Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317

Damoria.

Callum's eyes were filled with rage as he read the newspaper at his desk. That's impossible! Elspeth was still alive and running around about two weeks ago. How could she have died from a disease in just a few days?

He didn't believe it. or maybe he refused to believe it.

The assistant looked at his boss' gloomy expression from the side, not daring to say anything.

A long while later, Callum rolled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

The nervousness and depression he felt just now disappeared in an instant.

"Mr. Winthrop, the department manager—"

Callum swept his gaze over the assistant's face and ordered. "Let him settle the matter himself."

Hearing that, the assistant started sweating profusely, wondering if it was a good idea to let the department manager deal with tliis matter independently. After all, that wasn't a simple matter.

However, judging by how liis boss seemed a little absentminded and had no intention of getting involved, the assistant pondered for a moment and finally left.

Only Callum was inside the large, spacious office. He tugged on Ills necktie as he felt suffocated.

He knew she shouldn't care about Elspeth, but he felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness whenever he thought about the formerly living and breathing woman suddenly disappearing from the world.

There were no words to describe how he felt.

He didn't care about her but seemed to care a lot about her.

He felt a little angry when he found out about her engagement a week ago. Didn't that woman say she loved me? How could she be willing to many another man if the news described it correctly? Like what they say, women are heartless and can't make up their minds.

At first, Callum had thought about heading to Blaydal and finding her, but after reading the news, he went against that idea.

He couldn't describe liis feelings, but he knew liis heart felt empty.

It was as if he had lost something very important.

In the end, he still opened a ticket-selling website and booked himself a flight to Blaydal.

Elspeth was his fiancee, so he must see her, even if she were a corpse.

At the same time, it wasn't peaceful at Arthur's villa either.

Helena was staring at Elspeth, feeling puzzled. "Isn't the one you like the eldest son of the Winthrop Family? Why did you suddenly decide to get engaged to Arthur? Well, he's quite a good man..."

As Helena didn't know about what Arthur did before, her impression of him was that he was a benevolent doctor who gave her unconditional treatment, and that was why she had a good feeling about him.

When Elspeth heard what her mother said, she scoffed. Is Arthur considered a good man? I didn't see any good in him when he forced me to jump off a cliff.

However. Elspeth couldn't tell Helena the ins and outs as Helena might think Elspeth was being forced to get engaged to Arthur and thus refuse treatment.

"Mom, we can never be sure about our feelings, right?" After letting out an embarrassed chuckle, Elspeth found a vague excuse to avoid the topic.

"Fine. Since you've made your choice. I won't stop you." Helena patted Elspeth's hand before looking at Arthur not far away from them. "Since you've decided to be with him, be serious about it. You're about to get engaged to him, so don't mess around."

It was then that Helena recovered from the continuous shocking events that had happened recently.
