Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 577

Chapter 577 Remaining Calm

"Can you tell me more about this place?"

Elspeth looked around. She kept getting the feeling that there was something fishy about this fairly small room.

"This room is filled with cameras pointing at every angle. Old Mr. McGrath had the security cameras installed to keep track of everyone and make sure no one escapes."

"What else?"

"There's a signal jammer installed in this room as well. Nothing can be sent out."

Elspeth frowned. "That's why he didn't even search me."

"Why would he need to? All he has to do is toss you into this room and drug you. You'll be nothing more than a sitting duck."

Winter found Elspeth pitiful. "How did they manage to kidnap you and throw you in here?"

Elspeth pursed her lips. "He said I'm an exceptional drug tester. Plus, I have beef with him."

"How did you manage to have beef with a recluse like him?" Winter began to get more talkative after getting to know Elspeth better.

"He's no recluse. He's just someone who'd do anything for the sake of his granddaughter."

The two of them carried on talking.

"My family knows that I'm here to study. Also, for the past two years, Old Mr. McGrath has been sending letters to my family that were written in my handwriting, so they don't suspect anything yet."

Winter felt rather helpless.

She could only chalk it down to the fact that she was an unfavored daughter. Her family wouldn't have thrown her abroad if that hadn't been the case. She knew that the Rovers would have stirred up a frenzy if her younger brother had been the one who went missing.

"But, in your case, if you disappear for long, I think plenty of people would come looking for you."

Elspeth nodded. "I managed to send out a text before I was brought to this inner room."

Harper should be trying to find a way to enter McGrath Residence right now.

"You're so smart." Winter gave Elspeth a look of approval. "If only I were as smart as you. I wouldn't have been locked up in here for so long."

It had been two years since she last stepped foot into the outside world. She didn't know what it was like anymore.

Elspeth gave her a warm smile.

"Don't worry. If I manage to leave, I'll take you with me."

Winter's eyes lit up with a trace of hope.

"Really? Do you mean I can leave too?"

"Not just you." Elspeth looked around at the group of people lying on the floor. Her eyes darkened. "I'll find a way to take everyone out of here."
…

Welson waited by the entrance for ages without seeing anyone coming back out, so he was certain that something must've happened.

What if something happened to both of them while they were inside? All our efforts would've been wasted.

He glanced at his butler who got the hint and immediately led a group of people to make a commotion outside the car.

They'd been shouting for quite some time before someone finally came to open the door.

Once the door opened, Welson get out of the car.

"It's getting late, and my master says he doesn't wish to see anyone today."

Welson sneered and domineeringly declared, "Tell him that he better come out and see me if he doesn't want the McGraths to go bankrupt by tomorrow."

The man eyed Welson and commented indifferently, "And, who are you? How dare you spout such nonsense with such arrogance?"

expression soured the moment he heard the name. Everyone recognized that name. Although Welson's business wasn't based in Damoria, he wielded so much influence that even the most powerful companies in Damoria had to


"Please wait a moment while I inform my master."

The man flew back into the house before trudging back out a few moments later.

"Please come with me, Mr. Harley."

Welson glanced at the man before striding in with all his men.

In the living room, Bobby was smiling cheerfully to greet Welson. He didn't expect Welson to come over in person.

"What brings you here?"

Welson was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with Bobby. He got straight to the point. "Where's Helia?"

Bobby's expression became a little unpleasant. "Helia? Who's that?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Mr. McGrath."

As a fellow sly fox, Welson knew full well what Bobby was trying to do.

"I'm not. I truly don't know whom you're talking about." Bobby smiled patiently and inquired, "Whom are you talking about? I'm more than happy to help you find that person if I can."

Welson cocked his eyebrows and calmly agreed. "Sure. Let's start with a search of McGrath Residence then."

Bobby grew nervous. He knew that Welson had to have solid evidence for him to come knocking on their door in person.

Even if he didn't have solid proof, he had to be convinced.
