Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Arthur’s words that day did cause a heavy impact on Elspeth.

Callum noticed that Elspeth was in a daze so he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s on your mind, Elspeth?”

Elspeth snapped out of her thoughts and the blank look in her eyes disappeared. “I was thinking about what Arthur said. I think…”

“You also think that Arthur isn’t as simple as he seems, right?”

Callum looked into Elspeth’s eyes and immediately guessed what she was thinking.

“Previously, Arthur used Mrs. Winthrop’s life to threaten me, but this time, he grabbed the weapon in Ophelia’s hands to save Mrs. Winthrop. Does he care about Mrs. Winthrop or not? What do you think?”

Arthur’s actions and behavior were too strange. Elspeth couldn’t figure out what Arthur was up to.

“What about you?”

“I think he faked the whole incident of him snatching the weapon.”

Although Callum did know Arthur for decades now, he didn’t understand Arthur all that well as their relationship wasn’t great.

However, after hearing what Elspeth said, even though he had his suspicions, he couldn’t resist querying

further.

“Faked it?”

“That’s right. It had to have been an act. Think about it. Would a normal, decent child joke around with his mother’s life? You can’t possibly think the incident with Mrs. Winthrop’s respirator tube being pulled out was just an accident, right? The nurses would check on her every day. Arthur’s the hospital director. Who would have dared to do such a thing if they didn’t have his permission?”

Elspeth’s analysis was flawless.

“Mom has always been very good to him.”

Callum pressed his lips together. His tone became a little grim.

“I know. Mrs. Winthrop loves all her children. Still, look at what Arthur has done the past few times. Do you think he’s someone who knows how to be grateful?” Elspeth snorted at the recollection of what Arthur said in the past.

Callum lost all trust in the younger brother he had known for over a decade.

“But, before that, you must remember to take good care of Mrs. Winthrop. Even though she’s not in any danger now, you must be prepared for anything and everything.”

Callum nodded. All of a sudden, he had an uneasy feeling in his chest. “You need to be careful too.”

“I know. If Ophelia tries to get back at me, I’ll be prepared for her too.”

A thought occurred to Callum. He walked over to Elspeth and held her shoulders. “If she does do something to you, you don’t need to show her any mercy. Just do whatever you want.”

“Got it.”

Elspeth’s heart flitted with joy at his words.

“By the way, it’ll soon be the fifth anniversary of Blake’s debut in the industry. I think he wants to hold a

concert on that day, so we should attend it.”

Elspeth remembered that Blake mentioned this to her this morning as well, so she nodded. “Alright. Let’s attend it together when the time comes.”

“However, there’s still something we haven’t dealt with yet.”

Before Callum could finish speaking, Elspeth cut in. “You’re talking about Alphascape, right?”
