Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 99

“The president of Alphascape Group gave me a call out of the blue the other day, claiming that he wants to discuss a collaboration with me. Knowing that we’d always been at odds with them, I didn’t agree to meet him, but the company vice president kept inviting me, so I reluctantly agreed. After that, I went to check out that land, and he said that they didn’t have much time to deal with it. On the other hand, we happen to be well- funded, so they wanted to sell it to us. I didn’t think that the land would turn out to be like this. I swear, it really didn’t hit me that he would scam me so blatantly..”

Elspeth could sense his remorse and said, “Alright, I get the idea.” Massaging the center of her forehead, she thought, Edmund had let his guard down. “I’ll contact Alphascape Group in a few days and make them take back this land by hook or by crook.”

Her words made Edmund’s heart stir. It suddenly struck him that even though he was the vice president of Winthrop Group, he didn’t even have the guts and courage that she had, and he felt ashamed of himself.

All of a sudden, she recalled that she was out to make coffee for Callum and realized that she had been away for too long after checking the time. So, she hurried back.

“What happened? It took you thirty minutes just to make a coffee?” Callum said with a frown, staring at her.

Elspeth cleared her throat awkwardly. “Nothing happened. I just got carried away, so I took a little more time.”

“That’s right. There’s something I want to discuss with you.” Then, he placed the form on the table in front of her. “I just found out that Edmund signed an agreement with Alphascape while I was away, and we made a loss

of 7.5 million.”

“Maybe he let his guard down. Just guide him properly.”

As Callum didn’t think that she would speak up for Edmund, he couldn’t help but snap. “What? Are you
