Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 232

Moriah immediately put on an aggrieved expression when she saw Callum.

Callum has had quite a nice impression on me previously. He wouldn’t detest me for no reason if it weren’t for

Elspeth!

If I beg him for mercy, perhaps he will sympathize with me.

“Cal, I… I was framed by this woman. You have to seek justice for me!”

She then pretended to cry, which stunned Callum.

When did I ever have such a close relationship with this woman?

Elspeth looked at Callum’s expression and knew exactly what he was thinking. Thus, she couldn’t control herself

from bursting out in laughter.

“Why are you laughing?”

Moriah was still in the dark, but she still stubbornly argued, “Do you really believe that Cal will listen to you just

because you’ve been with him for a while? I’ll have you know that Cal is a man of principle! He won’t be fooled by

you!”

Callum, however, looked at Moriah and said in an icy cold voice, “To me, Elspeth is my principle.”

Moriah’s expression immediately changed to one of defeat.

“How can you help Elspeth bully me, Cal? I’ve known you longer than she has. How can you be so nice to a woman

you’ve only just met?”

Moriah couldn’t understand what Callum was thinking and she was overwhelmed with jealousy.

She never loved Callum because she knew that Callum was completely out of her league. He was someone

distinguished and inviolable; no one would ever be worthy of him.

But he was now someone’s boyfriend! It was impossible for Moriah to not be jealous.

“Callum, do you both know each other very well?” Elspeth abruptly asked.

Callum quickly walked to her side and wrapped one of his hands around her waist, saying, “Of course not.”

“No? Cal, have you forgotten that you’ve previously hugged me—”

Before Moriah could finish her sentence, she felt Callum’s cold glare on her, making her embarrassed to continue

further.

Such a stare from him sent chills down her spine.

“Pray tell, when did I ever hug you?”

Moriah was at a loss for words.

Indeed, it wasn’t a hug. It was just that she had a heat stroke and Arthur had handed her to Callum. She could

never forget Callum’s disgusted expression at the time and how he quickly went to wash his hands without any

hesitation after putting her down.

Elspeth leisurely yawned as she drawled, “If there’s nothing else, we shall get going. Moriah, you can go look for the

director if you have anything to say.”

The director…

Moriah gritted her teeth when she heard that. Elspeth was the one who requested the director to force Moriah to

resign, so there was no way the director would help her now.

But Elspeth was no longer interested in continuing the conversation.

At that point, a few people dressed as workers walked in. Elspeth instructed, “Remove the heater. After all, I was the

one who bought it, and I don’t want the hospital to have it.”

Moriah’s jaw dropped when she heard this. What a stingy woman!

“Oh, Miss Oliver, the heater stopped functioning while you were in charge. The director said that if I take my heater

away, you will have to pay for a new one.”

Moriah was so enraged that her teeth almost broke from her grinding them together. “Elspeth Lynwood!”

“There’s no use in saying my name. You should start thinking about how to pay for that without an income.”

With that, Elspeth then smiled at Moriah before waving to the workers for them to leave with her.

Callum also took a look at Moriah and asked her to behave herself before he left.

Moriah was the only one left in the ward as she stood there motionless.

When Elspeth returned to the hotel, she was much happier.

Callum curved the corners of his lips as well when he saw how happy she was. “Why are you so happy?”

“Moriah is indeed a terrible person. Hence, it’s not too much for us to give her a lesson, right?”

Moriah’s matter was still on her mind.

“She got what she deserves. Let’s start making plans for our upcoming trip.”

However, Elspeth gave him a mysterious smile. “Perhaps you should explain to me why you hugged her back then.”

Her smile held hints of darkness to it.

Callum was a little helpless when he saw that. Why is she harping on this?

“Arthur had previously attended an event with Moriah, but Moriah had a heat stroke and fainted. He happened to

run into me halfway and asked that I take her to the hospital. As a result, I had no choice but to take her from him

and throw her in the backseat.”

As Callum’s attitude was sincere, Elspeth retracted her doubtful gaze, but she questioned again, “Is there anything

else?”

“I washed my hands more than ten times after that. I even sent my car for a car wash.”

The corners of her mouth twitched. “You’re so rude.”

Her depressed feeling about him hugging Moriah vanished in an instant.

“Can we meet Yelena and the others before we travel? They are still shooting here, right?”

Callum didn’t want their travel plans to be disrupted, so he asked in a slightly reluctant tone, “Can we not do so?”

“But I haven’t seen them in a long time! Besides, they are all actors in my company. Jordan and I are the only

investors, but Jordan has been accompanying Angie every day. Without me going, there would be no one to

supervise them.”

Elspeth said it so sincerely that Callum found no reason to turn her down. Hence, he agreed helplessly.

Both of them then drove to the shooting location. When they reached the place, they stumbled upon Max feeding

Yelena water.

Everyone in the crew wasn’t surprised because they had seen Max and Yelena act this way before, but it was such a

rare scene for Callum and Elspeth that they were taken aback.

Elspeth was surprised by how fast the couple had progressed, while Callum was shocked because he had never

seen Max being so gentle.

Max’s loving actions of feeding Yelena water and wiping her mouth were even sweeter than Elspeth and Callum, the

real couple.

“It’s so good to be young,” Elspeth said sentimentally.

But Callum misinterpreted what she meant and assumed she expected to be treated the same way. “Do you like

people feeding you water too?” he asked doubtfully as he turned his head and looked at her.

“No, I don’t. I like money. You can buy me some gold.”

“But I’ve given all my money to you to manage them. I can’t afford to buy gold now,” Callum mumbled with his

brows furrowed.

The man was a CEO, but he was a pauper as well. Even the money used to purchase the heater yesterday had to

be approved by Elspeth.

Although he couldn’t buy her gold, Elspeth was still pleased with what he said.

“This means that you did not hide any money. That’s good. Please keep it up.”

As both of them were speaking slightly louder, it drew the attention of the young couple nearby.

Yelena immediately became nervous and had her face flushed when she saw Elspeth smiling.

Elspeth then walked over to Yelena and caressed her head. “What happened? You don’t seem to be happy seeing

me.”

Yelena shook her head vigorously in response. “Of course not! How would I be unhappy seeing you? I miss you so

much!”

“Where’s Blake and Timothy? Are they fine?” Elspeth asked while looking around.

However, the mention of their names made Yelena grimace as she said hesitantly, “Blake is fine, but Timothy…”

Elspeth knew that something was amiss, so she prompted, “What happened to Timothy?”

“He’s in trouble,” Yelena gritted out through clenched teeth.
