Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 87

Chapter 87

"Fine. It's none of my business. You guys can continue to be lovey-dovey here. Sorry for disturbing you." Yelena held back her tears and finished her sentence. As soon as she said that, she ran away crying. From afar, when Elspeth looked at Yelena leaving the place, her forehead furrowed. Just as she wanted to chase after Yelena, someone grabbed her on her right wrist.

"Elspeth."

She turned around and saw Callum with a cold expression.

"Why are you here?"

He came from the direction of the washroom. Oh, no wonder. She was a little surprised just now about Callum not attending the event since he had such a close relationship with Hex, but it was just that he was in the washroom, so she didn't notice him.

"Oh, right. It's Hex's birthday today. You should be here as his crony."

Her words were ironic, but he didn't mind at all. He just stared straight into her eyes.

"What do you want?" Her mind was filled with going after Yelena, and because the person stopping her was Callum, her tone was slightly impatient. "Get out of my way if you have nothing to say. Don't waste my time."

Callum was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw how much Elspeth didn't want to see a person. "Since we met here, I want to talk to you."

She had been hiding so well, so he had been replaceing her for a long time and he finally came across her today.

"I don't have time."

"I just need five minutes."

When Elspeth saw that he was so persistent and her wrist was being grabbed so tightly, she could only nod resignedly.

across

After they randomly found a place to sit down, Elspeth looked at him across from her and got straight to the point. "Is this about your mother's incident?"

"I want to know how she fell down the stairs."

Elspeth scoffed at that. "I thought you suspected that I did it."

After a moment of silence, Callum calmly replied, "I didn't."

His aura turned cold all of a sudden. "No."

His answer arose something bitter inside her. I knew it. Just like what I expected.

"Since you don't believe me. I have nothing else to say. I'm busy. I need to go now." She stood up and was ready to leave but was stopped by Callum again.

"I'm not saying that I don't believe you, but... Ophelia can't harm my mother." He would rather suspect that

Margot fell accidentally than hold Ophelia accountable for it. For Ophelia, Margot treated her like a birth mother would, so she couldn't harm Margot.

"So, you really think that I hurt her, right? Fine. It's my fault then." Elspeth sneered. She was not only disappointed in him but had completely lost her hope in him.

"That's not what I meant."

"You don't have to look for me anymore. I will replace evidence to clear my name. Before I replace anything, please don't come into my life and disturb me." This sentence drew a clear line in their relationship. "Must you be like this?"

She smiled. "Mr. Winthrop, is there any use for you to say all these now? It's better for you to calm Ophelia

down. When the truth surfaces, she won't be just staying in the police station for a few days."

"Elspeth..." Callum frowned.

"Stop calling my name. I'm leaving."

Callum had always been clever. It was out of her expectation that he couldn't see clearly in these things. She didn't want to waste her breath on this man who couldn't distinguish between what was right and wrong, so

she turned around and left right away.

Seeing her leave, Callum felt strangely frustrated. After he sent a text to Hex, he left the bar and returned to the hospital to look after Margot.

On the other hand, as soon as Elspeth left the place, her phone rang suddenly and caught her off guard.

It was a text from Yelena, but the content made her on tenterhooks 'Save me, Elspeth!"

Those words frightened Elspeth. Just as she wanted to dial Yelena's number, her actions came to a halt at the

last minute.

Based on Yelena's hasty personality, she would never contact her through text messages. So, there were only two possibilities. Either someone held Yelena down, took her phone, and threatened her to send the text, or she was hiding, so she couldn't call her.

At this thought, she quickly used her phone to locate Yelena. With some hacking skills, she was able to replace Yelena's location within seconds. This place..

She frowned when she saw the location. Isn't this the place where I talked to Callum just now? Even though she had some doubts, she still rushed to the place in a hurry.

Not only that she had a close relationship with Yelena, but Yelena was also a top star in the entertainment industry. If anything happened to her, the whole industry might be in chaos.

When she rushed to the location, Callum had already left. She looked up and down carefully and even looked under the bench but didn't replace anyone. Where is this location, then? Suddenly, her steps came to a halt when she heard a slow and rhythmic knock coming from the bottom of the wooden floor. Knock. Knock Knock.

Elspeth immediately knew where Yelena was.

At this thought, she dashed toward the entrance of the basement.

Basements were usually used to store wine, so the door was shut. There was even a password lock hanging on it. If an outsider entered the wrong password, the alarm program would be activated automatically. By that time, Yelena might be in great danger.

She carefully studied the password lock and found out that this kind of lock was not difficult to decrypt as Mark had taught her how to do it before. The decryption process just needed a few simple applications. So, she took out her mini laptop from her bag and keyed in a series of codes, hacking into the hotel's security system. After that, she got her hands on the basement's password in the nick of time.

Once the door was opened, Elspeth crept into the basement step by step. Even though the basement was dark, she didn't dare turn on the lights, so she could only depend on the faint glow of the luminous pearls on the wall

to replace her way.

The source of the knock was getting closer. She just needed to open the door in front of her before seeing

Yelena.

At this moment, the knock suddenly became a rapid thump, but within three seconds, it turned back into a

slow knock.

Elspeth's hand on the doorknob froze for a moment. She stayed alert as she held a dagger that was hidden in her sleeves in her left hand and hid it behind her back, while she continued to open the door with her right

hand.

As expected, the first thing she saw after opening the door was Yelena being tied up on a chair. Her hair was a mess, and she looked feeble.

Noticing that Elspeth was unmoved, she tried hard to say something, but only grunts could be heard. In the end, she jumped up sharply, knocking her head against the ceiling.

At this moment, Elspeth smiled secretly, as it was just like what she thought-the rhythmic knock was not caused by Yelena, but the heavy thump was.

"It's okay. I'm here to save you." She put on a faint smile. Just as she took a step forward, the door was suddenly shut.

"I knew it! I knew you would walk into this trap on your own feet!"

When she turned around, she saw a strange man with a face mask, looking ferocious. Puzzled, she asked, "Do you know me?"

"Of course! Not only do I know you, I even hold a grudge against you!"

"Well, let's hear it."

The man put on an evil smile with a death stare. "If it wasn't because you chose Yelena, the Winthrop Group should be collaborating with my artist. But now, not only did she not want me as her manager anymore, but she even asked every artist in the entertainment industry to boycott me. I lost my job. How am I supposed to

feed my family? Now, don't you think you should go to hell?"

It was a minor problem for his artist to abandon him, but he would rather be dead than alive if he couldn't land

another job
