Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Kidnapping

With that in mind, Elspeth posted all the evidence on the Internet.

When the post was released, it spread like wildfire. This time, the post confirmed everything Ophelia

had done. The news about the unsuccessful attempt of Ophelia—the daughter of the renowned

Fleming Family—to frame Elspeth became viral on the Internet and was the most discussed topic in

various forums and social media platforms.

The stock market of Fleming Group plunged instantly, and the company was on the verge of collapse.

Ophelia initially thought that Elspeth was only suspicious of her, but she didn’t expect her to have

evidence in her hand! Just like that, the angelic image that she had painstakingly built with all her might

dissipated instantly. There was even a high chance that she might have to be charged for what she did.

“Ophelia, I didn’t know that you would do something like this…” Margot was the most devastated at the

news. She did not expect Ophelia, whom she had watched growing up, to be so ruthless!

Elspeth looked at the stricken Ophelia and grinned. “That incident in Death Canyon and the rumors

online that accused me of plagiarism. Ophelia, don’t you feel a bit guilty after everything you’ve done?”

Ophelia knew that denying it would be a futile attempt now, so she sobbed and explained, “I’m sorry. I

wasn’t thinking straight. My friends taught me all these and said that this was the only way I could be

with Callum. I’m sorry. I did this because I love him too much. Sorry…”

Elspeth felt absolutely nothing in the face of her crocodile tears. In fact, she felt rather amused. “You

love Callum? To show your love to him, you drugged him and wanted to trick him into sleeping with

you, huh?”

Ophelia stopped crying abruptly and stared at Elspeth in a daze. A trace of unease surged inside her.

Callum’s face sank in displeasure as he demanded, “Did you do it, Ophelia? Did you drug me?”

Ophelia parted her lips nervously, but no words came out of them. Everyone in the Winthrops was on

Elspeth’s side after seeing the evidence, and no one would listen to her. Hence, her explanations would

be taken as nonsense. She lowered her head, her face ashen.

“This is your business now. Please leave me alone.” After she said that, she headed to the door.

“Elspeth,” Margot suddenly called out to her.

“Yes?” Elspeth turned and asked, “What is it, Mrs. Winthrop?”

Margot cleared her throat and muttered, “O-Ophelia has done so many bad things, but that is because

she loves Callum too much. I apologize to you for her. C-Can you please take down the post on the

Internet? People will look down on her.”

She had always liked Ophelia, who was so sweet and soft-spoken, so she couldn’t bear to see her in

such a dismal state.

Elspeth rolled her eyes and sneered, “Oh?! So, her behavior was justifiable when she made a mistake,

but I had to be kicked out of the house because I was accused without proof?!” Do I look like such a

pushover?!

Margot looked a little embarrassed due to her request as she sighed and mumbled, “Please, I beg you.

Can you do me a favor?”

Elspeth glared at Ophelia coldly. “I never dirty my hands unless I have to. So, she has no one to blame

but herself.” With that, she left without hesitation, ignoring Margot’s plea.

Margot knew that she got the short end of the stick, so she didn’t say anything else.

Even though she knew that the Winthrop Family would help Ophelia to settle this drama, she still felt

utterly disgusted when she watched the news about Ophelia on the Internet gradually disappear.

Nevertheless, Ophelia’s actions were not without consequence, as her kind image was wholly

shattered. This matter also drove a wedge between her and the Winthrop Family. One could even say

that it was a good lesson for Ophelia.

Sure enough, for nearly a week after that, Ophelia never bothered Elspeth again, nor did she show up

in the Winthrop Family’s residence or the company. Elspeth thought that she preferred to stay out of

public because she was avoiding the limelight and repenting for her actions.

This afternoon, Elspeth was ready to go home after work. She was about to go through the motions

when she felt something nagging at her as soon as she arrived at the underground garage.

In the next second, seven to eight brawny men appeared behind her and charged toward her. When

they saw Elspeth, they immediately rushed toward her. Although she was skilled in martial arts, she

was severely outnumbered, so she smashed her handbag into the nearest man’s face and turned to

flee.

Just as she was about to run to the garage door, a foot suddenly stretched out from the side and

tripped her. Then, those men swarmed over and tied her up.

The person who tripped Elspeth was none other than Ophelia. She slowly raised her head, her eyes

dripping with venom. “Elspeth, I’ve been waiting for you for three whole days, and here you are!”

Elspeth frowned at the implications behind her words. Then, Ophelia started laughing maniacally. “I told

you I won’t let you off the hook. It would be best if you just kept your mouth shut, but no, you have to

force me into a dead-end! I’ve been suffering these days. Do you know that?! Thanks to you, the

Winthrops and Callum despise me!” She clenched her fists tightly and shrieked.

Elspeth was relatively calm as she replied, “I think you only have yourself to blame…”

Slap! Ophelia slapped Elspeth’s face harshly. Ophelia used so much strength in the slap that Elspeth’s

cheek instantly swelled.

“Shut the hell up! I wouldn’t have become like this if it hadn’t been for you! Callum was nice to me, but

he hasn’t smiled at me ever since you were around! Everything changed from the day you came! Didn’t

you have a good time in the village? So, why did you have to come back?! Why?!”

Ophelia’s nerves were already frayed, and it worsened when she noticed Elspeth’s indifferent

expression. She started strangling Elspeth, and her fingernails ruthlessly stabbed into her flesh. “Say

something! Why aren’t you saying anything?! You look down on me, don’t you? You ruined my

reputation, so don’t even think about getting away with it!”

Elspeth knew that she had to remain calm and quiet in this scenario. She couldn’t fight back for fear of

irritating her even more.

After Ophelia had vented her anger, she was in a significantly better mood. So, she waved the men off,

and the men took Elspeth away. Unfortunately, Elspeth was also blinded and thrown into a van.

The journey was bumpy, and approximately one or two hours later, they arrived at a remote and Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

isolated place.

Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat. Ophelia is indeed cautious and meticulous. She ordered her men to

take me to a place in the middle of nowhere so that I couldn’t escape easily.

One of the men pulled her hair and dragged her into a dilapidated room. She was thrown toward the

wooden bed in the house, and her shoulder slammed into the bed frame. Their manhandling cost her

significant bruising; she could already feel her shoulder burning.

Three men were guarding the house, while the remaining four men entered the house. They grinned

lecherously as they leered at the beautiful Elspeth helpless and on the bed.

“Boss, look at her! She looks so tender and flawless. I bet it must be fun to sleep with her!”

“I’ve never slept with such a gorgeous woman. Tsk tsk, Miss Fleming is so kind to introduce us to such

a pretty woman.”
