Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512 Strip Him Bare

"Very well. If that's your choice, then you will suffer the consequences," Arthur hissed.

He was disappointed. Elspeth just twisted the knife of despair even deeper into his heart. However, before he could say anything else, he started choking on himself. Callum was tightening his grip on Arthur's throat, blocking his windpipe.

The explosion was done by Callum's men to distract Arthur. They finally caught up to Arthur's car and smashed the door open. They were relieved to see Arthur pinned down. The man in the lead dragged the driver out of the other car and tossed him over to Callum.

"Got him, sir."

"Don't kill me. I did nothing, I swear!" Thinking that he might die that night, the driver almost pissed his pants.

"I won't kill you." Thinking that it was inconvenient to keep his hold on Arthur's neck, Callum swiftly took the knife and held it against his throat. "You're worthless, anyway." Callum looked at the driver.

"Yes, yes. Please spare me." The driver knelt on the ground, shivering in fear.

Angered by his driver's cowardly performance, Arthur shot him a venomous glare. "You useless oaf."

The driver kept his mouth shut, though he wouldn't stop trembling.

Callum pushed Arthur over to his men and told them to keep an eye on him. He quickly pulled some tissues and tried to stop Elspeth's bleeding, but no matter what he did, the blood wouldn't stop. Her lips were getting paler by the second. There's no time to lose. Callum ordered, "Strip the driver bare and toss him somewhere crowded. As for Mr. Winthrop here… Well, he's the president of Bluestone Corp. Can't humiliate him too much. Strip him bare and step on him. Then, toss him somewhere really crowded." Then, Callum added, "Also, toss them into different places. Don't want anyone to recognize them, after all."

The man in the lead chuckled and rubbed his hand. "No problem, sir. I know what to do."

"I know you do." Callum nodded and took Elspeth to his car. Then, he drove her to the hospital.

Once Callum was gone, the leader of the gang turned his attention to the stubborn Arthur and slapped the man. It wasn't a hard slap, though Arthur felt humiliated. "What are you looking at, punk? Do you really think you're high and mighty? You're just a nobody."

Callum had received the same treatment half an hour ago. And now, it's my turn. Arthur hated this, but he couldn't do anything about it. If he tried anything stupid, the men would humiliate him even more. Thus, he smirked politely. "What's so good about him? You're wasting your talent working for Callum. Why don't you work with me? I promise—"

Before Arthur could even finish his sentence, the man punched him in the face. "Shut it. Do you think I care about money?"

Arthur staggered backward before standing firmly. He wiped the blood off his lips and continued, "I'm just trying to be nice. Working for him has no future. But if you work for me, I can give you riches and power. A job. A great job."
