Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267

The next second, a smile tugged on Blake’s lips and he stopped pushing Lisa away. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist, causing her to moan. “Have you really thought it through?”Lisa nodded and continued moving closer to him.Meanwhile, at the door, when Callum heard the two people had already progressed to this stage, he lowered his head to take a look at Elspeth, who was still unconscious in his arms. After a moment’s pause, he turned around and carried her back to the Winthrop Residence.As the voices at the doors faded away, Blake immediately let go of the girl in his arms, making her heated body wriggle. She was seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.“Enough, Lisa. I’ll take you to the hospital. If I do anything to you, Elspeth will definitely kill me tomorrow.”At first, he didn’t notice it but later, he realized that someone was standing at the door. He knew it was either Callum or Elspeth. No matter who it was, as long as they knew something happened between him and another girl, they would let down their guard on him, especially Elspeth. She shouldn’t be as wary of him anymore. This way, he could finally have a proper conversation with her because ever since he confessed his feelings to Elspeth, both Callum and Elspeth had been acting very awkward with him. What he wanted the most was to be friends with her.Blake then looked at the girl in front of him and took a deep breath. But I feel quite guilty for ruining her reputation.At the same time, Lisa seemed to have finally listened to him. Perhaps because she had been unsatisfied for a long time, she fainted right away with a flushed face.Seeing that, he sighed heavily and carried her to the hospital.The next day, Elspeth woke up and found herself in the Winthrop Residence. Theodore and Margot happened to be at home and when they saw Elspeth coming downstairs, they greeted her with smiles, “Good morning, Elsie. You’re finally awake.” Having gone through so much, they treated her as if she were their daughter. Especially Margot, who even seemed to be so biased toward Elspeth that she would scold Callum on Elspeth’s behalf.“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop. Where’s Callum?”Hearing that, Margot chuckled as she covered her mouth and teased Elspeth. “You just woke up and are already looking for Callum? It seems like you two really have a good relationship. Don’t worry, Elsie. He went to the office to handle some things. He should be back soon.”After a nod, Elspeth suddenly slapped herself on the forehead when she remembered that today was the day the drama would be released. While I was unconscious, Callum probably took the lead with Blake and Yelena. At this thought, she quickly got ready and rushed to Luminous.Since early morning, Timothy had already been at his computer, waiting for the premiere date and ratings which were crucial for the drama’s future promotion. Yelena skipped her training and waited with him in front of the computer as well.As soon as Elspeth entered the room, she looked around but didn’t see Blake, so she asked, “Where’s Blake?” He’s usually very particular about these things. How can he forget about this?Timothy shook his head. “I don’t know. He hasn’t messaged me about taking a leave, so he probably overslept.”As long as nothing serious has happened to him. Elspeth didn’t dwell on it. She looked at the computer in front of her and felt a little nervous. This was the drama she had personally signed up for, but she hadn’t been very involved with it until now. Seeing the data on the screen, she couldn’t help but feel anxious.The drama premiered with the first three episodes at 9.00AM. Coincidentally, the large-scale historical drama, ‘Song of Viollenys’, also premiered with the first three episodes at the same time. It was obvious that they were copying them. However, Elspeth wasn’t too worried about that. Plagiarism? I’m not afraid of that! At 9.00AM, the unremarkable numbers on the screen began to skyrocket. Most people were drawn in by the fame of Yelena and Blake and were amazed by the strong chemistry between the two of them. The comments section exploded with discussion, with some marveling at the chemistry between the two and others praising the drama’s plot.Soon, the discussion evolved in a way they didn’t expect.I Love Potato wrote, ‘OMG, did anyone watch the third episode? I think I saw Elspeth and Callum in it! Is this for real?’Carrots with Soy Sauce typed, ‘The point is that their acting is so good! It’s my first time seeing them act, so I thought it would be awkward…”Kisskiss chimed in, ‘They’re so cool! Real couples are just so great to watch!’Your Girl is Here also added, ‘Don’t you guys think that Elspeth is even prettier than the female lead… Ah! The carrying of the female lead in her arms shows off her charisma!’Stone wrote, ‘Calm down, girl. You’re about to lose your mind over her!’…No one promoted that, but Elspeth and Callum’s acting skills had won everyone over. Seeing the comments gradually turn into a discussion about Callum and herself, Elspeth didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, Yelena was also holding her stomach and laughing non-stop on the side.“Elspeth, they say that you’re practically the ideal person that girls these days want to marry. Congratulations! You’ve attracted a large number of female fans through this drama. I’ve never seen such a strange comments section before. Haha!”Elspeth held her forehead in her palm as she muttered, “Although it’s not quite what I imagined, it’s not a problem.”As Yelena held Elspeth’s hand, she said with a serious face, “The closer person gets the chance first. Even if someone is to marry you, I should be the one marrying you first.”“Do you want to shoot more commercials, Yelena?” Elspeth threatened with a sly smile.As soon as Yelena heard that, she immediately withered. “I’m sorry! If you arrange more commercials for me, I’ll die right away and you’ll need to bring a big chicken drumstick to visit me at my gravestone every year during my death anniversary—” She kept complaining, causing Elspeth to have a headache from listening. So, she covered Yelena’s mouth with her hand and made her continue reading the comments.Things were going so well but suddenly, a strange twist happened.The number of viewers for their drama dropped somehow. Elspeth carefully searched for the problem and found that all of their audience had gone to watch ‘Song of Viollenys’!“What’s going on?” She frowned. Suddenly, Timothy, who was next to her, had an unpleasant expression and he said in a serious tone, “Elspeth, take a look at the news.”Shock overtook her when she saw it. It was written in bold letters that the novel ‘The Moment I Met You’ on which the drama was based had been exposed for plagiarism! They even put this novel side by side with another novel and highlighted the parts that were plagiarized. In an instant, everyone was turning against ‘The Moment I Met You’, and the ratings were plummeting. Coupled with their fellow peers in the industry maliciously discrediting them, the ratings hit rock bottom.“What should we do, Elspeth? I remember reading this novel before, but no one pointed out the plagiarism.”With a nod, Elspeth replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll see what’s going on.” She checked the IP address of the article and sure enough, it was from the entertainment company where Emma was. Seeing that, she squinted her eyes while cruelness flashed in them. So, you’re still not being honest, huh? Well, if that’s the case, don’t blame me for retaliating!
