Chapter 334

Elspeth asked, “Then why do you have to interfere with what I’m doing? Surely, you’re clever enough to figure out

what I’m doing here, no?” Her displeasure eased somewhat when she saw that the man did look apologetic, but it

absolutely wasn’t unintentional that he had repeatedly interrupted her plans.

Callum’s reason was very simple. “I don’t want to see you alone with other men.”

“But I can protect myself!” Elspeth argued. Seeing how stubborn he was, she couldn’t help but shoot a glare at him.

“And besides, it’s you who’s done a disservice to me now. I have yet to forgive you for that, so you can’t interfere

with what I’m doing.” She wouldn’t forgive him easily. Although it wasn’t out of his own will that he had previously

lost his memories of their relationship, he had undoubtedly hurt her feelings.

“Then what is it gonna take for you to forgive me?” Callum asked with great patience in an attempt to please her.

“You want me to forgive you? Not on your life!”

Suddenly, Elspeth shoved him away and made a run for the door. The next second, however, she was rooted to the

spot, startled by the sudden chill she felt on her skin. She looked down at her naked body; her bath towel had

dropped to the floor during her struggle just now. Seeing how Callum was eyeballing her, she screamed in a panic,

“Aaah!”

Callum couldn’t help but turn red despite knowing the situation. He turned around with his back to her in a token

gesture, but the scene that had sent the blood pulsing through his veins just now was still lingering in his mind.

Hm… My fiancée’s got a nice figure. “You can cry out if you want. The room’s got pretty good soundproofing.”

Such teasing remarks ignited Elspeth’s fury at once. “It’s all your fault! I wouldn’t have been so out of luck if it

weren’t for you!” Seeing no clothes around her, she had no choice but to roll into bed and wrap the quilt tightly

around herself. Burrowing under the covers with round, glowering eyes, she looked no less intimidating than the

man despite her lower position. “Get me something to wear now!” Her clothes were soaked through and no longer

wearable.

Callum gave a soft cough. “It’s okay. My assistant will bring the clothes here in a moment.”

Only then did Elspeth drop the matter; she stayed under the covers as neither she nor Callum would budge.

Speaking of the devil, there came a sudden rat-a-tat on the door.

As she didn’t have any clothes on, Elspeth burrowed under the covers without moving.

Hearing the familiar knock on the door, Callum knew that his assistant had arrived, so he strode over and answered

it.

The assistant was standing at the door, carrying a bag of clothes with a curious expression. I just heard everything

inside, and God, what a loud noise they were making. Mr. Winthrop and his wife-to-be are perhaps having a

passionate exchange there. Since they’re alone in the room, they’ve got to be burning with desire, unable to tear

themselves away from each other…

He was still picturing it in his mind when Callum’s frosty voice rang above his head. “Give me the clothes. You may

leave now.”

The assistant dutifully handed over the clothes, but his eyes darted awkwardly toward the inside of the room.

Seeing his micro expressions, Callum turned slightly sideways to block his view. As a result, he didn’t see anything

suggestive. All he could vaguely see were the disheveled sheets at the end of the bed, but this was plenty

exhilarating for him.

However, Callum couldn’t stand another man’s gaze lingering on Elspeth, even if it was merely out of curiosity.

“What are you looking at? Keep looking and I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

Knowing that the man was anxious to protect his fiancée, the assistant replied with a chuckle, “Keep it up, Mr.

Winthrop!” With that, he immediately took to his heels.

Callum closed the door and tossed the bag of clothes onto the bed, signaling Elspeth to put them on. “Here, your

clothes.”

Elspeth dragged the bag toward her. Then, she demanded with a blush, “You turn around.”

Naturally, Callum complied, turning around with his back to her.

Elspeth swiftly put on the clothes, which happened to fit her perfectly. Staring at the man from behind, she felt

something ease up inside her. He actually knows my size, she thought.

However, such feelings didn’t last long. When she stood up, Callum looked at the white low-necked dress she was

wearing, upon which his face darkened at once.

Elspeth seemed to like the dress as she stood up and did a twirl in it. “This little assistant of yours has a good eye

for clothes, huh?”

Callum curled his lips into a smirk, his eyes frosty. “Yeah, he does have a good eye for clothes.” Seems like I’ve got

to toughen him up by sending him to the branch office.

Oblivious to all of this, the assistant was feeling smug, thinking he had done a great job. Little did he know he would

be sent to the man-eating branch office next month for some toughening up.

Returning to the subject, Callum looked at Elspeth’s face, asking, “So, can you now tell me why you’re working at

such a place?”

Elspeth spread her hands and explained helplessly, “I didn’t want to work at such a place either, but I need a

medicinal ingredient that only Logan has possession of. I made a deal with him, where he’ll give it to me once I help

him get his hands on what he wants.”

Callum knitted his brows when he heard the terms of the deal. “What does he want?”

Elspeth replied, “He wants the Flaming Scimitar, which belongs to the Adler Family and is now in the hands of Rayan

Adler, the youngest son of the current generation of the family. He carries it with him every day, so all I have to do

is take him hostage and threaten him into handing it over.”

Callum didn’t think it would be that simple, though. “You’re now in a foreign country, where the Adlers wield

extraordinary power. Not even Logan dares to mess with them, so his purpose in sending you here couldn’t be

more obvious.”

Obviously, Elspeth had been made a cat’s paw of Logan. If she successfully obtained the scimitar, no one would find

out about him. If she failed to do so, he could deny his responsibility for this.

Elspeth replied, “I know all of this, and he did tell me that these things are risky, but the medicinal ingredient in his

hands is the only one available across the globe. I have to get my hands on it no matter what.”

Callum disagreed, “Even so, you can get someone skilled at fighting to help you complete such a dangerous task.”

At the mention of this, Elspeth felt a headache coming on. “It’s not that I insisted on coming here myself. It’s mostly

because only a honey trap would work on that Rayan guy, and Lisa and I are the only ones in the Evil Wind Sect

who are skilled at fighting. Lisa has just come of age, so how could I have the heart to let her come here to suffer?”

Finding no flaws in what she said, Callum finally accepted her excuse with a nod despite his reluctance. The next

instant, however, he asked, “Where are you staying now, then?”

Elspeth’s back froze at once. She had made a deal with Arthur and was staying at his place because Callum had

forsaken his relationship with her. If Callum were to find out that she was not only staying at Arthur’s place but also

going to get engaged to him, he would probably skin her alive! “I—”

Before she could finish her sentence, their conversation was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. “Surprise,

surprise!” Emma’s voice was sweet and clear on the other end of the line. “Callum, I’m now at the airport in Eden!

Can you come and pick me up?”
