Those words were full of sarcasm, but Elspeth was unmoved and warned, “Do you know what will
happen to you if you do this?”
“Elspeth, do you think you’re acting in a spy drama here? Sign the contract if you know what’s best for
you, and I might beg Arthur to spare your lives.”
After all, Emma had a soft spot in her heart for Callum. Even if he had hurt her, she still felt that
Elspeth, the vixen, had seduced him, and that was why he was so indifferent toward her. As long as
Elspeth was dead, he would no longer be fascinated with that woman!
However, she had never thought about Elspeth’s death, but now that she suddenly thought of it, she
was startled by the thought. Then, there was excitement that she had never felt before. She even
wanted to kill Elspeth with her own hands and let Elspeth’s blood splash onto her face. In that way, she
could feel the heat and ardor of Elspeth’s life passing.
Meanwhile, Elspeth naturally did not believe her words. After signing the contract, she would have no
chance to negotiate terms with them.
So, she inquired, “Have you heard of Evil Wind Sect?”
The Evil Wind Sect? Isn’t that the mysterious killer organization? Later, Arthur asked suspiciously,
“What is your relationship with that organization?”
“Heh… Arthur, with your meager knowledge, how dare you plan to murder both of us in this manner?
You don’t even know who I am. How dare you attack us?”
“Okay, tell me quickly. Don’t drag it on. You’re trying to buy time, aren’t you? Don’t even think about it.
The signals here are all intercepted by my jammers, and your men can’t find you.”
He already knew that her ring’s function was to track her location and for her call for help, so he set up
a signal jamming system earlier. Moreover, he wanted to see how she could save herself!

do you know what will happen to you?” Elspeth smiled indifferently. Then, she continued, “As long as
the Evil Wind Sect exists, and as long as only one of their members is alive, they will hunt you down for
life. Arthur, you might as well try it and see if what I said is true.”
Then, she put her hands behind her back, groped around, and finally touched two small cylinders.
Feeling them, she felt a lot more at ease.
“How can the founder of the Evil Wind Sect be kidnapped so easily by me? Are you kidding me?”
Emma did not know the Evil Wind Sect’s power and thought Elspeth was only making up nonsense. In
the end, Emma could not help but taunt her.
“Okay, then I won’t continue to talk about it.” Elspeth curled her lips into a smile. “Are you certain you
will let us go after I sign the contract?”
Arthur nodded in agreement upon hearing that.
However, Emma wanted her to die, so she gave him a dissatisfied look, but he returned her a
comforting look.
“Okay, then I’ll discuss it with Callum.” Elspeth kneeled, touched his wound lightly, and whispered,
“Callum, are you still conscious?”
“Don’t sign it.” Although he was hurting all over, he could still maintain his reasoning and
consciousness.
Afterward, she touched his face and said, “I know. I’m trying to tell you that I want to jump off here. My
men are nearby, and they’ll be here in a minute when I set off the fireworks. Since they still need you to
sign the contract, they won’t harm you for the time being. I can still buy you time by jumping into the
sea. Callum, I love you.”
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand and set off two fireworks toward the sky. One meant
an emergency, while two meant it was a life-and-death situation!
Taking advantage of everyone’s shock at the fireworks, Elspeth jumped into the sea.
Callum stood up abruptly, which caused his wound to split, and severe pain shot through him. He
simply watched her jump into the sea helplessly as there was nothing he could do!
Still, Arthur did not expect her to jump into the sea, but it was a good outcome, too, now that nobody
knew if she was dead or alive.
“What an interesting woman! Before she meets her death, she even sets off fireworks to celebrate her
death.” Emma smiled with disdain.
Elspeth isn’t a good swimmer, so she will likely drown if she jumps into the high tides. Then, Callum
closed his eyes in agony, and while everyone else was watching the fireworks, he also jumped into the
sea!
“Callum!” After she saw him leap, the grin on her face instantly froze.
Arthur watched as Emma ran to the edge and saw Callum sink into the water without resurfacing. With
a painful expression, Emma was going crazy with jealousy. Callum deserves to die! He deserves to die!
However, before they had time to reflect on the fate of the two jumping into the sea one after another,
there were suddenly loud footsteps around them!
“Oh no! The two fireworks that Elspeth set off earlier were distress signals! Let’s go!” Arthur’s
expression turned extremely ugly in an instant.
“The Evil Wind Sect… Is it a scary organization?”
Emma did not know about these things and thought he was only making a fuss. Nevertheless, she was
still overcome with sadness. If Callum died, my dream of becoming Mrs. Winthrop be dashed to pieces!
Then, Arthur gritted his teeth and grabbed her by the collar to take her away.
“I won’t go, I won’t go! I’m going to rescue Callum!”
She sobbed uncontrollably and wanted to save Callum regardless of the consequences, but Arthur
yelled, “Do you have any brains? Callum was seriously injured. After he jumped, we don’t know if he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad already drowned! Now that the tide is about to rise, how can we go save him?”
When Emma heard that, she pushed him away angrily. “You don’t have to care! I’m going to save him!”
“Callum has disliked you for a long time. Why don’t you come to your senses? What’s so good about
him anyway? Don’t you know that I am in love with you?”
Nonetheless, she froze as tears slowly flowed from her eyes. “Still, I really—”
In the next second, Arthur used his right hand to strike her on the back of her neck, which resulted in
her collapsing into his arms as she went limp.
“Everyone, leave as quickly as possible!”
The people around him started fleeing in all directions as soon as they got the order.
Soon, when the men from the Evil Wind Sect arrived, everyone here had disappeared without a trace,
leaving only a terrible mess behind.
“Miss Lynwood…”
“Miss Lynwood, where are you…”
However, no matter how they shouted, they could not find Elspeth. One of the men in the lead
wondered, “Has Miss Lynwood been taken away?”
Before he could figure it out, another man shouted loudly, “Sir, there are traces here!”
When they all went over, they discovered visible footprints on the railing.
“I compared the footprints here, which probably belong to a woman. The sole pattern is similar to the
shoes that Miss Lynwood usually wears. There are larger footprints beside that should belong to a
man.”
“Could it be that Miss Lynwood has jumped off here with her fiancé?”
Thinking of this, the leader’s face instantly turned ugly.
“Hurry up and search thoroughly! We have to find her alive! If she’s dead… Miss Lynwood must not
die!”
