Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Chapter 444

Chapter 444 Fake Marriage

Elspeth stroked her chin. "I don't know. Maybe we can ask him."

Yelena gulped as she imagined the scene. "Why don't I introduce you to some other guys?" she asked with a racing heart. "I think there are a lot of great men out there..."

"I think if Callum hears what you're saying, he will hate you more."

Elspeth immediately sentenced Yelena to her death.

It was only then that Yelena realized just how great of an enemy she had created for herself. At that, she started moaning and groaning in agony.

"Alright. I won't scare you anymore. From now on, behave and wait. The show is about to start."

Elspeth looked at the time. There was one minute left.

One minute later, someone suddenly kicked open the door to the room next to them.

There was a loud, chaotic burst of footsteps stomping into the room; they sounded like reporters.

With a mask and a pair of sunglasses on her face, Elspeth stepped out of the room. Before leaving, she reminded Yelena to stay in the room and not to come out unless needed. Yelena knew she would only cause trouble if she left the room, so she obediently nodded in agreement.

The moment Elspeth stepped out of the room, she saw a bunch of reporters crowding around the room next door while frantically snapping photos of what was happening inside. She could not resist peeking in.

As expected, she saw Jasmine unconscious inside and dressed in a shredded wedding dress while a man was on top of her, seemingly as if he was doing a certain unmentionable act.

The reporters at the head of the pack all blushed and looked away while coughing. Even so, they continued to film what was happening in the room.

It took a few long minutes before Jasmine slowly regained consciousness. When she realized what was happening and saw the man on top of her, she nearly choked out with anger. "Who are you? Why are you in my room?!"

A few minutes ago, she had been feeling so lethargic that she decided to take a short nap. When she woke up, she suddenly found herself doing the deed with a man.

The man ignored her though and continued to lay on top of her. However, he did not do anything more than that.

She tried to push him away, but he was too strong; he barely moved an inch.

"Get up! Do you know who I am? I will not forgive you if you have done anything to me!"

The man shuffled her tattered dress around to cover up her body while softly stating, "Of course, I know who you are, Miss McGrath. I suggest you behave though. Otherwise, I might actually do something to you while everyone is watching."

When she heard him say that, her eyes widened with outrage.

"Scram!"

Outside the room, Elspeth had seen enough. With a wave of her hand, she made the crowd part to allow her to walk through them.

Sometime during the scene, Callum walked over and saw what was happening. With a "pale face", he "angrily" asked, "What are you doing?!"

This was the first time Jasmine had seen Callum angry. She stared at him in shock for a moment, not knowing what to say. The man lying on top of her reacted before anyone else did. "Do you still not get it? Miss McGrath only loves me. She doesn't want to marry you at all!"

Jasmine immediately reached out and pinched him hard. "What are you babbling about? Cal, don't believe him! I have only ever loved you. I don't even know why he's in my room..."

"Enough!" Callum shouted, interrupting her.

Behind Callum, Elspeth's eyes flashed in mirth when she saw the fake disbelief and fury on his face.

He was such an amazing actor, fooling each and every person on site.

It was such a pity he did not become an actor.

Naturally, Jasmine had not expected Callum to be so furious in public. Immediately, she started to panic.

"You know me, Cal. There's no way I would do something like this on my wedding day. You know I've always wanted to marry you."

"Enough."

With one word, she had been declared guilty.

Jasmine fell to the ground. Even though Callum was standing right in front of her, he felt so very far away from her.

She stepped forward to grab the edge of his pants, but he avoided her touch with a disgusted look in his eyes.

"Let's cancel the marriage."

Callum finally spoke up, unable to hold back any longer.

When she heard that, she felt as if the dream she had fantasized about for years shattered.

"Cal..."

She did not want to cancel the marriage.

It took her a lot of effort to reach where she was now. Currently, she was about to marry Callum. Thus, how could she agree to cancel the marriage on this day?

"Please, Cal, I beg of you. Reconsider this. We are about to be wed soon. If we suddenly cancel the marriage, wouldn't it be a waste..."

She began to sob about all the sweet memories they shared, but Callum remained emotionless the entire time, just staring down at her as she performed.

Then, as if she realized just how laughable her act was and how deathly silent the room was, she finally caved in.

"Fine. Let's cancel the wedding."

Now that he had what he wanted, he left the room without even glancing backward.

He did not leave her with even a tiny shred of hope.

The show finally drew to a close.

The wedding everyone had been looking forward to was suddenly canceled. Callum went to the McGarths with his proof. When Bobby, Jasmine's father, saw the picture of his nearly naked daughter, his face went stark white.

In the end, he agreed to cancel the marriage as expected and took her away from the hotel.

Callum took his wedding suit off and redressed himself in the casual clothes that he had prepared earlier on. Soon, he was ready to leave the hotel.

Before he could do so, he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"You're quite talented, Callum."

The voice might be familiar to him, but it made him extremely uneasy.

It was Arthur, again.

Staring at Arthur's fake smile, Callum had no interest, or the time, to bother with him.

"Is there something you want?"

Callum's rudeness did not anger Arthur though. Instead, he continued smiling as he stepped closer. "I just feel like you are a great schemer who has Jasmine wrapped around your pinky. Whether you two marry or not, it is all up to you."

"Are you done?"

"Of course not. Also, thank you for giving me two spectacular performances today. If I had not been keeping an eye on you the entire time, even I would have been fooled."

Two performances...

Callum narrowed his eyes. It seemed like Arthur knew something.

"You're welcome."

In that case, there was no point in trying to hide it.

"While your act was amazing, I still have to tell you something."

Callum's ears perked up. "What is it?"

"Elspeth's mother has passed away."

Callum went stiff when he heard that.

"Judging by your reaction, you don't know yet, right? Have you never wondered why Elspeth would suddenly come back and look for you?"

Every word Arthur said rang with cold mockery.
