Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 345

Rayan stared at her and asked solemnly, “Then tell me, was everything you said true?”

Emma’s eyes widened as if in disbelief. “Of course, it was. I swear that not a single word I said was a lie!”

His expression eased a little. “Then, what is your relationship with them?”

Emma’s face instantly stiffened for a moment, but after a pause, she raised her chin and answered proudly without any sense of shame, “This woman has been constantly targeting me just because she likes Callum, and I’m the person Callum likes.”

Normally, Elspeth would probably not be able to resist the urge to gripe at her, but now, Emma was just digging her own grave step by step. She couldn’t wait to mock her, much less blame her for her big mouth.

At her words, things instantly became clear for Rayan. As expected, Elspeth was right, and this woman wanted to dispose of Elspeth by using him.

At the thought of this, he began to boil with anger, but he still remained calm and gentle on the surface. “Miss Walker, is it?”

Meanwhile, Emma assumed that she was well-known from his question and lowered her head bashfully. “I never expected you to recognize me, Mr. Adler. It truly is an honor.”

Upon hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help but chortle.

Emma suddenly felt a burst of humiliation. She swiveled around and glared viciously at Elspeth before turning back to Rayan and asking with a smile, “Please don’t mind her. She’s always been an oddball. By the way, what are you planning to do with her?”

Best if he sent a few men to ruin her! That way, even if she survives and returns to Callum, he wouldn’t like her anymore. After all, nobody likes used goods!

Rayan nodded thoughtfully. “If it’s really as you said, I do have to properly teach her a lesson.”

Emma’s eyes instantly gleamed. “Yes, please do!”

Right after that, Rayan said, “All of you, untie Elspeth.”

At these words, the smile on Emma’s face instantly collapsed. “What do you mean? Aren’t you going to teach her a lesson? Why are you untying her?”

Before she realized it, the men were already approaching her slowly.

“Um, did you make a mistake?” Emma’s heart skipped a beat as she watched the two ill-intentioned men approach her.

Rayan personally helped Elspeth, who was unsteady on her feet after being bound for a long time, to take a seat, before he turned around and shot a cold glare at Emma. “Do you think a troublemaking woman like you can use me to finish someone else off? Keep dreaming!”

At that moment, he felt nothing but guilt and distress for Elspeth. If it weren’t for that woman’s instigation, he and Elspeth would have been getting along in a normal and friendly exchange by now. He swore to never let this woman go for causing him to lose Elspeth’s goodwill toward him.

Upon seeing that Emma was now playing the pity card with her, Elspeth glanced at her unruly state and didn’t feel an ounce of pity. If anything, she even felt like gloating as she said, “When you constantly tested my limits before this, did you ever consider that this would happen to you?”

Elspeth rubbed her sore wrists and extended a finger, raising Emma’s chin. Before she left the house, Emma had dolled herself up beautifully, but her makeup was now smudged by her tears, making her look miserable and pathetic.

“Elspeth, I know that you’re a kind woman, right?”

Elspeth chortled and removed her hand disdainfully. “Don’t mess with me, and I won’t mess with you. I’ve never said that I was kind.”

At the sound of her words, Emma was basically certain that Elspeth would not let herself off easily! She plopped onto the ground helplessly, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes. She did not make the slightest sound as fear had already taken over her mind. She could not foresee what would happen to her next, but there was one thing she knew for certain—she was done for.

Although Elspeth really wanted to watch Emma being tormented, she had more important things to tend to. Now, the others didn’t know about her situation and thought she had been kidnapped, so she needed to leave as soon as possible to let them know and not make them worry.

Thinking this, she glanced at Rayan beside her with a serene smile. “Mr. Adler, I feel a little unwell at the moment, so I want to head home and rest. I’ll leave this side of things to you.” After saying that, she even went over and squeezed his shoulder, showing her concern.

Rayan had never seen her so assertive, and he assumed that their relationship had soared because of this matter, so he instantly agreed. “Then you should hurry back and get some rest. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of things for you.”

Elspeth smiled and followed the bodyguard he had appointed out of the basement. After watching Elspeth leave, Rayan turned his gaze back to Emma, who was still on the ground. She shrank back a little, her pupils dilating as she looked at the bloodthirsty light glowing in his eyes.
