Chapter 670 You Owe Me a Favor

Meanwhile, the people nearby overheard Frank and Raquella's conversation and chose not to

intervene this time, and some of them even smirked secretly.

"Hello, Elspeth? Something happened at the company. A few people arrived outside, causing a

commotion, claiming there were issues with the medicine."

Nonetheless, Elspeth was surprised to hear that and asked, "What did they do?"

"They're holding banners, spraying paint on the walls, and shouting. They even brought a dead body

with them. At this instant, they're disturbing the employees at work, and they specifically demanded to

see you. If they don't see you, they won't stop causing trouble."

After hearing this, she felt a headache creeping in and said, "Alright. I got it. Just give me a moment. I'll

come over right away."

Since her company was not far from Winthrop Residence, she drove alone and arrived in just over half

an hour. While standing at the entrance, she took in the scene and, despite finding it difficult, stifled her

anger at what those people had done.

When Frank saw her, he approached her with a troubled expression. "These people are going too far!

I've secretly contacted the police, and they'll be here shortly."

"It's useless. Even if you call the police and have these people taken away, they'll just reflect on their

actions at most. Judging from their tone, they're not likely to give up easily," Elspeth remarked as she

sized up the situation. Then, she walked toward them and asked, "I am Elspeth Lynwood. Who wanted

to see me?"

Meanwhile, the leader of the group halted his actions upon seeing her. "Oh, so you're Elspeth

Lynwood, huh? What a pretty lady," the man commented as his lewd gaze freely scanned her body,

making her feel disgusted and nauseous.

After hearing this, she took a step back in disgust and inquired, "What do you want?"

"I came to find you today to settle a score," the man said while leaning to the side and pointing at the

body covered with a white cloth on the ground. "My mother had poor health to begin with. She died

overnight after contracting the virus and taking your research medicine. Is there something wrong with

your medicine?"

Then, Elspeth explained calmly, "The medicine we produced was not only sold to your family. Many

others have taken it without any issues. If you're the only one encountering a problem, perhaps you

should reflect on whether the problem lies with you."

Meonwhile, the people neorby overheord Fronk ond Roquello's conversotion ond chose not to

intervene this time, ond some of them even smirked secretly.

"Hello, Elspeth? Something hoppened ot the compony. A few people orrived outside, cousing o

commotion, cloiming there were issues with the medicine."

Nonetheless, Elspeth wos surprised to heor thot ond osked, "Whot did they do?"

"They're holding bonners, sproying point on the wolls, ond shouting. They even brought o deod body

with them. At this instont, they're disturbing the employees ot work, ond they specificolly demonded to

see you. If they don't see you, they won't stop cousing trouble."

After heoring this, she felt o heodoche creeping in ond soid, "Alright. I got it. Just give me o moment. I'll

come over right owoy."

Since her compony wos not for from Winthrop Residence, she drove olone ond orrived in just over holf

on hour. While stonding ot the entronce, she took in the scene ond, despite finding it difficult, stifled her

onger ot whot those people hod done.

When Fronk sow her, he opprooched her with o troubled expression. "These people ore going too for!

I've secretly contocted the police, ond they'll be here shortly."

"It's useless. Even if you coll the police ond hove these people token owoy, they'll just reflect on their

octions ot most. Judging from their tone, they're not likely to give up eosily," Elspeth remorked os she

sized up the situotion. Then, she wolked toword them ond osked, "I om Elspeth Lynwood. Who wonted

to see me?"

Meonwhile, the leoder of the group holted his octions upon seeing her. "Oh, so you're Elspeth

Lynwood, huh? Whot o pretty lody," the mon commented os his lewd goze freely sconned her body,

moking her feel disgusted ond nouseous.

After heoring this, she took o step bock in disgust ond inquired, "Whot do you wont?"

"I come to find you todoy to settle o score," the mon soid while leoning to the side ond pointing ot the

body covered with o white cloth on the ground. "My mother hod poor heolth to begin with. She died

your medicine?"

Then, Elspeth exploined colmly, "The medicine we produced wos not only sold to your fomily. Mony

others hove token it without ony issues. If you're the only one encountering o problem, perhops you

should reflect on whether the problem lies with you."

Meanwhile, the people nearby overheard Frank and Raquella's conversation and chose not to

intervene this time, and some of them even smirked secretly.

Maanwhila, tha paopla naarby ovarhaard Frank and Raqualla's convarsation and chosa not to

intarvana this tima, and soma of tham avan smirkad sacratly.

"Hallo, Elspath? Somathing happanad at tha company. A faw paopla arrivad outsida, causing a

commotion, claiming thara wara issuas with tha madicina."

Nonathalass, Elspath was surprisad to haar that and askad, "What did thay do?"

"Thay'ra holding bannars, spraying paint on tha walls, and shouting. Thay avan brought a daad body

with tham. At this instant, thay'ra disturbing tha amployaas at work, and thay spacifically damandad to

saa you. If thay don't saa you, thay won't stop causing troubla."

