Chapter 40 Suspicion

Callum and Elspeth got out of the car together. Still, if things went wrong, she discreetly pressed the ring and sent her real-time location to Harper.

Outside the car stood a group of people who were glaring at the two of them fiercely.

“Are you Callum Winthrop?” A man with a scar on his face and a cigarette in his mouth looked at the calm Callum and smirked viciously. “Wow, you do look like a jerk. It’s like you’re asking for a beating.”

A trace of wariness flashed across his eyes. However, he calmed himself and asked, “Who are you?”

“That’s not important. All you need to know is that someone asked me to teach you a lesson!”

He swept his gaze across the men and glared at the leader coldly. “Do you know who I am?”

“Of course!” Scarface laughed boisterously. “Everyone knows who you are, Mr. Winthrop! Your reputation precedes you.”

“So, do you know the consequences of offending the Winthrops and me? Do you have a death wish?”

“Huh! The Winthrops?! You guys are nothing! I’m not scared of you at all!” Scarface taunted with a comical appearance.

Elspeth exclaimed, “They’re just a bunch of trash. Don’t waste your time on them!”

“Trash? How dare you call us trash!” Scarface looked around and shouted sternly, “Beat them to death! Let them know who the real trash is!”

The men charged wildly toward them and swung the baseball bats in their hands. She dodged them nimbly and immediately grabbed the chance to kick the thugs.

Meanwhile, Callum was brutal in his retaliation. He punched the aggressor in the throat and flung him away. Then, he leaped and swiftly kicked the man’s head with his right leg.

The couple worked together seamlessly like perfect partners.
