Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 275

How much did Elspeth give you? I’ll give you double!”Seeing that Arthur still didn’t get the memo, the man slapped him. “How many times have I told you?! Unless you’re also one of the leaders of Evil Wind Sect, we are only loyal to her!”“E-Evil Wind Sect?” Arthur had heard of this group, but he never thought that she was involved in it.“That’s enough. You’re too talkative—even more than Miss Elspeth.” That man dug his ears annoyingly as he got ready to tie Arthur up.Suddenly, a few shadows appeared out of nowhere with better skills than them.The man was alarmed, and he asked his people to be cautious while guarding Arthur since he was the hostage.However, it seemed that those people weren’t there to fight; they were there to take Arthur away, and their gazes landed on the man being held captive.Everyone was on high alert at the sudden appearance of the fourth group of people.The people who showed up did not stall. They hurled a smoke bomb and fogged the area.When the rest managed to open their eyes, the people were gone along with Arthur.“Quick! Report to Miss Elspeth!”“She’s at the engagement party, though.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter could be heard from the door before she said anything. It sounded like ​​Eric’s voice.She turned her head around and saw him standing at the door. He was late, but Elspeth frowned at the person who was with him.Emma?It seemed that Emma was also unhappy with the situation. Eric had told her that he would bring her to an event to help her reappear before the public’s eyes. In the end, it turned out to be Elspeth’s engagement party.If she had known earlier, she would have dressed up more to take Elspeth’s limelight and relieve her anger!“I don’t suppose I’m late, am I?” Eric placed his present aside while speaking gently.“Of course not. If you were any later, you would be joining the baby shower.”Eric raised a brow at that. That was quite typical of Elspeth.“Anyway, it’s good that you’re here, but why did you bring an outsider with you?” Elspeth tilted her chin up with a playful smile. “I don’t remember inviting Miss Walker, though?”Emma never expected Elspeth to disrespect her like that, especially in front of everyone else.“What do you mean? You should be honored that I’m here!” Emma was afraid of garnering too much attention and lowered her voice despite being proud.“Honor? Emma, you
