Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Emma was on edge at the thought of the things Elspeth could have discovered.

She was afraid Elspeth might have found out about her deal with Alphascape. Elspeth would surely run her out of the company and might even report her to the police.

150 million… It’s 150 million!

Emma knew she would be heading to prison if the Winthrop Group pressed charges against her!

Thankfully for Emma, she was good at networking, and some of them came to her defense when they saw Elspeth taking such a forceful stance. “Even though Emma’s identity is a lie, she’s a good person. She helped me out a lot.”

“That’s right. I couldn’t finish my work once, and it was Emma who helped me with it.”

“Emma switched tasks with me so I could take the day off when my son was sick.”

It was clear that Emma had managed to win the hearts of many of those in the room as they began putting in a good word for her.

“Oh? Are you defending her regardless of what she does simply because she helped you before?” Elspeth wanted to laugh. “What makes you think I’m the one who caused the company’s crisis?”

These people were ruled by their hearts, not by their reason. Some shied away, but some were still trying to fight Elspeth on this. “Show us the proof, then. We just think that Emma’s too nice to do such a thing, whereas you’re the CEO of Azure Corporation. Maybe you snuck into the company to destroy us so that there’s one less obstacle in Azure’s future.”

They were not going to see through Emma’s facade if Elspeth didn’t show them the evidence, so she gave the documents to her assistant, who then passed a copy to everyone.

“These are records of Emma’s calls with Alphascape Group. There are quite a number of them, and every number can be linked to one of Alphascape’s senior executives.”

Then, she added, “Furthermore, Emma gave the owner of the factory 100 thousand to ruin the products, and the owner agreed to do so out of his greed. However, he’s also a coward, so when I said I was going to sue him, he confessed to everything. This is the statement from the owner with his signature and fingerprint.”

Those in the meeting room pored over the documents. After studying the documents for what felt like hours, they had to admit that they had been blinded by Emma. She was nothing like what they thought she was.

“Emma, do you know that the things you’ve done are enough to ensure you suffer for the rest of your life?”

Now that everything had been exposed, Emma didn’t bother keeping up her act anymore. She put on an aggrieved expression as she wailed at Callum, “Mr. Winthrop, seeing as how I resemble your first love, can’t you let me off the hook?”

Callum felt nothing but disgust when he heard what she said.

“Why should I let you off the hook just because you share a resemblance to her? Don’t be so full of yourself, Emma.”

As he looked at her crying visage, he recalled the memories of that relationship. However, not only did he not feel any sympathy, but he became even more annoyed. “I don’t have any feelings toward her anymore. Didn’t Arthur tell you that?”

Emma froze in disbelief. That’s impossible! Arthur told me that Callum’s still hung up on his first love and that I’d definitely get out of everything if I just relied on my face. Why does it seem as if he despises me even more now?

Emma might have been confident, but she was just a young woman. After realizing how firm Elspeth was on this, her body went limp with fear. “I’ll tell you everything Alphascape had told me, so please don’t press charges against me!”

Elspeth knew full well what Alphascape had done, so she couldn’t be bothered to listen.

If Alphascape was willing to send a woman as stupid as Emma over, it proved that she was nothing more than an expendable chess piece.

In that case, how could she possibly know any of Alphascape’s secrets?

Elspeth chuckled and shook her head. “That won’t be necessary, Emma. You can tell the police instead and see if they forgive you.”

The police?! Emma almost blacked out.

The police soon arrived to take her away with them. She left the company in despair.

However, there was still an urgent matter that required a resolution.
