Chapter 300
When Elspeth was about to go past Callum, someone stopped her, “Hi, Elspeth. Want to chat?” Emma
smiled innocently as if she wanted to be friends with Elspeth and the feud between them never existed.
Elspeth shot her an icy look. “I’m coming after you sooner or later, Emma. Don’t challenge my patience.”
Emma hung her head low like an innocent kitten. “I know I shouldn’t have done that, but I’m trying to be
friends with you and patch things up with you. Why can’t you let it go?”
Callum would have taken Elspeth’s side in the past, but now he stood there in silence.
“Callum, I really do want to be friends with Elspeth.” She turned around and gave him a pouty look.
He still remembered the feud, but he had lost all feelings for Elspeth, so he just stood there and didn’t
chastise Emma either.
“I have nothing to say to you.” Elspeth could feel her blood boiling. Look at her. She thinks she has won.
If looks could kill, Emma would have already died a thousand times.
Gilbert had been watching the drama in silence until now, but when he noticed Elspeth’s fury, he quickly
stood up for her. “Callum, Elspeth is your girlfriend. Why are you taking Emma’s side?”
This is the second man to yell at me, and for Elspeth. Callum’s face fell. “I don’t need you to tell me what
to do.” And as if he wanted to get back at Elspeth, Callum approached Emma and smiled. “Let’s go in,
shall we?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmma looked at him in surprise. She thought he was lying, but he wasn’t. She nodded delightfully. “Of
course.”
Elspeth watched helplessly as they entered the lobby together.
She’s still not giving up? Gilbert laughed mirthlessly. “See? Your boyfriend just went inside with another
woman!”
“I know.”
“And not just any woman. His goddamn ex. Do you know what this means? They’re probably dating
again!” I’m a guy. I know that look Callum gave Emma. That was a look of love.
Elspeth hung her head low in dejection. “I know.”
“Then, cut your losses right now. You keep holding on and he’s going to dump you. When that happens,
don’t come crying to me.” He shot her a look of disappointment. Someone then called him. When Gilbert
saw who it was, he left a few messages for Elspeth before walking away to meet up with his friend.
Once again, Elspeth was alone. She raised her head, but what met her gaze was Callum talking
intimately with Emma. A sigh escaped her lips. She walked to a corner and held up a glass of wine. Just
when she was about to drink her worries away, a shrill voice spoke.
“Why, if it isn’t Elspeth? Why are you alone? Where’s Callum?”
Emma was standing by Elspeth’s side.
Elspeth looked at her drink and finished the last of it. “You know why. That’s a redundant question.”
Emma shrugged the snappish answer off and laughed delightfully. “Even God is helping me. He has
forgotten all about your love. So much for undying love.”
“That’s none of your business. I’m still his fiancée, but you’re just an ex of his.” Elspeth twirled her wine
glass with one hand, the other balling into a fist. She wasn’t sure if Callum still loved her, but she wanted
to take Emma down a peg or two.
“So what? I still appeared in his life earlier than you did. You know how much he used to love me. Now
that he has lost all feelings for you, it’s only a matter of time before he comes back to me.” I can get
married to him soon. Emma’s eyes glimmered with excitement. All I have to do is take this woman down.
“Yeah, right. Even if he were to break up with me, he wouldn’t marry you. Don’t forget all the disgusting
stuff you did. His family will never accept you.” The Winthrops don’t like her.
That hit the bullseye, and Emma’s face contorted with rage. “What are you talking about? We’re very
much in love.” Damn it. She’s trying to pit us against each other again. “He told me he has lost all
feelings for you. You can’t still be waiting for him to remember all about your love?” Emma chuckled
shyly. “He told me he still couldn’t forget about me.”
Elspeth chuckled. “You’re delusional. You’re at best a four out of ten, and you slept with about a hundred
men. To hell if the Winthrops will accept you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInfuriated, Emma was about to yell at Elspeth, but she saw Callum slowly moving toward them. She
calmed down and turned away. While out of Callum’s sight, she sneered. “Want to make a bet? Let’s see
whom he cares about more.”
Alarm bells rang in Elspeth’s head. “What are you talking about?”
“Nothing.” Emma chuckled. “Just trying to have some cheap thrills.” Right after she said that, she
slammed her foot into the gigantic wooden rack filled with wine glasses. The rack started to wobble, and
eventually, it fell down on the ladies.
This is going to hurt badly, and it’s too late to run. I can’t dodge either. I’ll be hit either way. Elspeth
closed her eyes. Before everything fell to darkness, she saw Emma smiling venomously at her.
The pain didn’t come. Elspeth opened her eyes and found herself lying in someone’s embrace. It
warmed her heart, but when she looked up, her smile disappeared. It’s not Callum.
Why the f*ck is this woman looking at me so dumbly? Gilbert roared, “Are you mad? You could’ve
dodged that thing!” If I had reached her one second later, she would’ve drowned in a mountain of broken
glass.
Elspeth blinked, trying to wake her mind up. I’m the only victim. Wait, where’s Emma? She turned
around. Emma was also unhurt, and she was lying in Callum’s embrace. She pretended to shake with
fear. Softly, she said, “That was scary. Elspeth kicked that rack for some reason, a-and then it fell on us.”
Emma looked into Callum’s eyes lovingly and shot Elspeth a smug look. “Good thing you came in time.”
Elspeth froze, a sense of sorrow filling her soul. Callum… saved Emma. He chose her over me.
