Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 90

Ophelia truly hadn’t expected Elspeth to be so capable to dig up so many clues. She trembled in fear, and her legs

were barely supporting her as she almost fell to her knees.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Weren’t you debating with me with such eloquence just now? Why are you so

quiet now?”

Elspeth smiled as she saw how shaken Ophelia was. She knew right then that the information she dug up was

bona fide evidence.

“I didn’t! These are all fake; you faked them!”

At this moment, Ophelia could no longer keep her calm. She couldn’t help the trembling in her voice, and as she

looked at Elspeth’s confident expression, she felt like the world was spinning.

Elspeth continued asking. “Then, explain to me how these things can be faked. If you don’t believe the photos, you

can get the videos tested to see if they’re authentic or not.”

Callum stood at the side. When he looked at the evidence tossed onto the table, he was genuinely shocked.

He had never thought that Ophelia would be the person who harmed Margot. Ophelia was the little girl who had

grown up with him in the Winthrop Family, and she would cry when she accidentally stepped on an ant. He couldn’t

believe that she would hurt her own family.

“You have to explain yourself, Ophelia.”

He was still willing to give Ophelia a chance to deny these things.

“I… Callum, you know me. Mrs. Winthrop is so nice to me, so why would I harm her?”

Callum took a deep breath. “After all this, how can I trust you?”

T

He was about to say something, but at the next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Arthur was making

his rounds with a nurse, and when he saw the three standing there in confrontation, he let out a chuckle. “What’s

going on? Looks like you have a serious situation here.”

“Arthur…” Ophelia bit her lower lip and sent Arthur a pleading look. “Arthur, how can I possibly be the culprit who

harmed Mrs. Winthrop and that Lydia girl? I don’t know that girl at all, and I’m closest to Mrs. Winthrop! Why would I

harm her?”

Arthur lowered his gaze, smiling. “Of course, I believe you. Come, show me what evidence you have.”

money is for murdering Lydia. As for this photo with my mom, it was too dark and I can barely make out anything in

it. You’re clearly checking the infusion tube, so how did it turn into you pulling out the tube?”

He had instantly turned things around for Ophelia with just a few words.

Ophelia could finally calm down her anxious heart. She looked at Arthur and gave him an unwonted smile. “Yes,

Arthur, you’re still the same person who understands me best since young.”

Callum’s eyes seemed to be covered with a thin mist, and no one could decipher his true thoughts. However, a

gleam did flash across his eyes.

“Also, Mom hasn’t woken up yet, so how can we be certain that Ophelia has done all this?”

Ophelia nodded fiercely. “That’s right. If Mrs. Winthrop wakes up, she’ll prove my innocence!”

She didn’t know when Margot would regain consciousness, but she knew that she had to grab every opportunity she

could get to clear her name.

It was a good thing Arthur was here or she wouldn’t know how to get out of this situation.

“If that’s so, then Ophelia might not be the mastermind behind all this.” Callum lifted his gaze calmly. “The others

can leave. Elspeth, I have something to talk to you about.”

Arthur and Ophelia left, just as they were told.

Once they arrived at the bend in the corridor, after making sure that no one else is around, Arthur finally stopped

smiling. “You’re so careless. If I hadn’t stepped in for you, Elspeth would’ve destroyed you this time.”

Ophelia knew that he had done a lot for her, and he had also spoken in her favor. She put on a grateful expression

as she said, “Thank you, Arthur. If it weren’t for you, I would have been finished right here, right now. I might even

have had to go to jail.”

Arthur snorted. “So, what do you plan to do next? As long as my mom stays unconscious, Elspeth cannot trouble

you no matter how capable she is.”

Hearing that, Ophelia was a little stunned. “But that’s your own mom. Why-

Arthur scoffed. “My mom? She’s Callum’s mom. I’m not even related to her by blood!

When he had doubts before, he took a DNA test and discovered that he was the true outsider in the family. He had

no blood relation to the Winthrops at all.

In all those years, it was no wonder that Theodore and Margot were the most lenient on him, and also the most

distant. It was because he wasn’t even a son of the Winthrop Family in the first place!

Arthur sneered incessantly. “So, the Winthrops’ lives have nothing to do with me. Just like you, I’m simply a poor kid

whom the Winthrops took care of for some time.”

“Then, Mrs. Winthrop…”

“You don’t have to worry about my mom. I’ll think of ways to stop her from waking up. All you have to do before

Callum and Elspeth find other evidence…”

He gave her a look, and Ophelia immediately understood.

“Okay, I’ll think of a way to deal with it. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave now.”

After Ophelia took her leave, Arthur finally lifted the corners of his lips. This woman is so stupid, things might

get ruined if I continue working with her, he thought.

However, before she could get herself in deep trouble, he would think of a way to completely remove himself from

the equation.

Meanwhile, there was an awkward atmosphere around Callum and Elspeth in the ward. He was about to speak

when she broke the silence.

“I’m sorry.”

He was slightly stunned as he had never thought that Elspeth would apologize to him straight away.

She had always been a proud woman, and she would never easily show her weakness.

“I know my attitude wasn’t the best, so I’m apologizing to you. Even if you think I was falsely accusing her, or I was

too emotional in making decisions, they’re all your opinions, and I accept them.”

Elspeth noticed the obscure look in Callum’s eyes, knowing that today’s events must have further affected Callum in

a bad way.

“I believe you.”

One simple sentence was enough for Callum to state his position.

“You believe me? Why? Didn’t you say before that Ophelia couldn’t possibly be a suspect?” Elspeth was

intrigued by Callum’s words.

“I don’t mean it like that.” Callum rubbed between his eyebrows. “I never suspected Ophelia before this because we

grew up together. But today, I’m suspecting her because I noticed a tiny detail.”

Elspeth stared straight at Callum’s face. “What is it?”
