Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551 Turning Your Back on Him

Arthur had a strong idea in his mind that he wanted to prove. The moment he pushed the door open, he was greeted by colors that shouldn't have belonged to Blake's room.

Margot explained next to him with some embarrassment, "This room belonged to Blake at first, but Elspeth moved in here afterward, no? That's why she stayed in this room for a while."

As expected, it's the same as I thought, thought Arthur. He entered the room directly, walking around before his gaze fell upon a framed illustration lying on the desk. The illustration looked adorable, and it seemed to be a casual sketch by Elspeth. He gently stroked it as a hint of tenderness flitted across his face.

An uneasy thought crossed Margot's mind when she saw him like this. Don't tell me Arthur has feelings for Elspeth. At the thought of this, she immediately shook her head in an attempt to dispel the idea, but she couldn't seem to get it out of her mind. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Arthur, you just said you have something to discuss with Callum. What's the matter, actually?"

"It's about the acquisition of the Winthrop Group."

Margot jumped at the word 'acquisition.' "Acquisition? What happened to the Winthrop Group? Why does it have to be acquired?"

Arthur purposely pretended to look very sorry. "There's no way around it. The Winthrop Group appears to be going strong under Callum's management, but in fact, it's already rotten to the core. I can't just sit back and watch it go bankrupt, right? It's Dad's life work, after all."

He tried to make himself seem benevolent and great-hearted with these high-sounding words, but how could Margot not figure out the intrigues and plots behind them? She wasn't a fool, after all. "Arthur, you can't do such a heartless thing. Callum is your brother." She tried to sound as gentle as she could. "Callum has done everything he could to look after you over so many years, you know. Do you think it's right for you to turn your back on him at such a time?"

"Me turning my back on him? Are you kidding me?" Arthur burst out laughing unashamedly. "Mrs. Winthrop, I call you 'Mom' out of respect, but could you have forgotten the favoritism you've shown over the years?" He would never forget how Margot and Theodore had Callum join the Winthrop Group as an intern and named the man the future heir to the company while forbidding him to join the company just because he wasn't related to them by blood. They even told me falsely that they had done all of this for my own good, that I couldn't survive at the company with my temperament, that Callum was more qualified to be the heir to the company with his steady character and would help us as much as possible. How ironic, he thought. "Since you can't treat us equally, I'll do whatever I can to steal it."

"Arthur!" Margot placed her hands on his arm. She wanted to talk him out of this, only for him to shake her off mercilessly. He said, "Don't touch me! I'm telling you, I'm gonna acquire the Winthrop Group today no matter what!"

Margot looked like a sorry sight upon being thrown to the floor.

"Arthur, what are you doing?" questioned an angry voice from behind.

Arthur looked back indifferently and saw Callum and Elspeth at a glance. They were both coming this way, and neither of them looked very pleased. He shrugged and sat down on the couch nonchalantly, saying, "What am I doing? I'm not doing anything."

Elspeth stepped aside and helped Margot up; only after whispering to Margot and making sure that she was all right did she feel relieved. "Arthur, she's your mother and has raised you for over 20 years! Not even a pet dog deserves such treatment, no?" she questioned in a confrontational tone, losing control of her emotions.
