Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 579 Rescued

Both their eyes flew to the door as the pill in Haris' hand fell to the floor.

Elspeth smirked. She didn't expect Harper to arrive so soon. Just in time!

Since the situation wasn't critical anymore, Harper stepped aside.

Callum slowly walked into the room and looked around before fixing his piercing eyes on Elspeth. His brows furrowed as his eyes took on a dangerous glint. "I didn't think you'd be someone who does such things behind closed doors, Old Mr. McGrath."

Haris wasn't worried. He had a few fighters stationed in his courtyard.

"Old Mr. McGrath, you wouldn't happen to be waiting for the three useless pieces of trash outside, would you?"

Haris' expression stiffened.

"What? What did you do to them?"

"Wasn't I clear enough? They were pieces of trash, so I took the trash out, of course."

Haris' face turned green, but he remained unperturbed. "What gives you the confidence to barge into my courtyard without permission? Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to her?"

Haris had surreptitiously checked his surroundings and found that Elspeth was extremely near him. He figured she would be an excellent hostage.

"What can you possibly do to me?"

Before Haris could react, Elspeth abruptly got to her feet. Her hands and feet showed no signs of being tied.

She'd tossed the rope around her hands to the floor at some point, and right now, she stared at Haris with a slowly deepening smile. "You wouldn't think that your drugs would be enough to incapacitate me, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Elspeth stretched her wrists which had been stuck behind her for quite some time. "Oh, nothing. Just that I happen to be proficient in the use of medicine and your muscle relaxants are useless against me."

Useless?!
