Chapter 102

Arthur’s words that day did cause a heavy impact on Elspeth.

Callum noticed that Elspeth was in a daze so he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s on your mind, Elspeth?”

Elspeth snapped out of her thoughts and the blank look in her eyes disappeared. “I was thinking about what Arthur said. I think…”

“You also think that Arthur isn’t as simple as he seems, right?”

Who would have dared to do such a thing if they didn’t have his permission?”

Elspeth’s analysis was flawless.