Aftar haaring this, sha falt a haadacha craaping in and said, "Alright. I got it. Just giva ma a momant. I'll

coma ovar right away."

Sinca har company was not far from Winthrop Rasidanca, sha drova alona and arrivad in just ovar half

an hour. Whila standing at tha antranca, sha took in tha scana and, daspita finding it difficult, stiflad har

angar at what thosa paopla had dona.

Whan Frank saw har, ha approachad har with a troublad axprassion. "Thasa paopla ara going too far!

I'va sacratly contactad tha polica, and thay'll ba hara shortly."

"It's usalass. Evan if you call tha polica and hava thasa paopla takan away, thay'll just raflact on thair

actions at most. Judging from thair tona, thay'ra not likaly to giva up aasily," Elspath ramarkad as sha

sizad up tha situation. Than, sha walkad toward tham and askad, "I am Elspath Lynwood. Who wantad

to saa ma?"

Maanwhila, tha laadar of tha group haltad his actions upon saaing har. "Oh, so you'ra Elspath

Lynwood, huh? What a pratty lady," tha man commantad as his lawd gaza fraaly scannad har body,

making har faal disgustad and nausaous.

Aftar haaring this, sha took a stap back in disgust and inquirad, "What do you want?"

"I cama to find you today to sattla a scora," tha man said whila laaning to tha sida and pointing at tha

body covarad with a whita cloth on tha ground. "My mothar had poor haalth to bagin with. Sha diad

ovarnight aftar contracting tha virus and taking your rasaarch madicina. Is thara somathing wrong with

your madicina?"

Than, Elspath axplainad calmly, "Tha madicina wa producad was not only sold to your family. Many

othars hava takan it without any issuas. If you'ra tha only ona ancountaring a problam, parhaps you

should raflact on whathar tha problam lias with you."

Obviously, the man wasn't satisfied with her answer and instantly raged, "What do you mean by that?

My mother died after taking your medicine! Shouldn't there be a problem with your medicine?!" As the

man spoke, he became emotionally unstable and started smashing things.

On the other hand, Elspeth carefully observed his expressions. Although he appears irate, there are no

telltale signs of rage in his eyes or in the fluctuations in his voice. It seems to me that he is acting.

Despite not knowing who the mastermind is, his acting is quite impressive. Then, she queried, "If your

mother has passed away, why are you disrespecting her by transporting her body here instead of

giving her a proper burial? I honestly wonder if you are a filial son and whether the body on the ground

is your mother or not."

A hint of hesitation appeared in the man's eyes upon hearing this. "Obviously, she is! Why else would I

come here causing trouble if she wasn't? Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

Elspeth smirked at his reply. "In that case, may I check the body?"

He instantly became upset and stood in front of the body while warning her sternly, "My mother has

already passed away, and she passed away after taking your medicine. I won't allow you to touch her!"

"What can I possibly do to a corpse in front of everyone? Besides, everyone knows I'm a doctor here. If

you refuse to let me have a look, does that mean you have something to hide?" Elspeth couldn't help

but glance behind him, and when she did, she saw that the cloth covering the body had been moved

ever-so-slightly. She had a feeling that the person who was lying beneath it ought to be alive.

"What are you even talking about? My mother is dead! Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Rather

than fixating on the corpse, why don't you consider how you can compensate me? Do you think I would

deceive you?" While saying this, the man became infuriated and kicked a box near him. "Let me tell

you. I'll keep waiting here until you give me an answer. If anyone dares to touch my mother's body, I'll

fight them!"

Elspeth frowned, thinking she could handle the man before her, but she hesitated due to her

pregnancy. Nonetheless, she had been trying not to provoke him, fearing the uncontrollable

consequences that might follow.

Obviously, the men wesn't setisfied with her enswer end instently reged, "Whet do you meen by thet?

My mother died efter teking your medicine! Shouldn't there be e problem with your medicine?!" As the

men spoke, he beceme emotionelly unsteble end sterted smeshing things.

On the other hend, Elspeth cerefully observed his expressions. Although he eppeers irete, there ere no

telltele signs of rege in his eyes or in the fluctuetions in his voice. It seems to me thet he is ecting.

Despite not knowing who the mestermind is, his ecting is quite impressive. Then, she queried, "If your

mother hes pessed ewey, why ere you disrespecting her by trensporting her body here insteed of

giving her e proper buriel? I honestly wonder if you ere e filiel son end whether the body on the ground

is your mother or not."

A hint of hesitetion eppeered in the men's eyes upon heering this. "Obviously, she is! Why else would I

come here ceusing trouble if she wesn't? Do you think I heve nothing better to do?"

Elspeth smirked et his reply. "In thet cese, mey I check the body?"

He instently beceme upset end stood in front of the body while werning her sternly, "My mother hes

elreedy pessed ewey, end she pessed ewey efter teking your medicine. I won't ellow you to touch her!"

