Love's Perfect Match

Even Elspeth and Callum were equally shocked. Isn’t this the old man who was selling us the herbs earlier?

And it turned out that he was the owner of the black market. This was too far-fetched!

Also, when did I become his goddaughter? Elspeth couldn’t help but wonder.

However, Irving didn’t allow her to react as he glared, his temperament rising high. “What? Is it weird that I have a goddaughter?”

Arthur chuckled apologetically. “Of course not.”

Influential and powerful, Irving also had many men working for him, so Arthur could only soften his attitude and speak to him peacefully instead of colliding head-on with him.

In this situation, any normal person would stop before things got out of hand and leave while they still could.

“So, tell me. What does my goddaughter owe you? It seems to me that you’re about to rob them, Mr. Winthrop. The black market has always operated normally. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far?”

The entire black market had to show Irving some respect, but who did Arthur think he was for him to have the nerve to act as he pleased on Irving’s turf?

Knowing that he was at the losing end this time, Arthur gritted his teeth and apologized to Elspeth, “I’m sorry, Miss Lynwood. I was rude earlier, and I ask for your forgiveness.” Then, he was about to leave with his men, but Irving’s men stopped them.

“Don’t be in a rush to go. Make things clear. If it’s my goddaughter who’s at fault, I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
