Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 409 Things Have Gone Wrong

Jasmine paused, holding back all the words she wanted to rebut, despite Elspeth's solid point. Indeed, the Winthrops were more capable than she had anticipated. How can Callum show his affection for me if he's unwilling to spend even this modest sum of money on me? He had spent an astronomical amount on Elspeth, though.

She clenched her teeth, turned her head, and asked sheepishly of Callum, "What do you think we should do?"

Giving him the authority to make decisions was also an opportunity to see if he shared her compassion. He caught on to the situation, so he stopped objecting and replied quietly, "Of course, I can afford forty million."

"As expected of you, Callum. You're very generous." Arthur clasped his hands and laughed heartily.

Elspeth almost burst out laughing when she noticed Arthur echoing her. "I won't waste any time since you're so forthright, Mr. Winthrop. Please sign the agreement, gentlemen," she said, pointing to the contracts on the table.

Callum did not wish to say anything else to her, so he hastily placed his signature and handed her the document. However, Arthur was ready to sign the document when he came to a halt. "Wait a minute. Why did you only seek Callum's opinion on the contract? What about me?" His smile faded.

Elspeth's goal this time was to alienate Callum and Jasmine. Of course, she was not thinking about Arthur! Since he mentioned he had helped her, she decided not to make things difficult for him this time. "Well, what are your thoughts?"

He picked up his pen, pointed to a condition in the contract, and asked, "Why can't I observe the actors while they're filming?"

Her expression abruptly changed. The purpose of establishing the condition is to avoid conflicts during filming and to reduce my chances of bumping into you guys! I did it so discretely that I'm surprised he noticed it.

"Care to give me a plausible explanation?" Arthur's flat tone was tinged with irritation.
