Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 212

shameless enough to post about it!’‘The Carr Family aren’t just anybody. They’re wealthy and powerful, and they’ve never had any scandals. Mr. Carr and Miss Lynwood really are a match made in heaven…’The netizens’ opinions were mixed, but most of them praised Elspeth’s engagement with Jordan and despised Emma and Callum’s actions.Meanwhile, in Waterside, Emma was nearly driving herself up the wall. She had never expected that her hasty announcement of her relationship with Callum would spark such a massive bashing.“Callum, Elspeth is being too much. She’d gotten engaged too, but she still pulled something like this to ruin our reputation!”Because of this issue, she lost millions of fans; nearly one-tenth of her followers unfollowed her.Callum looked at her coldly. The sharp decline in the Winthrop Family’s stock market was already enough of a headache for him, but Emma just wouldn’t stay silent. Upon receiving such an icy stare, Emma immediately stopped her chattering mouth. She stared blankly at Callum and swallowed. “Callum, I…”“If it weren’t for you announcing things in a hurry, why would your fans hate on you?” He rose to his feet, his demeanor turning cold as he said, “I already told you not to provoke Elspeth anymore or we’ll immediately break up.”Emma feared that Callum would break up with her the most, and she shuddered at his words. “I understand, Callum. I won’t mess around anymore.”After seeing Callum’s irritated expression, Emma decided against lingering around any further and immediately returned to her hotel, where she made a call in her room.“Old Mr. Joneson, you’re too much. I helped you break Callum and Elspeth up, but you stabbed me in the back!”At her words, Michael scoffed. “Isn’t this your own doing? Emma, had you behaved a little, you wouldn’t have been scorned.”“You know best whom I’m doing this for! Surely you don’t want Elspeth to find out that her breakup was something that had been planned a long time ago, right?”Michael inhaled deeply and conceded, “Enough, don’t threaten me. I’ll help you settle things, but if you cause any more fuss, don’t blame me for not holding back.”Emma gave him a pandering laugh. “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you anymore.”Michael hung up mercilessly.…On the other hand, in Blaydal, Frank still had not been discharged from the hospital even after a month since Elspeth’s departure. This was because Michael was afraid that he’d mess around before he fully recovered, thus forcibly locked him up in the hospital for another two weeks.When Elspeth went to visit him in the hospital, Frank was still being forced to take his supplements. Upon noticing her arrival, he instantly pounced on her and yelped, “Elspeth, hurry up and tell Grandpa that I got better a long time ago and that I can get out of bed and play now!”Truthfully, as Elspeth looked at his pitiful expression, she had to stifle her laughter.“Okay, I got it. I’ll deal with it for you, but before that, you have to wait here obediently.”Frank’s excited expression immediately disappeared and he sat in a corner, sulking.A long pause later, upon seeing that Elspeth was not intending to comfort him at all, he immediately deflated. “Okay. Let me ask you something now. Why did you break up with Callum?”Elspeth knocked his head. “Didn’t you read the news?”Frank huffed. “Why would Callum suddenly move on to someone else when he likes you so much? I think there must be a misunderstanding somewhere.”“That’s what I used to think as well.” Elspeth’s eyes darkened as she spoke. “But I’ve asked him and sought confirmation many times, and I know that’s not the case. He really couldn’t forget about Emma.”Thinking that he had stepped on her weak point, Frank became frantic.“Okay, it’s fine. Jordan is genuinely a good man too. Besides being obsessed with work, everything else about him is quite all right.”Besides being obsessed with work… Elspeth curled her lips at the thought. What a good hobby to have if you ask me.“It’s true. You might not believe this, but Jordan has successfully sat in his office for 32 hours straight without moving before. He nearly turned into a wooden statue then.”Elspeth was reminded of Callum, who was a workaholic as well. It was currently three in the afternoon, and according to his habits, he must be having a meeting. He
