Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 99
“The president of Alphascape Group gave me a call out of the blue the other day, iming that he
wants to discuss a coboration with me. Knowing that we’d always been at odds with them, I didn’t
agree to meet him, but thepany vice president kept inviting me, so I reluctantly agreed. After that, I
went to check out thatnd, and he said that they didn’t have much time to deal with it. On the other
hand, we happen to be well- funded, so they wanted to sell it to us. I didn’t think that thend would
turn out to be like this. I swear, it really didn’t hit me that he would scam me so tantly..”
Elspeth could sense his remorse and said, “Alright, I get the idea.” Massaging the center of her
forehead, she thought, Edmund had let his guard down. “I’ll contact Alphascape Group in a few days
and make them take back thisnd by hook or by crook.”
Her words made Edmund’s heart stir. It suddenly struck him that even though he was the vice president
of Winthrop Group, he didn’t even have the guts and courage that she had, and he felt ashamed of
himself.
“Okay, we’ll speak about it when the timees.
Edmund paused for a second. Something popped up in his mind suddenly and he asked, “Elspeth, my
mother
“She’ll be fine soon. I’ll let you know once she’s awake.“
All of a sudden, she recalled that she was out to make coffee for Callum and realized that she had
been away for too long after checking the time. So, she hurried back.
“What happened? It took you thirty minutes just to make a coffee?” Callum said with a frown, staring at
her.
Elspeth cleared her throat awkwardly. “Nothing happened. I just got carried away, so I took a little more
time.”
“That’s right. There’s something I want to discuss with you.” Then, he ced the form on the table in
front of her. “I just found out that Edmund signed an agreement with Alphascape while I was away, and
we made a loss
of 7.5 million.”
“Maybe he let his guard down. Just guide him properly.”
As Callum didn’t think that she would speak up for Edmund, he couldn’t help but snap. “What? Are you
worried that I’ll tell him off?”
“He’s your brother, not mine. You can tell him off if you want. It has got nothing to do with me.”
Shrugging, she appeared uninterested in being involved in their affairs.
“The important thing now is to get back this 7.5 million. This is Alphascape’s problem, and I won’t let
them get away easily with this.”
Leaning in closer she asked. “No vou have any ideas then?”
“I have a n, but I’ll need your help.”
Out of reflex, Elspeth held her chest. “Are you nning to ask me to seduce that old man?”
“Of course not.” Callum cast her a surprised look. “Why would you even think of that?”
Sheepishly, she rubbed her nose. “Well, carry on.”
“I n to get you to ask Dominic Little out andy a honey trap for him at that time. Although Dominic is
vicious and scheming, he has a weak spot for beautiful women,” he exined, turning the pen in his
hand casually. “Of course, I’ll hire someone else to y the part of the beautiful woman.”
“Why should I be the one to ask him out?”
Callum paused. “That’s because I want him to assume that you’re the honey.”
“So, when should I ask him out?”
Shaking his head, he said, “Have some patience. We’ll wait until my mother wakes up.”
Just then, Sonny happened to call Elspeth, and she frowned slightly when she heard groans of pain
from the other end of the call. “What’s happening?” Why does it sound like people are fighting? she
wondered. “What are you guys doing over there?”
Realizing that he had called her, Sonny hurriedly answered, “A few burly men barged in earlier and
wanted to take away the woman on the bed…”
Everything he said afterward sounded like a blur to Elspeth, but she quickly informed Callum about this
and they rushed to the hospital together.
Pushing the door of the ward open, Elspeth saw the wreckage within and couldn’t help but ask, “Where
are
you, Sonny?”
“Here!” Suddenly, Sonny crawled out from under the bed. “I’m over here!”
The floor was covered with trembling men, and one of them wanted to get up but realized that he
couldn’t do
“Who are they?”
“I don’t know, either. These men wanted toy their hands on me, but luckily, I know some self-defense,
or I would have been hurt.”
He seemed like he was scared quite badly as he patted his own chest to calm himself.
“I used the silver needles on their numbing points, and they will need half an hour to return to their
original
state.”
“If that’s the case, why did you hide under the bed?” Elspeth thought that he had hidden under the bed
because he was in some danger.
“That’s because I’m afraid that people will take me as the culprit if they walk in and see that I’m the only
one standing here. If that happens, they might call the police on me and you’ll never see me again.”
Covering his eyes, Sonny sobbed sadly, but he would peek at them from time to time. When he saw
Elspeth ignoring him, he cried even more sadly.
Meanwhile, Callum was relieved to find Margot unharmed on the bed. “Thank you, Mr. Schwartz. My
mother would have been in danger if it wasn’t for you.”
Hearing that, Sonny realized that someone else besides Elspeth was in the room, and he quickly
stopped crying. With an awkward chuckle, he scratched his head which was full of silver hair, and said,
“I enjoy helping others. Moreover, you’re Elspeth’s friend, and that makes you a friend of mine as well.”
“How’s my mother doing. Mr. Schwartz?”
At the mention of Margot, Sonny nodded in satisfaction. “She’s fine, but she’ll be unconscious for the
time being. However, I can assure you that she’ll wake up in less than twelve hours.”

“Thank you, Mr. Schwartz.”
“Since she’s fine, you can leave now.” The edges of Elspeth’s lips curled into a smirk. “I’ve booked a
flight for you and you can leave tonight.”
The smile that was on Sonny’s face froze. “What do you mean?”
Tll repeat myself, then. You can return tonight. Mr. McCall must be missing you a lot since you’ve left
him for an entire eight hours.” Elspeth beamed, revealing her pearly whites.
“You’re so ruthless, sending me away right after you’ve made use of me.” After Sonny wiped the tears
away from the edges of his eyes, he picked up his small luggage and prepared to leave.
“Oh, that’s right, Elspeth stopped him as she watched his despondent back.
“What is it, Elsie? You can’t bear to see me leave, can you? I knew that you care about me, that’s why
you suddenly came to your senses-
“My silver needles are a little worn out. Leave yours behind for meter.”
Not only does she not care about me, but she’s even taking advantage of me, Sonny realized. Boo-
hoo, I’ll never trust anything she says in the future!
