Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 87
“Fine. It’s none of my business. You guys can continue to be lovey-dovey here. Sorry for disturbing
you.” Yelena held back her tears and finished her sentence. As soon as she said that, she ran away
crying.
From afar, when Elspeth looked at Yelena leaving the ce, her forehead furrowed. Just as she
wanted to chase after Yelena, someone grabbed her on her right wrist.
“Elspeth.”
She turned around and saw Callum with a cold expression.
“Why are you here?”
He came from the direction of the washroom. Oh, no wonder. She was a little surprised just now about
Callum not attending the event since he had such a close rtionship with Hex, but it was just that he
was in the washroom, so she didn’t notice him.
“Oh, right. It’s Hex’s birthday today. You should be here as his crony.”
Her words were ironic, but he didn’t mind at all. He just stared straight into her eyes.
“What do you want?” Her mind was filled with going after Yelena, and because the person stopping her
was Callum, her tone was slightly impatient. “Get out of my way if you have nothing to say. Don’t waste
my time.”
Callum was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw how much Elspeth didn’t want to see a
person. “Since we met here, I want to talk to you.”
She had been hiding so well, so he had been finding her for a long time and he finally came across her
today.
“I don’t have time.”
“I just need five minutes.”
When Elspeth saw that he was so persistent and her wrist was being grabbed so tightly, she could only
nod resignedly.

After they randomly found a ce to sit down, Elspeth looked at him across from her and got straight to
the point. “Is this about your mother’s incident?”
“I want to know how she fell down the stairs.”
Elspeth scoffed at that. “I thought you suspected that I did it.”
After a moment of silence, Callum calmly replied, “I didn’t.”
His aura turned cold all of a sudden. “No.”
His answer arose something bitter inside her. I knew it. Just like what I expected.
“Since you don’t believe me. I have nothing else to say. I’m busy. I need to go now.” She stood up and
was ready to leave but was stopped by Callum again.
“I’m not saying that I don’t believe you, but… Ophelia can’t harm my mother.” He would rather suspect
that
Margot fell identally than hold Ophelia ountable for it. For Ophelia, Margot treated her like a birth
mother would, so she couldn’t harm Margot.

“So, you really think that I hurt her, right? Fine. It’s my fault then.” Elspeth sneered. She was not only
disappointed in him but hadpletely lost her hope in him.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“You don’t have to look for me anymore. I will find evidence to clear my name. Before I find anything,
please
don’te into my life and disturb me.” This sentence drew a clear line in their rtionship.
“Must you be like this?”
She smiled. “Mr. Winthrop, is there any use for you to say all these now? It’s better for you to calm
Ophelia
down. When the truth surfaces, she won’t be just staying in the police station for a few days.”
“Elspeth…” Callum frowned.
“Stop calling my name. I’m leaving.”
Callum had always been clever. It was out of her expectation that he couldn’t see clearly in these
things. She didn’t want to waste her breath on this man who couldn’t distinguish between what was
right and wrong, so
she turned around and left right away.
Seeing her leave, Callum felt strangely frustrated. After he sent a text to Hex, he left the bar and
returned to the hospital to look after Margot.
On the other hand, as soon as Elspeth left the ce, her phone rang suddenly and caught her off
guard.
It was a text from Yelena, but the content made her on tenterhooks ‘Save me, Elspeth!”
Those words frightened Elspeth. Just as she wanted to dial Yelena’s number, her actions came to a
halt at the
Based on Yelena’s hasty personality, she would never contact her through text messages. So, there
were only two possibilities. Either someone held Yelena down, took her phone, and threatened her to
send the text, or she was hiding, so she couldn’t call her.
At this thought, she quickly used her phone to locate Yelena. With some hacking skills, she was able to
find Yelena’s location within seconds. This ce..
She frowned when she saw the location. Isn’t this the ce where I talked to Callum just now? Even
though she had some doubts, she still rushed to the ce in a hurry.
Not only that she had a close rtionship with Yelena, but Yelena was also a top star in the
entertainment industry. If anything happened to her, the whole industry might be in chaos.
When she rushed to the location, Callum had already left. She looked up and down carefully and even
looked under the bench but didn’t find anyone. Where is this location, then?
Suddenly, her steps came to a halt when she heard a slow and rhythmic knocking from the bottom
of the wooden floor. Knock. Knock Knock.
Elspeth immediately knew where Yelena was.
At this thought, she dashed toward the entrance of the basement.
Basements were usually used to store wine, so the door was shut. There was even a password lock
hanging on it. If an outsider entered the wrong password, the rm program would be activated
automatically. By that time, Yelena might be in great danger.
She carefully studied the password lock and found out that this kind of lock was not difficult to decrypt
as Mark had taught her how to do it before. The decryption process just needed a few simple
applications.
So, she took out her miniptop from her bag and keyed in a series of codes, hacking into the hotel’s
security system. After that, she got her hands on the basement’s password in the nick of time.
Once the door was opened, Elspeth crept into the basement step by step. Even though the basement
was dark, she didn’t dare turn on the lights, so she could only depend on the faint glow of the luminous
pearls on the wall
to find her way.
The source of the knock was getting closer. She just needed to open the door in front of her before
seeing
Yelena.
At this moment, the knock suddenly became a rapid thump, but within three seconds, it turned back
into a
slow knock.
Elspeth’s hand on the doorknob froze for a moment. She stayed alert as she held a dagger that was
hidden in her sleeves in her left hand and hid it behind her back, while she continued to open the door
with her right
hand.
As expected, the first thing she saw after opening the door was Yelena being tied up on a chair. Her
hair was a mess, and she looked feeble.
Noticing that Elspeth was unmoved, she tried hard to say something, but only grunts could be heard. In
the end, she jumped up sharply, knocking her head against the ceiling.
At this moment, Elspeth smiled secretly, as it was just like what she thought-the rhythmic knock was
not caused by Yelena, but the heavy thump was.
“It’s okay. I’m here to save you.” She put on a faint smile. Just as she took a step forward, the door was
suddenly shut.
“I knew it! I knew you would walk into this trap on your own feet!”
When she turned around, she saw a strange man with a face mask, looking ferocious. Puzzled, she
asked, “Do you know me?”
“Of course! Not only do I know you, I even hold a grudge against you!”
“Well, let’s hear it.”
The man put on an evil smile with a death stare. “If it wasn’t because you chose Yelena, the Winthrop
Group should be coborating with my artist. But now, not only did she not want me as her manager
anymore, but she even asked every artist in the entertainment industry to boycott me. I lost my job.
How am I supposed to
feed my family? Now, don’t you think you should go to hell?”
It was a minor problem for his artist to abandon him, but he would rather be dead than alive if he
