Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 7

Back home, the living room had a lively atmosphere as the other four members of the Winthrop Family

were there, including Margot. Another young woman about the same age as Elspeth was also sitting on

the couch. She wore a dress with a suit and she seemed to be a young lady from a wealthy family.

“Callum, you’re home. Come, sit. Ophelia returned today and came straight over after her flight

landed.” The woman rose to her feet to greet Callum. However, he responded coldly, which caused a

disappointed expression on her face. Then, she looked at Elspeth and said, “You must be Elspeth,

right? I’m Ophelia Fleming, and I grew up with Callum and the others. We’re friends from now on, so

we can hang whenever you’re bored.” Ophelia heard from her conversation with the others earlier that

Elspeth was beautiful, but she did not expect her to be this beautiful. Her bare face looked fair and

flawless, which every woman would envy. Meanwhile, Elspeth had seen through her thoughts and

replied flatly, “Sure.” At that moment, Theodore returned as well. The Fleming Family and Winthrop

Family had been friends for centuries, so he was naturally polite to Ophelia. While the others were

happily chatting, Elspeth was sitting on the side, waiting for dinner to start. Then, Margot said, “By the

way, Ophelia, I knew you were coming back and I specially bought some things for you. Let me head

upstairs to get them.” First, she went upstairs, then she came back down and questioned Theodore Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

unhappily. “Where’s the box of jewelry I just bought and placed in the drawer?” “How would I know?”

asked Theodore. She then turned to her five sons. “Did any of you take it?” They all shook their heads.

“That’s strange. Did it grow wings and fly away?” Then, Ophelia carefully suggested, “Mrs. Winthrop,

could someone have stolen it?” “Who has the guts to steal something from me? You’d better give it

back and leave the Winthrop Residence this instant, or else, you’ll be living in a dungeon cell!” Seeing

no one admitted it, Margot ordered, “Mr. Graham, search every room in this house.” Meanwhile,

Elspeth, who was playing on her phone, was instantly intrigued when she heard that. An hour later, the

butler brought a few people and searched through all the servants’ rooms, but they did not find the lost

set of jewelry. Then, the butler hesitantly asked, “Mrs. Winthrop, besides the servants’ rooms, we

haven’t searched through Miss Lynwood’s room.” At that moment, a servant stood up and accused,

“Mrs. Winthrop, Miss Lynwood just happened to pass by when we discussed the broken surveillance

camera yesterday. This afternoon, I saw her coming out of you and Mr. Winthrop’s room.” Her words

proved that Elspeth knew about the broken surveillance camera and had gone into the master

bedroom, which made her look very suspicious. Hearing that, Margot was instantly enraged. “Elspeth! I

was wondering why you didn’t accept the bank card from Theodore yesterday. You act aloof on the

surface and do such heinous things in the dark! Mr. Graham, search her room.” Theodore immediately

rose to his feet and argued, “Nonsense! Elsie wouldn’t do such a thing.” “How is that nonsense?

Theodore, do you think you know her well? What can’t people from small towns like her do? She was

alone at home all afternoon yesterday, so she’s very suspicious!” Meanwhile, Elspeth kept a stoic face

while comforting Theodore, “It’s alright, Mr. Winthrop. Let them search the room.” Ever since this

incident began, she knew someone had planned this just for her. As for who the culprit was, she was

going to find out soon. While the butler led a few servants to search Elspeth’s room, the rest of them

remained seated on the couch. Then, Elspeth pointed at the servant who accused her and asked,

“What’s your name?” I’ve never entered Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop’s room, so why did she frame me?
