Chapter 381 A Lot of Thugs

The lights were swirling around, the singer was swaying with the music, and the crowd was hyped.

Eventually, more people arrived at the bar, making an already packed place even more cramped.

Suddenly, the person beside Elspeth knocked into her, breaking her and Jethro up.

Elspeth gasped. If she were to fall among the crowd, she could be badly hurt. A bad case of

stampeding just happened in an entertainment center in Herodonia, where a lot of people died. Will I

die tonight?

Yet, she didn’t fall. Instead, she fell into someone’s embrace. It was a familiar embrace. When she

opened her eyes, she saw Callum. His face was dark as if he was holding his anger back. “Callum?

Why are you here?”

As expected, Callum didn’t answer her question. Instead, he pushed her up. Elspeth scratched her

nose and took a few steps back. “Thank you.”

“Welcome. Be careful next time.” And then he left.

Elspeth opened her mouth, but she held back what she wanted to say. Forget it.

“Where are you, Elspeth?” Jethro called out to her from behind.

Elspeth turned around. Just when she was about to call out to him, she smelled a familiar scent again.

Callum had returned after leaving. “What’s wrong? Do you need anything?” Elspeth wondered what he

was doing.

“There are a lot of thugs here and they tend to stir up trouble. You should go home if you have nothing

else to do here.”

Elspeth was wondering why he was saying that. For some reason, the mention of ‘thugs’ reminded her

of Jethro. Weird. I have a feeling he’s talking about Jethro. No, no way. “But…” Someone’s looking for

me.

She never got to finish her sentence because Callum loomed over her, keeping her out of anyone’s

sight. Not even Jethro noticed her when he was just inches away from her. Only when Jethro had left

did Callum step aside. Then, he pretended not to know Elspeth.

That made Elspeth snap. You’re taken, so stop flirting with me. What the hell are you doing? She shot

him a glare. “What do you want?”

“Okay.”

“No!”

“Okay.”

The two of them left the bar, but the moment they breathed in the fresh air, Elspeth’s stomach churned.

Unable to help it, she bent over and retched.
