Chapter 451 Frank, You Liar
The instant Frank's words registered in the other two's minds, Elspeth and Callum immediately entertained various ulterior motives of their own.
Elspeth gasped in astonishment when she thought about the repercussions of Frank's actions. If the walking time bomb, Jethro, had seen the email, he would probably regard her as a heartless and cruel person.
As for Callum... When he heard that his uncle had worked so hard to solve a massive problem for him, he immediately decided to gift the car to Frank.
"Please don't take such liberties again. At least inform me about the situation beforehand."
Elspeth sighed in resignation. At this point, those words might just be the final push needed for Jethro to give up on her completely.
In any case, she did not know whether she had made the correct decision.
Frank nodded and seemed somewhat absent-minded. "Okay, okay. But I have a question for you."
She raised an eyebrow at him. "What is it?"
"That is... Do you have a woman called Agnes Braille working at your company? Can you give me her contact details?"
Agnes Braille? How did Agnes get into trouble with this devil in disguise?
Still, she noticed that he did not seem to hold a grudge against Agnes, so she couldn't resist probing further, "What grudge do you have against Agnes?"
Her response immediately elicited a sharp retort from Frank, "Do I look like such a troublemaker?"
"Why else would you suddenly demand her contact information? She is a good and honest woman."
"It's... Oh, just leave me alone. Can't you just give me her contact information?"
Elspeth had never seen the abnormal flush that crept up Frank's face before, but she immediately understood the reason behind his strange request.
"I can give you her contact information… On one condition."
Frank quirked a seemingly disinterested eyebrow at those words, but his voice betrayed his anticipation, "Speak. What is your condition?"
"You are not allowed to give any of my information to Callum!"
He glanced at Callum, who was standing nearby. Then, he looked back at Elspeth with a troubled expression. "Are you blackmailing me?"
"That depends on how you look at it. But, of course, if you truly want Agnes' contact information, you should know how to make that happen, yes?" Elspeth merely sniffed proudly and tilted her head at him.
She took a seat on the couch and crossed her legs elegantly. Her posture screamed nonchalance, as though she was confident that he would give in to her demands.
"Fine. In that case, I have to apologize to Callum…"
She nodded with a smug smile upon receiving a satisfactory answer. Then, she tapped on her phone lightly with her fingertips and sent him Agnes' phone number.
Frank narrowed his eyes at the sight of Agnes' profile picture in the background. Meanwhile, several schemes began forming in his mind.
Since he had gotten what he wanted, he rose to his feet and prepared to leave. "In that case, I won't disturb your alone time together any longer. I have some urgent business to deal with, so I'll be taking my leave now."
She couldn't bring herself to expose his lies when she saw his impatient and excited expression painted across his face. It was clear he wanted to leave and possibly bother poor Agnes.
"Fine. Go ahead."
Frank smiled and patted Callum on the shoulder, then he leaned close to Callum's ear and whispered, "What I said earlier was just a tactic to get what I want. I'll tell you more when I have the time."
Elspeth was not deaf, so she naturally heard his words clearly.
"Frank! You liar!"
She gritted her teeth in frustration as she threw the pillows on the couch at Frank.
Frank hastily yanked open the door and ran out without a moment's delay.
The pillow slammed into the door weakly before sliding to the ground in despair.
"How annoying."
