Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 174


    After four hours had passed, Elspeth still hadn’t received the ginkgo. She didn’t know what to do. In the


    end, she called and found out that Sonny had sent the ginkgo to the Winthrop Residence in


    Damoria. She then made a call to Winthrop Residence, but no one answered. She was met with the


    dial tone instead.The moment she hung up the phone, an unknown number called her. When she


    picked up, the voice on the other end of the phone shocked her.“Elspeth, what are you looking for? Is it


    the ginkgo?”Arthur’s prideful voice was heard over the phone.As soon as she heard his voice, the bad


    premonition she had was immediately confirmed. She immediately understood that the ginkgo was now


    in his hands.She felt her heart drop.“I heard Callum is seriously injured. You’re not nning to give this


    ginkgo to him, are you?”Elspeth’s voice was cold when she answered, “You were behind this, weren’t


    you?”Arthur seemed like he was in a good mood as he said, “Of course not. But I’ve heard about


    what’s going on.”“Arthur, give it back to me.”He was far from an angel, nor was he easygoing. He was


    still furious after getting humiliated thest time they met. “Give it back? Why should I give you


    something that I’ve found? Don’t you think it’s a coincidence that I saw this parcel right when I decided


    to go back to the Winthrop Residence? If I didn’t open it out of curiosity, I wouldn’t have known that this


    was the life-saving ginkgo.”“What exactly do you want?!”Callum didn’t have time to spare, so Elspeth


    couldn’t just let Arthur have the ginkgo.Arthur was pleased that he managed to provoke her and threw


    his final blow. “If you want it back, you’ll have to agree to my conditions.”Although Elspeth was furious,


    she had no choice but to calm herself down and asked, “Tell me, then! What do you want?!”“There’s no


    fun if I just tell you outright. How about you take a guess?”Elspeth could hear the smile in his voice, and


    she knew what he wanted without a second thought.She asked tentatively, “The Winthrop Group’s


    shares?”“Oh!” The corners of Arthur’s lips curled up. “Elspeth, you know me so well. Why don’t you


    break up with Callum ande with me? Not only will the ginkgo be yours, but the Winthrop Group’s


    shares will also be yours.”Elspeth felt disgusted and interjected instantly, “Arthur, are there any other


    conditions?”Her words surprised him. “Of course not. I only want the shares and you. I don’t want


    anything else.”“Arthur, I am your elder brother’s girlfriend.”He pursed his lips for a moment before aProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    devilish smile formed on his face. “I know, but isn’t that more interesting?”“Shameless.”“Go on.”Elspeth


    knew she wasn’t in a good position to negotiate. In the end, she didn’t bother arguing further and


    immediately told him to meet up.“Come to ydal. Bring the ginkgo, and let’s talk.”She couldn’t give up


    the Winthrop Group to him, but she knew she couldn’t tell him about that. Otherwise, it would infuriate


    him.Arthur didn’t trust her, fearing that she might lie to him. “Don’t try and trick me into going to ydal


    before ambushing me there. I’m telling you. If you try to pull something off, I can destroy you any


    time.”Elspeth didn’t bother to argue with this lunatic and said softly, “Don’t worry. I won’t lie to you.


    Don’t we have to meet up to sign the transfer contract?”Although he was still on edge, he hesitantly


    agreed to her request. Damoria was only two hours away from ydal by ne. Callum was still in a


    coma due to the poison. Elspeth mused over it and decided to temporarily allow the family doctor to


    take care of him. Then, she went out alone to meet Arthur.They made an appointment in a five-star


    hotel not far from the Joneson Residence since the hotel had really good sound instion.When she


    finally arrived, Arthur was already inside, drinking tea by himself.“You’re finally here. I thought you lied


    to me.” Raising his chin slightly, he motioned for her to take a seat.She picked a seat furthest away


    from him and didn’t bother touching the cup of water.Arthur yed with the cup in his hand and teased


    her, “What’s wrong? Are you scared of the ss of water? I’m not a monster. How could I do something


    to you here? I wouldn’t dare to drug you.”However, she ignored him and went straight to the point. “Did


    you bring the ginkgo?”“I did, but it’s not with me at the moment. It’s upstairs in the hotel room. Do you


    want toe and see it with me?”When Elspeth looked up, she noticed that he was staring at her with


    great interest. There was a faint smile on his face and a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“It’s fine. Tell me.


    Are you only going to hand it over after I’ve transferred the shares to you?”Arthur shrugged. “I suppose


    so.”“But right now, Callum is in aa. I can’t transfer the shares to you until he wakes up.”What she


    said made sense, but Arthur wasn’t satisfied with her answer. “Once you’ve used the ginkgo, and


    Callum is awake, what leverage do I have left?”She wasn’t being pushy or dismissive. “If you don’t trust


    me, then record what we said. If I don’t keep up my end of the deal, you can sue me any


    time.”However, he shook his head. “Elspeth, you’re too smart for your own good. As long as you say


    something indirectly, verbal promises won’t have legal effects. Do you think I’m stupid?”Such a weak lie


    couldn’t fool him at all. He saw Elspeth sitting there with her back straight, and an evil thought surfaced


    in his mind.He leaned closer to her and clung to her.“Or you can sleep with me tonight, and I’ll give it to


    you.”She looked at him in disgust. When she saw his perverted smile, she lifted her hand and pped


    him in the face.He didn’t react immediately as the smack came as a shock to him.After a while, he


    slowly turned to look at her with a menacing look. His reddened eyes were wide open as he stared at


    her viciously. He was disgruntled by what had happened, yet he seemed to enjoy it as well.“Spicy, but I


    like it.”Arthur pushed the tip of his tongue against his inner cheek and felt the wound in his mouth. He


    felt a subtle pain. “With such a big reaction, it must mean that you haven’t slept with a man yet, have


    you? Callum is such a gentleman. I would have pounced on you a long time ago.”“Arthur, you are


    disgusting.”Seeing that her negotiation failed, she decided to get ginkgo another way. She stood up


    and prepared to leave.However, before she could even start walking, her whole body went limp, and


    she fell back onto the chair.Warning bells immediately went off in Elspeth’s head.“I lit an incense in the


    room. I’m sorry, but I’m not a gentleman. I’m a monster.”He caressed her face with his right hand,


    smiling devilishly. “Elspeth, do you think Callum would be mad if I slept with his girlfriend, whom he has


    yet to sleep with?”Elspeth wanted to fight back, but she gradually lost consciousness.Thest thing she


    saw before her world went dark was an evil and hungry look in Arthur’s eyes. His face was smug as he


    waited for the opportunity.
