Although the jewelry looked fashionable and chic in style, its huge drawback was that it would be highly


    ufortable for the person who wore it. She had yet to make any adjustments because she was


    busy dealing with Houston these past few days.


    It was a subtle problem, so no one other than the designers would notice this problem. Alphascape


    Group might have shot itself in the foot byunching the product so hastily.


    At the thought of this, Elspeth grabbed the draft paper and began to design. She made some form of


    adjustment to that n, as well as the shape and style of the jewelry.


    Finally, she went straight to Callum’s office with the draft and told him that she wouldunch this piece


    as the modified version.


    Callum’s eyes dimmed slightly as he listened to her n. “Are you sure? What if people suspect you of


    giarism? After all, Alphascape is the first whounched the product.”


    Of course, she had thought about it. “Yes, when it isunched, some people may suspect the product’s


    authenticity, but don’t worry about it. Since I’ve nned this, I have prepared a wless


    countermeasure. I have indisputable evidence to prove that we are the rightful owner of the original


    draft.”


    Callum didn’t say anything in response, so Elspeth smiled and reassured him, “You must not


    underestimate my ability. Don’t forget that I was the one who drew the design. Rx.”


    “It’s not you that I’m worried about. I believe in you, but I’m just worried that this is part of their dirty


    tricks, and you won’t be able to handle it then.” He looked at her smile with a hint of worry in his eyes.


    “I’ll assign some bodyguards to be with you in the next few days in case you are harmed.”


    How can she be so cheeky at a moment like this?


    She was surprised by his decision. Thus, she chuckled and asked, “Why do you care so much about


    my safety?”


    An awkward look appeared on his face. “It’s not what you think. I’m worried that something will happen


    to you and affect thepany’s revenue.”


    Elspeth pestered him. “I don’t care. You’re saying that I’m important to you, right?”


    When he heard her non-stop teasing, Callum was somewhat flustered. “Go back to work.”


    “You’re so boring.” She pouted.


    Only after Elspeth left did he calm down. Recently, his emotions had be easily influenced by her,


    and he didn’t know whether it was a good or bad thing. This feeling of being out of control was really


    annoying.
