Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Rope Them In

Callum didn’t bother answering Elspeth’s question as he took out his laptop with his unhurt hand and started working.

She shrugged indifferently at his non-response. Then, she, too, took out the laptop she carried with her from her bag and wanted to uncover the mastermind behind the ambush. She found out about the men’s criminal organization based on their facial features as well as their recent call records and monetary transactions. All the clues led her to Alphascape Group.

“Callum, do you know who the mastermind behind this attack is?” Elspeth asked tentatively.

“Alphascape,” he answered curtly while typing on the keyboard swiftly.

She gasped in surprise. “How did you know?”

He replied in a mellow and calm voice, “Recently, our shares have risen sharply, and our venture in the jewelry industry is booming. We have almost monopolized the low-end jewelry market and are climbing closer to high-end products. Who do you think is the most worried party now?”

“Alphascape was upset because of the failure of the cooperation last time, and they didn’t get a share of the pie. So now, they are jealous of our results. This is why you think they have the motive, right?”

“You’re very smart.” Callum smiled, which was a rare occasion.

Elspeth was surprised at his quick thinking. But then, she thought of something else and asked another question, “What are you going to do now?”

She had always been a vengeful person. She would not touch those who left her to her own devices, but if she were attacked, she would ensure that her attackers got a taste of their own medicine. Alphascape Group ambushed them, so she would not let them off the hook!

A piercing gleam flashed across his eyes. “I won’t spare them, of course.”

When she learned that he would make a move, she was relieved.

Margot called when Callum stayed in the hospital for two days. So, Elspeth improvised as she claimed that they couldn’t return home because they were working overtime in the office. Fortunately, Edmund was on a business trip in the past few days, so no one exposed their lie.

Only when Callum’s hand almost recovered did he officially return to work. Both Callum and Elspeth did not come to the office these days. When they returned this time, she realized that there were some unfamiliar faces in the company.

As soon as he returned to work, Callum held a senior management meeting to discuss the cooperation plan for the next phase. “At this phase, I will stabilize the low-end jewelry market and invest a lot of money to develop high-end jewelry…”

When he proposed his idea, her eyes lit up after hearing his proposal, and she recognized what he was planning.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.” A doubtful remark suddenly echoed across the quiet conference room. Callum raised his eyes and looked at the man not far away, his gaze turning cold.

“What do you have in mind?”

Elspeth shifted her gaze over. The person who raised his doubt was Houston Bishop, the head of the company’s HR department. He was always on his high horse, to begin with. Today, he was even more arrogant and rude than usual.

“Mr. Winthrop, have you forgotten how to make a proposal just because you skipped work for a few days? Our low-end market is not stable yet, and the products are selling like hotcakes. If we rashly introduce high-end products, the development may not be as expected, and we will lose a lot of money. Who will be responsible for such a possibility?!” Houston rebuked aggressively.

“No, we won’t,” Callum continued. “The continuous development of low-end products will only lose the consumers’ interests, not to mention that we will be limited to this market and miss the best chance to venture into the high-end market.”
