When Callum heard his words, his eyes darkened. Then, he looked at Arthur coldly as he said.
“Don’t you know what kind of a person Dad is when you have spent so much time with him,
Arthur?”
“I have never doubted him. However, everyone knows that you are his favorite, Callum. Thus, you don’t have to pretend to be the good guy here. It makes me look like I am ungrateful. Do you think this is funny, Callum?”
Arthur spat out. His usual gentle look was gone, and he was filled with hatred.
“Do you really think Dad likes me more, Arthur?”
asked Callum.
Arthur was annoyed with this subject.
“What do you think? He gives you all the money, and I can’t even work in the company. How come I can’t get it when even Edmund, that stupid fellow, is allowed to?”
“You should blame yourself?”
Elspeth’s words made Arthur lose his mind.
“What do you mean by that? Should I blame myself? Why should I take the blame when he is the one who favors the others?”
“If you weren’t a hypocrite and said that you wanted to save lives, Mr. Winthrop wouldn’t have encouraged you to be a doctor. If you aren’t meek, which is not suitable in a company filled with decention he wouldn’t have stonned you from working in the cam wv Did w think that so that he could be the perfect heir. He had worked hard to gain what he had earned. Do you know all these? No, you don’t. All you think about is that he had taken everything away from you. How arrogant of you to think this about him,”
said Elspeth.
When investigating Callum and his sweetheart, she checked about his childhood. That was why she could understand Theodore’s feelings and hated Arthur’s presumption when she found out about Callum’s childhood.
“Whatever you say. It doesn’t matter anyway since I now work for the Alphascape Group. We are enemies now.”
Then, Arthur stood up.
“It’s getting late. Please excuse me as I have a meeting to attend.”
At this moment, Callum, who had been silent throughout the whole conversation, commented,
“You are immature, Arthur.”
When Arthur heard his words, he stiffened. Then, he smiled and said,
“Whatever.”
After he had left, Elspeth coaxed Callum when she saw that he was unhappy.
“It’s fine.”
“I hope so too. However, with Arthur’s personality, he would surely pick a bone with the Winthrop Group. I’m afraid there will be a tough battle for the company.”
Although Arthur had an extreme personality, he was gifted in business. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed the hospital in excellent condition. If he were to work for Alphascape, it would be a challenge for the Winthrop Group.
“Have you told Mrs. Winthrop about Mr. Winthrop’s illness yet?”
Callum was gloomy when he heard her words.
“I didn’t have to say anything. Since Max can’t keep secrets to himself, Mom would have already known about it. Moreover, she might have met up with Arthur before.”
“Let’s go and take a look at the hospital.”
After discussing it for a moment, they decide to visit Theodore at the hospital. When they entered the ward, they saw Margot sobbing by the bed. Meanwhile, Blake and Edmund were standing beside with grim expressions.
When Margot saw Elspeth and Callum, she cried,
“Why is my life so difficult, Callum?”
“Don’t worry, Mom. Just forget about him. It’s not worth it to cry over someone as worthless as him.”
“I always thought he would see me as a mother if I treated him well. For all these years, I had kept him away from knowing his identity, but he still found out in the end-“
Margot wiped her tears and gave a hiccup.
“I know. He has his pride, so he won’t be able to accept the truth any time. That was why he was blinded with hatred. However, it’s fine. I will talk to him about it.”
Margot nodded.
At that moment, the others sneaked glances at each other and smiled bitterly. After all, how would Margot be able to communicate with Arthur when he blocked everyone out of his heart? However, since Margot wasn’t well, none of them said anything to her.
In the end, Margot wanted to keep Theodore company, so Edmund stayed back. Initially, Blake wanted to stay too, but Callum was done with his contract. Hence, as long as Elspeth led him to Luminous Entertainment, he would be able to debut again, then he wouldn’t have the time to take care of Theodore. To prevent anything from happening, Elspeth decided to take Blake to Luminous herself. She would be able to prevent anyone from exposing her identity.
