Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 275

“Be more prepared the next time you’re trying to catch someone, Arthur. It must feel terrible to have this backfire on you.”Arthur’s heart dropped. He was done for this time.“Let the boys play, Callum. We should head back to the engagement party.” Elspeth didn’t want to waste time there since they had the upper hand with the number of men they had, especially since her men were top-notch experts who had gone through vigorous training. As such, Arthur’s men probably wouldn’t last long.Callum nodded and ordered his men, “I want him alive. The rest don’t matter.”The strength they used would decide if the men would live or die.Arthur panicked after Callum and Elspeth left. There were too many of them, and he was going to die there.As he was thinking, both parties started fighting. He ran to the side and attempted to get away amidst the chaos.In the next second, Elspeth’s men noticed him and grabbed his collar.“Let me go! I’ll give you the money.

They hurled a smoke bomb and fogged the area.When the rest managed to open their eyes, the people were gone along with Arthur.“Quick! Report to Miss Elspeth!”“She’s at the engagement party, though. We shouldn’t disturb her, right?”“Go after them, then. One of you will stay back and inform her when the engagement party is over.”…When Elspeth and Callum returned, the chaotic hall suddenly became quiet.Some of them were disappointed as they thought things would go south. They put on gloomy faces when they saw that Elspeth and Callum’s expressions were normal as if
