CHAPTER 546 WINTHROP GROUP AT STAKE

As expected, a news article from the Sun Gazette took the internet by storm at 5.00AM the next day.

The news described the Winthrop Family so differently than what was known to the public that

everyone felt they were lied to.

'What? They're getting a divorce?'

'Not just a simple divorce. They're going to court!'

'I heard Callum wanted Elspeth to return the shares Mr. Winthrop gave her. Is he still a man?'

'What? Callum isn't wrong. Elspeth was the one who cheated.'

'Whoever marries Callum has bad luck. Look at that personality of his. Since she cheated, it just means

that she couldn't take his s*itty attitude anymore.'

'Are you crazy? How could you justify her cheating just like that?'

'When are they going to divorce? Will there be a banquet?'

…

On the other hand, far away in the Bluestone Corp, Arthur had a satisfied grin when he read the news.

When he swiveled his chair around, he saw a fidgeting Tomas sitting on the couch, so he graced the

poor man with a gentle smile. "Are you sure that you heard her say that she likes someone else?"

Even though he was happy that she didn't like Callum anymore, he couldn't let go of the fact that she

had fallen in love with someone else.

"Yes. She told me that herself. But I feel like she was lying to me."

Yes. That. Arthur finally felt relieved and relaxed a little.

"Good job. I'll transfer the money as promised."

Tomas smiled, and a hint of pride filled his handsome face. "I actually didn't do a lot. I was lucky that

Elspeth took notice of me and told me everything."

The smile on Arthur's face froze slightly. "You say she took notice of you?"

Tomas had not realized he had said the wrong thing and continued on, utterly oblivious, "Yes. It feels

like she was pretty interested in me. She was even speaking sweetly to me. But I held my ground and

only asked her questions."

The first time Tomas saw Elspeth, he was instantly enamored.

She was alluring yet enchanting. Of course, it definitely helped that she was gorgeous. His eyes

couldn't help but widen when he saw her slender, fair legs underneath the nightgown.

More importantly, he noticed how she would glance at him here and there in secret. Didn't this mean

that she was interested in him?

By now, Arthur's smile had become dangerous. Tomas was too confident for his own good and naive to

boot.

"Then, I should reward you. You've done more than I asked for."

However, Tomas shook his head, a little embarrassed. "It's alright. It's nothing. I just did what I should. I

—"

Before he finished his sentence, a punch suddenly landed on his face, and he fell back onto the couch.

Arthur massaged his stinging knuckles and scoffed, "Who do you think you are? Do you really think she

will like you?"

Although Tomas was infuriated by that blow, he still suppressed his anger as he thought about how

powerful Arthur was.

"I didn't mean that. I meant to say that she trusts me."

Arthur smirked, "You still want to continue?"

Tomas was frozen stiff from the dangerous glint in his eyes and shook his head furiously.

"No. No. I didn't mean that. She doesn't trust me…" Tomas struggled to find the words.

Only then did Arthur let him go. "Scram. Don't tell anyone about this and that you came here."

Tomas nearly knelt when he heard that and let out a breath of relief. "Thank you, Mr. Winthrop. I'll take

my leave now."

Then, he scurried from the office.

Arthur stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the darkness in his eyes was as clear as day. No

one can touch Elspeth.

…

On Friday, it was the day everyone had been waiting for. Finally, Elspeth arrived at court and was

surrounded by a group of people at the entrance, practically salivating as they waited for the juicy

gossip.

A few brave reporters stepped forward but were warned off by Yelena as she gritted out the words,

"Drop the questions. You'll know everything once it's finalized."

Hank, who was standing by the side, also shot daggers at them with icy eyes seeing that his lover was

angry. His stare was enough to frighten them away.

The reporters thought that they could get lucky like Tomas did the last time but was faced with such a

different treatment. However, they couldn't complain about Yelena and Hank protecting Elspeth. In the

end, no one dared to cross the line.

"Please be patient, everyone. Everything will be revealed when the court has come to a decision."

Elspeth smiled knowingly at the reporters and walked inside.

After them, the next group of people to arrive was Callum.

Just as a leather shoe stepped down from the car, the reporters all swarmed forward to take a better

look.

The assistant immediately called security to lead the way.

"Please move aside and let Mr. Winthrop pass."

When they sensed that they wouldn't be able to interview him, a reporter shouted, "Mr. Winthrop, is the

news true? Do you really want to take back the 15% worth of shares from Miss Lynwood?"

However, Callum shot him an icy side glance, and the reporter immediately shut up.

The rest of the crowd also wisely read the atmosphere and dispersed, fearing that they would lose their This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

jobs if they lingered any longer.

The wait began. After a long time, both parties came out with gloomy faces. No one knew what had

happened.

Yet, Elspeth and her friends seemed to be in a slightly better mood as she was smiling.

The reporters were clever as they approached Elspeth, who was known to entertain the reporters from

time to time.

"Miss Lynwood, what's the update?"

However, before Elspeth could speak, Yelena tilted her head upward and spoke proudly, "With my

boyfriend here, who can possibly win over the best lawyer of Damoria on our side?"

Hank looked at her with warm eyes, utterly unfazed by her prideful boasting, and allowed her to do

what she wanted.

"What's the final judgment?" a reporter pressed anxiously.

Regardless, Elspeth wasn't going to tell them so easily. "It's rather inconvenient for me to tell you at the

moment. I'll announce this when the time is right."

It's just that the way she said it made it seem like she wasn't on the losing end.

After they observed the divorced pair for some time, the reporters quickly concluded that it was

apparent that Callum had lost the case.

To outsiders, Callum was utterly defeated by Elspeth.

So, the Winthrop Group's shares kept dropping for the next few days.

Unfortunately, before they could do anything about that, the Winthrop Group's internal management

seemed to be in trouble. One of their employees posted online anonymously, claiming that the

administration wasn't doing well and that the company would close down.

This was when everyone realized that the ever-thriving Winthrop empire they knew was just a façade

as the company was actually on the verge of collapsing.

Suddenly, several parties started taking advantage of the situation, which worsened the Winthrop

Group's position.
