Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Drinking Up

Ava was confident that this was Elspeth’s attempt at intimidation in order to buy herself some time, and

she didn’t have any evidence at all. There was no way she could have proof of her innocence! She

raised her chin proudly and wanted to see what Elspeth was up to now.

“In that case, let me show you my evidence,” Elspeth answered flatly and whisked out her phone from

her pocket. She clicked on the player, and instantly, everyone heard Ava’s overbearing voice from the

phone.

“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—”

“After I was fired from Winthrop, 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—”

“Yes! I want to hurt you—”

In addition to the conversation, there were also the sounds of bawling and footsteps. It was apparent

that Ava was the one who intentionally wanted to hurt Elspeth in the first place.

“Sir, I think I’ve made myself clear. I didn’t hurt Miss Wiley. Instead, she was the one who wanted to

hurt me, and I was just trying to protect myself,” Elspeth explained calmly.

As Ava listened to the recording and her shrill voice echoed across the station, her face turned ghastly

pale. No way! How did she know that I wanted to hurt her and even turned on the recorder in

advance?!

“You set me up! You deliberately upset me and then recorded our conversation to set me up!” An idea

popped into her mind, and her glare became vicious and sinister.

Elspeth, on the other hand, curled her lips into an indifferent smirk. “What did you say just now? You

wanted to be my lapdog, right? Please don’t. You’re too heavy for my lap.”

Then, she turned and smiled at the police officer. “Sir, I’m sure you’ll make the right decision.”

At this point, everyone knew who was at fault in this matter. The police officer felt sorry for suspecting

Elspeth just now, so he cleared his throat and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Miss Lynwood. I

misunderstood you.”

“It’s okay. What are you going to do with her? Will she be charged?”

The police officer answered promptly, “According to our country’s constitution, aggravated assault is

punishable by up to three years in prison, but the specific sentence depends on whether you want to

place charges or not.”

“So,” Elspeth quipped, raising her eyebrows in amusement. “It depends on my will.”

Ava’s heart sank when she heard this. No, I don’t want to go to jail! I’m only 22 years old. I don’t want

to go to jail!

She stood up, tugged on Elspeth’s sleeve, and wailed, “Please forgive me! Please don’t sue me! I’m

still so young! I can’t go to jail!”

“Calm down, Miss Wiley.” Elspeth frowned.

“I know I’ve always been terrible. I always bullied you when I was a kid, and all those nasty things I did

to you in the company. I’ll do anything to make up for my mistakes, but please don’t sue me! I don’t

want to go to jail. Please—”

Ava was genuinely terrified at this moment. She never thought that she would fall so low.

“Hah!” Elspeth chuckled contemptuously. “So, you do know how nasty you are, huh? You’d better save

those words now and reflect on them in prison.”

She glared at Ava and thought, I won’t attack unless I’m attacked. I’m not a pushover. Do you really

think I’ll let you off the hook after what you did to me?!

Ava saw Elspeth’s resolute and fearsome glare and felt a chill down her spine. Finally, she gave up

begging as she slumped to the ground and burst into regretful tears.

The police officer ordered a few colleagues to take Ava away and detained her before smiling at

Elspeth apologetically. “I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding, Miss Lynwood. I’ll have someone send

you back.”

She waved him off. “Don’t bother. I can return myself.”

The police officer didn’t insist as he was also busy with his cases. So, he had someone send Elspeth to From NôvelDrama.Org.

the door.

As soon as she stepped out of the police station, Callum and Blake rushed over anxiously. Callum was

relieved when he saw that she was unharmed, but Blake grabbed her shoulders and demanded, “What

happened?”

“Nothing.” She smiled sheepishly. “I bumped into Ava. She tried to hurt and frame me but was detained

instead.”

“Oh? I heard about her. She’s a nasty woman. What did you do?” Blake was intrigued.

Elspeth chuckled. “She tried to hit me, so I pushed her, and later she falsely accused me of initiating

the fight. I turned on my recorder throughout the day because I wanted to listen to my performance

during the shooting. So, our conversation was coincidentally recorded as a result.”

Callum knew that Elspeth was brilliant and capable of defending herself, but he frowned at the mention

of Ava. “I fired her long ago, didn’t I?”

On the day he fired Ava, he notified all the companies in the city not to hire her, or they would become

Winthrop Group’s enemies. He didn’t expect that Ava would stubbornly stay in this city.

“Yeah, you did, but she still decided to come at me.” Elspeth shrugged in exasperation. “Maybe she

really despises me.”

His gaze became grave as he thought, I have to teach this woman a lesson this time so that she won’t

be able to hurt Elspeth again.

Blake was relieved when Elspeth was fine. “You must have been shocked after what happened today.

Let’s suspend today’s shooting. We’ll resume the shooting another day.”

She shook her head and declined, “No. Your schedule is full. I can’t delay the shooting just because of

this. Alright, let’s go back now. Maybe we can finish all the shooting before dark.”

They couldn’t change her mind, so the three rushed back to the filming location to continue the shoot.

The commercial officially aired three days later. Within the first hour of airing, the sales volume of First

Love and First Sight increased by thirty percent! It proved the fanbase significance of both Blake and

Nancy.

The shippers were also utterly excited to see both Blake and Nancy pairing up for the commercial.

They bombarded the comment sections on Nancy’s and Blake’s social media accounts, urging them to

marry as soon as possible.

‘Elspeth has a marriage engagement to the Winthrop Family, and she and Blake are a match made in

heaven! Therefore, she should marry Blake!’

‘Just look at their ad! They look so perfect together.’

‘Please date!’

‘I don’t mind if you can marry such a perfect woman! Go ahead! I’m not sad! I ship you guys so hard!’

The comments went on and on.

Elspeth felt that the phenomena in the comment section were normal, and she didn’t feel bothered

about that. Nevertheless, Callum was frustrated about it and chose not to talk to her all day today.

In the evening, she returned home slightly late due to work. As soon as she opened the door, a stench

of alcohol wafted toward her.

Margot and Theodore went on a trip, Edmund went out of town on a business trip, Blake was busy with

work, Arthur was on the night shift at the hospital, and Max was at school. Hence, the source of the

smell was—

“Elspeth.”

She looked up and met Callum’s bright eyes.
