Chapter 3 I Am Not Short Of That

After exchanging some pleasantries, Theodore brought Elspeth to her room. It was spacious and bright with delicately gorgeous decorations alongside everything one would need.

“Elsie, do you like how your room is decorated? I can get someone to redecorate if you don’t like it.”

“Mr. Winthrop, I like it a lot. Thank you.”

Looking at the elder before her, she felt a little complicated. She had seen him many times since she was young and he had always been nice to her, but as she thought about that, she was reminded of her deceased father and her expression fell uncontrollably.

“It’s been a tiring ride. Take a rest and I’ll get you when it’s time for dinner.”

Nodding, she turned back into her room to arrange her things.

After dinner, Theodore pulled her over for a chat on the couch and pulled out a bank card before giving it to her. “Elsie, take this. Let the five boys bring you on a tour of Damoria tomorrow and buy whatever you want.”

“Thank you for your kind gesture, Mr. Windthrop, but I don’t need this.”

Right after she said that, she saw Margot with a disapproving expression out of the corner of her eye before the lady taunted, “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. There’s no need to be so pretentious. Didn’t you come here for our money?”

“Margot Luvon!” Theodore roared.

“Did I lie? Why are you screaming at me?”

Feeling her lips twitch, Elspeth wondered how she had offended Margot. After a good while of reasoning, she finally managed to refuse Theodore’s kind gesture. It was then the phone by her side rang.

“Elspeth, the company made a profit of 382 million this quarter, which I’ve already credited to your account.” She smiled. I, Elspeth Lynwood, am never short of money.

The first day went by just like that. When she woke up the following day, she heard from the butler that Theodore had already left to deal with company matters. Meanwhile, the five young masters were having breakfast at the dining table and their father had told them earlier to bring her around the city.

Just as Elspeth sat down, Callum spoke in his deep voice, “I have a meeting at the company today. The rest of them will hang with you.” After he said that, he put down his cutlery, got up, and left.

The other four followed suit as well. “I’m sorry, Elspeth. Unfortunately, I must rush to a shoot today, so I can’t bring you around.”

“I have two operations pending at the hospital today.”

“I have to go on a business trip.”

“I have class.”

Elspeth was at a loss for words.

The five men left the dining table one after another as she rolled her eyes and continued eating her breakfast. Following that, she spent the entire day in her room. By late evening, her phone on the table rang.

An excited voice sounded from the receiver. “Elspeth, Elspeth! Are you in Damoria?”

“Is there anything you need?” she answered coldly.

“You didn’t even tell me you came to Damoria. How sneaky of you! I don’t care. We must have dinner, right now!”

“I’m not going.”

“If you don’t, I’ll head to the Winthrop Residence to get you.”

Elspeth had no words to retort.

Half an hour later, she notified the butler and left the villa alone.

After having dinner with Harper Summerfield, she was forcefully dragged to a high-end bar in Damoria.

“Elspeth, the Winthrops didn’t mistreat you in any way, did they?”

“Who could?” she sneered.

Laughing awkwardly, Harper said, “That’s true…” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Recalling the things Elspeth had done before, he thought it should be the other way around. Elspeth should be the bully instead of the target! Though she might look stunning, she was pretty much a devil.

“So, are you really planning on getting engaged to one of the Winthrops?”

“I don’t know.” She sipped on her wine and answered half-heartedly.

If it hadn’t been for Dad, I wouldn’t have arrived at the Winthrop Residence. Now, I just have to go with the flow.

As the two were in the lobby of the bar, they were clueless that someone had been staring at them from the private room on the second floor.
