    Chapter 364 Knights in Shining Armor


    Of the people who had yet to leave, a bitter-looking woman said contemptuously, “Since thepany is


    closing down, why would we evene back?”


    Elspeth smiled but didn’t utter a word.


    “Alright. We won’t say more. It’s not like we’re heartless people.” The woman snorted. “By the way, those


    from the Alphascape Group said that as long as you’re willing to sell your shares, Miss Lynwood, they’ll


    go easy on the Azure Corporation.”


    “Don’t worry. I won’t sell even a single share. I’d rather let thepany go bankrupt than merge with the


    Alphascape Group.”


    Elspeth squinted and smiled.


    It’s no wonder the people in mypany are acting rebellious. Those from the Alphascape Group are


    behind all this!


    The woman shot her a look and barked, “Good luck, then.”


    With that, she turned around and left with the people who intended to jump ship to anotherpany.


    When those who stayed saw that Elspeth was slightly pale, they were worried.

    “Miss Lynwood, are you feeling unwell?”


    A sensitive Ang realized that Elspeth wasn’t in the pink of health.


    “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”


    The moment Elspeth finished speaking, she felt dizzy all of a sudden. Just as she was about to copse,


    she steadied herself by clenching the armrests.


    “Miss Lynwood!” Ang eximed in shock.


    Elspeth felt a metallic tang in her throat. When she looked down, she realized there was a bit of blood on


    the table.


    “Send me to the hospital, Harper.”


    Elspeth’s voice was weak, and her face was as pale as a white sheet.


    “Yes! Right away!”


    Ignoring the fact that they were of different genders, Harper carried Elspeth and dashed out of the room.


    He then sent her to the hospital in the shortest time possible. Subsequently, Elspeth was examined and


    sent to the ward.


    When Harper saw how frail Elspeth was while thettery on the bed, he asked the doctor worriedly,


    “What happened to her, doctor?”


    The doctor looked at the medical report with a solemn expression.


    “She’s been struck with a strange illness. We can’t find any record of it in medical history. As such, I don’t


    know how to treat her.”


    “A strange illness?”


    The doctor nodded. “Yes. I’ve never encountered it before. I’ll go through the recordster and see if


    there are simr cases.”


    A helpless Harper replied, “I got it. Thanks, doctor.”


    After the doctor was gone, Harper shifted his attention to Elspeth.


    “Miss Lynwood, how many things are you hiding from me?”


    He had never heard Elspeth mention that she was ill.


    “I’m fine. It’s nothing serious. I’ll get well soon.”


    Elspeth didn’t think it was necessary to tell him or anyone else about it, for she didn’t want the people


    around her to feel worried.


    “It’s nothing serious? The doctor said that he’s never encountered such an illness before, and no record


    of it has been found in medical history.”


    Harper sounded harsh, and there was a hint of displeasure behind his gaze. It was as though he was


    ming Elspeth for not telling him about it.


    “Harper, what gives you the audacity to speak to me like this?”


    Elspeth smiled helplessly.


    As though realizing he was too harsh on the woman, Harper was startled. Then, he said meekly, “I’m just


    worried about you. Moreover, you puked blood. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about such a serious


    matter.”


    He thought that Elspeth was treating him like an outsider.


    “Alright. Don’t worry about me. Regardless of what kind of illness it is, I’ll solve the crisis facing the


    company.”


    Harper was so exasperated that he had the urge tough.


    “Why are you still worried about thepany when you’re sick? It’s fine even if thepany is gone. We


    can still make aeback in the future. However, if your illness isn’t treated, no one will manage the


    company even if the crisis is solved.”


    Harper had the urge to poke her forehead with his finger.


    Alright. I might have crossed the line.


    Elspeth coughed. “Don’t worry. I’ll get well.”


    Just then, a series of knocks were heard at the door when they were having a chat.


    They looked in the same direction, and when they registered the presence of the two people at the door,


    they were stunned.


    “What’s wrong? Are you surprised to see me?”


    Frank was the first to enter as he sat down on a chair and picked up an apple. After taking a bite, he


    pursed his lips. “How can you let her eat something so sour, Harper?”


    Even more surprisingly, Jordan, who had disappeared for a long time, hade to visit as well.


    “Don’t you wee us?”


    Jordan smirked and took a seat.


    “Of course, I wee you. But why are you here all of a sudden? And how do you…”


    I didn’t tell them I’m still alive. How do they know I’m here?


    Frank rolled his eyes and scoffed. “Do you think you can fool us with such a simple trick?”


    Jordan chuckled and said, “That’s right. The show you’d put up was too dramatic. Certainly, no one


    believed that you were dead.”


    Elspeth initially thought that the show she’d put up was impable. Furthermore, she had Edmund’s


    help at that time. As such, she supposed everyone believed that she was dead.


    It never crossed her mind that these two people had seen through her act.


    “Does Grandfather know I’m still alive?”


    Elspeth looked doubtfully at them.


    Frank nodded. “I think Grandpa is aware of it, but I believe he won’t cause you any trouble for now.”


    Michael had realized that he was unable to restrain this granddaughter, so he had given up on it.


    Elspeth was relieved when she heard that.


    “So, what’s the purpose of you visiting me this time?”


    At the mention of it, Frank couldn’t help but chastise her by saying, “Do you even remember that you’re


    my cousin? Yourpany is in trouble, but you’d rather seek Callum’s help thane looking for me.”


    Elspeth felt a sense of warmth when she heard that.


    In truth, she didn’t intend to go looking for Frank, nor was she ready to tell him she was still alive.


    However, she soon realized something was off.


    “Wait a minute. How do you know I went to ask for Callum’s help?”


    Elspeth grew suspicious in an instant.


    While Frank was startled, Jordan snorted. “It’s not like it’s hard to know what’s on your mind. Since the


    Azure Corporation is in trouble, you’d most likely go to Callum, for he’s the closest help you can get.”


    Is that really the case?


    Although his reason was valid, she felt that it wasn’t the truth for some reason.


    “So, you…”


    When Frank saw that Jordan had helped him out of trouble, he arched his brow and said confidently,


    “Don’t worry. Since we’re here, we won’t let yourpany fail.”


    To the Azure Corporation, they were no different from knights in shining armor.
