After four hours had passed, Elspeth still hadn’t received the ginkgo. She didn’t know what to do. In the end, she called and found out that Sonny had sent the ginkgo to the Winthrop Residence in Damoria.

She then made a call to Winthrop Residence, but no one answered. She was met with the dial tone instead.

The moment she hung up the phone, an unknown number called her. When she picked up, the voice on the other end of the phone shocked her.

“Elspeth, what are you looking for? Is it the ginkgo?”

Arthur’s prideful voice was heard over the phone.

As soon as she heard his voice, the bad premonition she had was immediately confirmed. She immediately understood that the ginkgo was now in his hands.

She felt her heart drop.

“I heard Callum is seriously injured. You’re not planning to give this ginkgo to him, are you?”

Elspeth’s voice was cold when she answered, “You were behind this, weren’t you?”

Arthur seemed like he was in a good mood as he said, “Of course not. But I’ve heard about what’s going on.”

“Arthur, give it back to me.”

He was far from an angel, nor was he easygoing. He was still furious after getting humiliated the last time they met. “Give it back? Why should I give you something that I’ve found? Don’t you think it’s a coincidence that I saw this parcel right when I decided to go back to the Winthrop Residence? If I didn’t open it out of curiosity, I wouldn’t have known that this was the life-saving ginkgo.”

“What exactly do you want?!”

Callum didn’t have time to spare, so Elspeth couldn’t just let Arthur have the ginkgo.

Arthur was pleased that he managed to provoke her and threw his final blow. “If you want it back, you’ll have to agree to my conditions.”

Although Elspeth was furious, she had no choice but to calm herself down and asked, “Tell me, then! What do you want?!”
