Chapter 431 Time is Running Out

The wedding announcement between Callum, the CEO of Winthrop Group in Damoria, and Jasmine McGrath, the heiress of the McGrath Family, caused quite a stir. Within a day, everyone knew about it, with some envying her for marrying such a great catch. In contrast, others felt sorry for him, as his ex-fiancée Elspeth was far superior to Jasmine regarding family background, appearance, and personality.

On the other hand, Jasmine was naturally uncomfortable hearing those rumors, especially when people tried to defame her despite her already being his lawful wife. Hence, she was determined to drive Elspeth abroad when Elspeth came out, but in the meantime, she tried to spread the news of how good Callum was to her online. However, the photos were too amateurish, and people weren't buying them. Some even claimed that he seemed stiff and insincere toward her. As a result, it infuriated her, and she broke a few glasses in her wrath.

Meanwhile, Elspeth was cut off from the outside world at the McGrath Residence, except for a call to Yelena to let her know she was safe.

At the same time, Yelena had been feeling down, but when she heard her phone ring, she perked up. Then, upon noticing the name "Elspeth" on the screen, she scrambled to pick up her phone.

"Yellie, I—"

"You scared me! I thought something had happened to you! I've been trying to reach you, but your phone's been off!" Yelena sobbed, feeling relieved to hear her voice.

Still, Elspeth couldn't help but smile, "Did you really think I was dead? I only disappeared for a day."

"I knew Jasmine took you away, but when I confronted her, she denied everything. And Callum... You shouldn't like him anymore. He's a complete jerk! He defended her and drove us out—"
