Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

With lightning speed, Lisa emerged and addressed Elspeth as ‘Miss Lynwood’ when she saw her.

Elspeth waved her hand dismissively. “Alright. You’re already Harper’s disciple, so there’s no need to say those anymore. Let’s just stick to the rules for now. Elspeth will do it.”

Lisa nodded in agreement, not questioning the command as it was her duty to obey.

Elspeth flexed her wrist and pulled out a veil to cover her face, after which she led her men to the intersection and lay in wait for their target.

It was a route the director frequently passed by. According to their research, he would buy roasted chicken here every night and carry it home with a bottle of alcohol.

To be honest, it was the first time Elspeth held a bold operation. As the target walked toward her, she flicked her left wrist, and her two black-clad men flew out like swords.

Soon enough, the director was bound and tossed into a narrow alleyway.

Being in such a situation that was new to him, he was terrified. Due to the fear of losing his life, he was crying for mercy before anyone touched him. “I beg you. Please don’t kill me. I can give you money, no matter how much you want, as long as you don’t kill me…”

She calmly approached and glared at the obese man on the ground. She frowned as she kicked his chubby body. “I don’t want your life or your money. There’s only one thing I want.”

The director’s eyes widened in surprise. “Really? I’ll give you whatever you want!”

“I want a spot in your next movie.”

With these words, the director finally understood whom he was dealing with. In the next second, he glared at her fiercely. “I thought it was one of my enemies who found me, but I never expected it to be you, Elspeth. I admit you’re wealthy, but what use is money alone? I am well-connected, both in the underworld and in legitimate businesses. If you lay a hand on me, I won’t spare you!”

Well-connected to both the underworld and the legitimate businesses… With a mischievous smile, Elspeth quipped, “Come on. Tell me. Can your connections help you block this?”

And with that, she slapped the director with such force that it nearly knocked his neck crooked.
