Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 99

“The president of Alphascape Group gave me a call out of the blue the other day, claiming that he

wants to discuss a collaboration with me. Knowing that we’d always been at odds with them, I didn’t

agree to meet him, but the company vice president kept inviting me, so I reluctantly agreed. After that, I Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

went to check out that land, and he said that they didn’t have much time to deal with it. On the other

hand, we happen to be well- funded, so they wanted to sell it to us. I didn’t think that the land would

turn out to be like this. I swear, it really didn’t hit me that he would scam me so blatantly..”

Elspeth could sense his remorse and said, “Alright, I get the idea.” Massaging the center of her

forehead, she thought, Edmund had let his guard down. “I’ll contact Alphascape Group in a few days

and make them take back this land by hook or by crook.”

Her words made Edmund’s heart stir. It suddenly struck him that even though he was the vice president

of Winthrop Group, he didn’t even have the guts and courage that she had, and he felt ashamed of

himself.

“Okay, we’ll speak about it when the time comes.

Edmund paused for a second. Something popped up in his mind suddenly and he asked, “Elspeth, my

mother

“She’ll be fine soon. I’ll let you know once she’s awake.“

All of a sudden, she recalled that she was out to make coffee for Callum and realized that she had

been away for too long after checking the time. So, she hurried back.

“What happened? It took you thirty minutes just to make a coffee?” Callum said with a frown, staring at

her.

Elspeth cleared her throat awkwardly. “Nothing happened. I just got carried away, so I took a little more

time.”

“That’s right. There’s something I want to discuss with you.” Then, he placed the form on the table in

front of her. “I just found out that Edmund signed an agreement with Alphascape while I was away, and

we made a loss

of 7.5 million.”

“Maybe he let his guard down. Just guide him properly.”

As Callum didn’t think that she would speak up for Edmund, he couldn’t help but snap. “What? Are you

worried that I’ll tell him off?”

“He’s your brother, not mine. You can tell him off if you want. It has got nothing to do with me.”

Shrugging, she appeared uninterested in being involved in their affairs.

“The important thing now is to get back this 7.5 million. This is Alphascape’s problem, and I won’t let

them get away easily with this.”

Leaning in closer she asked. “No vou have any ideas then?”

“I have a plan, but I’ll need your help.”

Out of reflex, Elspeth held her chest. “Are you planning to ask me to seduce that old man?”

“Of course not.” Callum cast her a surprised look. “Why would you even think of that?”

Sheepishly, she rubbed her nose. “Well, carry on.”

“I plan to get you to ask Dominic Little out and lay a honey trap for him at that time. Although Dominic is

vicious and scheming, he has a weak spot for beautiful women,” he explained, turning the pen in his

hand casually. “Of course, I’ll hire someone else to play the part of the beautiful woman.”

“Why should I be the one to ask him out?”

Callum paused. “That’s because I want him to assume that you’re the honey.”

“So, when should I ask him out?”

Shaking his head, he said, “Have some patience. We’ll wait until my mother wakes up.”

Just then, Sonny happened to call Elspeth, and she frowned slightly when she heard groans of pain

from the other end of the call. “What’s happening?” Why does it sound like people are fighting? she

wondered. “What are you guys doing over there?”

Realizing that he had called her, Sonny hurriedly answered, “A few burly men barged in earlier and

wanted to take away the woman on the bed…”

Everything he said afterward sounded like a blur to Elspeth, but she quickly informed Callum about this

and they rushed to the hospital together.

Pushing the door of the ward open, Elspeth saw the wreckage within and couldn’t help but ask, “Where

are

you, Sonny?”

“Here!” Suddenly, Sonny crawled out from under the bed. “I’m over here!”

The floor was covered with trembling men, and one of them wanted to get up but realized that he

couldn’t do

“Who are they?”

“I don’t know, either. These men wanted to lay their hands on me, but luckily, I know some self-defense,

or I would have been hurt.”

He seemed like he was scared quite badly as he patted his own chest to calm himself.

“I used the silver needles on their numbing points, and they will need half an hour to return to their

original

state.”

“If that’s the case, why did you hide under the bed?” Elspeth thought that he had hidden under the bed

because he was in some danger.

“That’s because I’m afraid that people will take me as the culprit if they walk in and see that I’m the only

one standing here. If that happens, they might call the police on me and you’ll never see me again.”

Covering his eyes, Sonny sobbed sadly, but he would peek at them from time to time. When he saw

Elspeth ignoring him, he cried even more sadly.

Meanwhile, Callum was relieved to find Margot unharmed on the bed. “Thank you, Mr. Schwartz. My

mother would have been in danger if it wasn’t for you.”

Hearing that, Sonny realized that someone else besides Elspeth was in the room, and he quickly

stopped crying. With an awkward chuckle, he scratched his head which was full of silver hair, and said,

“I enjoy helping others. Moreover, you’re Elspeth’s friend, and that makes you a friend of mine as well.”

“How’s my mother doing. Mr. Schwartz?”

At the mention of Margot, Sonny nodded in satisfaction. “She’s fine, but she’ll be unconscious for the

time being. However, I can assure you that she’ll wake up in less than twelve hours.”

“Thank you, Mr. Schwartz.”

“Since she’s fine, you can leave now.” The edges of Elspeth’s lips curled into a smirk. “I’ve booked a

flight for you and you can leave tonight.”

The smile that was on Sonny’s face froze. “What do you mean?”

Tll repeat myself, then. You can return tonight. Mr. McCall must be missing you a lot since you’ve left

him for an entire eight hours.” Elspeth beamed, revealing her pearly whites.

“You’re so ruthless, sending me away right after you’ve made use of me.” After Sonny wiped the tears

away from the edges of his eyes, he picked up his small luggage and prepared to leave.

“Oh, that’s right, Elspeth stopped him as she watched his despondent back.

“What is it, Elsie? You can’t bear to see me leave, can you? I knew that you care about me, that’s why

you suddenly came to your senses-

“My silver needles are a little worn out. Leave yours behind for me later.”

Not only does she not care about me, but she’s even taking advantage of me, Sonny realized. Boo-

hoo, I’ll never trust anything she says in the future!
