Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Protecting Her

Seeing Callum act like this made Elspeth lose interest in the matter. “You sure are a gentleman, Mr.

Winthrop.”

Hearing her words, he turned stern. “Ophelia’s family has run into some problems lately, so three

million is a lil’ tricky for her. I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Naturally, Elspeth was aware of this, which was why she did it on purpose just to make things hard on

her. Yet, she did not want to keep up this farce upon seeing how protective he was toward her. “It’s fine.

You can keep it, Mr. Winthrop.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

After all, what she wanted was not money.

The scene before her made her feel like she was an outsider. She paused for a while before exiting the

ward. The fact that Callum and Ophelia were no longer in sight eased her instantly.

As Elspeth headed to the garden to cool off, she saw a bunch of people surrounding a girl, about to do

something to her.

“What are you doing?” Elspeth stepped forward and grabbed onto the lecher’s hand that was about to

touch the girl before flinging it aside. Subsequently, she stood in front of the girl with a cold expression.

That man’s arm was almost dislocated from the force. Yet, just as he was about to fly into a rage, he

suddenly saw the woman standing before him was much more beautiful than the girl, so he decided to

put on a facade.

“Miss, I didn’t do anything bad. It’s this girl that stole my money. All I want is to get my money back. I

don’t have any other ulterior motives…” Although the man explained with a smile, his gaze maintained

on her body.

“Stole your money?” Elspeth turned around and looked at the girl behind her with questioning eyes.

Glancing at her, the girl replied timidly, “I didn’t steal his money! This is my money! I didn’t steal it from

anyone!”

“What a load of bull! Everyone here saw it. You sneakily reached out and stole the ten thousand I

prepared!”

Frightened, the girl shivered. “I didn’t! This is my money, you liar!”

Watching the situation unfold, Elspeth understood that the man knew the girl had ten thousand with

her, so he purposefully framed her, hoping he could grift that money with the public’s help.

“You say that’s your money. Where’s your proof, then?” Elspeth looked at him with a hint of interest.

The man held his head up with pride and replied, “The money is mine. All these people around me saw

it. That is the best proof.”

“These so-called people are the gangsters around you, aren’t they?” She looked at the less-than-

savory crowd and sneered.

“Who are you calling gangsters? You’d better take a look at your situation! If you know any better, make

yourself scarce! Otherwise, don’t blame us for whatever happens next!” The man threatened before

reaching out, yet he was sent flying away by a kick from her.

Crashing onto the ground, the man groaned in pain. “How dare you hit me! Get that b*tch! Show her

what it means to cross us! Don’t say we didn’t give you a chance, you wench!”

Livid, the man wanted to skin her right there and then. Yet, the gangsters hesitated to attack after

seeing how easily the man was subdued.

“What are you all standing around for? She’s alone! Are you all incapable of defeating a single woman?

Get her!”

The gangsters gulped while looking at the calm Elspeth. With clenched teeth, they decided to strike in

the end.

However, it was a walk in the park for her to deal with these immature gangsters. With every kick she

made, a person fell. In less than a minute, the gangsters were lying on the ground with groans heard all

over the place.

“Boss, we can’t do it! This woman is too good. We simply aren’t her opponents!” one of the gangsters

spoke through gritted teeth while having bruises all over his body.

“Idiots! You’re all useless fools!” the man scolded his subordinates fiercely, feeling uneasy after seeing

how effortlessly Elspeth dispatched his group.

Suddenly, he focused his gaze on the girl behind her and smiled evilly before pouncing at her.

Seeing through his intentions at first glance, Elspeth shielded the girl and kicked the man squarely in

the chest.

“Argh!”

With another kick, the man felt like the pain was about to kill him. What did I do to deserve this?!

“I’m gonna count to five, and all of you disappear from my sight. Otherwise, it won’t end with just a

simple beating.” She then extended her fingers before starting the count. “Five.”

“It was this girl that stole my money. Why should I be the one to get lost?”

“Four.”

“Goddamn it, let’s go!” The man was terrified that something worse would befall them, so he waved and

scampered away with the rest of the gangsters.

“Are you alright?” Elspeth asked the trembling girl.

The girl shook her head and did not speak before her tears suddenly fell. “I’m fine. I have to pay my

mother’s medical bills now. Otherwise, I won’t make it.”

Looking at the girl, Elspeth noted that she did not seem to come from a well-off background, so she

asked, “Why is your mother sick?”

“She has leukemia. It’s difficult to find a suitable bone marrow donor. We’ve already expended all our

savings during her stay at the hospital. I’m preparing to sell the house.”

“How old are you?”

Taking a deep breath in, the girl replied, “I’m seventeen.”

Hearing this, Elspeth became soft-hearted. “Let me help you.”

That stunned the girl. “Help me? How?”

“I can pay your medical bills and find a suitable bone marrow. You don’t have to sell your home.”

Elspeth smiled and caressed her hair.

“It’s fine. I-I can earn money.” The girl’s eyes shimmered for a brief second before flickering out. “How

can I possibly have you pay off such a large sum? Thank you!”

Looking at her guilty gaze, Elspeth suddenly had a thought. Where would a seventeen-year-old girl find

the money for such an expensive bill?

Yet, she did not voice this out, for she merely nodded and took the ring off her finger before proffering it

to the girl. “Then, let me give this ring to you. If you’re running out of money, come to me with this ring. I

can give you the money required to treat your mother, but don’t sell this. It isn’t worth much.”

If Harper had heard her, he would have laughed to his death. After all, this ring was created by the

Azure Corporation. It cost three hundred million, equipped with GPS and smart communication options;

it was virtually priceless.

Yet, in the hand of a person that did not know more, it looked just like an ordinary ring that would only

sell for a couple hundred.

“I understand. Thank you for your kindness.” The girl kept the ring away carefully.

As the girl left, Elspeth looked at her with a thoughtful gaze.

At night, Elspeth used the ring’s GPS, only to locate the girl at a local bar. Luna Bar?

Instantly, she knew that something was off.
