Chapter 508 Murder Most Foul

"You're still acting tough, huh? I'd like to see how long you can hold it up." Jasmine's chest was

heaving. She was livid.

"You'll see if it's an act soon enough." Callum's eyes glinted with murder.

"In any case, you guys are locked. Let's see how you escape." She crossed her arms and chuckled.

"Too early to celebrate, Jasmine."

Callum's threat managed to scare Jasmine for a moment, but it lost its effect after a while. "I used to

like you, but now, I'm disappointed. Since you want to be with her, you guys will suffer as I did."

She cackled like a mad witch finally succeeding in her devious spellcasting. Just then, thunder roared.

Jasmine looked at the ominous sky and frowned slightly. "It's going to rain soon. Time for me to go,

then. Have fun, you two." With that, she got into her car and drove off.

The couple exchanged a look, both having their own ideas to escape.

Elspeth tugged on Callum's sleeve as she asked, "So, what's your plan?"

"Don't worry. We'll be fine." Callum patted her head.

Just when he was about to say something, the woman rolled her eyes. "I'm not worried. Just want to

know if you have a plan. If your plan's too convoluted, we'll go with mine instead."

"I've sent them a signal. They should arrive soon." His underlings should have gotten the signal for

help.

So, we have to wait, huh? Elspeth clicked her tongue impatiently.

Callum was amused by her actions. "So, what's your plan?" Is she going to smash the door with her

head?

The thought alone made him smile. Elspeth noticed that, and she knew Callum must be thinking of

something stupid.

"Alright, out of my way." She tugged on the lock and picked up a stretch of thin steel thread. She was

going to pick the lock.

"You can pick locks?" Callum was surprised, but he let Elspeth do her magic. This wasn't the first time

she surprised him. In retrospect, it wasn't surprising that she had another skill.

"I know a lot more than I let on." She looked at him smugly and moved her hands around. Before long,

the rusty lock opened up. "I could've picked it faster, but it's rusty."

A hint of delight flared in the man's eyes. "You're awesome."

"Naturally. Alright, it's going to rain soon. We should go back." Just when they were about to leave, a

car charged straight out of nowhere and came right at them.

They knew something was wrong. Callum shouted, "Split up!"

They ran in opposite directions, and the car made a quick turn. It went after Elspeth. Despite her best

efforts, the car easily caught up to her and got in her way. She stopped, breathing heavily as she

looked at the car.

A suited man got out of the car, and a man in black got out of the passenger seat, holding up an

umbrella for the man. "It's been a while, Elspeth." Arthur smiled gently. Noticing Elspeth getting

drenched, he cocked his eyebrow. "You shouldn't let the lady get drenched. Get a set of clothes for her

to change."

"Cut the crap, Arthur. What the hell do you want?"

"What else?" Upset by the quality of this conversation, he stepped forth in an attempt to get closer to

her. The woman quickly took a step back. "Aww, don't back off. I'm not a monster. Not like I'm going to

eat you." He smirked. "Besides, I like you. I won't hurt you."

How on earth can he be so f*cking clingy? "Can you stop coming after me? You disgust me."

"I'm disgusting? All I want is to get along with the woman I like." Arthur shrugged.

"Shut it. What do you want?" He's not a bearer of good news. And he almost killed us. Oh, no. "You're

going to kill us, aren't you?"

Shocked, he said, "Oh, no. I love you too much for that. Even if I want to kill someone, it'd be Callum."

"But you came after me. You can't catch up to him now."

Arthur exchanged a smile with the man in black before turning his attention back to Elspeth. "Do you

think I'd be that stupid?"

"What do you mean?" Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh, I'm not the only pursuer tonight. Someone else went after him."

Oh, no. He's in danger. Elspeth roared, "He's your brother!"

"Oh, please. He doesn't see me as his brother, and it's been that way for a long time. Don't try to use

that nonsense to persuade me out of it. It's too late for that."

She sighed and asked, "What's the condition? What do I have to do to save him?"

"No negotiations. I must kill him, or you will never be with me." Arthur shook his head. Elspeth tried to

strike a deal with the same term before, but as long as Callum was alive, she would never truly be his.

This time, he wouldn't fall for the same trick again. The best way to take out his competition was to get

rid of him in the wilderness.

"Murder is against the law."

Arthur's smile didn't diminish. "I know that much. But I never said I'm the one who killed him."

Elspeth sneered. "But your men are acting on your orders."

"And why do you think I would be blamed for the murder?"
