Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 208

The young lady’s lips parted. “I-I have no idea.”

Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “You have no idea? Then who gave you this and made you do it?”

The young lady turned pale. “I-It was a stranger who made me do it. She said the grass would cause diarrhea, which could then cause the filming to be postponed. But I never thought it’d cause poisoning—”

Elspeth let out a laugh. “How much were you paid to do this?”

Elspeth sensed that the man’s breathing became somewhat heavier on the other end of the line. “Alright then, protect her if you want,” she said before hanging up right away.
