Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 54 A Pawn

Houston?

Callum and Elspeth looked at each other and instantly understood who was behind it.

“I really didn’t expect that Houston would not give up and challenge my bottom line again and again. Does he really think I dare not lay a hand on him?” She was gnashing her teeth in hatred. If it wasn’t for Callum today, she would most likely be fighting this buff man to death.

“Erm… Can I go now?” The burly man stood up slowly, trying to escape, but Callum kicked his knee hard, sending him tumbling to the ground once more.

Callum then uttered in a calm and cold voice, “Attempted assault also warrants legal repercussions.”

“Huh!” The man cried loudly without caring about the situation. “But, I already told you about the mastermind behind it. Why can’t you let me go?!”

Elspeth shot him a threatening gaze. “If you speak one more word, it won’t be as simple as going to jail.”

The two met in the private room on the first floor of the hotel. As soon as Elspeth walked in, she noticed a familiar man opposite her.

She was shocked beyond belief, and her head whipped around to look at Callum as though she wanted to know why their business partner was Jordan.

Callum explained patiently, “Our partner is NK Group, but I just found out an hour ago that he is the president.”

The same night he set fire to Winthrop Group, someone set fire to his residence. During that time, he was sound asleep in the room, and five family members came perilously close to being killed by the flames. They were extremely fortunate to
