Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 670 You Owe Me a Favor

Meanwhile, the people nearby overheard Frank and Raquella's conversation and chose not to

intervene this time, and some of them even smirked secretly.

"Hello, Elspeth? Something happened at the company. A few people arrived outside, causing a

commotion, claiming there were issues with the medicine."

Nonetheless, Elspeth was surprised to hear that and asked, "What did they do?"

"They're holding banners, spraying paint on the walls, and shouting. They even brought a dead body

with them. At this instant, they're disturbing the employees at work, and they specifically demanded to

see you. If they don't see you, they won't stop causing trouble."

After hearing this, she felt a headache creeping in and said, "Alright. I got it. Just give me a moment. I'll

come over right away."

Since her company was not far from Winthrop Residence, she drove alone and arrived in just over half

an hour. While standing at the entrance, she took in the scene and, despite finding it difficult, stifled her

anger at what those people had done.

When Frank saw her, he approached her with a troubled expression. "These people are going too far!

I've secretly contacted the police, and they'll be here shortly."

"It's useless. Even if you call the police and have these people taken away, they'll just reflect on their

actions at most. Judging from their tone, they're not likely to give up easily," Elspeth remarked as she

sized up the situation. Then, she walked toward them and asked, "I am Elspeth Lynwood. Who wanted

to see me?"

Meanwhile, the leader of the group halted his actions upon seeing her. "Oh, so you're Elspeth

Lynwood, huh? What a pretty lady," the man commented as his lewd gaze freely scanned her body,

making her feel disgusted and nauseous.

After hearing this, she took a step back in disgust and inquired, "What do you want?"

"I came to find you today to settle a score," the man said while leaning to the side and pointing at the

body covered with a white cloth on the ground. "My mother had poor health to begin with. She died

overnight after contracting the virus and taking your research medicine. Is there something wrong with

your medicine?"

Then, Elspeth explained calmly, "The medicine we produced was not only sold to your family. Many

others have taken it without any issues. If you're the only one encountering a problem, perhaps you

should reflect on whether the problem lies with you."

Obviously, the man wasn't satisfied with her answer and instantly raged, "What do you mean by that?

My mother died after taking your medicine! Shouldn't there be a problem with your medicine?!" As the

man spoke, he became emotionally unstable and started smashing things.

On the other hand, Elspeth carefully observed his expressions. Although he appears irate, there are no

telltale signs of rage in his eyes or in the fluctuations in his voice. It seems to me that he is acting.

Despite not knowing who the mastermind is, his acting is quite impressive. Then, she queried, "If your

mother has passed away, why are you disrespecting her by transporting her body here instead of

giving her a proper burial? I honestly wonder if you are a filial son and whether the body on the ground

is your mother or not."

A hint of hesitation appeared in the man's eyes upon hearing this. "Obviously, she is! Why else would I

come here causing trouble if she wasn't? Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

Elspeth smirked at his reply. "In that case, may I check the body?"

He instantly became upset and stood in front of the body while warning her sternly, "My mother has

already passed away, and she passed away after taking your medicine. I won't allow you to touch her!"

"What can I possibly do to a corpse in front of everyone? Besides, everyone knows I'm a doctor here. If

you refuse to let me have a look, does that mean you have something to hide?" Elspeth couldn't help

but glance behind him, and when she did, she saw that the cloth covering the body had been moved

ever-so-slightly. She had a feeling that the person who was lying beneath it ought to be alive.

"What are you even talking about? My mother is dead! Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Rather

than fixating on the corpse, why don't you consider how you can compensate me? Do you think I would

deceive you?" While saying this, the man became infuriated and kicked a box near him. "Let me tell

you. I'll keep waiting here until you give me an answer. If anyone dares to touch my mother's body, I'll

fight them!"

Elspeth frowned, thinking she could handle the man before her, but she hesitated due to her

pregnancy. Nonetheless, she had been trying not to provoke him, fearing the uncontrollable

consequences that might follow.

At this moment, someone unexpectedly arrived at the scene just as she felt somewhat befuddled and

was someone she hadn't expected.

"A grown man can't solve his own problems and instead comes here to confront a woman. How

interesting."

When Elspeth looked up at the source of that familiar and comforting voice, she was filled with doubts.

"What brings you here, Slevin?"

He smiled as he approached her. "Did you forget our previous agreement? The time has come, so I'm

here to discuss our cooperation. I wasn't expecting to see you in this situation, though. How

unfortunate." After saying this, he lowered his voice and continued, "I think… he's not genuinely here to

seek justice but rather to look for trouble."

Her lips curled up, and she said, "I know." She had already realized that the man had impure intentions

and disliked her for no apparent reason.

"I know you're carrying a baby right now, so you're extra cautious. Why don't you let me handle this

matter instead?" Slevin's smile grew wider as he looked at Elspeth.

She didn't even hesitate before rejecting him. "No, thanks. I don't want to owe you a favor."

"That's a coincidence. I intended to make you owe me a favor. Otherwise, how could I get you willingly

to cooperate with me?" he replied with a smirk. After saying that, he stopped negotiating with Elspeth

and walked directly toward the man.

"Who are you? Are you one of her toy boys?" At the sight of Slevin's friendly face, the man thought he

would be an easy target, so he didn't hold back with his words.

On the other hand, Slevin burst out laughing upon hearing that. Never before have those three words

been used to describe me. Even though he maintained a smile on his face, his aura changed.

The man clicked his tongue in disdain and mocked, "You're a disgrace among men, embarrassing

yourself by constantly following behind a woman like a lapdog." Once the man was done speaking, he

grew even more impatient with Slevin's intense gaze. "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen

—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Slevin threw a punch right into his face!NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
