Elspeth returned to her booth nearby and began to chug her drink.

“Don’t drink that much… Oh, Elspeth, you really don’t have to drink that much!”

She wished fervently that she could drink herself silly; that way, she wouldn’t have to think about what just happened.

At the sight of her wasting herself away in this manner, Harper felt as terrible as she did and began to criticize Callum just as fervently.

“I’m telling you, Callum really is cold-blooded. If it won’t work out with him, we’ll ditch him and find someone else. You aren’t married anyway, so changing your partner won’t even hurt you!”

Before he was done criticizing, he felt a pinch on his arm. “Ouch!”

“Don’t badmouth him!”

As Elspeth looked at Harper, her eyes were exceptionally fierce, but her face was flushed from the alcohol, giving her a trace of daintiness.

“All right, all right, I won’t interfere, but you have to remember that if that man lets you down, I’ll destroy his entire company.”

Harper had always thought of Elspeth as his own sister. Although he usually acted playful before her, he would definitely be the first one to take matters into his own hands if something happened to her.

“Callum… He’s just a fool. I know he’s having a hard time, but why won’t he tell me? Say, isn’t Callum a fool?”

Elspeth was drunk, and her words were weak and disjointed, but her mouth never stopped talking about Callum.

Harper rolled his eyes and conceded, “Yes, yes, you’re a fool, and he’s an idiot.”

However, none of his words entered Elspeth’s ears. As she looked at him in a daze, his features slowly overlapped with Callum’s. The next second, she pounced on him with a grin, demanding, “Callum, tell me, do you like me or not?”

Harper’s eyes widened, but Elspeth was too strong. He was afraid to push her away, which led him to remain frozen in place instead.
