Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 430 My Feelings for Her Are Over

On the other hand, Elspeth's quick agreement surprised Haris.

"You're not joking with me, are you?" he asked, swallowing some of his skepticism at her response.

Then, she chuckled slyly and made up her mind. "Of course not. Since you promised to teach me everything, you can't back out now."

Hearing that, he realized he had fallen into her trap. "You are quite mischievous," he sighed, rubbing his beard. "I will keep my promise, but you must promise not to go out these days and not to delay the wedding of those two."

She nodded decisively, hiding any emotions on her face, and appeared completely different from before. "Sure."

Soon, Haris smiled happily and said, "Those who recognize the times are wise. Since you can think this way, that's better. The room to the east is specially prepared for you. Starting today, you can stay here temporarily."

…

Meanwhile, in Callum's office, the atmosphere was tense.

Yelena stood before him, furious and ready to strangle him by the tie. "Tell me, where did you hide Elspeth?" she demanded, eyes blazing red with rage.

On the other hand, Hank watched silently with minimal facial expression while he observed Callum's reaction.

"She's disappeared. Why would you suspect me?" When Callum learned of Elspeth's disappearance, he showed no emotion, which disappointed Yelena, and even appeared impatient.

"I never thought you could be such a heartless person. Even if you had nothing to do with her disappearance, she is missing, and you don't seem to care. She liked you so much... Callum, you are a despicable jerk!"

Although her insults were harsh, he remained unfazed. "If there's nothing else, please leave. I have work to do." He didn't want to hear Yelena's endless cursing and yelling any longer and hoped they could leave soon and give him some peace and quiet.

"I'm asking you one more time. Did you do this?" She was so enraged that tears welled in her eyes, and she slammed her hand on the desk, startling Hank.

Soon, Callum's expression grew icy. "This is your last warning. Don't cause a scene here." Then, he turned to Hank. "Take her away."

Nonetheless, Hank could not tolerate seeing Yelena humiliated, so he defended her. "Mr. Winthrop, why are you in such a hurry? Guilty conscience?"

Callum was taken aback that even Hank was against him. Before he could speak, Jasmine rushed into the office, looking excited. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped when she saw everyone in the room.

The sudden visit of the woman immediately caused Yelena's displeasure. So, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Jasmine's collar. "Tell us, is Elspeth missing because of you?"

Although Jasmine felt apprehensive about what she had done earlier, having Callum by her side helped her feel more confident. So, she looked up at Yelena unafraid and said, "How could it be related to me? I came to see Callum for our date. Who knows where Elspeth went?"

Then, Yelena's eyes turned red as she retorted, "You're lying! The front desk saw you take Elspeth away!"

However, Jasmine quickly defended herself. "Simply because I followed behind her does not mean we walked out together. You're being ridiculous."

Yelena couldn't argue with her, so she let Jasmine go while looking tearfully at Hank. Nevertheless, he felt sorry for the girl when he saw she would cry again.

"Miss McGrath, we have surveillance footage of the incident, so we'll know whether or not your story is true. Moreover, we will be reporting this to the police, and you may want to consult with a lawyer," he said firmly. Afterward, he shielded Yelena by pulling her close to his chest and observed Jasmine's ashen face with concealed sarcasm. So, there really is something fishy going on.

After Jasmine heard that, she naturally couldn't stay still. The matter was initially connected to her, and she believed that with Hank's intelligence, they could uncover something if they decided to investigate. Moreover, she knew that he was one of the best lawyers in Damoria, and she didn't want to risk a legal battle with him even if she could find a good lawyer. She knew he was clearly trying to test her with those words. For once, her mind was clear, and she refused outright. "I disagree. I have done nothing wrong, so there is no need to go to the police station."
