Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Theodore looked at Arthur's contorted face as he was deluged with a sense of disappointment. "Do you know what you're talking about, Arthur?"

Despite the smile on Arthur's face, he appeared dispassionate. "I do know what I'm talking about.

You were the one who killed my parents with your car and made me an orphan. You were afraid

of retribution, so you took me in despite your unwillingness. I've found out about all that."

"The incident is not like what you think, Arthur. The accident happened because your father was drunk driving. I happened to pass by the place and saw that you were the only survivor. At that time, your face was covered in blood, and you were seated there alone. I didn't have the heart to

see you suffer, so I decided to adopt you. How can you accuse me of killing your parents?"

As though having expected what the other man would say, Arthur sneered. "Mr. Winthrop, you should at least try to fabricate a story I have never heard before. I knew you were going to say that, so do you think I'll believe you?"

A month ago, he accidentally found out that Theodore wasn't his biological father. Instead, his father had been a lorry driver. Shocked and sorrowful, he went to a bar and got himself drunk.

The president of Alphascape Group happened to be there and broke the truth to him, which

solved the mystery that had been hidden from him for over 20 years.

He had always regarded Theodore as his father, but it wasn't until that moment that he realized

Theodore had killed his parents. He had acknowledged a murderer as his father for a long time, and he wasn't valued in the company. As such, he was determined to get his revenge. When he saw how disappointed Theodore looked, he only thought that the other man felt guilty and didn't dare tell him the truth. "Say no more. From now on, I'll have nothing to do with the Winthrop Family." Arthur glanced impassively at Elspeth and snorted. "I heard that whoever

marries Elspeth will get 20 percent of the Winthrop Group's shares. You wanted to give it to Callum from the beginning, right?"

Theodore was stunned. "How did you know?"

"That doesn't matter; what matters is that you're too biased. It's to the point where I feel queasy."

The moment Arthur was done speaking, he was ready to turn around and leave. However, Elspeth stopped him by saying, "Mr. Winthrop has raised you for years, Arthur. Don't you feel grateful to "Are you serious?" Arthur whirled around, feeling as though countless needles had been jabbed into his heart. "Before I found out the truth, I was willing to put up with all this. However, now that I've discovered he killed my parents, what right do you have to tell me I should be grateful to

a murderer?"

Arthur no longer appeared calm and collected. Instead, his gaze was filled with hatred. He then left the place, leaving behind an astounded and sorrowful Theodore. Beside him, Elspeth had mixed feelings. "Please don't be sad, Mr. Winthrop. I'm sure Arthur has been fooled by some

wicked people. He'll realize that you've always loved him."

Arthur has repressed his emotions for a long time, and what happened last night was only a trigger. It's no wonder he has always wanted to marry me. He's only after 20 percent of the Winthrop Group's shares. Now that I'm together with Callum, Arthur's dream has been crushed. As such, he can't keep pretending to be a nice guy.

"I hope he'll replace out that I've done nothing wrong sooner. I wonder what those blockheads from the Alphascape Group said to Arthur that made him misunderstand that I killed his parents!" Theodore then started coughing. Elspeth fished out a piece of tissue and helped cover his mouth, only to replace the tissue getting dyed red. "Mr. Winthrop, you're coughing blood! You must be too

furious!"

When Theodore saw the blood stains on the tissue, his fury got stuck in his throat. Finding it

difficult to breathe, he passed out directly.

Elspeth promptly took out her phone and gave Callum a call. "Please come back at once, Callum. Mr. Winthrop has blacked out!"

"What's going on?" Callum was on the way to his company. Right after he heard what she said, he turned the steering wheel and returned to the Winthrop Residence.

When he arrived home, he saw Theodore lying on the floor with traces of blood on the corner of his mouth. Meanwhile, Elspeth appeared anxious beside him. With a frown, he asked, "What happened?"

"Arthur found out that Mr. Winthrop wasn't his biological father, and he misunderstood Mr.

Winthrop for killing his parents. As such, he sold the hospital and sided with the Alphascape Group. Despite Elspeth's brief words, she managed to explain the matter clearly. "Mr. Winthrop requested Arthur to come back. He then said nasty things and infuriated Mr. Winthrop."

Callum never expected that such an over-the-top incident would take place in his family. "Arthur has finally revealed his true colors." He wasn't bothered by this matter as his attention was all on

Theodore.

After they sent Theodore to the hospital, they stood in front of his bed with complicated feelings.

"Arthur has sided with the Alphascape Group, and it's not clear what he's up to. All the same,

he'll certainly join forces with the Alphascape Group and retaliate against us. Why don't we play it by ear? If Arthur does something that harms the Winthrop Group's interest, we can promptly counterattack." Elspeth analyzed the situation calmly.

Then, she looked at Callum and his dark expression. At that instant, she realized the man was in a tight spot. "Callum, are you sad? You were still brothers the day before, yet both of you have fallen out now. I understand that you must be feeling downcast."

Despite Callum's silence, his expression had exposed his emotions.

Elspeth let out a sigh and went on to say, "This is beyond your control, Callum. Arthur can't see sense and has gone down such a path. It has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to blame yourself for not being a good elder brother."

Callum glanced at her as emotions undulated in his heart. All of a sudden, he could no longer contain his longing as he took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her.

This time, Elspeth didn't push him away out of embarrassment. Instead, she patted his back to give him some consolation.

Although Callum was a decisive person, he wasn't on good terms with Arthur despite spending the past 20 years or so as brothers. Now that Arthur had suddenly fallen out with the Winthrops, Callum was calm enough not to blow his top as Theodore had done.

"Callum, how's Dad?" Blake and Max arrived at the hospital. When they saw Theodore lying

motionless on the bed, they were anxious.

The instant Elspeth saw them, she released Callum as her heart pounded into a gallop. After pulling herself together, she said, "Mr. Winthrop only passed out because he was too furious. He's fine now, so please don't worry."

"Ms. Layme told us what happened while we were on our way here." Max was a hot-tempered

ungrateful brat. Just let him go. What's the point of dad getting furious at him?"

On the other hand, Blake was relatively calmer, but what he said was equally cruel. "Since he has decided to leave the Winthrop Family, it's pointless to feel sad for that kind of person."
