Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 36

Chapter 36 False Accusation of Intentional Injury

Blake came to Winthrop Group a few days later. He leaned against the door of the president’s office

and smiled leisurely. “Callum, I have contacted all the female celebrities who are free recently, but

either their images do not fit the model, or they don’t want to be the model. There is no suitable

candidate.”

Callum donned a cold expression. “We don’t have to shoot the commercials.”

“What? No!” Blake frowned. “How can you do that? We have agreed on this, so you can’t go back on

your words.”

“I’ll pay you the advertising fee, but you don’t have to shoot the commercials.”

There was a clause that Elspeth needed help understanding, so she went to Callum’s office. Just as

she was about to knock on the door, she heard their conversation, and a complex emotion surged

within her.

“Hi, Elspeth!” Blake immediately went to her and beamed happily. “I can’t find a suitable candidate for

the commercial. You promised you would do it with me if I can’t find someone suitable.”

Her lips twitched in response to his eagerness, but when she looked at Callum, who looked irate and

chafed, she didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t worry about him. He’s agreed to let us shoot the commercials together.”

“I didn’t say that,” Callum snapped coldly.

“In that case, why don’t I give it a try?”

The celebrities’ efficacy in promoting the jewelry was the way to ease Winthrop Group’s intervention

into the jewelry business and achieve the first victory. Elspeth did not want to give up this plan easily,

so she looked at Callum carefully.

Since he did not give her any adverse reaction, she tried again, “This is for the company’s sake. It’s

quite a good plan, actually.”

Callum remained silent for a long while, and finally, he mumbled a quiet ‘Okay’ as an approval.

With his approval, they could carry out the commercial smoothly. So, Blake postponed his new drama’s NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

shooting and focused on the jewelry commercial.

The shooting location was not in the office but on a large outdoor lawn.

Callum personally came to oversee the shooting progress. He disguised his true intention by stating

that he was only there to supervise them in case something might go wrong. It was inevitable for Blake

and Elspeth to pose intimately during the process. Both models were in character and utterly immersed

in the atmosphere. Thus, they overlooked the gloomy and grumpy Callum.

After the first scene, Elspeth went to grab a drink of water when she heard his flat and cold voice,

“Good job.”

She was surprised that he was there, so she quickly turned her head and saw him standing on the

side. There were some indefinable emotions in his eyes as she asked, “Why are you here?”

He cleared his throat and said, “As the president of Winthrop Group, I need to pay attention to any

activities that my company conducts, including commercial shoots.”

She nodded as his reason seemed plausible. Then, when she saw Blake walking toward them, she

handed a bottle of water to him. “Here, drink some water.”

After Blake unscrewed the cap and took a sip, he taunted. “Callum, I didn’t expect you to come over to

watch this boring stuff.”

“Can’t I come?” Callum narrowed his eyes.

Blake laughed out loud. “Hey, I’ve been shooting a lot of commercials for the company. You wouldn’t

come no matter how I begged you to, but you decided to show up out of the blue this time. What a rare

sight.”

Then, he squinted and said curiously, “Wait a minute. Are you here because of Elspeth? Wow, I can’t

imagine that you actually have fallen for a woman.”

Callum glared at him and hissed under his breath, “You talk a little too much.”

Blake shook his head and chuckled. “I liked her first, so back off. She’s mine.”

Callum felt even grumpier when he heard this. “We don’t know whether she’s yours or not.”

The atmosphere between the two men was getting tense. So, Elspeth quickly blurted out that she

needed to use the restroom and fled the scene.

She went to the nearby public restroom and saw a familiar face as soon as she entered. It was Ava,

whom she had not seen for a long time.

“It’s a small world, isn’t it, Elspeth?” Ava glared at her coldly.

Elspeth was not in the mood to converse with this woman who clearly hated her. “How are you doing,

Miss Wiley? Did you find a new job?”

Ava was enraged when Elspeth brought up this topic and growled, “Don’t think I can’t do anything after

you forced me out of Winthrop Group. Just wait and see. I’ll make you pay sooner or later!”

“Whatever.” Elspeth rolled her eyes.

After Ava ensured that there was no one around them, she suddenly charged forward boldly and

extended her arms toward Elspeth’s face. Nevertheless, Elspeth reacted quickly as she grabbed Ava’s

wrist and glared viciously. “Are you trying to hurt me?!”

“Yes! I want to hurt you so badly! You want to know how I’m doing, don’t you? After I was fired from

Winthrop Group, no one wanted to hire me, and it was all because of you! You turned my life upside

down, so I will let you have a taste of your own medicine!”

Ava struggled to pull Elspeth’s hair, but Elspeth pushed her back. As a result, she lost her balance and

fell backward, hitting her head hard on the sink behind her.

The intense pain caused her to panic, and she completely lost it when she felt the blood flowing down

her neck. She hastily took out her phone and phoned the police. “Elspeth, you’ve hurt me! You’ll rot in

jail!”

Elspeth remained silent as she looked at Ava, bellowing at her.

Soon, the police came and took away both women.

Ava’s head was injured, so she went to the hospital first to treat her wound and then to the police

station to make a statement.

Callum and Blake were waiting for Elspeth to continue the shooting when they heard that she was

arrested. They instantly put aside their argument as they rushed toward the police station.

On the other hand, Elspeth and Ava sat side by side at the police station. They didn’t say a word, so

the police officer asked, “What happened?”

Elspeth remained quiet, but Ava immediately cried wolf. “Sir, please help me! I didn’t do anything, but

she pushed me, and now I suffered such a serious injury. I want to sue this woman!”

The officer gave Ava a tissue paper because she was crying sadly and looked quite pitiful with her

bandaged head. Then, he turned to Elspeth and asked, “Miss Lynwood, is what Miss Wiley said true?

Did you have a grudge against her? Was that why you pushed her?”

“It’s self-defense,” Elspeth said dispassionately.

Ava knew that there was no surveillance in the restroom, so there was nothing Elspeth could do, even

if she lied. Hence, Ava became bolder and snapped, “Elspeth, I could have asked the judge to reduce

your charge if you admit that you hurt me intentionally, but you’re so stubborn. I can’t let you off the

hook!”

The police officer frowned. “Miss Lynwood, please confess, and the sentence will be more lenient.”

“It’s self-defense,” Elspeth repeated.

Ava couldn’t help raising her voice and shrieking, “Officer, there’s no need to ask her any question.

Since she’s so stubborn, just lock her up!”

Elspeth chuckled in amusement. “What if I have evidence?”

Ava laughed derisively as if she had heard the funniest joke. “Oh, really? Show us then! I’ll be your

lapdog if you can bring out the evidence today!”
