Elspeth had never been faced with such a difficult choice.

Looking at Callum's fiery stare, she gritted her teeth and grabbed Arthur's arm, saying, "You were the

one who said things ended between the two of us a long time ago, so don't come looking for me again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Elspeth was afraid that Callum would say something vulgar again,

so she hastily dragged Arthur away. "All right, didn't you just say that you were going to show me

something fun? Let's go now."

While being pulled forward by Elspeth, Arthur was inwardly surprised, as if he could not believe that

she had chosen him. But nonetheless, she had made her choice. He thus turned back to send a smug

look at Callum. He was the one who won this round!

Behind him, Callum had an unreadable gaze. He couldn't figure out what Elspeth was thinking, but

since she had done so, and right in front of him no less, she must have her reasons. I'll just ask her

later.

At that thought, he breathed in deeply, letting go of his displeasure. Still, he couldn't help but think that

Elspeth holding Arthur's arm really was a sore sight.

Meanwhile, Elspeth dragged Arthur to the stage nearby and only eased up once Callum disappeared

from her sight.

"You are really strange today." Although he was immersed in the joy of his earlier victory, Arthur did not

completely lose his senses and looked at Elspeth teasingly instead.

"Of course not. You said it yourself that he abandoned me first. I'm just doing what he wants." Elspeth

tried her best to act as if she detested Callum. The purpose of her visit today was not to deal with the

mess between the three of them but to find Rayan and get his scimitar.

Upon seeing her drifting gaze, he asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

She had just left Callum, so she clearly wasn't looking for him.

"If I tell you, you have to keep it a secret for me." All of a sudden, she regretted dragging him over, but

since he asked, she had to dismiss him with a reply somehow.

Upon seeing that she did not have even the most basic trust in him, Arthur frowned. "You can't be so

suspicious of me now because I treated you badly in the past, can you?"

"Who knows if you'll suddenly change your mind and find a chance to get me killed?" Elspeth refuted,

unable to fathom his temper at all.

These words naturally elicited Arthur's surprise. Upon seeing her wariness toward him, he put up three

fingers and swore, "In that case, I'll give you my word now. As long as you don't interfere with my

business, I absolutely won't lay a finger on you again."

Once the peace contract was signed, it was a done deal.

Feeling much more relieved, Elspeth said, "Alright, I'll tell you now. The reason I came to work in the

red light district was to get the medicinal herb capable of curing Isabel's disease. The price I was

offered was Rayan Adler's scimitar, and I heard that he was coming over today to take part in the

Fashion Week, so I wanted to give it a go."

As soon as she spoke, Arthur's expression faltered slightly, and he inquired in a low voice, "Tell me the

truth. You're not going to just steal it, are you?"

Elspeth shook her head. "Of course not. A figure like him must have a lot of bodyguards protecting him.

If I try to steal it from him, that's nothing more than a death wish."

"Then, what are you planning to do?" Arthur slightly relaxed at her words, thinking that she was right.

Besides, she was never a foolhardy person who would do something without a plan, so she must have

her own ideas.

"I'm planning to… make him willingly hand it over to me," Elspeth said with a bright smile.

As he looked at the familiar smile on her face, Arthur knew what she was scheming. "Wait, you're using

the honey trap again?"

Elspeth scoffed coldly. As she chatted with him, she glanced around, observing her surroundings until

her eyes finally locked on a rotund man.

"Okay, we're done talking here. I'm heading over now."

After bidding goodbye to Arthur, Elspeth sashayed to the man's side and pretended to leave a casual

remark. "That pink dress really is hideous."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately noticed that the man beside her had moved his

gaze to her in interest. She had found out a long time ago that Rayan hated pink, especially the shade

mauve, and rumor had it that he would get short of breath and gasp for air whenever he wore

something pink. Although it was merely a rumor, it was enough to prove that it was true that he didn't

like pink.

Seeing that, Elspeth added fuel to the fire by continuing, "Pink has never been a luxurious color in the

first place, and this is even the color that I hate the most. How ridiculous."

As soon as she spoke, the man immediately walked toward her. "Excuse me, do you hate this pink

outfit too?"

Once the peace contract was signed, it was a done deal.

As she expected, he took the bait.

Elspeth nodded with a regretful expression. "That's right. I didn't expect that. I liked all of the previous

outfits, but I just can't bring myself to like this one."

"We really are like-minded. I don't like pink either, especially mauve."

Elspeth spoke exceptionally well in Edenese, enough for her to pass off as a Charic woman who lived

abroad. When the man saw that Elspeth was not only beautiful but also shared the same opinion as

himself, he immediately took a liking to her. Although he was a hooligan who enjoyed visiting the red

light district, he was a cultured hooligan. The Adler Family was prestigious, so he had his fair share of

cultural enrichment growing up.

For the first time, Rayan only felt admiration and appreciation toward a pretty woman instead of having

any sinful thoughts about her. He asked, "Miss, would you allow me the pleasure of treating you to a

meal?"

Upon seeing his gentlemanly invitation, Elspeth hesitated in a reserved manner. However, she only

hesitated and did not immediately refuse, not knowing if this man would suddenly lose interest in her.

"That's not a problem, but I'm not free tonight. We can set the date for tomorrow."

In other words, she was indirectly asking for his contact information.

Understanding her intention, Rayan took out a name card and handed it to her. "This is my phone

number. You can contact me when you're free."

Elspeth was good at playing hard to get, and when she saw Rayan's disappointed expression, she

knew that she had already achieved half of her goal.

"Of course. I'll definitely get in touch."

Elspeth extended her lithe hand and carefully accepted the name card before putting it into her bag.

Then, pretending to inadvertently notice someone she knew in the distance, she revealed a look of

surprise and said, "My friends are waiting for me over there. I'm going to have a few words with them

now."

Rayan followed her gaze and saw a group of men who seemed to be of high caliber. A sense of

indignation emerged in his heart at the sight, but he could not let it show.

"Why don't you tell me your name and phone number, and I'll contact you?" he offered, not wanting her

to forget about him the next day.

Elspeth pursed her lips into a smile. "Of course, you can."

He had fallen for her trap hook, line, and sinker.
