Chapter 514 Disgusting

"I'm sorry, Miss Lynwood. He barged right in. I couldn't stop him," Lily quickly explained.

Elspeth didn't panic, though. She picked her teacup up and took a sip. She didn't even bother with the intruder. There was nothing to be worried about since she wasn't the one who did this.

Bobby had been the one who stormed into the office. He couldn't stand the sight of Elspeth.

"Mr. McGrath, next time you want to accuse me of something, show your evidence. I don't have time to play with you." The woman initially thought it was Haris, but to her surprise, it was Bobby-Jasmine's father. After saying that, Elspeth extended her arm. "If you're here to demand an explanation, I must ask you to leave." She smiled. "I have work to do."

Bobby was surprised that Elspeth wasn't even showing him an ounce of courtesy. And it was surprising that she didn't look nervous at all. Is there more to this news? But if Elspeth didn't do it, then who? Could it be Callum? They're the only ones who have a grudge against Jasmine.

When Elspeth saw him deep in thought, she knew right away that Bobby had been tricked by someone into coming after her.

"I have no concrete proof, but I will replace it someday. You're not getting away."

"Come at me whenever you please." She smiled. Her carefree attitude was starting to make Bobby second-guess himself that he actually got the wrong person. "And you should look before you leap, Mr. McGrath. Do you think Old Mr. McGrath doesn't know about this? He knows more than you think, yet he's not the one who came. Try to figure out why."

Bobby had no answer for that. Hey, I'm the older man here. Show me some respect, young lady. Elspeth's attitude didn't sit well with him, but he was in the wrong here, so he said nothing.

"I see you're beginning to understand where you went wrong. I trust you'll figure things out soon enough." She smiled. "If nothing else, escort him out, Lily."

Lily tugged on her hem and extended her arm. "If you may, Mr. McGrath."

Bobby took a deep breath and straightened his collar out before he left.

"You're awesome, Miss Lynwood. You made him leave just like that." Lily was grinning happily. She was delighted to see Bobby lose the fight.

"I didn't actually do anything. He just got the wrong person. There was nothing I had to do."

Lily nodded. "True. You're not the culprit here. But honestly, I can't believe Jasmine. She tried to kill you, and now that she's exposed, she expects you to give her an explanation instead. Unbelievable!" "Not like the first time she's done this. Just ignore her." Elspeth stretched her arms. "If nothing else, you can leave now."

Lily nodded. "Of course, Miss Lynwood."

Before Lily left, Elspeth said, "Lily, call Edmund and help me arrange a meetup with him."

"Of course."

Elspeth was sure Arthur was behind this scandal. He wanted to push all the blame onto her. And here I thought he had forgotten about it. So, this is his plan.

At lunch break, she went to the third floor's cafeteria and got a bowl of oyakodon. After she took a seat, she noticed someone taking up the seat across from her. She thought the person was just trying to share

a table, but they weren't moving for a long time. Then, she raised her head. The first thing she saw was an arrogant smile. "It's been a while, Elspeth."

"It's only been a week. So, have you healed up, Mr. Winthrop?" Elspeth scooped up a spoonful of rice and popped it into her mouth, ignoring the upset Arthur.

Arthur had to stay at home for a few days to heal up. His arm was sprained after he got tossed out of the car. And the fact that Elspeth was using it to mock him annoyed him.

"So, to what do I owe the pleasure? Or are you just here so I can laugh at you?"

Arthur stroked his chin as he looked around. When he saw no one was around, he said, "I heard Bobby came to you this morning."

"Ah, your sources are fast. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought there were spies in my company."

"What? No. I just sent my men to tail the McGraths."

Surprised, Elspeth put her spoon down. "Why?" To watch them start another drama with me?

"Because I was worried about you."

As if, she thought. However, when she looked at him closely, she realized he was being serious. "Yeah, right. You should be hating me after I helped Callum out last time."

"Why would I? I was sad and jealous that you helped him, but I still like you. So, I still want to take you back." Agitated, Arthur held her hand. It was cold. As cold as a corpse's hand.

Elspeth didn't break free right away. Instead, she looked at him coldly. "Snap out of it, Arthur."

With that, the fanatical fire in Arthur's eyes died out a little. "I am more awake than ever. My goal is simple-it is to have you."

Elspeth backed off and pulled her hand out. "Your goal is to take Callum and his company down. Drop the Romeo act." She never thought Arthur liked her one bit. He only came after her to annoy Callum. And as time passed, he muddied his feelings for her.

"I am sure I like you." He gnashed his teeth.

"Stop. You're being disgusting again," she snapped. "Are you still going to stay around? Callum's coming soon. You don't want to see him right now, do you?"

Arthur hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand reluctantly. He still didn't want to run into Callum for now.

"Good. Now, piss off," Elspeth snapped. She had lost all appetite, so she left, holding the tray in her hands.
