Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 445

Chapter 445 You Owe Me a Bride

The way Arthur spoke was strange and slightly confusing.

Callum was about to stop him from saying something crazy, but his feet were reluctant to move. He wanted to hear just what other incredulous statements Arthur might spit out.

"Stop with your madness."

Arthur was familiar with Callum's aloof and cold nature, so he merely smiled and said, "That is all I'll say for now. The rest is up to you to find out."

He then walked away, leaving Callum alone with his mysterious statement.

Callum watched him walk away with a cold glare, blandly staring at him while his eyes flashed with disdain and hatred.

He then headed to a restaurant nearby.

He arrived at the restaurant and found that Elspeth had been waiting for him at the entrance for ages. She was chatting and giggling with Yelena who was standing next to her. Standing next to Yelena… was Hank, who stuck close to Yelena as expected.

Elspeth's eyes lit up when she saw him arrive. "You're finally here. I'm starving."

The bright smile on her face reminded him of what Arthur said. He could not help the pitying look that flashed in his eyes. "Sorry, I'm late."

Just from the doting look on his face, she had a rough guess of what had happened.

"It's fine. Let's head in."

When Yelena saw just how affectionate and close they were, her heart went cold.

She was doomed. Would Callum badmouth and backstab her?

Would it make a difference if she groveled now?

As thoughts raced through her mind, Callum walked over to her.

It was impossible for her to stay hidden, so she looked up at him with an innocent and sincere smile on her lips. "I don't remember what I did before, Callum. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you can forget about it too."

Pfft.

Elspeth nearly choked on her saliva.

She had always known Yelena was rather blunt, but she never expected Yelena to be that frank.

"Oh?"

Callum raised his eyebrows as he began to sift through his memories.

"You mean when you called me a liar?"

Yelena broke out in a cold sweat.

"A beast?"

She was no longer nervous now. Instead, she was panicking in terror.

"Do you instead mean…"

"Stop. That's enough! I'm sorry, alright?"

She sobbed as she lowered her head, looking as if she had been terribly tormented.

Meanwhile, Hank naturally noticed Callum's trolling behavior.

He stepped forward and grabbed her hand, his broad palm surrounding her soft hand.

"I never imagined Mr. Winthrop would be a prankster interested in teasing young women."

That statement tore Callum's image to shreds.

Giddy joy shimmered in Callum's eyes when he saw how blatantly protective Hank was of Yelena.

"I never thought there was such a side to the cold-blooded lawyer known as Hank Damazio."

The two men stubbornly stuck to their stances as if they were fighting in court.

In the end, Elspeth and Yelena had to drag them away from each other and into the restaurant to stop the standoff.

Once they were seated, Elspeth poured them a glass of wine each to celebrate their plan's success.

"Elspeth, you mean those reporters who barged into the hotel were all your men and they were there just to cause trouble?"

Yelena looked at Elspeth with a worshipful gaze.

She never imagined Callum and Elspeth would actually come up with such a detailed and exquisite plan. They actually made that evil woman agree to cancel the marriage.

"That's right. I even hired the man inside the room."

She felt safer if her men were handling the situation. It was the best way to ensure her plan executes as expected.

As the McGarths disliked airing their dirty laundry, they did not look too closely into the situation and immediately locked Jasmine up.

"You're amazing. When can I ever be as crafty as you?"

An eye for an eye; how Yelena dreamed of being able to make karma bite back at her enemies.

"Oh, you. That's not a good thing. Why do you want to learn that out of all things? If you're being bullied, I will help you take care of them."

Elspeth chuckled when she saw how silly Yelena was acting.

"Are you saying I'm a fool?"

Realizing she was being teased, Yelena hung her head in dejection as she sniffled.

"Are you not? You might end up sold out by someone and still help them out."

Hank mercilessly had a go at her as well.

He had thought she was cute in a weird way, but after spending so much time with her, he knew she was actually just a fool.

Nevertheless, let her be a fool. He was willing to spoil her.

"What's the meaning of that? Do I not help you with your firm's business?"

She held her head up high in pride when she said that.

"Oh? You mean the civil case?"

She fervently nodded. "Yes, the civil case indeed. Was it not only settled because I stepped in?"
