Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Chapter 547

CHAPTER 547 YOU MUST GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY YOURSELF

However, was it true that the Winthrop Group was going down?

A few days later, Callum let out the news that the Winthrop Group was going to be bought over by someone.

Immediately, a few powerful tycoons reached out and said that they wanted to buy over the company.

Who didn't want to get their grubby hands on such an empire? Even if they weren't powerful now, the foundation was still there.

However, Callum rejected those who reached out until someone from the Bluestone Corp came; only then did he invite them inside.

To prove his sincerity, Arthur sent his most trusted deputy director over.

Kayne watched as Callum languidly read his book quietly. He was at a loss as to what to say.

"Good day, Mr. Winthrop. I'm Bluestone Corp's—"

"Mr. Orozco. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take a seat."

Callum's tone was calm, clear, and refreshing, like the small stream in the hills.

Even though Kayne wasn't familiar with Callum, he had heard several rumors about the man. So, he dared not underestimate Callum even when the Winthrop Group seemed to be failing.

"I'm sure you know the purpose of my visit, Mr. Winthrop."

Kayne deliberately trailed off, waiting for Callum to continue the topic.

"Buy over the Winthrop Company, you mean?"

Yes."

Kayne didn't expect him to be so blunt. There wasn't even a hint of embarrassment on Callum's face.

That made Kayne uneasy.

"Then, what's your price?"

Kayne recalled what Arthur told him before he came over.

"Our CEO said that price wouldn't be a problem if you are sincere about this."

He smiled smugly since he was the one with the upper hand.

Callum finally placed the magazine in his hands and took a good look at him.

"Arthur told you that?"

Kayne nodded and said confidently, "Of course. Our CEO even said that if you're willing, you could still be the executive director after we buy over the Winthrop Group."

It was shocking how blatantly shameless those words were. If Callum agreed to work under them, it meant that they would be able to monitor his every move.

"How could I be the executive director after my failings at the Winthrop Group? So, it's best that I leave."

Callum lamented before looking him straight in the eye. "Return and tell your CEO that I cannot see even an ounce of sincerity after our meeting today. If he wants to buy over the Winthrop Group, ask him to come here himself."

Kayne's face froze. Not enough sincerity? He's saying that I'm no one!

The sudden slap to the face scared Kayne away. He dared not say anything else as he looked at Callum's dark eyes. Even though Callum didn't say nor do anything, it was enough that chills swept down Kayne's spine.

So, he stiffly rose to his feet and bid Callum goodbye. Yet, Callum didn't even stand to see him off and merely picked up the magazine to read as if nothing had happened.

Kayne's face darkened. He swore that he would tell Arthur how unruly Callum was.

In the end, Arthur agreed to come, but on the condition that Elspeth was there too.

It wasn't hard to see what was going on in his little rat mind.

Callum wanted to reject his proposal, but Elspeth put her

"Promise him. I want to see what else he has up his sleeves."

on his to stop him from sending that message.

He caressed her hair, and his eyes lingered on her face. "I'm just worried he would say ridiculous things to you."

Arthur had finally stopped hiding his feelings, and the things he said were becoming more disgusting.

Even if he didn't say a word, the hungry look in his eyes was enough to make people uncomfortable.

Elspeth smiled lightly. "It's okay. I know what to do. Besides, he wouldn't be laughing after all is said and done."

After a brief discussion, they came to an agreement and decided to meet at Bluestone Corp on Saturday afternoon.

This was also Callum and Elspeth's first time visiting Bluestone Corp.

As they entered the lobby, the black, white, and gray decor was enough to bring people's moods down.

It was indeed Arthur's style. Even the company's interior design made people feel oppressed.

The people waiting at the entrance immediately recognized Callum and Elspeth and came up to greet them while leading them to Arthur's office.

They pushed open the door to see Arthur dispassionately twirling a pen in his hand. "Is this how you greet guests, Mr. Arthur?"

"Oh, come on. We're old buddies. You're not a guest. Treat this like your home."

Arthur didn't even stand, but his eyes had never left Elspeth ever since they walked in.

Callum took a small step forward and blocked his gaze.

Then, the smile on Arthur's face finally disappeared.

"I believe the goal of our visit here is clear," Callum got to the point as he sat down with Elspeth on the couch.

Arthur nodded matter-of-factly. "Yes. The whole company's focus is now on buying over the Winthrop Group."

The underlying meaning of his words meant that the scandal that happened in the Winthrop Group had even spread to the Bluestone Corp.

Callum understood the mockery in his words, but he didn't care and nodded in agreement.

"Then, what is your price, Mr. Arthur?"

Arthur didn't rush to answer him. Instead, he tried to reminisce about the good old days with him. "Callum, we're a family. Don't be so distant. Call me by my name like you always do."

Suddenly, Elspeth chimed in with a nod. "Then, you should address me as your sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law? If I remember correctly, you two are divorced."

Arthur stared at them, trying to figure out the ploy.

Tomas had written very clearly in his interview that their relationship had soured, especially after the court case. There was no doubt that they were enemies.

Yet, it seems that they were still very close, and there was no difference in their interactions compared to before the divorce.

Could it be that they intentionally spread the news to deceive everyone?

Arthur's face gradually turned gloomy at the realization.

"Even though we're divorced, we can't possibly just forget our past."

Elspeth purposely joked as she looked at Callum, but her words were directed at Arthur, "Could you let go of someone so easily?"

Arthur's tone turned slightly cold. "It makes sense if you put it that way. I wouldn't just let go of someone so easily. Even now, I still can't forget that person, but my opportunity is coming soon."

"You gotta grab the opportunity yourself, don't you agree?"
