Chapter 54 A Pawn

Houston?

Callum and Elspeth looked at each other and instantly understood who was behind it.

“I really didn’t expect that Houston would not give up and challenge my bottom line again and again. Does he really think I dare not lay a hand on him?” She was gnashing her teeth in hatred. If it wasn’t for Callum today, she would most likely be fighting this buff man to death.

Callum then uttered in a calm and cold voice, “Attempted assault also warrants legal repercussions.”

“Huh!” The man cried loudly without caring about the situation. “But, I already told you about the mastermind behind it. Why can’t you let me go?!”

Elspeth shot him a threatening gaze. “If you speak one more word, it won’t be as simple as going to jail.”

The man shut his mouth after being intimidated, feeling completely dejected.

She first called the police, sent the big guy to the station, and then merely tidied up a bit. In addition, she intended to settle accounts with Houston after returning from the business discussion.

The two met in the private room on the first floor of the hotel. As soon as Elspeth walked in, she noticed a familiar man opposite her.

“What a coincidence. We meet again.” Jordan greeted her with a smile.

She was shocked beyond belief, and her head whipped around to look at Callum as though she wanted to know why their business partner was Jordan.

Callum explained patiently, “Our partner is NK Group, but I just found out an hour ago that he is the president.”
