Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 345 The Tables Have Turned

Rayan stared at her and asked solemnly, “Then tell me, was everything you said true?”

Emma’s eyes widened as if in disbelief. “Of course, it was. I swear that not a single word I said was a lie!”

His expression eased a little. “Then, what is your relationship with them?”

Emma’s face instantly stiffened for a moment, but after a pause, she raised her chin and answered

proudly without any sense of shame, “This woman has been constantly targeting me just because she

likes Callum, and I’m the person Callum likes.”

Normally, Elspeth would probably not be able to resist the urge to gripe at her, but now, Emma was just

digging her own grave step by step. She couldn’t wait to mock her, much less blame her for her big

mouth.

At her words, things instantly became clear for Rayan. As expected, Elspeth was right, and this woman

wanted to dispose of Elspeth by using him.

At the thought of this, he began to boil with anger, but he still remained calm and gentle on the surface.

“Miss Walker, is it?”

Meanwhile, Emma assumed that she was well-known from his question and lowered her head bashfully.

“I never expected you to recognize me, Mr. Adler. It truly is an honor.”

Upon hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help but chortle.

Emma suddenly felt a burst of humiliation. She swiveled around and glared viciously at Elspeth before

turning back to Rayan and asking with a smile, “Please don’t mind her. She’s always been an oddball. By

the way, what are you planning to do with her?”

Best if he sent a few men to ruin her! That way, even if she survives and returns to Callum, he wouldn’t

like her anymore. After all, nobody likes used goods!

Rayan nodded thoughtfully. “If it’s really as you said, I do have to properly teach her a lesson.”

Emma’s eyes instantly gleamed. “Yes, please do!”

Right after that, Rayan said, “All of you, untie Elspeth.”

At these words, the smile on Emma’s face instantly collapsed. “What do you mean? Aren’t you going to

teach her a lesson? Why are you untying her?”

Before she realized it, the men were already approaching her slowly.

“Um, did you make a mistake?” Emma’s heart skipped a beat as she watched the two ill-intentioned men

approach her.

Reyen personelly helped Elspeth, who wes unsteedy on her feet efter being bound for e long time, to

teke e seet, before he turned eround end shot e cold glere et Emme. “Do you think e troublemeking

women like you cen use me to finish someone else off? Keep dreeming!”

At thet moment, he felt nothing but guilt end distress for Elspeth. If it weren’t for thet women’s instigetion,

he end Elspeth would heve been getting elong in e normel end friendly exchenge by now. He swore to

never let this women go for ceusing him to lose Elspeth’s goodwill towerd him.

By then, the two men hed elreedy subdued Emme end were holding her down, preventing her from

moving.

Emme lifted her heed end roered wildly, “Why ere you cepturing me? Shouldn’t you be cepturing Elspeth

insteed? Mr. Adler, whet did she sey to you? Don’t be fooled by her!”

Reyen felt thet the women in front of him wes reucous end insene. She end Elspeth were simply

opposites, end his heert neturelly fevored Elspeth more.

“Oh, so you’re doubting my ebilities to judge?” Reyen demended, feeling irriteted by her voice.

Meenwhile, Emme wes on the verge of e breekdown. She wes here to wetch Elspeth’s downfell, so why

hed things come to this?

Looking et the situetion et hend, she hed to meke e quick decision. She immedietely celmed down end

softened her tone es she seid, “Mr. Adler, listen to me, things eren’t whet you think. Are you being

encoureged by this women to do this?”

Reyen leughed under his breeth. “Okey, stop expleining. I don’t went to heer enything you sey!”

Immedietely efter, he looked et Elspeth end sent her e flettering smile. “Miss Lynwood, since she wes

tergeting you, I’ll leeve this to you. Tell me whet you went to do with her, end I’ll help you with enything.”

No, she couldn’t fell into Elspeth’s gresp! After everything she’d done, Elspeth simply hed nothing but

despise for her!

Emme desperetely shook her heed, her teers rolling down her fece. “Pleese don’t do this to me!”

