“I know that you are a kind person, Miss Lynwood. Why don’t you help me pay for it? After all, I’m broke.”
Just then, he caught sight of Callum sitting in the car. A hint of terror flashed across his eyes, but he still managed to laugh and said,
“Oh, you’re here too, Mr. Winthrop. It’s good to see you.”
Nonetheless, Houston wasn’t too bothered by this. After all, his family was living miserably, and offending Callum would just mean that his life had come to an end.
When Callum heard Houston’s accusations, he felt uncomfortable. After watching Elspeth being dragged into it, he glared at Houston coldly as he said,
“I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself, Houston. You should
“Do you think that I will listen to you, Mr. Winthrop? Why should I fear you when I have nothing left to lose? You can’t threaten me.”
Houston burst out laughing.
“In that case, don’t regret your decision.”
Then, Callum got out of the car and looked at the man who was crying and throwing tantrums.
“You want compensation, don’t you?”
he asked coldly.
Hearing his words, the man stopped crying and asked,
“Are you going to give it to me?”
“I’ll give you two million. However, my girlfriend and I were troubled when this man claimed to be her husband. I’m sure you know what to do, right?”
Then, Callum let out a rare smile, but it was more of a sneer.
The man knew what he meant. Seeing that he had earned some money, he smiled and showed his yellow teeth.
“Of course, sir. Don’t worry, I will teach him a lesson!”
Hearing his words, Callum frowned and went back into the car.
“Alright, everything has been solved. Let’s go,”
he said.
As Callum was about to start the car, Houston suddenly went mad and rushed toward them. Then, he opened the car door through the open window and dragged Elspeth out.
“Since I’m going to die today, why don’t I get someone to come along with me?!”
Following that, he took out a knife from nowhere and placed it on Elspeth’s neck.
“What are you doing, Houston?!”
Callum’s expression changed when he saw Houston’s movements.
“Are you scared now? Why are you frightened when you looked so high and mighty just a moment ago? I bet you never saw this coming. Callum!”
Houston dug the knife deeper into Elspeth’s skin, leaving a bloody scar.
“Soon, you will be in hell with me, Callum!”
He laughed crazily.
Seeing that Houston was distracted, Elspeth took the opportunity to kick him in the shin. Houston groaned in pain and loosened his grip on the knife, and the weapon fell to the floor. At the same time, Callum kicked him in the chest, causing Houston to fly away.
“That was dangerous.”
Callum was upset when he saw Elspeth attempting such a risky move.
“The knife was just by your neck. If anything had gone wrong, we’d be rushing you to the hospital right now.”
Hearing his words, Elspeth raised her eyebrows and said,
“Do you think I’d put myself in that situation? I’m not that dumb, Callum.”
When Callum heard her words, he lowered his eyes and thought, She’s right. She’s more analytical than I am.
On the other hand, the man tackled Houston and kicked him.
“What do you think you are doing? How dare you try and hurt someone else’s wife? I’m going to kill you!”
“Please… Please don’t kill me!”
Houston spat out blood as he was being kicked.
fists were landing on him endlessly, and his mouth was covered; he couldn’t even scream if he wanted.
At that moment, the road was clear.
Callum was expressionless as he looked at the scene. Then, he said to Elspeth,
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to Azure Corporation.”
Elspeth nodded and followed. When she sat in the car, she suddenly had mixed feelings.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Callum asked,
“What’s wrong?”
“Houston is a person who has done many bad things. Technically speaking, this is his karma. However, I feel pity for him for some reason,”
replied Elspeth.
Hearing his words, Callum gulped and said.
“It’s fine. The world would be a better place without bad people like him.”
Suddenly, Callum’s phone rang. He answered the call, hummed in response, and hung up.
Since Elspeth sat close to him, she could hear the person on the other end of the phone saying that Houston was dead.

In the end, the man who could adapt to any circumstances kicked the bucket by the roadside.
At this moment, it was all over.
After that, Callum drove the car speedily and arrived at Azure Corporation within minutes. Just as Elspeth got off the car, she met an administrator.
“Hello, Miss Lynwood. What brings you here?”
The administrator smiled and greeted her.
At that moment, Elspeth felt chills run over her spine. Then, she looked around nervously and saw that Callum had already left. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
“I’m looking for Harper. Where is he?”
“He is away on a business trip, so I don’t think he is around today. By the way, who is the man who gave you a lift, Miss Lynwood? Could he be your boyfriend?”
The woman nodded in a preoccupied manner.
“No.”
Elspeth blushed, becoming speechless at once.
