Elspeth was most surprised by this. Little did she expect that such a thing actually happened between Arthur and Emma…

She didn’t know how she returned to the hotel. When she came back, Yelena was already asleep; she even muttered something in her sleep when she heard Elspeth return.

Elspeth lay awake in bed all night. The next day, she found Callum’s address with her computer hacking skills before hurrying there early in the morning.

Callum was watching the news while jotting down notes nonstop.

“Callum, I have something to ask you about.”

Callum didn’t say a word, but his fingers trembled for a moment.

“Emma is still in touch with Arthur at the moment. Do you know that?”

Callum’s eyes darkened; there seemed to be a cold gleam in his gloomy eyes. “I do.”

“In that case, do you know they’ve slept together before?”

Callum frowned slightly with an indiscernibly complicated look on his face. “What are you telling me this for?”

Elspeth asked coldly in a stern voice, “Arthur is nominally your brother, yet he’s slept with your ex-girlfriend. Do you still want to go out with Emma now?”

Callum averted his gaze. “This has nothing to do with you.”

“Callum, tell me that you’re faking all of this and that you have your reasons for doing so. I’ll believe you if you say that.”

A frosty expression came over the man’s face. “Elspeth, stop being unreasonable, will you?”

“Callum, do you really love me?”

Callum fell silent—a silence that struck a chill into Elspeth’s heart.

“I’m gonna ask you this again, so tell me the truth. Do you still love me?”

Callum’s voice was dry and hoarse. “I loved you before.”
