Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 265

all, he had told Jaxon to watch her swallow the food. Moreover, his drugs were the real deal. Thus, he couldn’t understand why this was happening.“Of course, I’m still awake. I’ll be long dead if I’m not cautious around people like you. Moreover, how could I overlook the hatred in your eyes when it was blatantly obvious?”Fortunately, Elspeth had not swallowed the food since she had taken precautions. Instead, she hid it in her mouth, lay her head between her arms, and immediately spat under the table when the duo was talking. Since no one had noticed her, Toby didn’t catch it either.“Although I have underestimated you, it doesn’t matter. This is my base camp. I can do whatever I want.” Since Jaxon was still outside, Toby felt he had a higher chance of subduing her.“Why don’t you try and see?” Elspeth was not afraid of him. After all, she had a tracking GPS on her. If she were to stay in here for too long, the shadow guards would come in and look for her. At that moment, she wouldn’t be afraid if Jaxon called his men to assist, for she would be the final winner.“Hah! Since you are so confident in yourself, I will not hesitate anymore!” Toby, who was still smiling, immediately turned cold and struck her.Is he going to slap me? Elspeth thought as she avoided his attack. Then, she grabbed his wrist and forcefully pushed him away. Toby used much of his strength to stop himself from falling, but he smiled all of a sudden.It worked.Before Elspeth was able to breathe a sigh of relief, she felt her body weakening, and she couldn’t muster up any strength.“What have you drugged me again with?”“Since you don’t know about it, you’ll take these secrets to the grave.” Toby smiled coldly.She is too dangerous. Initially, I was going to have some fun with her, but I think it’s best if I kill her now. As he thought about it, he took out a knife and slowly walked toward her.Suddenly, a stir sounded outside. Toby was unhappy that someone had ruined his mood. Then, he glanced at the door and decided to end things quickly. At that moment, the wooden door seemed to have been kicked by someone as it shook violently.In that split second, Toby decided not to kill her as he placed the knife against her face. “It seems that someone’s here for you, Elspeth. Why don’t we guess who it is? Is it your husband? Say, won’t it be fun if I slit your throat right in front of him? I wonder if he will still love you after your face is ruined.”Elspeth glared at him and said, “Just do whatever you want, you coward. You are disgusting.”The smile on Toby’s face vanished when he heard her words. “Fine, then. Since you are ungrateful, I might as well kill you as you wish!” Then, he raised the knife and aimed it at her shoulder.Bang! At this moment, the door burst open, and the sudden light blinded Toby, making him miss as he stabbed the chair. Just as he was about to take it out, Callum entered the place. Then, he grabbed a plate from the table and crashed it against Toby’s head.The plate hit Toby’s eyes, and he screamed in agony as he threw away the knife.On the other hand, Callum helped Elspeth get up and sat her by the chair. However, he was rough with her, seemingly as if he was getting revenge.As Elspeth thought about it, she instantly knew why he was angry. I’m just eating with someone. How petty of him!Instead of leaving with her, he picked up the knife and slowly approached Toby, who was still moaning in pain.“Were you trying to kill Elspeth?” As he spoke, he was playing with the knife. The knife shimmered coldly as he fiddled with it.No matter how confident Toby was before, he couldn’t utter a word at this moment. It felt like a cat had gotten his
