Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 428

Chapter 428 Callum’s Help

Elspeth's abduction happened quietly without anyone noticing.

As the car jolted along the road, Elspeth, who was already unconscious, woke up from the shaking.

The man sitting in front was focused on driving and didn't notice that she had awakened. She couldn't resist devising a plan.

Though her hands were tied behind her back, the ring on her finger, which concealed a blade, was still in place.

She quickly triggered the mechanism using her nimble fingers and exposed the blade.

To avoid being heard, she moved the blade silently, taking advantage of the bumpy ride and the man driving ahead, who was bobbing his head along to the music. He didn't hear a thing.

Finally, she freed herself and held the blade to the man's neck.

Feeling a cold sensation around his neck, the man had a bad feeling. "Miss, how did you suddenly wake up?" he asked.

Ignoring his question, Elspeth ran the blade against his neck. "What do you want?"

When the man heard it, he was scared and tried to maintain control of the car. "I'm driving, ma'am. If you want us both to be safe, you should let me go," he mumbled.

Elspeth sneered at that. "Why do you think that if you die, I won't be able to drive the car?"

"Ma'am, please don't kill me. I'll tell you everything," the man said, as he had never been in such a situation as a transporter.

Within two minutes, he spilled the beans.

"You mean Jasmine asked you to take me to the McGrath Residence?"

When she heard that, she was utterly puzzled.


"Yes, she asked me to take you to the McGrath Residence, and the rest is none of my business," the man muttered while sweating profusely.

It's strange. I thought Jasmine has an intense hatred for me and wants me dead. But now, it seems like she wants to take me to her residence. What can her motive be if she doesn't want me to die?

Elspeth's anxiety turned into curiosity. She would see what Jasmine had in store for her. "Okay, then. Just take me there as usual."

After saying this, she sat down and put away the blade in her hand.

"What? Aren't you planning to run?" The man couldn't help but blurt out the question, but he almost bit his tongue in the process. Why am I getting involved in her business? Besides, my primary purpose is to deliver her, right? This woman is strange too. She knows she will be kidnapped, yet she remains calm and willing to face any danger.

"I have nothing to do with you anymore. By the way, tie my hands in the loosest knot when we arrive."

Elspeth was becoming increasingly curious.

The man dared not respond to her and could only nod twice.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the McGrath Residence.

She reached out her hands, and the man tied her up with the loosest knot as per her request.

After tying her up, he handed Elspeth, who pretended to have just woken up and was still bewildered, over to the person waiting at the entrance.

"You did a good job. I'll transfer the money to your bank."

The man was so happy that he didn't even care about what had just happened. He only nodded with a smile.

After he left, the man in charge of receiving Elspeth kicked her leg to signal her to follow him.

Elspeth quietly took note of this incident, planning to seek revenge later.

As the two of them walked inside, the people in the house stared at them.

This made Elspeth even more suspicious.

As they walked further, she suddenly smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs, as if the whole house was marinated with them.

The man's tone was impatient as he ordered, "Okay, you can go in by yourself now."

After saying this, he turned and left. Before leaving, he kindly untied the rope on her hands.

While untying the rope, he muttered, "I don't know how he tied it so loosely. You, on the other hand, didn't even resist."

Elspeth smirked. "It's none of your business."

The man was suddenly enraged, but because of the situation, he dared not to speak up and could only glare at her fiercely before turning away.

Elspeth moved her wrists, which were a little sore from being tied up, before pushing open the door to enter a quaint courtyard.

In the courtyard's center was a pot boiling with medicinal herbs, emitting a steaming aroma.
