Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 76 Have the Drug’s Effects Worn Off

Callum’s self-harming behavior succeeded in frightening Ophelia. Little did she think he would actually knock himself unconscious just to avoid touching her.

A sense of humiliation rose from her feet; her eyes teared up with both humiliation and intense hatred. If it weren’t for Elspeth, Callum wouldn’t have treated me like this!

Seeing Callum fall soundly asleep before her, she clenched her fists tightly before coming up with a bold idea. Undressing both herself and the man, she lay down on his sturdy chest, took a picture of them with her phone, and sent it to Elspeth. Having done all of this, she carefully climbed out of bed, got dressed, and returned to her bedroom.

When Elspeth woke up early in the morning, she saw the photo, in which Callum and Ophelia looked intimate as though they’d actually slept together. Feeling a twinge in her heart, she recalled what Callum had said the evening before, and she couldn’t help curling her lips into a smirk.

However, as she took an inadvertent glance at the picture, she suddenly realized that something was amiss. Callum’s sleeping posture didn’t seem normal in the photo. Instead, it looked more like he’d been knocked out… and his cheeks were abnormally red. Don’t tell me he’s been drugged. At the thought of this, she hurriedly got dressed and went to his room.

The door to Callum’s room wasn’t locked, so she easily snuck inside.

Callum was alone in his room. Seeing him soundly asleep in bed, Elspeth was startled for a moment before coming forward to check on him. As she had expected, he’d been drugged with something that wasn’t very potent. Otherwise, he would’ve been dead after enduring the drug’s effects the entire night.

Seems like Ophelia still has a bit of a conscience. Producing a pill from her pocket, Elspeth shoved it into Callum’s mouth and forced him to swallow it.

After a long time, Callum slowly opened his eyes. At a glance, he saw Elspeth, who was standing aside and waiting quietly. “W-When did you come here?”

“Why ask so many questions? How did you get drugged?”

Callum thought back carefully on last night’s events before his eyes rested upon the empty glass of milk on his desk. “My mom came in and brought me a glass of milk last night. She’d done so before, so I drank it without suspicion.” Anger welled up in him when it occurred to him that Margot might have colluded with Ophelia in doing this.