As for Callum, he returned to the company after realizing he had some things to do.
On the way to Luminous, Elspeth couldn’t help but ask when she saw Blake in a daze.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Blake took a deep breath and said,
“I feel worthless. I can’t do anything straight. I mean, I needed you to get me a job.”
“What are you talking about, superstar?”
Elspeth smiled and rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m still waiting for you to be famous and earn millions for Luminous. Don’t you dare say anything bad about yourself?”
Listening to her words, Blake was flustered. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized something was off in her words. Then, he asked in confusion,
“What do you mean by making money for Luminous? What is going on between you and Luminous, Elspeth?”
At that moment, Elspeth realized that she had let words slip out of her tongue. Then, her smile stiffened.
“It’s not what you think it is. I’m sure you know that Luminous belongs to Azure Corporation. Hence, Harper told me that she would give me a bonus when her company profited. That is why I wished that Luminous would be working well. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
However, Blake was not satisfied with her words.
“Elspeth, don’t tell me that… you are the president of Azure Corporation.”
At that moment, Elspeth frowned and looked at him seriously.
“What makes you think that? Have you ever seen such an idle president like me?”Although her words were simple, it was the truth. At that moment, Blake trusted her and was back to being depressed.”When we arrive at the company, you might encounter Timothy. I hope that you will be in your best condition. After all, he has a strange personality, so…”Although Elspeth didn’t finish her words, Blake knew what she meant. Suddenly, he was anxious.When they arrived at the company, Elspeth found it funny that everyone was holding back from greeting her.After all, she had just called Harper and told her to inform her employees to act like they didn’t know her. She was happy with the result.Then, she took Blake to the office, where the acting president of Luminous was waiting for them. When the acting president saw Elspeth, he widened his eyes before he started stammering.”W-What do you want?”Since he was being informed not to say her entitlement, the acting president didn’t know what to call her.On the other hand, Elspeth felt her lips twitch when she heard his words since he sounded unwelcoming.”This is a new talent that I found for the Luminous. I’m sure you know him, right?”Looking at Blake’s face, the acting president nodded his head furiously and said,
“Yes. Isn’t he Blake?”For the past few months, Blake had been focusing on starring in a movie. However, his work had not been published, so he wasn’t as famous as when he debuted. At that moment, most people thought he had left the industry and asked about his condition on Twitter. Since Blake rarely looked at his Twitter account, he had lost many of his fans. Just like that, an A-lister was being downgraded to a B-lister because he was shooting a movie. However, the acting president knew that Blake was just in his twenties and was in the phase of starting out. Plus, he would have great potential since his acting, looks, and voice were incredible.”I’ll get the procedure done, so he can be one of us.”The president seemed like… he was fawning. This was the first impression that Blake had about the acting president.”That’s it?”
Blake initially thought he would need to pass a primary interview, like asking about his conditions or going through some training.
“Don’t I have training or an interview?”
he asked.Hearing his words, the acting president nodded his head thoughtfully and said,
“Technically speaking, you should.”
After he had finished his words, he saw Elspeth’s serious expression and quickly changed his words.
“However, you don’t have to do these things since you must have experienced it in your former company.”
The acting president chuckled and seemed to let Blake do whatever he wanted.At that moment, Blake was stunned and felt like it was a dream.When Elspeth heard his words, she nodded in satisfaction.
“If that’s the case, you should stay in the company, Blake. I remember Mr. Stevens doesn’t have anyone on his hands, right? Hence, let him train Blake.”Hearing her words, the acting president slightly opened his mouth and said,
“Mr. Stevens…””What’s the matter?”The acting president recalled what Timothy had done in the company recently and felt nervous.Lately, the company’s talents have been stressed out because of him. I can’t understand why he wanted to have special training for each of them. It is tiring and hard to follow. Many of them had told me about it. However, I can’t do anything since Elspeth brought Timothy in. All I could say was that I was just following orders. However, this is the second person that Elspeth had brought in. I wonder if these two will fight…
