Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 471 Strengthen Our Alliance

“You must be pretty surprised now, Mr. Hopper. I guess you’re wondering how I got my hands on something like this, right?” Elspeth raised her hand with the contract in it, flashing it right in front of Jericho’s panicky face while taunting him. “Why do you look so scared? I won’t bite.”

“Why don’t you tell me how you got this contract first?” However, Jericho quickly realized the way he put his words might have accidentally given himself away, so he immediately rephrased his sentence. “I don’t know where you got that thing, but I’m sure it’s fake. So, stop framing me with whatever is in your hand.”

“Fake?” Elspeth clicked her tongue, finding it hard to believe Jericho would deny her accusation so shamelessly. “You could take a look at it for yourself if you think it’s fake.”

Upon hearing that, Jericho skeptically flipped through the contract just as his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. After all, he saw his own signature on the contract, his name clearly written on the paper, although the document he was looking at was just a photocopy. “This signature isn’t mine.” At that moment, Jericho decided to play dumb and denied everything he was accused of, thinking Elspeth would have no way to force him into submission by doing that.

The time and date on which we signed the contract were written on the document. If Elspeth uses that to testify against me, I’m going to be in huge trouble, which

Who knows this document is fake?” The man stammered his sentence and tried to continue playing dumb, thinking there was nothing else Elspeth could do to make him admit his mistake. At the same time, his eyes were filled with guilt and fear as he was betting on the odds that Elspeth wasn’t familiar with the law. Calm down!

However, Hank was kind enough to go the extra mile for Elspeth and helped her obtain a photocopy of the signed contract between Arthur and Jericho. It wasn’t until later that Elspeth learned that Hank had friends in the legal department of Arthur’s company. For that, she found it ironic
