Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 102


    Arthur’s words that day did cause a heavy impact on Elspeth.


    Callum noticed that Elspeth was in a daze so he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s on your mind, Elspeth?”


    Elspeth snapped out of her thoughts and the nk look in her eyes disappeared. “I was thinking about


    what Arthur said. I think…”


    “You also think that Arthur isn’t as simple as he seems, right?”


    Callum looked into Elspeth’s eyes and immediately guessed what she was thinking.


    “Previously, Arthur used Mrs. Winthrop’s life to threaten me, but this time, he grabbed the weapon in


    Ophelia’s hands to save Mrs. Winthrop. Does he care about Mrs. Winthrop or not? What do you think?”


    Arthur’s actions and behavior were too strange. Elspeth couldn’t figure out what Arthur was up to.


    “What about you?”


    “I think he faked the whole incident of him snatching the weapon.”

    Although Callum did know Arthur for decades now, he didn’t understand Arthur all that well as their


    rtionship wasn’t great.


    However, after hearing what Elspeth said, even though he had his suspicions, he couldn’t resist


    querying


    further.


    “Faked it?”


    “That’s right. It had to have been an act. Think about it. Would a normal, decent child joke around with


    his mother’s life? You can’t possibly think the incident with Mrs. Winthrop’s respirator tube being pulled


    out was just an ident, right? The nurses would check on her every day. Arthur’s the hospital director.


    Who would have dared to do such a thing if they didn’t have his permission?”


    Elspeth’s analysis was wless.


    “Mom has always been very good to him.”


    Callum pressed his lips together. His tone became a little grim.


    “I know. Mrs. Winthrop loves all her children. Still, look at what Arthur has done the past few times. Do


    you think he’s someone who knows how to be grateful?” Elspeth snorted at the recollection of what


    Arthur said in the past.


    Callum lost all trust in the younger brother he had known for over a decade.


    “But, before that, you must remember to take good care of Mrs. Winthrop. Even though she’s not in any


    danger now, you must be prepared for anything and everything.”


    Callum nodded. All of a sudden, he had an uneasy feeling in his chest. “You need to be careful too.”


    “I know. If Ophelia tries to get back at me, I’ll be prepared for her too.”


    A thought urred to Callum. He walked over to Elspeth and held her shoulders. “If she does do


    something to you, you don’t need to show her any mercy. Just do whatever you want.”


    “Got it.”


    Elspeth’s heart flitted with joy at his words.


    “By the way, it’ll soon be the fifth anniversary of ke’s debut in the industry. I think he wants to hold a


    concert on that day, so we should attend it.”


    Elspeth remembered that ke mentioned this to her this morning as well, so she nodded. “Alright.


    Let’s attend it together when the timees.”


    “However, there’s still something we haven’t dealt with yet.”


    Before Callum could finish speaking, Elspeth cut in. “You’re talking about Alphascape, right?”


    Callum had a small smile on his face as he said, “That’s right. Since my mother’s situation has been


    resolved.


    why don’t we start making our move tonight? One of my men has checked and informed me that


    Dominic doesn’t have any meetings tonight, whether internal or external. Let’s invite him out and


    discuss a particrly


    significant business deal.”


    Elspeth burst outughing. “Sure. Let’s do it tonight. I’m free too.”


    Thus, the two of them invited Dominic out without further ado.


    Dominic had only just pulled one over Winthrop Group. He was still a little intimidated and felt


    apprehensive of Callum, but when he heard that it was Elspeth who specifically invited him out, his


    beady eyes shone.


    My, my. What a night it’d be if I got my hands on that fine young woman……


    Elspeth didn’t even have to say much before Dominic rushed over impatiently.


    Inside the private room at the hotel.


    Dominic spotted Elspeth sitting nearby and his eyes remained glued to her the whole time.


    As Dominic spoke, he reached his hand out to cop a feel of Elspeth’s body.


    Elspeth dodged ever so slightly before saying with a smile, “There’s no rush, Mr. Little. Let’s talk


    business first before we talk about anything else.”


    Her lilting voice made Dominic feel hot and heady. He quickly nodded. “Sure. Of course. Let’s talk


    business first, and then we’ll talk about the rest.”


    “I want to be clear with you regarding that piece ofnd.” Elspeth pursed her lips and announced with a


    look of reluctance, “We don’t want thend anymore. Can you rescind the contract?”


    Dominic was taken aback as he didn’t expect Elspeth to be this direct. She didn’t even bother starting


    with any pleasantries first.


    “That’s sudden. Why do you not want it anymore? Is there a problem with that piece ofnd?”


    “Well, Mr. Little, there’s a gold mine underneath that piece ofnd, and Winthrop Group isn’t involved in


    the mining industry. That’s why I think it’s better if thend went to yourpany instead.”


    Dominic’s eyes grew wide. “A gold mine?”


    Why didn’t he know there was a gold mine underneath that piece ofnd?


    Furthermore, he was the one who inspected thend himself. It was a piece ofnd that wasn’t even fit


    for


    construction.


    Elspeth’s eyes widened as well. She looked a little lost as she said, “That’s right. Didn’t you know about


    this? Thend isn’t fit for construction because it has arge deposit of gold beneath the surface.


    That’s why it’ll affect all construction work… What happened? Didn’t the surveyors tell yourpany


    about this?”


    Her ster acting seemed to have done the trick as Dominic began to panic.


    If there truly was arge deposit of gold beneath thend, then they would have incurred a monumental


    loss.


    But, what if….. Elspeth is lying? What if it’s just this woman’s attempt to hoodwink us? It would be too


    late if


    they only found out once the contract was signed.


    “Then… can you let me take a look at the geotechnical report? If it’s true, then I’ll immediately draw up


    a new contract and buy thend back at the original price.”


    Elspeth responded with a smile, “Now, now, Mr. Little. That’s not very nice of you. We’re the ones who


    discovered the gold mine. Logically speaking, thend already belongs to us, and now that there’s gold


    there, the price to be paid for thend needs to be multiplied as well. Don’t you think that’s only


    reasonable?”


    “On what grounds?”


    Elpeth cocked her head and smiled. “Mr. Little, you’ve been working in the corporate world for decades


    nOW. Don’t tell me you still don’t know the rules of business.”


    “Miss Lynwood, although I admire your talents, I don’t understand what you mean by this. Thend


    belonged to us in the first ce and we’re trying to get it back now. How did it be yournd?”


    Elspeth leaned back and turned to Callum. “Why don’t we just forget about it, Mr. Winthrop?”