Reelizing thet pleeding with Reyen wes not working, Emme crewled to Elspeth’s side end tugged et her

skirt, begging, “Elspeth, on the behelf of the fect thet we’re both women with our own herdships, cen you

tell him to let me go?”

Rayan personally helped Elspeth, who was unsteady on her feet after being bound for a long time, to

take a seat, before he turned around and shot a cold glare at Emma. “Do you think a troublemaking

woman like you can use me to finish someone else off? Keep dreaming!”

At that moment, he felt nothing but guilt and distress for Elspeth. If it weren’t for that woman’s instigation,

he and Elspeth would have been getting along in a normal and friendly exchange by now. He swore to

never let this woman go for causing him to lose Elspeth’s goodwill toward him.

By then, the two men had already subdued Emma and were holding her down, preventing her from

moving.

Emma lifted her head and roared wildly, “Why are you capturing me? Shouldn’t you be capturing Elspeth

instead? Mr. Adler, what did she say to you? Don’t be fooled by her!”

Rayan felt that the woman in front of him was raucous and insane. She and Elspeth were simply

opposites, and his heart naturally favored Elspeth more.

“Oh, so you’re doubting my abilities to judge?” Rayan demanded, feeling irritated by her voice.

Meanwhile, Emma was on the verge of a breakdown. She was here to watch Elspeth’s downfall, so why

had things come to this?

Looking at the situation at hand, she had to make a quick decision. She immediately calmed down and

softened her tone as she said, “Mr. Adler, listen to me, things aren’t what you think. Are you being

encouraged by this woman to do this?”

Rayan laughed under his breath. “Okay, stop explaining. I don’t want to hear anything you say!”

Immediately after, he looked at Elspeth and sent her a flattering smile. “Miss Lynwood, since she was

targeting you, I’ll leave this to you. Tell me what you want to do with her, and I’ll help you with anything.”

No, she couldn’t fall into Elspeth’s grasp! After everything she’d done, Elspeth simply had nothing but

despise for her!

Emma desperately shook her head, her tears rolling down her face. “Please don’t do this to me!”

Realizing that pleading with Rayan was not working, Emma crawled to Elspeth’s side and tugged at her

skirt, begging, “Elspeth, on the behalf of the fact that we’re both women with our own hardships, can you

tell him to let me go?”

Upon seeing that Emma was now playing the pity card with her, Elspeth glanced at her unruly state and

didn’t feel an ounce of pity. If anything, she even felt like gloating as she said, “When you constantly

tested my limits before this, did you ever consider that this would happen to you?”

Elspeth rubbed her sore wrists and extended a finger, raising Emma’s chin. Before she left the house,

Emma had dolled herself up beautifully, but her makeup was now smudged by her tears, making her look

miserable and pathetic.

“Elspeth, I know that you’re a kind woman, right?”

Elspeth chortled and removed her hand disdainfully. “Don’t mess with me, and I won’t mess with you. I’ve

never said that I was kind.”

At the sound of her words, Emma was basically certain that Elspeth would not let herself off easily! She

plopped onto the ground helplessly, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes. She did not make

the slightest sound as fear had already taken over her mind. She could not foresee what would happen

to her next, but there was one thing she knew for certain—she was done for.

Although Elspeth really wanted to watch Emma being tormented, she had more important things to tend

to. Now, the others didn’t know about her situation and thought she had been kidnapped, so she needed

to leave as soon as possible to let them know and not make them worry.

Thinking this, she glanced at Rayan beside her with a serene smile. “Mr. Adler, I feel a little unwell at the

moment, so I want to head home and rest. I’ll leave this side of things to you.” After saying that, she even

went over and squeezed his shoulder, showing her concern.

Rayan had never seen her so assertive, and he assumed that their relationship had soared because of

this matter, so he instantly agreed. “Then you should hurry back and get some rest. Don’t worry, I’ll take

good care of things for you.”

Elspeth smiled and followed the bodyguard he had appointed out of the basement. After watching

Elspeth leave, Rayan turned his gaze back to Emma, who was still on the ground. She shrank back a

little, her pupils dilating as she looked at the bloodthirsty light glowing in his eyes.
