Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 470 How Did She Get Her Hands on This?

It was just a normal little act of intimacy between a married couple, but it felt different after so many people knew

about it.

Seeing everyone's excited faces around her, Elspeth wished she could just disappear. Just then, Harper walked up

next to her like a savior to her rescue.

"Elspeth, I have something to talk to you about."

Elspeth glanced at the people around her, then faked a smile. "I have something to attend to. Go back to work, and

don't talk about anything unrelated to work. If I catch anyone doing that, I'll deduct their pay for one month."

An occasional gossip was fine, but if their pay was at stake, they would know where to draw the line. Hence,

everyone quickly lowered their heads and feigned ignorance as they turned their focus on making money.

The coworker who started all this was also chased away with a glare. Elspeth followed Harper to the office. As soon

as she sat down, Harper placed a contract in front of her.

"This is a contract we've signed with Hopper Corp, concerning the talent management company. Now, Hopper

Corp, wants to break the contract. They even said that 50 million in liquidated damages is nothing to them, but the

contract must be terminated."

Elspeth immediately frowned.

It was true that 50 million in liquidated damages meant nothing, but the partnership with Hopper Corp, could

greatly benefit Azure. The internet business was thriving, so why wouldn't they want in on the deal?

"Do you know why Hopper Corp, wants to terminate the contract?"

Harper thought for a bit, then said, "I'm not very sure about the details, but according to our intel, in the past three

days, Hopper Corp, has had close contact with Arthur Winthrop. Their representative even had a meal with Arthur

three days ago, and they seemed to be on good terms."

"And by that, you mean...?"

"I suspect that this is all Arthur's doing. He probably deceived Hopper Corp, or promised them something so that

they would terminate the contract without regard for the liquidated damages."

With that, he couldn't help but add, "What the hell is wrong with Arthur? He keeps targeting us for no reason."

Harper wasn't quite informed about their complicated relationship, so he thought Arthur was just being a jerk. Only

Elspeth knew that Arthur was pressuring Azure on purpose. He was forcing her to surrender, or perhaps he wanted

to get a hold of her lifeline.

If it were before, Elspeth would've talked to Arthur right away to deal with him or negotiate. But she was a different

person now. "It's okay. I'll handle this." She chuckled.

"Elspeth, this might be unnecessary, but he's a cunning guy. You have to be careful and watch out for his traps."

Elspeth didn't care about traps. Even when she was alone in the past, Arthur couldn't do anything to her.

Now, she not only had friends, but she also had shares in Joneson Corporation, and also Callum. Elspeth was

surprised. She didn't realize it, but she had already placed her trust in Callum.

Still, it was quite a nice feeling.

"I'm glad that you're confident about this. Just tell me if you need me to do anything."

Harper had always been looking out for her. After all, they were friends who had faced death together, so he hoped

that Elspeth would be safe and that Azure would be unharmed.

Elspeth nodded as she felt unlimited warmth flooding her heart. After Harper left, she narrowed her eyes as she

quickly came up with an idea. She seemed to have decided on a person to plot with.

Three days later, Elspeth invited the president of Hopper Corp, for a meal. The president of Hopper Corp., who was

previously quite courteous, suddenly turned prideful for some reason and dragged it out for three days before

agreeing to have a meal with Elspeth. Still, Elspeth didn't mind it one bit as she followed his will and scheduled the

meal for three days later.

When it was time to meet, Elspeth wasn't in a hurry to get there. Instead, she came in half an hour late on purpose.

When she opened the door and walked in, she quickly spotted the middle- aged man seated within. A look of disdain

and disgust flashed across his face.

"You're quite bold, Miss Lynwood. You're the one who invited us, but you came in 30 minutes late!"

Elspeth smiled, seemingly unaffected. Even though she was feeling disgusted, she still pretended to be fine.

She didn't mind it at all as she took a seat in the chair at the side.

"How can you say that, Mr. Hopper? When I sent the invitation, you finally agreed after delaying for three days,

didn't you? I was only half an hour late, so in comparison to you, I'm quite punctual."

Elspeth wanted to mock him by mentioning his late reply. Just as expected, his expression immediately turned sour,

and his huge face was distorted into a terrible sight.

"Miss Lynwood, this isn't something you should say as a contracting party who took the initiative to invite me."

Elspeth was surprised. "Contracting party? Mr. Hopper, I didn't know you were still aware of our contract."

"What are you trying to say? If this conversation is going nowhere, I'm leaving." He stood up in a huff and got ready

to leave.

"Mr. Hopper, calm down. It's not the end yet."

Elspeth took out the contract from her bag and tossed it on the table.

"Mr. Hopper, are you saying that you want to terminate the contract?"

"Of course." Jericho Hopper glanced nonchalantly at the contract on the table. "I found that Azure's suggestions do

not match Hopper Corp.'s development, and after serious consideration with the board of directors, we decided to

give up on partnering with Azure."

Elspeth covered her mouth and chuckled. "Was it really serious consideration with the board of directors, or was it

just your own opinion?"

When Elspeth said that, Jericho's heartbeat hastened.

"What do you mean by this, Miss Lynwood? I did nothing to you, so why would you slander me like this?"

"What are you afraid of, Mr. Hopper? You don't have to feel guilty if you didn't do anything."

"I've always been blameless, and I have no idea what you're talking about." Jericho tugged at his tie, pretending to

look like a saint.

"Mr. Hopper, if you still refuse to come clean, I might have to expose you myself."

Jericho turned around and sneered at her. "Miss Lynwood, you should have evidence before you try to slander

anyone. Where is the evidence, then? You'rejust trying to lure me into saying something you're waiting for. I said I

did nothing, and that's final. I won't fall for your traps."

"Of course, I have evidence." Elspeth clicked her tongue and produced another document from her bag. "If you

claim you didn't do anything, then that's the most blatant lie I've ever heard."

When Jericho saw the familiar cover, a bad feeling invaded his heart. After a closer inspection, panic instantly

colored his face.

How did Elspeth get her hands on this?!