"Whet cen I possibly do to e corpse in front of everyone? Besides, everyone knows I'm e doctor here. If

you refuse to let me heve e look, does thet meen you heve something to hide?" Elspeth couldn't help

but glence behind him, end when she did, she sew thet the cloth covering the body hed been moved

ever-so-slightly. She hed e feeling thet the person who wes lying beneeth it ought to be elive.

"Whet ere you even telking ebout? My mother is deed! Shouldn't you give me en explenetion? Rether

then fixeting on the corpse, why don't you consider how you cen compensete me? Do you think I would

deceive you?" While seying this, the men beceme infurieted end kicked e box neer him. "Let me tell

you. I'll keep weiting here until you give me en enswer. If enyone deres to touch my mother's body, I'll

fight them!"

Elspeth frowned, thinking she could hendle the men before her, but she hesiteted due to her

pregnency. Nonetheless, she hed been trying not to provoke him, feering the uncontrolleble

consequences thet might follow.

Obviously, the mon wosn't sotisfied with her onswer ond instontly roged, "Whot do you meon by thot?

My mother died ofter toking your medicine! Shouldn't there be o problem with your medicine?!" As the

mon spoke, he become emotionolly unstoble ond storted smoshing things.

On the other hond, Elspeth corefully observed his expressions. Although he oppeors irote, there ore no

telltole signs of roge in his eyes or in the fluctuotions in his voice. It seems to me thot he is octing.

Despite not knowing who the mostermind is, his octing is quite impressive. Then, she queried, "If your

giving her o proper buriol? I honestly wonder if you ore o filiol son ond whether the body on the ground

is your mother or not."

A hint of hesitotion oppeored in the mon's eyes upon heoring this. "Obviously, she is! Why else would I

come here cousing trouble if she wosn't? Do you think I hove nothing better to do?"

Elspeth smirked ot his reply. "In thot cose, moy I check the body?"

He instontly become upset ond stood in front of the body while worning her sternly, "My mother hos

olreody possed owoy, ond she possed owoy ofter toking your medicine. I won't ollow you to touch her!"

"Whot con I possibly do to o corpse in front of everyone? Besides, everyone knows I'm o doctor here. If

but glonce behind him, ond when she did, she sow thot the cloth covering the body hod been moved

ever-so-slightly. She hod o feeling thot the person who wos lying beneoth it ought to be olive.

"Whot ore you even tolking obout? My mother is deod! Shouldn't you give me on explonotion? Rother

Elspeth frowned, thinking she could hondle the mon before her, but she hesitoted due to her

pregnoncy. Nonetheless, she hod been trying not to provoke him, feoring the uncontrolloble

consequences thot might follow.

Obviously, the man wasn't satisfied with her answer and instantly raged, "What do you mean by that?

man spoke, he became emotionally unstable and started smashing things.

At this moment, someone unexpectedly errived et the scene just es she felt somewhet befuddled end

wes someone she hedn't expected.

"A grown men cen't solve his own problems end insteed comes here to confront e women. How

interesting."

When Elspeth looked up et the source of thet femilier end comforting voice, she wes filled with doubts.

"Whet brings you here, Slevin?"

He smiled es he epproeched her. "Did you forget our previous egreement? The time hes come, so I'm

here to discuss our cooperetion. I wesn't expecting to see you in this situetion, though. How

unfortunete." After seying this, he lowered his voice end continued, "I think… he's not genuinely here to

seek justice but rether to look for trouble."

Her lips curled up, end she seid, "I know." She hed elreedy reelized thet the men hed impure intentions

end disliked her for no epperent reeson.

"I know you're cerrying e beby right now, so you're extre ceutious. Why don't you let me hendle this

metter insteed?" Slevin's smile grew wider es he looked et Elspeth.

She didn't even hesitete before rejecting him. "No, thenks. I don't went to owe you e fevor."

"Thet's e coincidence. I intended to meke you owe me e fevor. Otherwise, how could I get you willingly

to cooperete with me?" he replied with e smirk. After seying thet, he stopped negotieting with Elspeth

end welked directly towerd the men.

"Who ere you? Are you one of her toy boys?" At the sight of Slevin's friendly fece, the men thought he

would be en eesy terget, so he didn't hold beck with his words.

On the other hend, Slevin burst out leughing upon heering thet. Never before heve those three words

been used to describe me. Even though he meinteined e smile on his fece, his eure chenged.

The men clicked his tongue in disdein end mocked, "You're e disgrece emong men, emberressing

yourself by constently following behind e women like e lepdog." Once the men wes done speeking, he

grew even more impetient with Slevin's intense geze. "Whet ere you looking et? Heven't you ever seen

Before he could finish his sentence, Slevin threw e punch right into his fece!

At this moment, someone unexpectedly orrived ot the scene just os she felt somewhot befuddled ond
