Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 135

At that moment, Elspeth was shocked. “Arthur? Have you asked him?”

“I just called and told him to meet up at 7.00PM, and he agreed.”

Since Elspeth didn’t know what Arthur was up to, she was nervous. “I’ll go with you. It would be

safer that way.”

“Okay.”

Then, Callum drove Elspeth to where they agreed to meet-a café near the company. Although Arthur was low profile and wore sunglasses, the duo still spotted him as soon as they entered the café. When they walked toward him, they saw that he had prepared two coffees on the table.

“What’s the matter, Callum? Is there anything you need?”

Hearing his words, Elspeth smirked coldly and said, “Don’t you think you are being hypocritical at times like this, Arthur?”

“Hypocritical? Don’t judge me. Elspeth. If I am a hypocrite, what does that make Mr. Winthrop?” As Arthur spoke, he sipped his coffee and smiled faintly.

When Callum heard his words, his eyes darkened. Then, he looked at Arthur coldly as he said. “Don’t you know what kind of a person Dad is when you have spent so much time with him,

Arthur?”

“I have never doubted him. However, everyone knows that you are his favorite, Callum. Thus, you don’t have to pretend to be the good guy here. It makes me look like I am ungrateful. Do you think this is

funny, Callum?” Arthur spat out. His usual gentle look was gone, and he was filled

with hatred.

“Do you really think Dad likes me more, Arthur?” asked Callum.

Arthur was annoyed with this subject. “What do you think? He gives you all the money, and I can’t even work in the company. How come I can’t get it when even Edmund, that stupid fellow, is allowed to?”

“You should blame yourself?”

Elspeth’s words made Arthur lose his mind. “What do you mean by that? Should I blame myself? Why should I take the blame when he is the one who favors the others?”

“If you weren’t a hypocrite and said that you wanted to save lives, Mr. Winthrop wouldn’t have encouraged you to be a doctor. If you aren’t meek, which is not suitable in a company filled with decention he wouldn’t have stonned you from working in the cam

so that he could be the perfect heir. He had worked hard to gain what he had earned. Do you know all these? No, you don’t. All you think about is that he had taken everything away from you. How arrogant of you to think this about him,” said Elspeth.

When investigating Callum and his sweetheart, she checked about his childhood. That was why she could understand Theodore’s feelings and hated Arthur’s presumption when she found out about Callum’s childhood.

“Whatever you say. It doesn’t matter anyway since I now work for the Alphascape Group. We are enemies now.” Then, Arthur stood up. “It’s getting late. Please excuse me as I have a meeting to attend.”

At this moment, Callum, who had been silent throughout the whole conversation, commented, “You are immature, Arthur.”

When Arthur heard his words, he stiffened. Then, he smiled and said, “Whatever.”

After he had left, Elspeth coaxed Callum when she saw that he was unhappy. “It’s fine.”

“I hope so too. However, with Arthur’s personality, he would surely pick a bone with the Winthrop Group. I’m afraid there will be a tough battle for the company.” Although Arthur had an extreme personality, he was gifted in business. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed the hospital in excellent condition. If he were to work for Alphascape, it would be a challenge for the Winthrop Group.

“Have you told Mrs. Winthrop about Mr. Winthrop’s illness yet?”

Callum was gloomy when he heard her words. “I didn’t have to say anything. Since Max can’t keep secrets to himself, Mom would have already known about it. Moreover, she might have met up with Arthur before.”

“Let’s go and take a look at the hospital.”

After discussing it for a moment, they decide to visit Theodore at the hospital. When they entered the ward, they saw Margot sobbing by the bed. Meanwhile, Blake and Edmund were standing beside with grim expressions.

When Margot saw Elspeth and Callum, she cried, “Why is my life so difficult, Callum?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. Just forget about him. It’s not worth it to cry over someone as worthless as him.”

“I always thought he would see me as a mother if I treated him well. For all these years, I had kept him away from knowing his identity, but he still found out in the end-” Margot wiped her tears and gave a

hiccup.

“I know. He has his pride, so he won’t be able to accept the truth any time. That was why he was blinded with hatred. However, it’s fine. I will talk to him about it.” Margot nodded.

At that moment, the others sneaked glances at each other and smiled bitterly. After all, how would Margot be able to communicate with Arthur when he blocked everyone out of his heart? However, since Margot wasn’t well, none of them said anything to her.

In the end, Margot wanted to keep Theodore company, so Edmund stayed back. Initially, Blake wanted to stay too, but Callum was done with his contract. Hence, as long as Elspeth led him to Luminous Entertainment, he would be able to debut again, then he wouldn’t have the time to take care of Theodore. To prevent anything from happening, Elspeth decided to take Blake to Luminous herself. She would be able to prevent anyone from exposing her identity.

As for Callum, he returned to the company after realizing he had some things to do.

On the way to Luminous, Elspeth couldn’t help but ask when she saw Blake in a daze. “What’s the matter with you?”

Blake took a deep breath and said, “I feel worthless. I can’t do anything straight. I mean, I needed you to get me a job.”

“What are you talking about, superstar?” Elspeth smiled and rolled her eyes at him. “I’m still waiting for you to be famous and earn millions for Luminous. Don’t you dare say anything bad about yourself?”

Listening to her words, Blake was flustered. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized something was off in her words. Then, he asked in confusion, “What do you mean by making money for Luminous? What is going on between you and Luminous, Elspeth?”

At that moment, Elspeth realized that she had let words slip out of her tongue. Then, her smile

stiffened.

“It’s not what you think it is. I’m sure you know that Luminous belongs to Azure Corporation. Hence, Harper told me that she would give me a bonus when her company profited. That is why I wished that Luminous would be working well. There’s nothing wrong with that.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

However, Blake was not satisfied with her words.

“Elspeth, don’t tell me that… you are the president of Azure Corporation.”
