Chapter 508 Murder Most Foul
"You're still acting tough, huh? I'd like to see how long you can hold it up." Jasmine's chest was heaving. She was
livid.
"You'll see if it's an act soon enough." Callum's eyes glinted with murder.
"In any case, you guys are locked. Let's see how you escape." She crossed her arms and chuckled.
"Too early to celebrate, Jasmine."
Callum's threat managed to scare Jasmine for a moment, but it lost its effect after a while. "I used to like you, but
now, I'm disappointed. Since you want to be with her, you guys will suffer as I did."
She cackled like a mad witch finally succeeding in her devious spellcasting. Just then, thunder roared. Jasmine
looked at the ominous sky and frowned slightly. "It's going to rain soon. Time for me to go, then. Have fun, you two."
With that, she got into her car and drove off.
The couple exchanged a look, both having their own ideas to escape.
Elspeth tugged on Callum's sleeve as she asked, "So, what's your plan?"
"Don't worry. We'll be fine." Callum patted her head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust when he was about to say something, the woman rolled her eyes. "I'm not worried. Just want to know if you
have a plan. If your plan's too convoluted, we'll go with mine instead."
"I've sent them a signal. They should arrive soon." His underlings should have gotten the signal for help.
So, we have to wait, huh? Elspeth clicked her tongue impatiently.
Callum was amused by her actions. "So, what's your plan?" Is she going to smash the door with her head?
The thought alone made him smile. Elspeth noticed that, and she knew Callum must be thinking of something
stupid.
"Alright, out of my way." She tugged on the lock and picked up a stretch of thin steel thread. She was going to pick
the lock.
"You can pick locks?" Callum was surprised, but he let Elspeth do her magic. This wasn't the first time she surprised
him. In retrospect, it wasn't surprising that she had another skill.
"I know a lot more than I let on." She looked at him smugly and moved her hands around. Before long, the rusty
lock opened up. "I could've picked it faster, but it's rusty."
A hint of delight flared in the man's eyes. "You're awesome."
"Naturally. Alright, it's going to rain soon. We should go back." Just when they were about to leave, a car charged
straight out of nowhere and came right at them.
They knew something was wrong. Callum shouted, "Split up!"
They ran in opposite directions, and the car made a quick turn. It went after Elspeth. Despite her best efforts, the
car easily caught up to her and got in her way. She stopped, breathing heavily as she looked at the car.
A suited man got out of the car, and a man in black got out of the passenger seat, holding up an umbrella for the
man. "It's been a while, Elspeth." Arthur smiled gently. Noticing Elspeth getting drenched, he cocked his eyebrow.
"You shouldn't let the lady get drenched. Get a set of clothes for her to change."
"Cut the crap, Arthur. What the hell do you want?"
"What else?" Upset by the quality of this conversation, he stepped forth in an attempt to get closer to her. The
woman quickly took a step back. "Aww, don't back off. I'm not a monster. Not like I'm going to eat you." He smirked.
"Besides, I like you. I won't hurt you."
How on earth can he be so f*cking clingy? "Can you stop coming after me? You disgust me."
"I'm disgusting? All I want is to get along with the woman I like." Arthur shrugged.
"Shut it. What do you want?" He's not a bearer of good news. And he almost killed us. Oh, no. "You're going to kill
us, aren't you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShocked, he said, "Oh, no. I love you too much for that. Even if I want to kill someone, it'd be Callum."
"But you came after me. You can't catch up to him now."
Arthur exchanged a smile with the man in black before turning his attention back to Elspeth. "Do you think I'd be
that stupid?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, I'm not the only pursuer tonight. Someone else went after him."
Oh, no. He's in danger. Elspeth roared, "He's your brother!"
"Oh, please. He doesn't see me as his brother, and it's been that way for a long time. Don't try to use that nonsense
to persuade me out of it. It's too late for that."
She sighed and asked, "What's the condition? What do I have to do to save him?"
"No negotiations. I must kill him, or you will never be with me." Arthur shook his head. Elspeth tried to strike a deal
with the same term before, but as long as Callum was alive, she would never truly be his. This time, he wouldn't fall
for the same trick again. The best way to take out his competition was to get rid of him in the wilderness.
"Murder is against the law."
Arthur's smile didn't diminish. "I know that much. But I never said I'm the one who killed him."
Elspeth sneered. "But your men are acting on your orders."
"And why do you think I would be blamed for the murder?"
