Rayan did not care about these things as long as he could have Elspeth.
“Sure.”
She nodded and let out a shy smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Adler.”
Elspeth had always been stunning, and there was no man alive who could resist her flirting.
Rayan couldn’t help but approach her at that moment, and he took her hand and caressed it.
“Don’t worry, as long as you’re right, I’ll do you justice and teach that woman a lesson.”
“Okay.”
A dark glint flashed past Elspeth’s eyes. Although he was compliant, she was still sickened by his unbridled fondling of her hand.
Rayan immediately made the call right in front of her and even turned on the speaker. Seeing that, she smiled at him. Soon, Emma answered the phone, and she agreed in a heartbeat as if she couldn’t wait to come over to see Elspeth’s downfall.
Half an hour later, Emma quietly arrived at the basement. When she saw Elspeth on the ground with her hands bound, she was insanely elated, and even her tone turned shrill.
“Oh, isn’t this Elspeth? You poor thing, why are you all tied up?”
Elspeth couldn’t be bothered by how she was mocking her and only smiled lightly. And such a response made Emma feel powerless instead, as if her taunts were useless.
Emma crouched down and looked at her face, yearning to send a slap across her face. She stretched out her hand and clutched her chin, her grip hurting Elspeth, but her tone was extraordinarily gentle as she said,
“What’s this? How are you still so proud when you’re tied up? Elspeth, I really do pity you.”
Elspeth didn’t reply and only looked at Rayan with a pair of tearful and emotional eyes.
With just one glance, Rayan immediately felt his heart ache, and he stepped forward to grab Emma before flinging her to the side.
“I called you over not for you to lay your hands on Elspeth. I have something to ask you.”
Emma was nearly turning green with envy, wondering why every single man would end up completely bewitched by Elspeth. Even after Elspeth had done something like that, Rayan was still defending her this much.
However, as Rayan was still present, she tried her best to act docile and innocent.
“Don’t worry, I’m willing to answer all your questions. I just don’t want you to be fooled by this woman.”
As long as she could bring an end to Elspeth, she would definitely oblige!
Rayan stared at her and asked solemnly,
“Then tell me, was everything you said true?”
Emma’s eyes widened as if in disbelief.
“Of course, it was. I swear that not a single word I said was a lie!”
His expression eased a little.
“Then, what is your relationship with them?”
Emma’s face instantly stiffened for a moment, but after a pause, she raised her chin and answered proudly without any sense of shame,
“This woman has been constantly targeting me just because she likes Callum, and I’m the person Callum likes.”
Normally, Elspeth would probably not be able to resist the urge to gripe at her, but now, Emma was just digging her own grave step by step. She couldn’t wait to mock her, much less blame her for her big mouth.
At her words, things instantly became clear for Rayan. As expected, Elspeth was right, and this woman wanted to dispose of Elspeth by using him.
At the thought of this, he began to boil with anger, but he still remained calm and gentle on the surface.
“Miss Walker, is it?”
Meanwhile, Emma assumed that she was well-known from his question and lowered her head bashfully.
“I never expected you to recognize me, Mr. Adler. It truly is an honor.”
Upon hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help but chortle.
Emma suddenly felt a burst of humiliation. She swiveled around and glared viciously at Elspeth before turning back to Rayan and asking with a smile,
“Please don’t mind her. She’s always been an oddball. By the way, what are you planning to do with her?”
Best if he sent a few men to ruin her! That way, even if she survives and returns to Callum, he wouldn’t like her anymore. After all, nobody likes used goods!
Rayan nodded thoughtfully.
“If it’s really as you said, I do have to properly teach her a lesson.”
Emma’s eyes instantly gleamed.
“Yes, please do!”
Right after that, Rayan said,
“All of you, untie Elspeth.”
At these words, the smile on Emma’s face instantly collapsed.
“What do you mean? Aren’t you going to teach her a lesson? Why are you untying her?”
Before she realized it, the men were already approaching her slowly.
“Um, did you make a mistake?”
Emma’s heart skipped a beat as she watched the two ill-intentioned men approach her.
Reyen personelly helped Elspeth, who wes unsteedy on her feet efter being bound for e long time, to teke e seet, before he turned eround end shot e cold glere et Emme.
“Do you think e troublemeking women like you cen use me to finish someone else off? Keep dreeming!”

By then, the two men hed elreedy subdued Emme end were holding her down, preventing her from moving.
Emme lifted her heed end roered wildly,
“Why ere you cepturing me? Shouldn’t you be cepturing Elspeth insteed? Mr. Adler, whet did she sey to you? Don’t be fooled by her!”
