Chapter 476


    CHAPTER 476 TALK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY


    Who knew if Elspeth''s words even got through to Jasmine? After all, the young woman just stood there


    with her head lowered. Then again, she was shuddering. Could she be crying?


    However, Elspeth didn''t feel bad for her at all, as she didn''t deserve pity when her gullibility led her to


    this.


    At that, she walked past Jasmine indifferently into thepany.


    Later at 10.00AM, she received a call when she was sorting out some documents.


    As troubled as she felt when she saw the caller ID, she still answered it.


    "Are you in the middle of something, Elspeth? There''s something I''d like to talk to you about." Haris


    didn''t talk to her about Jasmine right off the bat, but she knew it''d likely be that.


    "I am, actually. Can it wait until I get off work?"


    Toward Haris, she still had a modicum of respect as, after all, the man had taught her many things and


    was practically like a mentor to her.


    "Alright, I''ll send a car to pick you up. We''ll meet up," Haris saidposedly.


    However, Elspeth didn''t agree to it at once, and it seemed that Haris saw through her worry as he


    added, "Don''t worry. This is between you and me. I won''t tell Jasmine."


    "Alright, see you at six." Elspeth hesitated no more because she knew the elder wasn''t lying.


    After hanging up, she massaged her aching shoulder and devised a counterattack for the meetingter


    at night.


    She had practically figured out what Haris wanted to tell her—helping Jasmine convince her to divorce


    Callum.


    She was indeed somewhat ashamed to face Haris as she had personally promised him she wouldn''t


    have anything to do with Callum anymore and wouldn''t ruin their marriage, after all.


    Then again… she didn''t actually ruin their marriage. Callum was mostly the one behind the n, and


    she was arguably the innocent one that had been dragged into this inexplicably.


    It wasn''t until Callum came to mind that she realized she''d be going out alone again that night. Hence,


    she called the man and told him about the situation.


    "You''re not going." Though it didn''t sound like Callum was worked up, it was still a definitive no toward


    her request.


    "Why not?" She picked up a hint of nervousness from his voice.


    "I''m worried something will happen to you," Callum said frankly instead of hiding it.


    "What''s there to be worried about? I''m pretty close to Old Mr. McGrath. I promise he won''t do anything


    to me."


    "It might not be as simple as you think. Old Mr. McGrath is Jasmine''s grandfather, after all. He''ll


    certainly side with her." All Callum cared about now was Elspeth''s well-being. He just didn''t want her to


    receive any harm.


    "I know. But I have spent over half a month with him. I don''t think he''s the unreasonable type."


    They had spent a few nights and days together, after all. So, they had a pretty good grasp of each


    other''s true nature. Hence, it was why Haris would speak nicely to her instead of questioning her over


    the phone.


    "Either way, a foolproof n needs to be in store. How about this? I''ll go with you." Callum decided to


    apany her personally.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea."


    Just the thought of Callum sitting frostily aside, boring into them as they chatted, made Elspeth very


    ufortable. What was more, she couldn''t guarantee that Callum wouldn''t do anything to Haris.


    "How is it not a good idea? You''re my wife. Is it wrong of me to follow you around?"


    Well, this role sure does make every situation justifiable.


    Since Callum insisted, Elspeth didn''t turn him down anymore. Instead, she told him toe to her


    company sooner after he got off work.


    And sure enough, a car was waiting outside when she got off work in the evening.


    Callum still hadn''t shown up, so Elspeth decided to wait at the entrance for a while when the ck


    Maybach''s door opened suddenly.


    "Elspeth, why aren''t youing in?"


    Elspeth had thought Haris would wait for her at their rendezvous, but to her surprise, the elder had


    personallye.


    It ttered her a little, but at the same time, a sliver of bewilderment arose within her.


    "Hold on. He''s not here yet."


    The smile on Haris'' face stiffened at once. "Who''s he? Callum?"


    "Yeah… He said he wanted to join us."


    At this point, nearly everyone had heard about her marriage to Callum. Though it wasn''t a full-on


    disclosure, those shrewd would be able to figure it out.


    Hence, there was no reason for her to hide it from Haris.


    "I didn''t expect you two to be so close. Haha, looks like I''m the imposing one."


    "You don''t mind, do you?" She still had to ask out of politeness though it didn''t matter if he did.


    After all, not just anybody could turn any decision Callum made easily.


    "Of course, I don''t mind. What''s there to mind? I''ve asked to meet with you to chat and ask about some


    things in the first ce. With Callum around, things will be much easier."


    As they talked about Callum, Elspeth suddenly felt a warm sensationing from her palm, and she


    realized arge hand had wrapped around hers.


    At that, she looked up to find her new husband standing next to her, on high alert.


    Haris was a shrewd guy who had lived for a few decades, after all. His heart skipped a beat too when


    he saw the young man in protective mode.


    "Rx. I''ve onlye to have a chat with Elspeth. No need to be on guard, Mr. Winthrop."


    "You''re overreacting, Old Mr. McGrath. I''m merely apanying my wife. I won''t do anything. Didn''t


    you say you wanted to chat? Where are we heading?"

    Though Elspeth knew Haris might not mean any harm, she still felt touched when she watched Callum


    standing up for her.


    Actually, life after marriage isn''t so bad…


    "Right, I nearly forgot about that. Hop in. I''ll take you guys there."


    With that, the two sat in the back seat with their hands remaining tightly held.


    Even Haris couldn''t help teasing them about it. "You two sure get along well. Looks like Jasmine has


    interfered in your rtionship."


    "Naturally," Callum affirmed at once, leading Elspeth to tug his fingers lightly, signaling that he had


    crossed the line. But the elder was broad-minded and didn''t mind Callum''s words. Instead, he just


    smiled thoughtfully.


    Soon, the three arrived at a hotel and took their seats after entering a private room.


    "I wonder what you''d like to talk to my wife about today, Old Mr. McGrath." Callum deliberately


    emphasized the word ''wife'' to boost Elspeth''s confidence.


    "An old man like me naturally hadn''t called Elspeth over for anything else." Haris took a sip of the tea


    on the table before continuing. "I want to talk to her about her family."


    Elspeth didn''t know why, but Arthur''s words suddenly popped into her head.
