Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 81

Chapter 81

"Don't be concerned, Elspeth. I will take care of Max!" Yelena stated.

Max locked his gaze on her. "I don't need your care!"

Elspeth nodded when she heard that. "Okay. Go ahead, then."

After saying goodbye to Max and Yelena, Elspeth went to the hospital alone.

Since it had been three days, the DNA test results would be ready.

However, she had no intention of reading the report when she received it.

She was confident that she and Callum were not biologically related. Margot only told a complicated falsehood to keep the two of them apart.

Elspeth then returned the report to the Winthrop Residence. She ran into Arthur, who was at home changing

clothes.

When he noticed the report in her palm, he lifted his brows and smiled significantly. "What did you do, Elspeth?"

"It's none of your concern. Don't you have anything more important to do?"

She had stopped being cordial to him since the previous event.

Arthur turned pale upon hearing that. Then, he remembered Elspeth's rage was justified, so he regained his composure. "Don't be mad at me, Elspeth. You'll soon realize that sticking with me is the best option."

Elspeth couldn't help but smirk when she heard him talking gibberish. "You think that is the right decision? No, thank you. I can't get help if you try to get rid of me and kill me." Elspeth would never be able to forget Lydia or her mother's death.

"Callum is not for you, Elspeth. He was in love with Emma but quickly forgot about her and fell in love with you. How can you possibly believe him? You should also be aware that she will return in a short time. Even if he wants to be with you, she will affect him immediately. Oh, and by the way, you and she are alike in that you are both obstinate."

Arthur is still attempting to brainwash me!

"Okay, we all know what you're thinking," Elspeth coldly remarked while taking a step back. "You should run along with your work. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After speaking, she went upstairs directly.

Arthur shook his head helplessly and smiled.

Elspeth will never learn without experiencing pain.

In the evening, everyone in the Winthrop Family was present. Elspeth took the opportunity to take the DNA test results from her bag after dinner.

Mrs. Winthrop, we need to clarify certain things."

She placed the report in front of Margot and lightly said, "I must make it clear that I am not related by blood to Mr. Winthrop. I don't want to say anything hurtful since it will cause harm to everyone. I did the test with Callum because I want you to know that my mother has nothing to do with Mr. Winthrop,"

Callum sat there quietly and silently ate while listening to Elspeth's explanation.

Elspeth knew she was doing it for Helena, not herself. She couldn't stand it when others disparaged a nice

woman like her mother.

"Hmph! Who knows if you made changes to the report? Margot didn't want to admit it, so she devised numerous ways to deny it.

Surprisingly, Arthur, who rarely stood out and spoke for Elspeth, now stated, "Take a look, Mom. Wouldn't your be wronging an innocent person if you misunderstood the situation?"

Margot locked her gaze on him. She hadn't expected Arthur, who was usually gentle and non-provoking, to say something like that. He was even siding with Elspeth, which made her very angry. Furthermore, Blake couldn't bear the thought of Elspeth being harmed. "Don't hurt an innocent person, Morn. Elspeth couldn't possibly be Dad's daughter."

Max also chimed in, "That's correct, Mom. Elspeth's mother is not like this."

Edmund did not speak for Elspeth, but his look indicated that he felt his mother was messing around.

At that point, Margot grumbled to herself, Elspeth is an evil witch! She has captivated my lads to the point where they dare question me!

"Mrs. Winthrop, my mother is a good and honest person. I can't let her face this kind of injustice now that her whereabouts are unknown. Please read this report." Elspeth then pushed the report over. Margot was too humiliated to continue causing problems at that moment, so she could only pick it up and browse through it. When the last page declared that the two had no blood ties, she knew that her strategy had failed.

"What do you think, Mrs. Winthrop? Is it similar to what I said? Mr. Winthrop and I are not related by blood, correct?"

Margot replied slowly, "Yes. What's the big deal? My husband had feelings for your mother. Even if you aren't his child, how can you bear to be with Callum?"

Arthur was taken aback when he heard that.

How is that even possible?! I swapped the contents, so they should be blood relatives now. Elspeth didn't have the time or inclination to take another test. Plus, I tampered with it, so how can the outcome be negative?

Then, an audacious thought occurred to him.

Can it be that either Callum or I am not a Winthrop?

The notion sent shivers up Arthur's spine.

Callum will never be able to turn over a new leaf if he isn't a child of the Winthrop Family. But what if that person is me? It's alright; everything is fine. I've worked my way up to this position step by step. The family will be mine as long as I marry Elspeth. I'm not going to give up now!

At that thought, he didn't mention anything about tampering with the report. Instead, he comforted Margot, "It's fine, Mom. Elspeth has a contract with the Winthrops that requires her to marry into the family at some point. If that's the case, she should avoid marrying any of the family's sons."

Margot suddenly realized she had made a slip of the tongue and she sighed.

"I trust you understand what I mean, Elspeth. I'm not stopping you from associating with the Winthrops, but Callum's fiancée is Ophelia, as we agreed long ago. Everyone will be in trouble if you interfere in his life. You are a bright young lady and I believe you understand what I mean."

However, Elspeth only lightly grinned. "Mrs. Winthrop, we are in the twenty-first century. Parents' orders and

matchmaking are no longer common. If you believe Ophelia is best suited to be Callum's wife, why not ask him about it? Inquire whether he prefers to marry Ophelia or me."

For the first time, Elspeth had stated her stand. Callum curved his lips slightly after listening

She understands how to fight back. That's the woman I admire.
