Chapter 15 Elspeth Is Missing

• "Oh, really? Who are you, then? Does Max know who you are? Are you worthy of him?"
• The young woman's expression froze, but it quickly turned into a sneer. "How dare you come to school with Max! Girls, let's show her what we got."
• As soon as Max found out that Elspeth was cornered in the bathroom, he felt a little reluctant to head over. If it had not been for his father's orders, he would not have cared about her safety at all! However, he was shocked when he arrived at the bathroom.
• Sheila Lewson and her friends were school bullies who loved bullying others because they came from prominent families, but at this moment, they were running out of the bathroom with their tails between their legs. Some even had slap marks on their faces with messy, wet hair.
• This very sight made Max's lips twitch. Then, he saw Elspeth exiting the bathroom casually. She was still wearing the black t-shirt from this morning with her hair tied up in a ponytail, which made her look young and in high spirits. However, most importantly, she looked like she was unaffected.
• "They…" He cast a glance at the fleeing Sheila and her companions.
• "They were about to hit me, but I managed to beat them up first."
• According to his knowledge, Sheila was a trained fighter!
• Elspeth added, "I didn't expect that you'd have so many admirers despite being an average Joe. It seems like they're not only dumb but also have bad taste in men."
• Hearing that remark, Max was furious. I shouldn't have bothered with this woman!
• For the rest of the day, no one came to bother her. The last session for today was physical education class and she watched the guys playing basketball while sitting on the bleachers.
• A while later, she felt a vague pain in her stomach and frowned slightly. Oh no. I forgot to take note of the date…
• She was not afraid of anything, except for her menstrual cycle as the pain was excruciating! While having one hand on her stomach, she slowly got up and left the basketball court for the convenience store outside of the school gates. However, she failed to notice that a few people were trailing behind her…
• Two hours later, Callum had finished his work when his assistant came into his office. "Mr. Winthrop, I found it. The person who broke your record at Death Canyon last night was Miss Lynwood."
• "Who did you just say?" He raised his eyes to look at the assistant.
• "It was Elspeth Lynwood."
• Callum was usually very calm when facing everything, but he actually felt surprised this time. It was Elspeth? Wasn't she with Arthur the whole day yesterday?
• Since his hobby was racing, he was also curious about who had broken his record, which he had defended for a year. Therefore, he asked his assistant to investigate this matter. To his surprise, the results he got were beyond his expectations. Elspeth Lynwood. This woman is so mysterious. A smile flashed across his eyes, but the phone on his table suddenly rang.
• "Callum, something bad happened. Elspeth is missing!" Max only found out about her disappearance after he finished playing basketball. She was not picking up her phone and she was also missing from home upon being notified by the servants. Since he was afraid of telling Theodore, he decided to call his eldest brother for help.
• When Callum heard the news, his face fell.
