Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

“When we were young. Ophelia and Arthur weren’t that close to each other. Moreover, because Arthur has always been a gentle person since young, and he looked quite prone to getting bullied, Ophelia looked down on him and chose to stick to me instead.”

Elspeth couldn’t help but tease, “Looks like you have always been a heartthrob since young. No wonder people are fond of you.”

“Come on, rein in the jokes for a bit.” Callum put on a serious expression. “So, I never expected Arthur to speak up for Ophelia.”

“That means you believe me now?”

“Yes. Your calm and composed attitude were a stark contrast to Ophelia’s panicked state. It’s difficult not to suspect her.”

Elspeth was instantly in a good mood, and even her attitude was considerably more agreeable. “So, what’s next?”

“Now I feel like neither Ophelia nor Arthur can be trusted. I’m going to transfer Mom to another hospital. It has been a week, but she hasn’t woken up yet. Something is wrong here.”

Elspeth blinked at him. “Looks like you’re not as dumb as I thought you were.”

Callum was speechless.

Still, when he saw Elspeth returning to her usual self, his mood was lifted greatly.

“If that’s so, I can tag along and help. We can’t have Arthur and Ophelia realize that we have already caught on to them.”

“No need. I have my own plans for this matter.”

Azure Corporation held shares in almost all the hospitals in the area. Elspeth didn’t think that Callum could handle this better than her.

When Elspeth heard what he said, she was about to tease him when she suddenly realized that Callum didn’t know her identity at the moment. So, she could only swallow the words she was about to say.

“Well, fine. But if you need any help, you can call me anytime.”

Elspeth nodded. Then, she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

The voice coming from the phone sounded familiar. It was only then that she remembered she had been

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

After ending the call, Elspeth curved her lips into a faint smile. “I have something to do right now. Gotta go.”

Callum nodded. “All right.”

After bidding Callum goodbye, Elspeth went to a café nearby, which was the location she and Timothy had agreed to meet at earlier.

Elspeth had just arrived when she saw Timothy seated a short distance away, drinking coffee. Just like his name, he looked reserved and polite, and he exhibited no trace of his maniacal behavior last night.

“Have a seat, please, Miss Lynwood.”

Elspeth smiled as she sat down. “So, have you already made the preparations to join Luminous?”

The way Elspeth treated him made his eyes slightly red. “Miss Lynwood, thank you.”

“For what?”

Timothy took a deep breath. “I know you banked in 2 million to me last night. The 2 million was enough to pay for my wife’s treatment.”

Elspeth paused for a moment, then said, interested, “How did you know it was me?”

“Miss Lynwood, I am now helpless and all alone. You’re the only person who would’ve helped me out, so how can it be anyone else?”

“It’s okay. This is your due reward, isn’t it?”

Elspeth smiled faintly. “This is also considered… ransom for Yelena.”

Timothy’s face turned red in an instant.

He kidnapped Yelena because he had run out of options. His wife was seriously ill, and he needed money urgently to pay for the treatment.

But he had lost even his job, so where could he get money to pay for the treatment?

After thinking about it, he could only choose the fastest and riskiest route kidnap Yelena, so that someone would be forced to pay him I million as ransom.

“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking straight…“

Elspeth waved her hand. “It’s okay, the other 1 million serves as a welcome gift for your joining Luminous. swear to be forever loyal to Luminous!”

“You’re exaggerating, Mr. Stevens. You don’t have to swear oaths like that.”

Even though giving out 2 million felt like it was for nothing, at least she managed to win the loyalty of an

excellent manager.

If Elspeth knew that this dejected man would later serve a huge contribution to Luminous, she would praise

herself for her current decision.

“If things go smoothly, you can report in at Luminous tomorrow. Just mention my name and you should be all right.”

Elspeth stood up and got ready to leave, but Timothy called out to her, stopping her.

“Miss Lynwood.”

Elspeth turned around with a confused expression on her face. “What’s wrong?”

Timothy thought for a bit, then couldn’t help but blurt out, “You’re the president of Azure Corporation, aren’t you?”

Elspeth’s smile froze on her face.

“Why do you think that?”

“If you’re not the president of Azure Corporation, why would you spend so much effort to get me to work at Luminous? If a mere mention of your name would grant me entry at Luminous, it’s easy to imagine the high position you’re in for me to be treated like that.”

Timothy wasn’t one to hold onto traditions and stereotypes. Instead, from all his struggling years of experience with companies, he could tell that the brilliant young lady in front of him was his boss.

“Since you’ve already guessed it, I’ll stop pretending. Yes, I am the president of Azure Corporation, and I sincerely want you to work in my company.”

Elspeth readily admitted it.

After all, even if the bottom staff didn’t know who she was, by the time Timothy joined the company, he would be one of the executives at Luminous and would find out sooner or later.

“All right, got it. Thank you, President.”

Seeing that Elspeth wasn’t hiding it from him, Timothy grew more attached to her.

“Arthur?”

Elspeth saw him sitting on the chair, and he blocked her way just by extending one of his long legs. She was feeling more annoyed now.

“Why? Did you not want to see me?”

Arthur took a sip of coffee with a leisurely smile on his face.

He never thought that he would encounter her here. It saved him the trouble of looking for her.

“If you have nothing important to say, please stop appearing in my life. I’m utterly disgusted every time I see you.”

Arthur shook his head, an exasperated look on his face. “It must be fate that we ran into each other. Since you’re here, why don’t you sit down and have a chat with me? Perhaps you’d be interested in the truth behind my mom’s incident…”

At the mention of Margot, Elspeth instantly stopped in her tracks.

“What are you trying to say?”

Seeing that she had turned around, Arthur grew more confident. “I have a deal to discuss with you.”

Elspeth sat down on a chair nearby and raised her head, her eyes wary. “Tell me. What deal are you thinking of?”

“A deal you’ll be interested in.” Arthur raised an eyebrow. “I know that you’re suspecting that matter, and you found some evidence to prove that instead of you, Ophelia was the one who harmed my mom. In an attempt to clear your name, you must’ve put in quite a lot of effort, right?”
