Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 64 Protecting Her

Seeing Callum act like this made Elspeth lose interest in the matter. “You sure are a gentleman, Mr. Winthrop.”

Hearing her words, he turned stern. “Ophelia’s family has run into some problems lately, so three million is a lil’ tricky for her. I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Naturally, Elspeth was aware of this, which was why she did it on purpose just to make things hard on her. Yet, she did not want to keep up this farce upon seeing how protective he was toward her. “It’s fine. You can keep it, Mr. Winthrop.”

After all, what she wanted was not money.

The scene before her made her feel like she was an outsider. She paused for a while before exiting the ward. The fact that Callum and Ophelia were no longer in sight eased her instantly.

As Elspeth headed to the garden to cool off, she saw a bunch of people surrounding a girl, about to do something to her.

“What are you doing?” Elspeth stepped forward and grabbed onto the lecher’s hand that was about to touch the girl before flinging it aside. Subsequently, she stood in front of the girl with a cold expression.

That man’s arm was almost dislocated from the force. Yet, just as he was about to fly into a rage, he suddenly saw the woman standing before him was much more beautiful than the girl, so he decided to put on a facade.

“Miss, I didn’t do anything bad. It’s this girl that stole my money. All I want is to get my money back. I don’t have any other ulterior motives…” Although the man explained with a smile, his gaze maintained on her body.

“Stole your money?” Elspeth turned around and looked at the girl behind her with questioning eyes.

Glancing at her, the girl replied timidly, “I didn’t steal his money! This is my money! I didn’t steal it from anyone!”

“What a load of bull! Everyone here saw it. You sneakily reached out and stole the ten thousand I prepared!”

Frightened, the girl shivered. “I didn’t! This is my money, you liar!”
