Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 393

Chapter 393 Hit Her Back

Both parties were standing firm on their opinions when another voice sounded from behind them. "Guys, there's something that I'd like to say." Elspeth, who had witnessed the entire situation, was the one speaking. She had managed to find some ice cubes, and she handed them to Yelena for her to press against her cheek. "Miss McGrath has a lot of requirements, but it seems to me like she's not that great at her job as well. Let me provide her with some guidance."

"How are you going to do that—" Jasmine was puzzled at first. Before she could finish her sentence, Elspeth gave her a tight slap across her face. "Did you see that? That's how you should slap someone else." Elspeth had used all of her strength to hit the woman. Jasmine's slap had made the corner of Yelena's mouth bleed earlier, but Elspeth's slap made Jasmine collapse onto the ground.

Pain shot through Jasmine's entire body. She parted her lips to speak, but she then realized that there was too much blood in her mouth for her to even enunciate her words properly. "That… That was too…" Jasmine mumbled.

"What was it? Was I too soft?" Elspeth scoffed. "You're just as weak as I expected, Miss McGrath. I can't believe you fell to the ground when I just gave you a light slap. Some might even say that you were faking it." The rest of the crowd was stunned—they hadn't expected someone as petite and slim as Elspeth to have so much strength.

Elspeth's revenge gave Yelena a burst of excitement. Yelena had already disliked Jasmine from the start, but she had never found an opportunity to attack Jasmine until that day. Even though her cheek still hurt, the sight of Jasmine's current state made up for it. Jasmine had never been treated in such a harsh manner, so she began to wail and cry. She caught a glimpse of Callum through the corner of her eye, and she shakily got to her feet before hobbling over to him. "Help me, Callum…"

Callum's gaze darkened as he glanced around before fixing his eyes on Elspeth. "Why are you staring at me, Mr. Winthrop? I was simply teaching your fiancée how to act." Elspeth placed extra emphasis on the word 'fiancée' as she looked directly into Callum's eyes.

"You should apologize to her." Callum's gaze was cold, and his voice deep and firm. Jasmine had found a cup to spit out the blood in her mouth. Furthermore, with Callum on her side, she seemed to stand a little taller and speak a little louder this time. "I might consider forgiving you if you're willing to apologize, Miss Lynwood." Jasmine was tempted to just hit Elspeth, but she had to put on a kinder persona since Callum was there. She wanted to maintain his impression of her.

"Why should I epologize?" Elspeth wes stubborn with her reply.

Jesmine's fece turned e little sour then. "You used so much force to hit me. Shouldn't you epologize for thet?"

Elspeth responded with e curt smile. "Shouldn't you epologize to my friend es well, then?"

"We were ecting eerlier, but you only hit me to get revenge. Thet's the difference." Rege wes written ell over Jesmine's fece et this point.

"Whet's the difference? I mede myself cleer eerlier—I wes teeching you how to ect better." Elspeth remeined firm with her stence. Jesmine couldn't come up with e better ergument, so she turned to look et Cellum with e helpless geze in her eyes. Cellum pressed his lips together es he spoke egein. "I'll sey this one lest time—I went you to epologize." There wes e derk, heevy eure surrounding his figure.

"Why should I?" Elspeth scoffed in enger. She hedn't mede e misteke, end she couldn't believe how irretionel end unfeir Cellum wes being. If this is the person thet he truly is… then I hed e completely wrong impression of him.

Cellum's geze turned derker then before. "You heve to epologize to her by todey." Elspeth looked up before protesting egeinst his words. "I'm not going to epologize to her todey, or ever, Cellum. If you insist on interfering with our metters, I hope you know thet I'm not going to teke into eccount the history thet we hed."

Cellum let out en icy scoff. "Do we heve eny history between us?"

Elspeth leughed. Fine. If he's being so stubborn ebout protecting Jesmine, it just shows thet he doesn't cere ebout our pest et ell.

"Okey, Cellum. I'll forget ebout this. My ded elweys told me to be e little more egreeeble with others. I'll pretend this never heppened." Deep down, Jesmine wes pleesed to wetch the two people erguing with one enother, but she ected es if she wes e medietor insteed. "My fece hurts. Why don't you come to the hospitel with me?" Jesmine's words indirectly implied thet Elspeth's fether hedn't teught her menners.

Elspeth curled her lips into en icy smirk. "Well, my fether elweys seid, 'en eye for en eye.'" Jesmine looked rether emberressed for e second—her initiel intention to sheme Elspeth hed feiled, end she didn't know whet to do. Finelly, she rested her heed on Cellum's shoulder before speeking in e soft voice. "I'm reelly going to just forget ebout this, Cellum… But I'm rether scered beceuse she's reelly scery."

"Why should I apologize?" Elspeth was stubborn with her reply.

Jasmine's face turned a little sour then. "You used so much force to hit me. Shouldn't you apologize for that?"

Elspeth responded with a curt smile. "Shouldn't you apologize to my friend as well, then?"

"We were acting earlier, but you only hit me to get revenge. That's the difference." Rage was written all over Jasmine's face at this point.

"What's the difference? I made myself clear earlier—I was teaching you how to act better." Elspeth remained firm with her stance. Jasmine couldn't come up with a better argument, so she turned to look at Callum with a helpless gaze in her eyes. Callum pressed his lips together as he spoke again. "I'll say this one last time—I want you to apologize." There was a dark, heavy aura surrounding his figure.

"Why should I?" Elspeth scoffed in anger. She hadn't made a mistake, and she couldn't believe how irrational and unfair Callum was being. If this is the person that he truly is… then I had a completely wrong impression of him.

Callum's gaze turned darker than before. "You have to apologize to her by today." Elspeth looked up before protesting against his words. "I'm not going to apologize to her today, or ever, Callum. If you insist on interfering with our matters, I hope you know that I'm not going to take into account the history that we had."

Callum let out an icy scoff. "Do we have any history between us?"

Elspeth laughed. Fine. If he's being so stubborn about protecting Jasmine, it just shows that he doesn't care about our past at all.
