Chapter 517 The Word Got Out

The word got out that quickly, huh? Arthur has only just recovered from his injuries and he's already sticking his nose into things.

Elspeth let out a long exhale. Thank goodness I came over just in time, or else, Arthur would've gotten to Edmund first.

"Should I answer?"

Edmund looked up and waved his phone at Elspeth.

She nodded. "Go ahead. Let's see what he's up to."

With her assent, Edmund answered the call. "Hello? What do you want?"

"I heard that you and Callum had a falling out."

Arthur's probing voice rang out.

"Nope. Didn't happen. Where did you hear that?" Edmund put the call on speakerphone to let Elspeth listen in on the conversation.

"Now that things have come to this, you needn't bother hiding it from me. If you're willing to join me now, I'll make sure it'll be worth your while."

Arthur chuckled lightly in full confidence.

Edmund pretended to scratch his head in frustration before responding impatiently, "I told you. I didn't have a falling out with him. I don't know whom you heard that from. Go and get them to join you instead."

He hung up on Arthur.

Elspeth gave him an approving look. "Not bad. I didn't expect you to be this good at it."

Arthur's probably incredibly frustrated right now. His news was accurate, but he still got rejected anyway.

"In the first place, I wouldn't sink to that level and join him, so I was just telling the truth." Edmund waved his phone. "You can relax now, right? I won't join him in his dirty deeds."

"Yes, I'm totally relaxed now. I guess the trip was worth it after all."
