Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 97

“It wasn’t you?” Edmund snickered. “How could that be? Then, tell me, who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”

“Ophelia.”

He couldn’t help but let out a scornful laugh. “Ophelia? She grew up under my mother’s care. How could it ever be her?”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. You’ll know it when I’ve found the evidence to prove my innocence.” Elspeth knew it wasn’t easy to break people’s rose-tinted glasses perception of Ophelia. So, she didn’t want to waste time arguing with Edmund.

“So? What do you want? Find evidence to prove that you weren’t in the wrong? You?”

Callum coughed lightly and interrupted them before they could start squabbling, which promptly shut them both up.

“Alright. Stop it. It’s not Elspeth’s problem.”

Edmund didn’t expect Callum to take Elspeth’s side. He was incredulous by Callum’s stance, but he forced himself to calm down, especially since they were still in public.

“Fine. Since you believe her, I’ll wait and see whether she’s just all bark but no bite,” he sneered before turning around to leave.

Callum sneaked a glance at Elspeth and noticed she didn’t seem to be in high spirits, so he couldn’t help but comfort her. “Don’t take Edmund’s words to heart. He’s always been a little mean.”

“I’m alright. I’ll be heading back to the Design Department.”

After she bid goodbye to Callum, she returned to the Design Department alone. When her colleagues saw her, they were all smiles, but they soon fell into awkward silence.

Naturally, she noticed their unusual expressions, so she curiously inquired a colleague she was rather close with, “What’s up? Why is everyone looking at me weirdly?”
