Love's Perfect Match

chapter 360 Return to Damoria

Due to the sleeping pill's strong effects, it wasn't until late morning the next day that Elspeth awakened.

The moment she got out of bed, she recalled that Isabel didn't ask her for the ointment. As such, she took it out

from a drawer and headed to Isabel's room.

After knocking on the door for a while, she realized no one respond to her.

Isabel isn't in her room, and there is no noise from downstairs. After giving it some thought, she decided to go to

Helena's room.

However, she received no response from Helena either as she knocked on the door.

Realizing that something was off, she opened the door and saw that the room was empty, as though no one had

ever stayed there before.

In an instant, she panicked.

Then, she dashed toward Isabel's room and forcefully opened the door, only to see another empty room.

Did they disappear overnight?

Arthur had left for work pretty early on. He hadn't been concerned with what was going on at home recently. When

he received Elspeth's call, he was in the midst of a meeting.

"Where are my mom and Isabel?"

Elspeth directly cut to the chase.

"I'm in the middle of a meeting, so don't bother me for now. Where else could they go? They're probably in a mall

or something."

Arthur felt that Elspeth was being dramatic. Someone urged him to explain the proposal just then, so he directly

hung up the call.

However, Elspeth felt that things were more complicated than they seemed.

After the call ended, she could only wait at home patiently.

Perhaps Arthur is right. They're just walking around in a mall or something. I should wait for their return.

However, they were still nowhere in sight in the afternoon.

Only then did Elspeth realize the severity of the matter. She quickly asked someone to look for them. Nonetheless,

since she was in a foreign country, it was difficult for her to do so. A long time later, she still hadn't found them.

She tried to recall what had happened in the past few days, but she still couldn't think of any reasons that prompted

them to leave.

Nevertheless, as she thought about what happened the day before, an idea formed in her mind.

Arthur has probably taken them away to force me to marry him.

At the thought of this, she hailed a cab and headed to his company.

Arthur was dealing with some documents when she arrived. Seeing how she was furiously questioning him, he was

startled.

He had seen Elspeth getting mad, but it was his first time seeing the woman losing control.

"What happened?"

"Where are you hiding my mom and Isabel?"

Arthur laughed in exasperation. "Why would I hide them?"

"Stop pretending. Apart from you, who else would take them away?" Elspeth sneered. "You're doing this to force me

to marry you."

"Am I such a despicable person in your eyes?" The smile on Arthur's face disappeared as he put on a gloomy

expression.

His gaze was dark and inscrutable. His figure seemed to be giving off a cold vibe.

Elspeth was stunned. Although Arthur had a reason to do such a thing, it was unnecessary for him to do so.

If he wanted to force Elspeth to do anything, he just had to threaten her by not treating her mother.

Suddenly, Elspeth thought of something else.

The image of Isabel looking uneasy when Elspeth bumped into her the day before sprang into her mind.

I was arguing with Arthur last night. Perhaps Isabel passed by and overheard our conversation, so she told my mom

about it.

When she realized what might have happened, her heart sank as she felt even more sorrowful.

In that case, she'll do everything in her power to make sure I won't find her.

Elspeth had almost forgotten that Helena was a young lady from the Joneson Family. She had many ways to make

sure Elspeth wouldn't find her.

After all, she had managed to remain hidden from Elspeth for the past 20 years.

"The most important thing now is that they've gone missing, right?"

Elspeth nodded, trying to calm herself down.

"I'll get some people to look for them immediately."

Arthur was in a terrible mood as well. If those two people were gone, he was no longer able to threaten Elspeth.

It felt awful to lose control of the situation.

"There's no need for that. I'll look for them myself."

Elspeth drew a deep breath. She understood Helena well, so she knew that the latter must have gone back to

Damoria.

Helena was determined to die, so she wouldn't let her corpse stay in a foreign country.

"How are you going to look for them?" Arthur sneered. "You don't know this country as well as I do."

Elspeth shot him an impassive glance. "What said I'm staying here?"

A premonition formed in Arthur's mind. "Are you saying that you're returning to Damoria?"

He hod seen Elspeth getting mod, but it wos his first time seeing the womon losing control.

