Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 546

CHAPTER 546 WINTHROP GROUP AT STAKE

As expected, a news article from the Sun Gazette took the internet by storm at 5.00AM the next day.

The news described the Winthrop Family so differently than what was known to the public that everyone felt they were lied to.

'What? They're getting a divorce?'

'Not just a simple divorce. They're going to court!'

'I heard Callum wanted Elspeth to return the shares Mr. Winthrop gave her. Is he still a man?'

'What? Callum isn't wrong. Elspeth was the one who cheated.'

'Whoever marries Callum has bad luck. Look at that personality of his. Since she cheated, it just means that she couldn't take his s*itty attitude anymore.'

'Are you crazy? How could you justify her cheating just like that?'

'When are they going to divorce? Will there be a banquet?'

…

On the other hand, far away in the Bluestone Corp, Arthur had a satisfied grin when he read the news.

When he swiveled his chair around, he saw a fidgeting Tomas sitting on the couch, so he graced the poor man with a gentle smile. "Are you sure that you heard her say that she likes someone else?"

Even though he was happy that she didn't like Callum anymore, he couldn't let go of the fact that she had fallen in love with someone else.

"Yes. She told me that herself. But I feel like she was lying to me."

Yes. That. Arthur finally felt relieved and relaxed a little.

"Good job. I'll transfer the money as promised."

Tomas smiled, and a hint of pride filled his handsome face. "I actually didn't do a lot. I was lucky that Elspeth took notice of me and told me everything."

The smile on Arthur's face froze slightly. "You say she took notice of you?"

Tomas had not realized he had said the wrong thing and continued on, utterly oblivious, "Yes. It feels like she was pretty interested in me. She was even speaking sweetly to me. But I held my ground and only asked her questions."

The first time Tomas saw Elspeth, he was instantly enamored.

She was alluring yet enchanting. Of course, it definitely helped that she was gorgeous. His eyes couldn't help but widen when he saw her slender, fair legs underneath the nightgown.

More importantly, he noticed how she would glance at him here and there in secret. Didn't this mean that she was interested in him?

By now, Arthur's smile had become dangerous. Tomas was too confident for his own good and naive to boot.

"Then, I should reward you. You've done more than I asked for."

However, Tomas shook his head, a little embarrassed. "It's alright. It's nothing. I just did what I should. I—"

Before he finished his sentence, a punch suddenly landed on his face, and he fell back onto the couch.

Arthur massaged his stinging knuckles and scoffed, "Who do you think you are? Do you really think she will like you?"

Although Tomas was infuriated by that blow, he still suppressed his anger as he thought about how powerful Arthur was.

"I didn't mean that. I meant to say that she trusts me."

Arthur smirked, "You still want to continue?"

Tomas was frozen stiff from the dangerous glint in his eyes and shook his head furiously.

"No. No. I didn't mean that. She doesn't trust me…" Tomas struggled to find the words.

Only then did Arthur let him go. "Scram. Don't tell anyone about this and that you came here."

Tomas nearly knelt when he heard that and let out a breath of relief. "Thank you, Mr. Winthrop. I'll take my leave now."

Then, he scurried from the office.

Arthur stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the darkness in his eyes was as clear as day. No one can touch Elspeth.

…

On Friday, it was the day everyone had been waiting for. Finally, Elspeth arrived at court and was surrounded by a group of people at the entrance, practically salivating as they waited for the juicy gossip.

A few brave reporters stepped forward but were warned off by Yelena as she gritted out the words, "Drop the questions. You'll know everything once it's finalized."

Hank, who was standing by the side, also shot daggers at them with icy eyes seeing that his lover was angry. His stare was enough to frighten them away.

The reporters thought that they could get lucky like Tomas did the last time but was faced with such a different treatment. However, they couldn't complain about Yelena and Hank protecting Elspeth. In the end, no one dared to cross the line.

"Please be patient, everyone. Everything will be revealed when the court has come to a decision." Elspeth smiled knowingly at the reporters and walked inside.

After them, the next group of people to arrive was Callum.

Just as a leather shoe stepped down from the car, the reporters all swarmed forward to take a better look.

The assistant immediately called security to lead the way.
