“I didn’t hear you properly earlier, but from what you said, you want one of my girls to leave. That means you’re here to start a fight, aren’t you, Mr. Winthrop?” Logan stood in front of Elspeth as soon as he finished, shielding her from Callum.

Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at his back. Although this was Logan’s turf, Callum was not a man to be trifled with either.

As she had expected, Callum jutted his chin and asked with a cold expression, “Is there a problem with me taking my fiancée back with me?”

Hearing that, Logan clapped his hands and laughed heartily. “That’s hilarious. You’re treating one of my girls as your fiancée, and you even want to take her back?”

“I mean what I said.” Callum’s voice gradually turned icy as he spoke.

“Regardless of whether you mean it or not, all the girls here are basically indentured to me. They can’t simply leave without completing their quota.”

Logan looked at Elspeth who was next to him and smiled. “Or perhaps you can ask this lady if she’s willing to leave with you.”

Callum’s gaze fell on her. “Come with me.”

“I’m not going. I want to stay here.” Elspeth shook her head and turned him down with a helpless sigh.

Isabel was still waiting for her, so how could she disappoint her by giving up halfway?

Logan’s eyes immediately darkened. “See, I didn’t stop her. Miss Lynwood doesn’t want to leave herself.”

Instantly, Callum’s anger was set alight again. He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly. “I said I’ll give you anything you want. Come with me this instant.”

“Callum, I’ve already made it clear that I’m not coming with you. I have my own matters to tend to,” Elspeth said bitterly. It would be wonderful if he could really give it to her, but there was only one type of this herb in the world, and it was within Logan’s possession.
