Chapter 449
Chapter 449 Fire Him
"What''s the reason for your sudden visit?" Elspeth was so nervous that she seemed flustered and lost
for words.
Sure enough, what she feared the most would alwayse true.
"Why? Did my sudden arrival disrupt your alone time together?"
Even now, Callum''s cold voice didn''t show his displeasure with this situation.
Unfortunately, she knew that he was definitely fuming with anger. Moreover, his rage was on the verge
of exploding at any moment.
"Of course not. I''m just a little surprised."
Callum nced at the man who was happily making himself busy inside the kitchen and narrowed his
eyes. "Can you exin to me the reason behind his presence here?"
He stared at the pajamas she was wearing and immediately guessed that they had probably spent the
night together. The very thought made the light in his eyes dim slightly.
"He came to visit mest night for something important. Unfortunately, he couldn''t call a cab for his
return trip and ended up sleeping here for the night." After she said that, she seemed worried that he
might misunderstand her and quickly added an exnation, "He slept on the couch. I barely had any
contact with him."
If the other party had been anybody else, Callum might have tolerated it and ignored the issue. s,
the other party was none other than Jethro. Jethro was somebody who was eyeing Elspeth hungrily,
which made Callum very uneasy.
"Are you still unwilling to tell me the truth at this point?"
His expression changed drastically. It almost seemed as though ayer of frost was covering his entire
face, and even the look in his eyes became sinister. A single freezing re from him would send
shivers down anybody''s back.
The faint stench of alcohol wafting in the air had assaulted his nose as soon as he walked through the
door. If the two had not been drinking together, then Jethro definitely drunkenly paid her a visit.
Unfortunately, both scenarios made him highly displeased.
Elspeth couldn''t help but flinch as she caught sight of his frosty expression.
Jethro, who had been washing the dishes in the kitchen, just had to stick his head out of the door at
this moment. He looked at her and broke into a silly grin. "I''ve finished washing the dishes. I''ll mop the
floorster… Oh? You''re here, Mr. Winthrop! Have you eaten breakfast yet? I prepared some breakfast
earlier. Would you like to join us?"
When Callum did not seem moved by the invitation, he boldly stepped forward and personally extended
an invitation to Callum once more. "I''m confident in the taste of the food I cook. You should try it out,
Mr. Winthrop…"
"Was this what you meant by ''something urgent''? Did you invite him over to make breakfast for you?"
Not only did he prepare breakfast for Elspeth, but he also tried to invite me to breakfast as the head of
the house.

At this point, Callum no longer wanted to see Jethro for another second.
Jethro froze in astonishment, the cloth in his hand falling to the ground. Then, the trace of a sneer
appeared on his face. "Mr. Winthrop, are you misunderstanding something? Although you are no
longer engaged to Miss McGrath, you shouldn''t try to flirt with Elspeth so openly when it''s only the
second day since your breakup. Listen to your own aggressive tone. It''s almost as though she had
done something to betray you."
Those words sounded half-hearted. Moreover, he couldn''t help feeling increasingly irritated and
annoyed at Callum.
He used to ignore Elspeth as though he didn''t care for her. So, why is he barging into her house and
questioning her so aggressively? This guy is probably a sc*mbag.
Jethro believed that he was upholding justice on behalf of Elspeth, but Elspeth''s voice suddenly
became stern. "Jethro, please don''t speak nonsense."
At this time, every single wording out of his mouth jabbed directly at Callum''s buttons. She
absolutely could not allow that to happen.
"Nonsense? Have you forgotten how he used to bully you in the past? Elspeth, I know you might not
have gotten over him. But you can''t just follow him blindly every time he stretches his hand out to you!
Besides, what''s so great about him? Why are you so obsessed over him?"
He seemed extremely disappointed in her. He hated how her obsession with Callum made it so difficult
for her to even consider extricating herself from her addiction. So, he honestly couldn''t stop himself
from trying to drag her out of the hole she was in.
Her expression instantly turned cold. "My rtionship with him is none of your business, and you have
no right to interfere in my affairs. Now, please get out of my house."
He never imagined that his act of kindness would be regarded as an eyesore. Thus, he was so furious
that hisplexion turned a shade of purple. "I''ve always endured everything with a smile, no matter
how you push me away. But you''ve gone too far. Do you even have a heart, Elspeth? I didn''t know you
could be so cruel."
Then, he removed the apron around his waist and threw the apron to the ground with great force.
"Fine, I''ll leave. I wish you happiness. Don''t be yed to your death."
His smile had vanished entirely as he turned around with cold indifference. He didn''t even forget to
m the door behind him as he left.
Elspeth felt her heart squirm uneasily as she nced at Jethro''s departing back. Still, she couldn''t help
feeling a sense of foreboding washing over her.
Just then, Callum''s cool voice came from behind her. "What''s wrong? Are you reluctant to part with
him?"
"Of course not. It''s not like I have anything going on with him…"
He raised an eyebrow at her words, but most of the rage stewing in him earlier had dissipated away.
He knew that she had no interest in Jethro while the man in question harbored a one-sided affection for
her. Nevertheless, he couldn''t help feeling difited to see how Jethro pursued her so persistently.
I''m d I finally managed to get rid of him.
"You are not allowed to host him in the future."
She studied his nk expression and realized that he seemed furious. After a few seconds, she
couldn''t handle it any longer, and she burst into peals ofughter. Regardless, she immediately
reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck in order to soothe his ruffled feathers. "I got it.
Don''t worry."
It did not take long before she realized that she did not know the reason for his arrival, so she inquired,
"By the way, why did youe here unannounced?"
"I missed you. Can''t Ie just for that reason?"
She rarely heard such wordsing from his mouth, and her expression immediately flushed bright
red. "I never expected you to have such a flirty side, Mr. Winthrop."
He sped her hand with a deep gaze. "What''s wrong? Don''t you like it?"
"I''m just not used to seeing you like this."
In all honesty, she could not get used to his sudden flirty behavior. She had always been the one who
took the initiative in the past. Thus, she couldn''t help feeling slightly ufortable now that he had
turned the tables on her.
On the other hand, Callum could never bring himself to tell her the real reason for his arrival. He had
received a message from his assistant as soon as he woke up this morning.
ording to the men monitoring Jethro, Jethro had stumbled in a particr direction on his own after
getting drunk at the Luna Barst night. Callum immediately realized something after listening to the
description. It was Elspeth''s home. Moreover, the report indicated that Jethro had been loitering around
her house every night recently.
The knowledge annoyed Callum immensely that he immediately drove here in his car. He wanted to
warn Elspeth to stay away from Jethro. Who could have known that he would catch them red-handed?
The thought made his expression darken once more. "If you havee into further contact with him in
the future, I will make him disappear from Damoria forever."
Elspeth nodded, knowing deep down in her heart that he was not joking. "I promised you that I would
keep my distance from him. I will keep my promise. So, don''t worry about it."
After further consideration, he added a statement that was even more excessive than before. "Is he
currently working as an idol for yourpany?"
She nodded, which could be regarded as an agreement. "He is one of the top idols in thepany."
He immediately spoke in a manner that did not allow any objections, "Fire him."
