Chapter 544


    CHAPTER 544 ABSOLUTELY INSANE


    Arthur did not bother Elspeth any longer. He merely stared at her belly with an eerie smirk.


    "Good. The child has been aborted."


    Elspeth nearly forgot that he was absolutely insane.


    "I''ll repeat it one more time—if you continue to use your underhanded ways to target those around me,


    I will ensure you will be met with a bad end."


    As she still had other things to attend to, she stopped wasting her time with him. She shot him a re


    and walked into the hospital ward.


    Inside the room, Helia had been diagnosed to have suddenly fainted due to inhaling some unknown


    gas.


    Thankfully, she was fine since she did not breathe in too much of the gas.


    Helia was still unconscious when Callum rushed into the room, having been told of Helia''s fainting


    spell.


    "What''s going on? Why would she suddenly faint?"


    Elspeth paused as a conflicted look shed across her face.


    "The doctor says it''s because she breathed in some unknown gas. On the way here, I bumped into


    Arthur. From what he said, I feel like this might be his doing."


    Callum''s eyes darkened. "He was in the meeting I attended just now, though. At the very least, he did


    not personally do this."


    Who could have done it then?


    A name shed in her mind, but she soon waved it away.


    It was not very likely for it to be her.


    Sensing a shift in her attitude, he asked, "Do you have a suspect in mind?"


    "Yes," she said.


    "Isabel."


    "Isabel."


    They had spoken the same name in unison.


    "Why would she do this though? How is she involved with Arthur?"


    Frustration rose in her. First, it was Jethro. Now, it was Isabel. Arthur seemed to love to turn the people


    around her into traitors.


    "I think I have an answer to that question."


    His words confirmed the hypothesis floating in her mind, and she bluntly asked, "Are you referring to


    Gilbert?"


    "Arthur is a very good maniptor," he said. "He was able to get Jethro on his side because he made


    use of Jethro''s love for you. Jethro is always irrational when ites to you."


    There was nothing wrong with that statement.


    "This time," he continued, "Arthur might have used Isabel''s love for Gilbert to spark the hatred deep


    within her."


    She hesitated. "Should I tell Isabel that it is not toote to turn back?"


    Isabel was rather important to her.


    Isabel was not like Jethro. Even if Jethro was evil and ruined, he still had the Wilstones backing him up.


    On the other hand, Isabel was Elspeth''s rtive.


    "Let''s not tip her off just yet."


    After a few moments of contemtion, he calmly said, "Perhaps we can use this chance to get rid of


    Arthur as well."


    As Helia was not severely ill, she was able to return home after two days of resting in the hospital.


    When they arrived home, Isabel was cooking in the kitchen. She excitedly walked out when she heard


    them walk through the door. "Miss Joneson, Miss Elspeth, Mr. Winthrop, wee back."


    She then walked over to stand beside Helia and anxiously asked, "Are you okay, Miss Joneson? I was


    so very worried when you fainted that day. I am so happy to see you all right now."


    "Yes. I''m fine now."


    Helia was brightly smiling at Isabel.


    Elspeth silently and subtly forced them apart before leading Helia back upstairs to her room. "You


    recovered not long ago. You still need to rest," she said to Helia. "Wait in your room. I''lle to get you


    when our meal is ready."


    Panic shed across Isabel''s face as though she realized Elspeth was trying to keep Isabel at a


    distance.


    Even though Elspeth noticed the sh of panic, she still shot Isabel an innocent smile. "You look upset,


    Isabel."


    "Oh, no. I was so worried about Miss Joneson that I… Alright. It''s good that you''re back. Food is ready.


    Let''s eat."


    Isabel grinned and pulled Elspeth and Callum over to the dining table before going to the kitchen to


    bring out tes of food. "I''ll personally bring Miss Joneson''s food up to herter."


    As Elspeth calmly speared a piece of potato with her fork, she calmly said, "It''s fine. I''ll bring her food


    upter myself."


    "Miss Elspeth, why are you suddenly so cold today?"


    Isabel hung her head in apparent sorrow.


    Elspeth''s heart only grew colder when she saw Isabel''s response.


    "I''m not. You''re overthinking it."


    Startled, Isabel stopped talking.


    Three dayster, a news headline made waves online.


    There was a leak that the long-dead second daughter of the Jonesons suddenly appeared out of


    nowhere. Not only that, but Helia, the long-lost daughter, was still alive and well. In addition to that, she


    was the mother of Elspeth, the wife of Callum Winthrop.


    When the news broke, someone dug up Helia''s old scandal. Everyone online was agitated by what


    they found out.


    Elspeth was born due to Callum''s uncle raping Helia. Did that mean Callum and Elspeth were cousins?


    Was this inbreeding?


    There was a huge crowd outside the Winthrop Residence, and it consisted of both reporters and


    people who were only there to watch the humiliation of the Winthrops.


    Isabel stared out at the loud group of people from a window in the living room, her face was stark white.


    "Miss Elspeth, they know all about it now. What do we do? Your and Miss Joneson''s reputation will be


    ruined!"


    On the contrary, Elspeth was calmly watching the television from her spot on the couch. She nced at


    the crowd outside and smiled. "Isabel, what would you do if it were you?"


    "I-I don''t know."


    Isabel lowered her head and mumbled to herself before softly stating, "I might want a divorce…"


    Elspeth smirked. "Okay. Then I''ll get a divorce."


    "Huh? I was only throwing the idea out. Please do not divorce just because of something I said," Isabel


    fervently said. Her face twisted in panic, terrified that Elspeth would actually do what she said. She tried


    as hard as she could to exin that she did not actually mean what she said.


    Elspeth shook her head. "No. I''ll get a divorce now."


    Isabel was shocked. "Are the two of you really cousins?"


    Elspeth shot her a dark look. "Everyone''s saying that. What do you think?"


    Sensing that Elspeth was calling her out, Isabel subconsciously clenched her fingers around the edges


    of her shirt.


    Elspeth stood up and massaged her shoulders which were feeling rather sore from being curled up on


    the couch for too long. Subsequently, she walked over to the front door and flung it open.

    The crowd outside instantly went silent and stared at her.


    "Do you need something?" she calmly asked with her arms crossed in front of her.


    Someone in the crowd shot her a scornful look when they heard that. "How can you act so self-


    righteous when you''re some shameless hussy?"
