Chapter 351 Miscarriage
Callum turned around, and as he left, Elspeth reached an arm out to grab him. However, she stopped
abruptly, her hand hanging mid-air. "Callum."
"You didn't have to be so harsh; you know? Look at him walking away with resentment." Arthur
smirked.
"Don't bother yourself with that. Either way, I've already said yes. You better treat my mother soon."
Elspeth lowered her head and took a deep breath as a sliver of sadness laced her empty eyes.
Arthur thought he would be happy after hearing her words, but instead, he actually felt a little upset,
and he asked with mixed emotions, "So you've only agreed to marry me to save your mother, right?"
"Don't you think this is a stupid question?"
Pfft. Do you expect me to fall in love with you when you treated me with that kind of attitude and even
threatened me with it later?!
It was a long-foreseen answer. The last sliver of hope in Arthur's eyes faded away, and he said,
"Alright, got it. I will treat your mother immediately right after our engagement."
"She only has one month left!" Elspeth turned anxious. She could agree with all of Arthur's conditions,
even severing ties with Callum, just to treat her mother as soon as possible. However, Arthur kept
delaying it again and again.
"When do you propose our engagement be held then?" Arthur felt his heart growing stuffier by the
second when he saw her staring at him with frosty eyes.
"Three days. That's enough for the necessary preparations."
Since they would be engaged, she had to give Arthur the proper respect as well.

Soon, the whole town heard about Arthur's engagement with a random woman. On the day of the
engagement, Arthur suddenly barged in when Elspeth was doing her makeup in her room.
He was dressed in a gray tailored suit that fitted his perfect figure, and the smile in his gaze deepened
by the second when he looked at the young woman sitting at the vanity. "I'll give you one last chance.
Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Elspeth, on the other hand, only finally directed her attention to the man after she finished applying her
lipstick. "At this point, it doesn't matter if I regret it anymore."
Arthur shrugged in response as if accepting the answer. "In that case, let's go downstairs."
She nodded expressionlessly, and Arthur extended his arm like a gentleman, leading her downstairs.
Their engagement party was held inside Winthrop Residence, and as Arthur had gradually become a
benchmark in the high society of this place, many naturally showed up for his engagement.
Soon after Arthur led Elspeth downstairs, he had no time to look after her anymore as a group of
people surrounded him.
Elspeth was happy to be left alone as well. She headed to a corner and started snacking away while
sitting casually on the couch.
In no time, she finished an entire plate of snacks, and it was only when her fitted dress felt a little snug
that she stopped eating. At that, she looked toward the glass of red wine next to her.
However, someone else took the glass of adult juice just as she reached for it.
"Are you really sure you should be drinking when you're pregnant?" Elspeth asked unhurriedly while
looking at the person in front of her.
"So what? He's not going to be welcomed anyway? So, what does it matter?" Ginna took a gander at
her and down the entire glass without a second thought.
"What's wrong?" Elspeth asked in bewilderment. "Did Gilbert not find you?"
"How can he find me when I don't want him to?" Ginna took advantage of her tipsiness to release her
long bottled-up frustration but hurriedly halted when she realized she seemed to have let on a little too
much to Elspeth. "Alright, don't think about fishing for any information for me, and you can also forget
about telling him."
"Nah, this has nothing to do with me. This is between you two. Deal with it yourselves," said Elspeth
nonchalantly as she reached for the other glass of liquor and savored it.
"Aren't you two close?" Ginna was surprised. "And as far as I know, he still can't get over you."
"Whatever relationship it is you think he and I are in, we're not." Elspeth frowned, not wanting to talk
about it.
At that, Ginna ridiculed, "Oh, Elspeth. I never thought a smart woman like you would have a dumb
moment!"
"So?" Elspeth tucked away her impatience. "What's your point in saying this now?"
Ginna stopped laughing abruptly and put on her resentful look. "You think I really want to talk about
this? If it isn't because I found out your picture is living in his wallet, why do you think I'd run away while
pregnant just to find out whether he loves me?"
Elspeth was stumped. She didn't think Ginna had such a lowly side.
After coming to herself, she advised, "But you're carrying his child still. Why don't you just go back to
him."
At that, Ginna chuckled wryly. "Why should I? I want him to love me for me, not to trap him with a baby.
If he doesn't love me, he can forget about ever seeing the baby and me."
Elspeth was somewhat shocked by her words.
Comparatively, Emma was really far beneath her little sister.

would affect the baby in her belly.
After all, the child was Gilbert's and also related to her to a certain extent. So, she still tried to advise
Ginna. "Take good care of your baby. You'll affect its growth if you get too emotional."
"It's none of your business!" Ginna took a deep breath. "We still haven't settled our score yet. You don't
have to pretend to comfort
me."
What score? Emma? Elspeth gazed bafflingly at Ginna, and sure enough, hatred flashed across the
latter's eyes. "I will certainly come after you two for what happened to my sister."
The other person she was referring to was naturally Callum.
"Why don't you do some digging about your sister instead? Find out what she's really like," suggested
Elspeth as she drank the last bit of wine. It seemed that Ginna wouldn't listen to whatever she had to
say anymore.
As much as Ginna didn't like her sister, they were still related by blood, and she would always lean
toward Emma no matter what.
Thinking about that, Ginna snorted disdainfully. "I will naturally seek justice from you once I get to the
bottom of it."
Then, she placed the wine glass back onto the table and walked away.
Three minutes later, a cry for help came suddenly from another corner not far away.
"Help! Someone's losing a lot of blood!"
"Don't just stand there. Call the ambulance!"
For a moment, chaos enveloped the party.
