Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 430 My Feelings for Her Are Over

On the other hand, Elspeth's quick agreement surprised Haris.

"You're not joking with me, are you?" he asked, swallowing some of his skepticism at her response.

Then, she chuckled slyly and made up her mind. "Of course not. Since you promised to teach me everything, you

can't back out now."

Hearing that, he realized he had fallen into her trap. "You are quite mischievous," he sighed, rubbing his beard. "I

will keep my promise, but you must promise not to go out these days and not to delay the wedding of those two."

She nodded decisively, hiding any emotions on her face, and appeared completely different from before. "Sure."

Soon, Haris smiled happily and said, "Those who recognize the times are wise. Since you can think this way, that's

better. The room to the east is specially prepared for you. Starting today, you can stay here temporarily."

…

Meanwhile, in Callum's office, the atmosphere was tense.

Yelena stood before him, furious and ready to strangle him by the tie. "Tell me, where did you hide Elspeth?" she

demanded, eyes blazing red with rage.

On the other hand, Hank watched silently with minimal facial expression while he observed Callum's reaction.

"She's disappeared. Why would you suspect me?" When Callum learned of Elspeth's disappearance, he showed no

emotion, which disappointed Yelena, and even appeared impatient.

"I never thought you could be such a heartless person. Even if you had nothing to do with her disappearance, she is

missing, and you don't seem to care. She liked you so much... Callum, you are a despicable jerk!"

Although her insults were harsh, he remained unfazed. "If there's nothing else, please leave. I have work to do." He

didn't want to hear Yelena's endless cursing and yelling any longer and hoped they could leave soon and give him

some peace and quiet.

"I'm asking you one more time. Did you do this?" She was so enraged that tears welled in her eyes, and she

slammed her hand on the desk, startling Hank.

Soon, Callum's expression grew icy. "This is your last warning. Don't cause a scene here." Then, he turned to Hank.

"Take her away."

Nonetheless, Hank could not tolerate seeing Yelena humiliated, so he defended her. "Mr. Winthrop, why are you in

such a hurry? Guilty conscience?"

Callum was taken aback that even Hank was against him. Before he could speak, Jasmine rushed into the office,

looking excited. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped when she saw everyone in the room.

The sudden visit of the woman immediately caused Yelena's displeasure. So, she immediately stepped forward and

grabbed Jasmine's collar. "Tell us, is Elspeth missing because of you?"

Although Jasmine felt apprehensive about what she had done earlier, having Callum by her side helped her feel

more confident. So, she looked up at Yelena unafraid and said, "How could it be related to me? I came to see

Callum for our date. Who knows where Elspeth went?"

Then, Yelena's eyes turned red as she retorted, "You're lying! The front desk saw you take Elspeth away!"

However, Jasmine quickly defended herself. "Simply because I followed behind her does not mean we walked out

together. You're being ridiculous."

Yelena couldn't argue with her, so she let Jasmine go while looking tearfully at Hank. Nevertheless, he felt sorry for

the girl when he saw she would cry again.

"Miss McGrath, we have surveillance footage of the incident, so we'll know whether or not your story is true.

Moreover, we will be reporting this to the police, and you may want to consult with a lawyer," he said firmly.

Afterward, he shielded Yelena by pulling her close to his chest and observed Jasmine's ashen face with concealed

sarcasm. So, there really is something fishy going on.

After Jasmine heard that, she naturally couldn't stay still. The matter was initially connected to her, and she

believed that with Hank's intelligence, they could uncover something if they decided to investigate. Moreover, she

knew that he was one of the best lawyers in Damoria, and she didn't want to risk a legal battle with him even if she

could find a good lawyer. She knew he was clearly trying to test her with those words. For once, her mind was clear,

and she refused outright. "I disagree. I have done nothing wrong, so there is no need to go to the police station."

She believed that Callum would protect her. After all, Elspeth still needed her help...

As expected, Callum was thoroughly enraged. "You've been slandering my fiancée, and if you keep doing it, I won't

hold back," he said decisively.

After hearing that, Yelena was utterly devastated. "You have the evidence before you and still want to defend this

woman. Sure enough, none of you Winthrops are decent people! Elspeth must have been blind to have fallen in

love with you!" With that, she dragged Hank and stormed out of the room.

Seeing her leaving in a rage, Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Callum and said, "I took care of

everything."

Then, he raised his eyebrows, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes. "Has she arrived at the McGrath

Residence?"

"Yes. I've sent her to live with my grandpa. He said she's quite obedient, so I think she's happy to be there."

At the thought of Elspeth soon recovering her health, a hint of tender affection shone in his eyes. He had

suppressed his feelings for her for so long but no longer needed to.

"So, when will we get married, Callum?" Jasmine inquired. Elspeth's submissive attitude has me convinced that

Callum must help her. If she can recover and then return to compete with me for him, I will be in a worse position.

Furthermore, this is unacceptable, so I must firmly bind him to myself before her return.

The man gave the impression that he had no intention to renege, and then he gave a slight nod and said, "The

wedding will proceed as planned."

Hearing that, she smiled happily and walked up to him, placing her hand on his shoulder and gently massaging it.

"Callum, do you still love her?"

He took a deep breath and gently held her hand with his right hand. "I've already told you that once this is all

settled, my feelings for her are over."
