Love's Perfect Match

Unfortunately, all of that has passed and I can’t return to those days.

Meanwhile, Callum stayed silent and lowered his head to eat his noodles, but his mood was slightly

affected. This was the first time he heard her mention her family; though it was just a brief sentence, he

was still deeply moved.

The two went back to the company and a colleague patted Elspeth on the shoulder when she was just

about to get off work. “Elspeth, log on to your Twitter. Something happened!”

Feeling her heart sink, she logged onto her Twitter account and scanned through the contents with some

large, attention-grabbing words.

‘Elspeth Lynwood acts intimately with a foreign man while being engaged to the Winthrop Family.’

‘Though Elspeth Lynwood looks obedient, she’s actually a playgirl who plays with the Winthrop men’s

feelings.’

‘Having been surrounded by so many men, who will get Elspeth Lynwood in the end?’

…

There was also a blurry picture on Twitter circling around. From it, Elspeth could make out that it was

taken on the day of the auction when Theo was touching her head; they were smiling happily and

seemed very close.

Although they were both wearing sunglasses, it was not difficult to make out that the woman in the

picture was herself.

Squinting her eyes, Elspeth felt a cold sensation pass through her. She seemed to know who was behind

all of this, so she immediately called Harper to get rid of those news articles. In the meantime, she was

called home by Theodore.

When she came out of the company, she just happened to bump into Callum, who was going home as

well. However, he merely glanced at her before walking away. It seemed like he had also found out about

the hottest news articles.

At last, Elspeth returned to the Winthrop Residence under everyone’s presence and was immediately

met with Margot’s lecture. “Elspeth! I thought you were a good kid. I cannot believe that you’re such a

sl*t!”

Frowning, Elspeth did not retort but tried to explain instead, “It’s all just a misunderstanding.”

However, Margot was not having it. “I can understand it if you don’t like any of my sons, but how can you

agree to spend time with my sons while secretly dating another man? Elspeth, do you think you’re being

fair to Theodore?”

Elspeth knew that if she could not explain this situation clearly, perhaps even Theodore would be

disappointed in her.

“Elspeth, all the evidence is crystal clear, so I suggest you admit your doings!” Max had long since

despised Elspeth’s aloof attitude and sneered, “You’d better get out of here as soon as possible. Maybe,

by then, I’ll be the bigger person and forgive you.”

Shaking her head, Elspeth explained again, “It’s not what you guys think. That man is my senior.”

A senior? Who are you kidding?

While staring at her with his cold gaze, Max reprimanded, “Even if he’s your senior, someone who’s able

to interact so intimately with you must be someone close to you, right? Elspeth, things have already

gotten to this point, yet you’re still trying to reason your way out of this.”

Meanwhile, Theodore was frowning with mixed emotions surging within him. He stared at Elspeth and

asked calmly, “Elsie, are they telling the truth? Are you and that man—”

She replied in a deep tone, “Mr. Winthrop, that person is really only a senior to me. I can call him right

now if you don’t believe me.”

At that moment, Margot smirked. “What can you prove by calling him? Wouldn’t you be able to trick

everyone by getting your story straightened out with him?”

Feeling a headache coming, Elspeth felt that it was indeed difficult for her to explain things in such a

situation.

Suddenly, Blake, who was scrolling through Twitter, shouted in surprise, “Hey, everyone. Someone just

posted an official statement on Twitter.”

The person was a mix of Edenian and Charsian and he looked just like the person in the pictures.

Subsequently, the post wrote, ‘I am a man with a fiancé and we’re going to get married this June. Elspeth

Lynwood is like a younger sister to me, and caring for her is the task our teacher gave me, so there is no

need to blow this out of proportion. I hope that all of you netizens can be kind with your words and spare

the young woman.’

Since Mark had received a lot of grand prizes abroad, he had substantial popularity, so no one dared to

easily refute him. Therefore, the tides suddenly changed and some even began to guess which evil

person would have the time to take the photo and frame Elspeth with baseless accusation.

Margot, who was furious earlier, began to calm down and looked at Elspeth’s face while lost in thought.

“Elspeth, I…”

With a satisfied smile on his face, Theodore assured her, “I knew my judgment was correct. Elsie, you’ve

been wronged.”

While nodding her head, Elspeth smiled. “Mr. Winthrop, thank you for believing in me.”

On the other hand, Max felt embarrassed as he tapped his nose while stubbornly saying, “I’m sorry, but I

still don’t like you.”

“I don’t need you to like me, but don’t ever accuse me of something I didn’t do.” Elspeth threw him a

sideways glance and replied.

He clenched his fists. “Don’t push your luck, lady!”

“Alright, already. Now that this is settled, let’s not pursue it anymore.” Theodore waved his hand to stop

Max from spitting any more hurtful words.

After the crowd had dispersed, Callum was still standing not far away while staring at Elspeth. He had a

strange feeling when he saw her usual calmness and composure while dealing with this matter instead of

crying and making a fuss.

Sensing his gaze, she tilted her head and beamed. “Do you think I have something to do with that man?”

He remained silent, which in a way meant that he admitted to being bothered by it. However, it was not to

the extent that he truly believed she was such a person.

While looking at his expression, Elspeth flashed him a smile, but it did not reach her eyes.
