Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 179

and agreed. He knew that Frank only suggested this to cheer him up. “Yes!”Meanwhile, Callum followed Elspeth out of the hospital ward. As soon as he got into the car, his expression became stony. He was not willing to say another word to her.“Why are you mad?”Elspeth could not understand the reason for his sudden tantrum. He had been acting weird ever since they entered into a relationship together. His moods would always fluctuate greatly, constantly leaving her in confusion.“He likes you.”The expression on her face seemed to say, ‘You have to be kidding me’, and the corners of her lips twitched in amusement. “Callum, have you been bewitched? He is my brother, who is related to me by blood.”Callum pursed his lips. “I was talking about the other one.”“In that case, it’s even more impossible. He has a childhood sweetheart. He will never have feelings for me.”He studied her indifferent attitude and scowled angrily. “My intuition is never wrong.”His eyes had practically turned bloodshot when we were together. Not even a ghost would believe that if he claimed he did not have feelings for her.“Okay. Fine. Even if he does have feelings for me… Of course, that situation will never happen. In any case, the two of us can’t be in a relationship.” She really wanted to pry open his head to see what was rolling around in his brain. “We’ve been together for a year now, Callum. You should believe in my feelings for you.” Finally, she inhaled deeply before she continued seriously, “Also, please believe that I love you.”They were standing very close to each other. Callum stared at Elspeth’s face and pondered for a long time before he finally spoke up slowly, “Your concealer is too thick.”A long silence stretched out between them.She was so furious that she huffed, “Don’t make me slap you when I’m trying to flirt with you.”He nodded and stopped teasing her. “Then, shall we head out to investigate Alphascape’s tax evasion issue?”“Of course. I’ve already asked Harper to contact his friend in the tax bureau to check Alphascape’s financial accounts. As long as we can find Alphascape’s real financial statements, then we will have enough evidence to prove that Alphascape has been evading their taxes.”The plan was simplistic in nature, but it was challenging for them to actually get their hands on Alphascape’s financial statements.“Alphascape is an old stick-in-the-mud. There are ninety-nine protection barriers around their financial information. I can’t even break into their internal system.”There were too many layers of firewalls around their system. Even if she were an excellent hacker, it would take a long time for her to break those codes.He rubbed his chin and mused, “That leaves only one solution.”The two exchanged a look and instantly understood each other’s intentions.Several minutes later, Callum’s car parked under the building of the Alphascape Group.“We have two choices. Our first choice is to sneak into Alphascape’s financial department and search for their accounts. But that is too risky.” Elspeth considered their options and suggested, “The other choice is to meet with Alphascape’s financial director. I’m certain he is involved in the fraudulent accounting.”Callum turned on his laptop and pulled up the personal information on Alphascape’s financial director.“Zain Black. A thirty-eight-year-old man with two children, a boy and a girl. He likes gambling and drinking. His wife is domineering, so he keeps two mistresses on the side.”After she heard the brief introduction, she blinked her eyes in shock. “Two mistresses? That’s too…”“These are just the official data statistics. He likely has even messier relations other than these two.”She breathed a curse under her breath that sounded something like ‘Scumbag’ and began looking into his personal information. When she saw his bald head, she couldn’t hold back a sense of disgust. “Such a man would never even find himself a wife if he didn’t have some money.”He couldn’t help laughing when he saw the expression of righteous indignation. “What are you planning to do? Do you have a plan?”She smiled. “I’ll prepare for… a seduction plan.”As soon as he heard that she planned to use herself as bait, his expression immediately turned frigid. “No. There’s no way I will allow it.”If that sleazy old man tried to do something to Elspeth, then I won’t be able to stop myself from chopping off his arms.“Then, tell me. Do you have any better ideas?”“Find his weakness, threaten him, and force him to hand over the financial statements.”That was indeed his usual method.Nevertheless, she noticed something deeper happening beneath the surface. “First of all, everything he has done so far is still within the confines of the law. There is nothing we can use to blackmail him. As long as he refuses to admit his wrongdoings, you will never find anything to threaten him.”He coldly said, “If he doesn’t admit his wrongdoings, then he can die.”“We won’t be able to find
