Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 204

twisting the truth.”Callum’s sharp gaze flicked over to the director.Seeing this, the director immediately shrunk backward. “I didn’t mean that. I was just thinking it would be a pity for Elspeth if she didn’t become an actress with her skills, so I wasn’t thinking about what I was saying.”“I invested three hundred million for Emma to film in peace. Now that you’re planning on letting Elspeth take her place, I assume that you’re giving up on the money, are you?”Callum’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried weight. However, upon hearing this, Elspeth felt her heart sink.“What is up with you, Callum Winthrop? How can you pick on your current girlfriend by defending your ex? You’re such a b*stard!”Even when he was faced with Yelena’s accusation, Callum did not falter. “Was what I said wrong?”By definition, Callum was only preserving his personal interests. He invested the money because of Emma, and if she was unable to take part in the filming, it would be a loss for him.Elspeth understood this, but she was getting even more confused now. She failed to understand the reason why Callum treated Emma so well, to the extent of deliberately ignoring her for Emma’s sake. Was it really as Emma had said—he had never been able to forget her? And now that Emma reappeared by his side, he was trying to get rid of her by giving her the cold shoulder? Elspeth lifted her head and looked into Callum’s eyes. In his gaze, there was no trace of warmth, only an icy cold. Even so, there was an instant when an inexplicable emotion flashed past his eyes, but it went as quickly as it came, and Elspeth nearly thought that she had been mistaken.“Let’s go, Yelena.”Elspeth was still unwilling to believe it. Either way, she had already taught Emma a lesson, so she considered it her victory. She then turned around and left.After shooting a glare at Callum, Yelena followed suit.Behind them, the director desperately apologized to his benefactors, nearly going down on his knees and kowtowing to beg for their forgiveness.Emma scoffed. “Okay, okay. On behalf of your sincerity, I guess I’ll continue filming.”At this, the director finally smiled. “Yes, thank you, Miss Walker!”Callum ignored what was happening near him. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Elspeth’s decisively retreating back, his thoughts complicated.“What are you thinking, Callum? It can’t be about Elspeth, right?” Emma asked pretentiously, putting on a caring act. “Look, she doesn’t even care about you anymore. Why don’t you just break up with her already? It’ll be relieving for her too.”Callum didn’t even spare her a single glance. “It has nothing to do with you.”In fact, Emma had everything to do with it. She had been waiting all this time to claim the title of Mrs. Winthrop for herself. Still, even though she was angry, Callum had been fulfilling her every wish recently, making her feel as if she were on cloud nine.“Callum, you should go back to the hotel. I have to continue filming, so I can’t stay with you.”Callum hummed indifferently in response.After he left, Emma watched his retreating figure with a triumphant smile. Callum will definitely belong to me!Meanwhile, Elspeth and Yelena returned to their filming site, where Aiden had been waiting for Yelena to resume filming. After Yelena was called away to shoot a scene with Blake, Elspeth sat alone in her seat, spacing out.As their manager, Timothy had been silently standing by their side. Upon seeing that Elspeth was distracted, he asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you’re in a bad mood.”Elspeth shook her head with a bitter smile. “Not at all.”“Clearly not, I can tell.” Timothy said knowingly, “I’ve been your age before, so I understand. You’re having relationship problems, aren’t you?”She rolled her eyes. “It’s all over the news for everyone to see, all right?”Now, Callum and Emma were constantly together, and Emma was a public figure, so nothing could remain hidden. Everyone assumed that Callum and Elspeth’s breakup was just short of an official announcement, and they might have already cut ties in private.Timothy laughed awkwardly. “I’m just comforting you. Let me tell you, there are plenty more fish in the sea. Besides, you have amazing conditions, and it’s not like men who are better than Callum don’t exist. You don’t have to waste your tears over a jerk.”Of course, Elspeth knew that as well, but she was still hell-bent on her instincts and needed Callum to give her an explanation.“Okay now. Go and read some books, listen to some songs, and go for a walk. You’ll eventually let him go.”He could only comfort her this much;
