Elspeth was caught in a dilemma.

On one hand, she had a concrete lead about her mother; on the other, there was the engagement party that they had prepared for a long time.

As such, she kept quiet and lowered her eyes.

“See, Callum? Elspeth’s torn apart. Stop interfering with her decision.” Arthur raised a brow since he was certain that Elspeth would choose him.

“Callum, I really want to figure out that lead…” She had an uneasy expression on her face. “Can you give me some time to find out more before we return to the ceremony?”

Callum couldn’t bear to look at her dainty expression and let out a chuckle. “I got it. It doesn’t need to be so complicated. Come with me to the engagement party, and I’ll get my men to interrogate him.”

Arthur’s smile gradually disappeared. What? Are they going to proceed with the engagement party while I get interrogated? This is a joke!

He raised his arm, and a few burly men came out from behind him. “I wanted to play nice, but you’ve left me with no choice!”

It didn’t matter if Callum and Elspeth were good fighters. He wasn’t afraid of them with the number of men he brought with him.

“Go! Catch them!”

“Arthur, bring your men and have tea with Blake.” Callum wasn’t overly nervous and waved his hands confidently. With that, a bunch of people also showed up behind him.

A sense of dread climbed up Arthur’s back.

“It’s an even matchup, Callum. Are you sure you want to fight? It’s hard to tell who the last one standing will be.”

Elspeth smiled as that wasn’t the case at all. “Come on out.”

At the end of her order, another group of people appeared out of nowhere.

Shocked, Arthur wondered who those people were. They were so well hidden that even his men couldn’t sense their presence!

“Now, are we still even?”

Elspeth looked lazily at Arthur and snickered as she saw the blood draining from his face. “Be more prepared the next time you’re trying to catch someone, Arthur. It must feel terrible to have this backfire on you.”
