Chapter 580 A Little Trick

Elspeth couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush. She walked straight over to Bobby and looked at him with a smile. "I'm sure you've heard about what happened, Mr. McGrath."

"It has nothing to do with me. I didn't know anything about it!"

After seeing the situation he was in right now, he knew it was too late.

Thus, even though he was being unfilial by denying knowledge of the situation, he had to as he still had a daughter.

He couldn't let the McGrath Family go down with Haris.

"You didn't know anything, huh? Did you really not know anything?"

Elspeth surveyed Bobby with a look of amusement, but her eyes darkened.

Bobby grew flustered and averted his eyes, but he nodded adamantly. "Yes, I really didn't know anything about it. If you don't believe me, you can ask my butler. I barely have any contact with Old Mr. McGrath. The butler immediately bobbed his head up and down in agreement.

"Yes! That's right! Mr. McGrath never has any dealings with Old Mr. McGrath!"

Although Elspeth didn't believe a word they were saying, she knew that she had to use a different tactic to get Bobby to tell the truth.

Her eyes flickered and an idea came to mind.

She let out a grave sigh and announced, "But, Old Mr. McGrath has already spilled the beans on all of you."

"All of us?"

Bobby didn't think that Haris would expose Jasmine's doings as well.

After all, Jasmine was the most important person to Haris. No one was allowed to hurt her.

"That's impossible! My father wouldn't have done that."

Bobby had a fairly good understanding of Haris.

"Why not?" Elspeth took out a pill and waved it at Bobby. "I fed this to him and told him that he wouldn't be getting the antidote if he didn't tell me the truth." She tossed the pill aside and dusted off her hands.

"Who wouldn't be afraid of dying? He told me everything."

Bobby was sweating profusely. "Even about Jasmine?"

"Yes, especially about Jasmine. He told me every single detail of what Jasmine did."

Elspeth started counting with her fingers. "Based on what she's done, how long would her prison sentence be? Oh, wow. Quite long."

Bobby jolted. If Jasmine had been ratted out, then he wouldn't be able to escape either.

He had no choice but to hang his head low and quietly confess, "Alright. I admit it. I was aware of what was happening."

"Couldn't you have just admitted it right from the start? I wouldn't have to try and think of a way to trick you into a confession."

Bobby's eyes grew large. "What did you say?!"

"Nothing." Elspeth turned to Harper who was standing beside her. "Do you have it all recorded?"

Harper passed the audio recorder to her. "It's all here."

"How dare you trick me?!" Bobby was infuriated. He tried to lunge at Elspeth, but Callum stood in his path. "What are you trying to do?"

Bobby couldn't bother to keep up appearances anymore. He bellowed at the top of his lungs, "How dare you trick me?! You're going to rot in hell for this, Elspeth!" Elspeth shrugged nonchalantly.

"Before that, you're going to have to rot in prison first, Mr. McGrath."

Callum got the message and called his men over to grab Bobby and haul him out.

As soon as Bobby was taken out of the house, Jasmine came marching over.

She was trembling with rage as she glared at the familiar faces in front of her. "What did you do to my family?!"

She was out shopping earlier and didn't expect to replace that misfortune had befallen the entire family in just a few short hours.

Just moments ago, she saw the men dragging her father out and heard him yelling to her, "Jasmine, they took your grandfather away!"

Jasmine immediately rushed into the house.

"What did I do to your family? What do you mean by that? Shouldn't I be the one asking you what you did to my family?" Elspeth wasn't furious. She simply chuckled and remarked, "Oh, well. Things have more or less been settled now. All that's left is you."

Jasmine's rage subsided a little as an uneasy feeling crept into her heart. "What do you mean all that's left is me?"

"I'm here to settle the score." Elspeth stuck her hands in her pockets. "Tell us everything you did."

Jasmine snorted. "I won't tell you anything. Even if I did do something, I wouldn't be telling you about it."

Elspeth can't do anything to me if I don't admit to it.

"Do you think I don't have any evidence?" Elspeth waved the audio recorder she had in hand and grinned. "If you don't admit it yourself, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy." Jasmine pursed her lips. "I don't believe you. You must up to your usual trickery."

"Have a listen first and you'll know whether I'm telling the truth."

Elspeth started playing the recording.

The sound of Bobby's voice wiped the smug smile off Jasmine's face. She turned ashen-faced as she exclaimed, "When did you get this recording?!"

"Just a few minutes ago. Your father told us everything."

Only now did it dawn on Jasmine as to why her father had been hauled out earlier. Their fate was now a foregone conclusion.

Thus, she didn't bother keeping up with her any longer. Her gaze turned vicious. "I should've told Grandpa to kill you, Elspeth!"

"Jasmine, I thought we'd settled the score between us after what I went through previously." Elspeth's eyes flashed with disappointment. "I didn't think you'd still do something as heinous as this." Jasmine sneered, "Compared to all the things I had to go through because of you, I've been far too kind toward you! I want nothing more than to kill you, rip you to pieces, and drink your blood-" "Shut up!" Callum snarled in response to Jasmine's slow descent into madness.

"And, you! Callum Winthrop! You were aware of my feelings for you, so you used me, hurt me, tossed me aside, and even got someone to frame me!" Jasmine's expression grew sinister as she vented her fury and resentment. "I had genuine feelings for you! I was looking forward to marrying you! I didn't expect that you'd turn out to be the person you are! How on earth did Elspeth bewitch you? Why do you insist on remaining loyal to her?!"

Even now, Jasmine thought that it was Elspeth who stole everything away from her. Everything would've been mine right now if she'd only just died!

Everything would've been mine!

Elspeth shook her head pityingly.

"You still don't realize the mistakes you've made. Oh, well. Forget it."

Jasmine cackled. "What a joke! I'm the one who made all the mistakes and you guys are all saints, huh? You can do no wrong, huh?! As long as I'm still alive, Elspeth, I'll make every single one of you get what you deserve!"

Callum didn't want to listen to this anymore. He had his men restrain her and haul her out as well.
