Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 676 Twin Sisters

"What? You don't want to?" Callum pondered momentarily and added, "The previous family doctor of

the Winthrop Family resigned and went home to get married. If you don't mind, I can offer you a

monthly salary of 45 thousand, which can be increased depending on your performance."

45 thousand! As Wesley contemplated his meager intern salary of just a few hundred per month,

temptation crept into his thoughts. Then, he quickly shook his head and stated, "That's not it. Don't I

need some kind of assessment for this?" After careful consideration, he made a decision rooted in

honesty and self-awareness. "As an intern with limited experience, I'm afraid I may not have the

necessary skills and expertise to handle these responsibilities effectively."

"You have a sense of responsibility, humility, and ability. Experience is something that will come with

time." Callum briefly commented on his strengths and raised his hand to look at his watch before

realizing the substantial amount of time that had elapsed. Suddenly, he realized he couldn't afford

further delay and uttered, "If there's nothing else, come with me."

Surprised by the sudden turn of events and the unexpected good news, Wesley nodded. "I understand.

I'll pack my things right away!"

"There's no need to pack. Just come with me. The Winthrop Family will take care of your preparations."

After hearing this, Wesley felt like he was in a dream, nodding incessantly.

Back at the Winthrop Residence, Callum ensured that Wesley was taken care of by instructing the

butler to escort him to his designated living quarters. Then, Callum turned his attention to Elspeth and

tucked her in.

Wesley claims she has been eating cold-natured foods for the past few days. Fortunately, we would set

aside a small portion of the daily meals as a contingency plan for unforeseen circumstances.

As Callum meticulously assessed the meals in the freezer, a sense of unease settled upon his face,

mingled with a tinge of suspicion. The disquieting revelation that most of the meals, excluding Margot's

dinner from the previous night, consisted of a combination of cold-natured ingredients triggered alarm

bells in his mind. A surge of relief engulfed him when he realized that last night's meal remained

untampered. However, this realization only heightened his apprehensions regarding potential

tampering with the remaining meals.

Consequently, he promptly summoned the kitchen staff, including the nanny, two assisting maids, and

the butler, who typically supervised their activities.

After a while, the four stood in a line before Callum, and the butler was the first to speak, "Mr. Winthrop,

I did not instruct anyone to do this. I truly do not know of this matter."

The butler had been with the Winthrop Family for several years and didn't seem like someone who

would be involved in such actions.

However, the nanny became anxious when she heard that. "Mr. Winthrop, I have watched you grow up.

How could I possibly harm your child?"

Callum looked at her anxious expression, which didn't seem fake, so he shifted his gaze to the other

two maids. He observed that these two girls appeared to be identical twins based on their

resemblance.

"Mr. Winthrop, we would never do such a thing!"

After listening to the group of people sobbing and wailing, he felt a severe headache.

"All right. Stop arguing. Tell me, who has been grocery shopping for the past few days?"

The three of them hesitated and exchanged glances before one of the girls raised her hand. "It was

me."

"Why did you buy these foods?"

The girl lowered her head and replied, "I just bought them based on the usual items we consume. I

didn't intentionally purchase any cold-natured food to harm Mrs. Winthrop."

Callum's gaze flickered, and he nodded. "It seems that I was overthinking."

Nonetheless, she believed he would stop doubting her and flashed him a grin. "Mr. Winthrop, you are

perceptive and will not wrong the innocent!"

As he observed her grin, his attention shifted to the nanny. "What are her usual responsibilities?"

The nanny looked embarrassed and said, "They look so similar, so I didn't pay particular attention to

which one is the older sister and which is the younger sister." Considering only two of them, it makes

little difference who does what.

Then, Callum approached the two girls, and one of them blushed when she saw him getting closer. "Mr.

Winthrop—"

The other girl, who was already timid, felt even more insignificant when she saw his calm demeanor

that revealed no joy or anger.

"What are your names?"

Callum asked, and the girl, who looked livelier, blinked. "I'm Faith Davenport, and she's Hope

Davenport."

"Which one of you is the older sister?"

Faith blushed even more when she heard this question and covered her face. "I'm the older sister. My

younger sister is quite shy."

"Do you listen to her?"

She was taken aback by that question and rebuked, "Why would I? She's the shy one, so she usually

listens to me."

Callum sneered in response. "Why did you act according to her gaze when I asked you earlier?"

After hearing this, Faith turned pale, and she stammered, "I… I didn't. You must have mistaken it."

"Do you believe I didn't perceive the signals she was giving you? While unsure why you confessed,

don't hold me accountable if you fail to disclose the truth. I've cautioned you already," he stated, his

voice laden with the weight of his impending ultimatum.

In the meantime, Faith's anxiety heightened, realizing that Callum was not jesting. She approached

cautiously and inquired, "Mr. Winthrop. If I tell the truth, will everything be alright?"

"I can't guarantee that, but if you don't tell the truth, you'll be someone else's scapegoat." He saw that

she didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, so he added, "I have never mentioned that Mrs.

Winthrop experienced any harm from consuming cold-natured food. How did you know?"

After hearing this, she abruptly dropped to her knees with a thud. "I'll tell you everything. In fact, I didn't

buy any of those ingredients!"

Meanwhile, Hope stood by her sister's side, a sense of unease creeping over her. She couldn't shake

the feeling that something was amiss, causing her apprehension to grow.

"Why did you admit to it then?"

"Those ingredients were bought by my sister, Faith. I'm Hope. She told me that if I took the initiative to

admit this, you would treat me differently because you like someone who takes responsibility—" When

Hope said these words, tears streamed down her face as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Callum felt like he had heard an immense joke and snapped, "Didn't you find something wrong when

you said that? Admitting a mistake would make me treat you differently? You plotted against the person

I hold precious in my heart. Do you think I would easily forgive you? If you're coveting Mrs. Winthrop's

position in the Winthrop Family, let me tell you now, with your face and your foolish mind, I will never be

interested in you in this lifetime."

Hope hadn't anticipated the situation would escalate to such an extent. Her face flushed bright red, and

overcome with shame, she could not lift her head. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Your actions have warranted this punishment, and even if I were to silently end your life, you would

deserve it," Callum seethed, his anger reaching an unprecedented level. He leaned down, his gaze

piercing the trembling woman before him, his voice turning icy cold. "Tell me everything you know," he

demanded, his tone brooking no further resistance.

Despite her fear, Hope understood the gravity of the situation and, fueled by what had been said

earlier, a certain resentment toward Faith grew within her. Summoning her courage, she decided to

speak up. "Faith did it because she received benefits from someone else!"
