CHAPTER 545 NEWS INTERVIEW
"Outrageous? What do you mean by outrageous?"
Elspeth looked at her with a small smile, but that woman felt a chill go down her spine.
Then, she straightened her back and continued imperiously, "You know you are cousins with Callum
but still choose to marry him. Don't you think that's outrageous?"
It was as if Elspeth marrying Callum had robbed the woman of her marriage.
"From the looks of it, it seems like you're very interested in Callum."
The woman was unnerved by Elspeth's words. They were surrounded by reporters, so she needed to
be careful of her words.
"Callum is a famous golden bachelor in Damoria. Any girl would like him."
She avoided the question, but anyone could hear the admiration for Callum in her voice.
"Too bad. He won't like you even if he is single."
Even though Elspeth's words were condescending, they still held some truth to them.
The woman before her was average at most, and the way she spoke was also annoying. So, it was
understandable that Callum wouldn't even spare her a glance.
The reporters surrounding them immediately raised their cameras and snapped away at the shocking
statement.
That woman was afraid of becoming the laughingstock, so she disappeared into the crowd.
Then, Elspeth scanned the crowd before asking, "Who else has questions?"
"Miss Lynwood, we have one. Since it's revealed that you and Callum are cousins, would you still be
with him?"
She gave him a kind smile. "Of course not. Since this is such a big scandal, we would definitely
divorce."
Divorce! That one word stirred up the crowd as a glint shone in the reporters' eyes. They knew they
had made the right decision to come here.
"Then, when are you going to divorce him?"
"Divorce? Just like that? Are you really willing to let go?"
"What are your plans after the divorce? Are you going to remarry or—"
Someone else interrupted. "Marry me! I've liked you for a long time, Elspeth!"
"Look at yourself! Are you worthy of her? She should marry me instead!"
Elspeth felt it was enough and was about to go in when someone blocked her.
"Miss Lynwood, I'm a reporter from the Sun Gazette. May I interview you personally?" That person
asked in a serious tone without a smile that was rare to see among reporters.
Elspeth was taken aback and regarded him with a look. "What's your name?"
"Tomas Mayer."
"Okay. You may come in."
The people standing behind them lamented that they had allowed such an excellent opportunity to slip
through their hands when they saw that this nobody had so easily obtained Elspeth's trust. If they had
picked up the courage to ask earlier, they would be the lucky star interviewing her.
The door closed, once again blocking the ruckus outside.
Elspeth asked Tomas to sit as she went to the kitchen to cut some fruits and brought over two cups of
tea.
"Miss Lynwood, is the divorce you talked about just now true?"
She tucked her hair behind her ear. "Of course. Now that things have reached this stage, if I don't
proceed with the divorce, how else am I going to stop the gossip?"
"But it's known that you both love each other deeply. So, if you divorced him just like this, wouldn't it
greatly impact your relationship?"
"Yes. That will happen." She had a sad expression. "I don't know what is going to happen after the
divorce. But for my reputation, I have to do this."
Tomas was emotionless, but his hands kept on writing. "When are you planning on finalizing the
divorce?"
"Friday." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Normal procedures?"
Elspeth laughed lightly. "No. I want to go to court."
Tomas' hands trembled, and he looked down to see a splotch of black ink on the paper.
Then, he changed to a new sheet of paper while asking, "Why go to court?"
She looked around and made sure no one was near them before whispering, "Actually, our relationship
isn't as good as it seems. We lost feelings for each other a long time ago. It's just that this scandal
broke out right in time and gave me this opportunity to do this."
This was huge news, and Tomas' heart couldn't stop pounding against his chest.
"Is it really necessary to go to court?"
Elspeth touched the bracelet on her hand and looked at him mysteriously. "Outsiders don't know this,
but Callum's father gave me 15% of the Winthrop Family's shares. Callum feels that this belongs to the
Winthrop Family. So, if we are to divorce, I would have to return the shares."
Tomas' eyes widened, and his jaw slackened at this information. She smiled at him. "Don't worry. 15%
worth of shares is quite a large amount. I wouldn't give it up so easily."
"Yes. Since it was given to you by Mr. Winthrop, Mr. Callum has no right to ask for it."
Elspeth leaned back lazily on the couch. "Yes. Since even you understand this, I know this very well
myself. But Callum won't let me off easily, so he's going to take it back forcefully."
"So, there's no way to avoid this lawsuit, right?"
She smiled like a cunning fox. "Yes. But I've hired the best lawyer. It won't be easy for him to snatch
these shares from me."
Tomas nodded. "Besides the shares, is there any other conflict between you two?"
That was what Elspeth was waiting for. "Ah… This… You guys sure like to get to the bottom of
things…" Her tone was slightly coy as she tossed her hair back before donning a serious expression.
"Alright. I'll tell you the truth, but you can't tell anybody about this."
Even though she said that the person sitting opposite her was a reporter, it was impossible to ask him
not to report this.
Tomas wasn't dumb. He knew she wanted to use this opportunity to tell him something and heightened
his focus. "Please do."
"The reason why Callum is mean to me… is because he found out that I like someone else." Elspeth
furrowed her brows, looking distressed.
"You like someone else?" Tomas got excited at the bomb that dropped.
"Yeah, but I can't tell you his name yet. So, if you really want to know, you've got to find this out
yourself." Then, Elspeth stretched and yawned, hinting that she was tired. "As for the rest… Well, that
wouldn’t be any fun if I told you, wouldn't it? Ms. Layme, see him out, please."
