Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Callum immediately realized the change in feelings Arthur had toward Emma. Judging by what Callum knew about Arthur, Arthur would’ve investigated the situation like a madman if he found out that Emma had encountered such an accident. However, Arthur’s gaze was completely focused on Elspeth right then. There was a provocative look in Arthur’s eyes that made Callum feel uneasy.

Callum took a few steps forward to stand in front of Elspeth. “Are you here to save Emma, then?”

Arthur shrugged helplessly. “Her life is hanging on a thread right now. Even a higher being might not be able to save her, so what can I possibly do?”

“What are you doing here, then?” Callum asked.

“The emergency department found her phone and went through her favorited contacts, and they contacted me from there.” Arthur gazed at Callum. “Didn’t you also rush over after receiving the news?” Arthur asked with a scornful look on his face. Both Arthur and Callum were on Emma’s favorites list, so there was no competition between them. Arthur seemed to have brought this up only to trigger Elspeth.

A grim look surfaced on Callum’s face for a short while before he curled his lips into a smirk. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for Elspeth to stay with you as a single woman. I’ve bought her a new villa, so she’ll move out today.”

“I know you bought a new place recently, but does she have to listen to you?” Arthur didn’t seem surprised—he simply smirked while glancing at Elspeth. “What about you? Have you decided to move out? Both Helena and Isabel are still staying with me, you know.”

Arthur was clearly threatening Elspeth. Her gaze shifted back and forth between the two men for a while before Callum spoke up. “They’ll move out as well,” he uttered firmly.

A rather troubled look appeared on Arthur’s face. “Oh no, I’m afraid that might affect my treatment for Helena,” Arthur said with his eyes narrowed. Elspeth couldn’t tolerate such threats, so she quickly gave in. “Forget it. Maybe I can stay with him for a while more,” she muttered.
