Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 A Display Of Dominance
The car Elspeth chose was the first car in the line, which was driven by Callum. Therefore, they were the only ones in the car.
She did not speak much but looked out the window with mixed emotions instead. Her mother passed away when she was young and she had been living in that town with her father, Grover Lynwood, for many years. However, two months ago, her father passed away due to sickness and his final wish was for her to find a good home.
Although she knew that her father and Theodore had previously agreed on a marriage between their families but had always refused to accept it, this was her father’s last wish. Therefore, she had no choice but to agree to leave for Damoria.
Still, no words were exchanged throughout the car ride to the city and the car soon stopped before a beautiful villa. Subsequently, Elspeth alighted from the vehicle and followed the other five into the villa.
When they entered, they were met with the scene of an elegant-looking woman sitting on the couch. Then, Max began to complain, “Mom, we’re back! I’m so tired.”
Observing her five sons, Margot Luvon chuckled and asked a servant to prepare drinks before looking toward Elspeth at the back. After sizing her from head to toe, Margot thought that the young woman was not as ugly and plump as she looked in the photo. Instead, she was very beautiful.

As such, she sneered and said sarcastically, “You’re Elspeth Lynwood, right? You even went through the trouble of having plastic surgery just to marry into our family. That must’ve been hard for you.”
Since Theodore had agreed upon the marriage in the early years, the others could not go against his decision despite not fancying Elspeth.
“Mrs. Winthrop, I didn’t have any plastic surgery.”
Margot snorted and saw the butler bringing in Elspeth’s luggage, so she ordered, “Mr. Graham, bring that luggage here for inspection.”
A cold light flashed across Elspeth’s eyes. “Mrs. Winthrop, that’s my stuff.”
“And I know that. That’s why I should inspect it. You came from a lowly place and it’d be bad if you brought anything dirty or dangerous into our home.” Once she finished, she hinted at the butler with her eyes.
Meanwhile, the five Winthrop men were sitting on the couch with zero intentions to help her out. After all, they were not particularly happy about her arrival.
Just as the butler, Luis Graham, was about to start his inspection, Elspeth grabbed her luggage. With an expressionless face, she announced coldly, “No one is to touch my things.”
Margot stood up and her eyes were tinted with a touch of rage.
“Ha. That’s what I thought. If that’s the case, I have no choice but to see what atrocious things you’ve brought with you today!” After saying that, she hollered for the bodyguards.
When four to five bodyguards marched in, the others put down their phones and watched the scene in anticipation that Elspeth would be flustered and surrender, but she instead remained unfazed.
Just as the bodyguards were about to snatch her luggage, a deep voice came from the doorway. “Stop.”
