Chapter 284
Elspeth went directly to the CEO’s office and confronted Callum face-to-face.

When he saw the rage in her eyes, his heart sank. “What brings you here all of a sudden, Elspeth?”

“If I hadn’t asked you about it, were you going to keep it a secret from me? Are we even engaged? Why are you still treating me like an outsider?”

Suddenly, her list of questions made him speechless.

“I didn’t intend to make you feel that way.”

Soon, her gaze turned colder, and she said, “Then, show me this quarter’s proposal.”

However, Callum did not do as Elspeth said, and that was enough to prove his stance.

“Fine. You aren’t going to show me, are you? I’ll investigate on my own, then!”

She took a deep breath to calm down the anger that was building inside of her. Then, she threatened, “I’ll call Lisa and ask her what you did to Winthrop Group. This is definitely not a mistake you should make.”

That statement rendered him speechless for a moment before he spoke, “I’ll show you.”

When the proposal was placed in front of Elspeth, she struggled mentally. When she flipped the proposal pages, it was clearly stated that the shares of one of the company subsidiaries would be given to Miss Emma Walker at no cost.

E-Emma Walker?!

“Are you going to tell me that you took pity on Emma and will hand this subsidiary over to her?” She instantly froze after reading the proposal.

“No. It’s not like that.” He wanted to elaborate but chose to say nothing upon further reflection.
