Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Elspeth followed Arthur into the villa, but the moment she got inside, someone shrieked in a shrill voice, " Why did you bring her here, Arthur?"

Arthur smiled and hid his disappointment for Emma. "Kidnapped her, to be exact."

Oh. Emma calmed down a little, but she was still incensed. Then, she noticed that Elspeth wasn't even tied up at all. "I thought she was kidnapped."

"What? Were you expecting to see me all tied up?" Elspeth smirked mockingly.

How dare she take that tone with me? She's a captive! Emma gnashed her teeth furiously. "You're a captive. I'd lay low if I were you."

"Hey. your simp opted not to tie me up. Why don't you ask him why? Oh, wait, I know. Perhaps your simp doesn't love you anymore!"

Can she stop calling me that? Arthur gnashed his teeth. "Sharp tongue. Elspeth." He was angry, but he didn't punish Elspeth.

Emma noticed that change and her heart sank. "I never saw you as a simp. You have to get mad at that, Arthur. She just used a slur."

She was trying to fan the flames, but unbeknownst to her. Arthur was no longer the old him. "It's alright. I've already captured her. Just let her do what she wants." Arthur shrugged. There was even a hint of affection in his tone.

"But..." Emma felt a part of her heart getting torn away. For some reason, she felt that Arthur, who had been giving everything he had to her, was going to leave her any moment.

"Cahn down. She's part of the plan." Arthur huddled closer to her and patted her head. There was love in his eyes, but it was fake, of course.

Knowing that the love was fake, Elspeth chuckled.

Emma bristled. "What are you laughing at?"

"You're so adorably naive," mocked Elspeth.

"Alright, calm down. You're going to many Callum soon. Ignore what the captive says."

Emma was delighted that Arthur said that, but then a hint of panic followed. Arthur never wanted me to many Callum, yet he doesn't care now. Does he not love me anymore? Was Elspeth telling the truth? "So, what's the plan, Arthur?"

Arthur sneered and looked at Elspeth. "I'm taking her abroad."