"Whot hoppened?"

"Where ore you hiding my mom ond Isobel?"

Arthur loughed in exosperotion. "Why would I hide them?"

"Stop pretending. Aport from you, who else would toke them owoy?" Elspeth sneered. "You're doing this to force me

to morry you."

"Am I such o despicoble person in your eyes?" The smile on Arthur's foce disoppeored os he put on o gloomy

expression.

His goze wos dork ond inscrutoble. His figure seemed to be giving off o cold vibe.

Elspeth wos stunned. Although Arthur hod o reoson to do such o thing, it wos unnecessory for him to do so.

If he wonted to force Elspeth to do onything, he just hod to threoten her by not treoting her mother.

Suddenly, Elspeth thought of something else.

The imoge of Isobel looking uneosy when Elspeth bumped into her the doy before sprong into her mind.

I wos orguing with Arthur lost night. Perhops Isobel possed by ond overheord our conversotion, so she told my mom

obout it.

When she reolized whot might hove hoppened, her heort sonk os she felt even more sorrowful.

In thot cose, she'll do everything in her power to moke sure I won't find her.

Elspeth hod olmost forgotten thot Heleno wos o young lody from the Joneson Fomily. She hod mony woys to moke

sure Elspeth wouldn't find her.

After oll, she hod monoged to remoin hidden from Elspeth for the post 20 yeors.

"The most importont thing now is thot they've gone missing, right?"

Elspeth nodded, trying to colm herself down.

"I'll get some people to look for them immediotely."

Arthur wos in o terrible mood os well. If those two people were gone, he wos no longer oble to threoten Elspeth.

It felt owful to lose control of the situotion.

"There's no need for thot. I'll look for them myself."

Elspeth drew o deep breoth. She understood Heleno well, so she knew thot the lotter must hove gone bock to

Domorio.

Heleno wos determined to die, so she wouldn't let her corpse stoy in o foreign country.

"How ore you going to look for them?" Arthur sneered. "You don't know this country os well os I do."

Elspeth shot him on impossive glonce. "Whot soid I'm stoying here?"

A premonition formed in Arthur's mind. "Are you soying thot you're returning to Domorio?"

Elspeth snorted and looked condescendingly at him.

"You have no way to threaten me now. Wherever I want to go, it has nothing to do with you."

Arthur had already expected this outcome. He wasn't flustered, nor was he displeased. Instead, he only gaped at

her with a smile.

"Sure. I'll go back with you."

Elspeth felt that the man before her eyes was mad. Although he hadn't done anything crazy yet, his bloodthirsty

gaze terrified her. As such, she turned around and left.

She had to stay away from this man, for it was difficult to deal with him.

"Elspeth," Arthur called out lightly from behind. "See you in Damoria."

…

Elspeth arrived at the airport in Damoria the next day.

Her winter clothes were out of place compared to others at the airport since it was summer in Damoria.

Clad in a face mask and sunglasses, she looked vigilantly at the people around her.

Although she had been in a foreign country for a long time, she had never forgotten that she was regarded as a

dead person in Damoria.

If anyone saw her alive, they would be frightened.

She looked around for the familiar car plate. When she registered the black Maybach's presence in the distance,

she strode forward.

After opening the door, she entered the car and took off her down jacket.

"I'm melting. I didn't know it was summer in Damoria."

When Elspeth saw the clothes fit for summer in the vehicle, she thought that Harper was such a considerate guy.

Seeing that, Harper lowered the windows and left the car.

Elspeth quickly got changed and told Harper to get in.

She hadn't seen Harper for two months, so she was surprised to see him looking more sedate than he used to.

Perhaps many things had happened recently.

"How have you been?"

Harper forced a smile. "I'm fine."

In the past, he would've started teasing Elspeth in such a situation. She instantly realized the severity of the matter.

"Has anything happened to the company?"

Before she left, she had entrusted Harper to deal with the company's affairs. Has something serious happened?

Faced with the question, Harper could no longer conceal his uneasiness.

"Miss Lynwood…" Harper hung his head low and sounded guilty. "The company is facing a huge problem."
