Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 417 Everyone Knows

The words ‘Miss Joneson’ were like a taboo as Elspeth froze when hearing them. She took a deep breath and forced herself to hold back the frustration she felt from being threatened. “Tell me what you know.”

Arthur was trying to keep her guessing and did not plan to tell her the truth yet. “I told you. If you want to know about her, you have to make time to meet me.”

Of course, she would not believe him as she knew he was full of lies. “If that’s the case, I’ll take it as if you’re lying to me.”

After saying that, she hung up without hesitation and silently counted. Three, two, one.

The unmistakable sound of the ringtone came again. She slowly picked up the call and heard a frustrated voice from the speaker. “Alright. I admit defeat.”

Smiling, Elspeth said, “Go ahead.”

However, Arthur was not in a hurry to speak but asked instead, “I don’t remember doing anything wrong. Why do you have to give me the cold shoulder?”

It was all fine while we were abroad. We were on good terms, and our relationship was showing signs of improving. Why did she suddenly change her attitude after we returned and treat me like an enemy? Could her attitude back then be all an act?

She answered in a carefree tone, “When we were abroad, you used my mom to threaten me, so I naturally would submit to your threats. Now that my mom has disappeared, what do you have against me to make me nice to you?”

It would not be right for her to say that she was pretending during their stay abroad, but she could not face Arthur now because there was a huge possibility that Helena had run away when she discovered his threats. That alone was enough for Elspeth not to forgive him.

When he heard that, he froze but then smiled. “Fine. If that’s how it is, I understand now.”

Puzzled, Elspeth asked, “What do you understand?”

“Since Miss Joneson is the key to improving our relationship, I will find her.” There was a trace of determination in his voice.

Shrugging resignedly, she taunted, “If you put it that way, I’ll be looking forward to seeing what you do.”

Since their conversation had reached this point, she quickly understood something. “So, you were lying when you said you know something about my mom.” It seemed like she had almost fallen for his trick again.
