“Miss Lynwood, since she wes tergeting you, I’ll leeve this to you. Tell me whet you went to do with her, end I’ll help you with enything.”
No, she couldn’t fell into Elspeth’s gresp! After everything she’d done, Elspeth simply hed nothing but despise for her!
Emme desperetely shook her heed, her teers rolling down her fece.
“Pleese don’t do this to me!”
Reelizing thet pleeding with Reyen wes not working, Emme crewled to Elspeth’s side end tugged et her skirt, begging,
“Elspeth, on the behelf of the fect thet we’re both women with our own herdships, cen you tell him to let me go?”
Rayan personally helped Elspeth, who was unsteady on her feet after being bound for a long time, to take a seat, before he turned around and shot a cold glare at Emma.
“Do you think a troublemaking woman like you can use me to finish someone else off? Keep dreaming!”
At that moment, he felt nothing but guilt and distress for Elspeth. If it weren’t for that woman’s instigation, he and Elspeth would have been getting along in a normal and friendly exchange by now. He swore to never let this woman go for causing him to lose Elspeth’s goodwill toward him.
By then, the two men had already subdued Emma and were holding her down, preventing her from moving.
Emma lifted her head and roared wildly,
“Why are you capturing me? Shouldn’t you be capturing Elspeth instead? Mr. Adler, what did she say to you? Don’t be fooled by her!”
Rayan felt that the woman in front of him was raucous and insane. She and Elspeth were simply opposites, and his heart naturally favored Elspeth more.
“Oh, so you’re doubting my abilities to judge?”
Rayan demanded, feeling irritated by her voice.
Meanwhile, Emma was on the verge of a breakdown. She was here to watch Elspeth’s downfall, so why had things come to this?
Looking at the situation at hand, she had to make a quick decision. She immediately calmed down and softened her tone as she said,
“Mr. Adler, listen to me, things aren’t what you think. Are you being encouraged by this woman to do this?”
Rayan laughed under his breath.
“Okay, stop explaining. I don’t want to hear anything you say!”
Immediately after, he looked at Elspeth and sent her a flattering smile.
“Miss Lynwood, since she was targeting you, I’ll leave this to you. Tell me what you want to do with her, and I’ll help you with anything.”
No, she couldn’t fall into Elspeth’s grasp! After everything she’d done, Elspeth simply had nothing but despise for her!
Emma desperately shook her head, her tears rolling down her face.
“Please don’t do this to me!”
Realizing that pleading with Rayan was not working, Emma crawled to Elspeth’s side and tugged at her skirt, begging,
“Elspeth, on the behalf of the fact that we’re both women with our own hardships, can you tell him to let me go?”
Upon seeing that Emma was now playing the pity card with her, Elspeth glanced at her unruly state and didn’t feel an ounce of pity. If anything, she even felt like gloating as she said,
“When you constantly tested my limits before this, did you ever consider that this would happen to you?”
Elspeth rubbed her sore wrists and extended a finger, raising Emma’s chin. Before she left the house, Emma had dolled herself up beautifully, but her makeup was now smudged by her tears, making her look miserable and pathetic.
“Elspeth, I know that you’re a kind woman, right?”
Elspeth chortled and removed her hand disdainfully.
“Don’t mess with me, and I won’t mess with you. I’ve never said that I was kind.”
At the sound of her words, Emma was basically certain that Elspeth would not let herself off easily! She plopped onto the ground helplessly, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes. She did not make the slightest sound as fear had already taken over her mind. She could not foresee what would happen to her next, but there was one thing she knew for certain-she was done for.
Although Elspeth really wanted to watch Emma being tormented, she had more important things to tend to. Now, the others didn’t know about her situation and thought she had been kidnapped, so she needed to leave as soon as possible to let them know and not make them worry.
Thinking this, she glanced at Rayan beside her with a serene smile.
“Mr. Adler, I feel a little unwell at the moment, so I want to head home and rest. I’ll leave this side of things to you.”
After saying that, she even went over and squeezed his shoulder, showing her concern.
Rayan had never seen her so assertive, and he assumed that their relationship had soared because of this matter, so he instantly agreed.
“Then you should hurry back and get some rest. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of things for you.”
Elspeth smiled and followed the bodyguard he had appointed out of the basement. After watching Elspeth leave, Rayan turned his gaze back to Emma, who was still on the ground. She shrank back a little, her pupils dilating as she looked at the bloodthirsty light glowing in his eyes.
After leaving the basement, Elspeth first eluded Rayan’s spies before rushing to Logan’s establishment, where he had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her come back unscathed, his eyes flickered with amazement.
“I never thought you would actually come back without having suffered under him in the slightest,”
he said.
Elspeth was startled.
“How did you know that he’d taken me away?”
Logan smiled faintly while pointing at the surveillance camera above.
“I knew that from watching the surveillance footage, of course. He’s been here today.”
“What about the scimitar?”
Elspeth sounded rather anxious; her greatest dread was that the scimitar might have been taken away.
“I’ve put it away, so don’t worry about this,”
Logan replied. Seeing how quick she was in doing her job, he couldn’t help but compliment her,
“But it was really smart of you to trick him into leaving the scimitar here in such a short time.”
I’m smart, huh? No, the credit actually belongs to Callum, thought Elspeth. Seeing that Logan was in a good mood, she made her request, asking,
“In that case, would you still give me the medicinal ingredient as you promised me before?”
Seeing how serious she looked, Logan couldn’t help but reply with a laugh,
“The promise is still valid, of course. That’s what I promised you, and I’m not someone who goes back on my word.”
With that, he turned back to the counter and took a small box out of the chest inside before handing it to her.
“The medicinal ingredient you want is in here. Just take it.”
Elspeth carefully put it away before smiling at him.
“Thank you, Mr. Chapman. Well, then, I won’t come here anymore.”
“Are you really not coming here anymore?”
Logan suddenly felt like joking with her before she left.
“Well, that’s a shame. Our establishment is gonna lose another pretty face.”
Pretty face… Is he referring to how I previously worked here as a hostess? Elspeth felt so embarrassed that she wished the ground could open and swallow her up.
“No, that’s not the case. I don’t deserve your compliment.”
