Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 393

Both parties were standing firm on their opinions when another voice sounded from behind them. “Guys, there’s something that I’d like to say.” Elspeth, who had witnessed the entire situation, was the one speaking. She had managed to find some ice cubes, and she handed them to Yelena for her to press against her cheek. “Miss McGrath has a lot of requirements, but it seems to me like she’s not that great at her job as well. Let me provide her with some guidance.”

“How are you going to do that—” Jasmine was puzzled at first. Before she could finish her sentence, Elspeth gave her a tight slap across her face. “Did you see that? That’s how you should slap someone else.” Elspeth had used all of her strength to hit the woman. Jasmine’s slap had made the corner of Yelena’s mouth bleed earlier, but Elspeth’s slap made Jasmine collapse onto the ground.

Pain shot through Jasmine’s entire body. She parted her lips to speak, but she then realized that there was too much blood in her mouth for her to even enunciate her words properly. “That… That was too…” Jasmine mumbled.

“What was it? Was I too soft?” Elspeth scoffed. “You’re just as weak as I expected, Miss McGrath. I can’t believe you fell to the ground when I just gave you a light slap. Some might even say that you were faking it.” The rest of the crowd was stunned—they hadn’t expected someone as petite and slim as Elspeth to have so much strength.

Elspeth’s revenge gave Yelena a burst of excitement. Yelena had already disliked Jasmine from the start, but she had never found an opportunity to attack Jasmine until that day. Even though her cheek still hurt, the sight of Jasmine’s current state made up for it. Jasmine had never been treated in such a harsh manner, so she began to wail and cry. She caught a glimpse of Callum through the corner of her eye, and she shakily got to her feet before hobbling over to him. “Help me, Callum…”

Callum’s gaze darkened as he glanced around before fixing his eyes on Elspeth. “Why are you staring at me, Mr. Winthrop? I was simply teaching your fiancée how to act.” Elspeth placed extra emphasis on the word ‘fiancée’ as she looked directly into Callum’s eyes.

“You should apologize to her.” Callum’s gaze was cold, and his voice deep and firm. Jasmine had found a cup to spit out the blood in her mouth. Furthermore, with Callum on her side, she seemed to stand a little taller and speak a little louder this time. “I might consider forgiving you if you’re willing to apologize, Miss Lynwood.” Jasmine was tempted to just hit Elspeth, but she had to put on a kinder persona since Callum was there. She wanted to maintain his impression of her.

“Why should I apologize?” Elspeth was stubborn with her reply.

Jasmine’s face turned a little sour then. “You used so much force to hit me. Shouldn’t you apologize for that?”

Elspeth responded with a curt smile. “Shouldn’t you apologize to my friend as well, then?”

“We were acting earlier, but you only hit me to get revenge. That’s the difference.” Rage was written all over Jasmine’s face at this point.

“What’s the difference? I made myself clear earlier—I was teaching you how to act better.” Elspeth remained firm with her stance. Jasmine couldn’t come up with a better argument, so she turned to look at Callum with a helpless gaze in her eyes. Callum pressed his lips together as he spoke again. “I’ll say this one last time—I want you to apologize.” There was a dark, heavy aura surrounding his figure.

“Why should I?” Elspeth scoffed in anger. She hadn’t made a mistake, and she couldn’t believe how irrational and unfair Callum was being. If this is the person that he truly is… then I had a completely wrong impression of him.

Callum’s gaze turned darker than before. “You have to apologize to her by today.” Elspeth looked up before protesting against his words. “I’m not going to apologize to her today, or ever, Callum. If you insist on interfering with our matters, I hope you know that I’m not going to take into account the history that we had.”

“I know I’m not going to lose anything if I invest in this show.” Elspeth gave Yelena an assuring gaze. Elspeth had seen the script, and she was certain that the show would be popular as long as the filming was done right.

“Are you sure?” The director’s eyes lit up.

“Of course. However, I’ll need you to help me with something,” Elspeth added.

The director patted himself on his chest. “Don’t worry. You are the benefactor of our production team. We’ll help you with whatever you want.” Elspeth gazed at her surroundings for a while. She had another purpose for visiting the set that day—she wanted to look for a few influencers for her company.

As expected, there were a few decent-looking individuals in the crew. They all responded with a fearful nod when they met Elspeth’s gaze. “I’d like to pick out a few of the extras to work as influencers for my company.”

Elspeth was someone who could easily offer a 100 million investment, so she was clearly also a person who had the power to turn others into an influencer if she wanted to. The extras’ eyes lit up with passion when they heard about the opportunity that she offered them.
