Chapter 181 If It Weren’t for Elisa!
Meanwhile, Linda took her time and carefully picked out what to wear and made herself up before setting
off.
She had spent the entire night thinking about how she would greet Old Madam Wickam. On the way
there, she rehearsed what she would say, fearing that she would forget what to say to her.
Unfortunately…
When she arrived at Wickam Manor, Julia was not there. She stared at the butler in confusion.
“Mr. Jones, is Grandma not in?”
“She just left.” He nodded.
Linda was surprised. “Where could she have gone so early in the morning?”
“The young master came to pick her up first thing in the morning. Along with Miss Elisa, the three of them

headed for Lumineer Temple.” He answered honestly.
“Lumineer Temple?!” Linda was shocked. Why on earth were the three of them going there?!
Also!
Why did Gareth come to pick up Grandma? And why did Elisa that b*tch go with them?!
Mr. Jones nodded, but didn’t say much.
Linda took a deep breath and reined in her emotions. She smiled at him, “Well then… Do you know what
time Grandma will be back?”
“I’m not too sure.”
Linda’s fingers clenched tightly around the giftbox in her hand. Because of yesterday’s incident, she had
carefully selected a gift that would please Julia. She needed to gain Grandma’s approval now that she
had lost the support of some of the Wickam family members.
If Grandma approved of her, Gareth’s father wouldn’t be too far off.

But how would she get her approval if she continued to stay in contact with Elisa?!
Urgh!
Linda was frustrated. But she couldn’t say much in this current situation. She smiled at Mr. Jones and
nodded, “I see.”
She was thinking of what to do next when she heard footsteps coming from the stairs. She looked
towards the sound and saw that it was Monica. She grabbed at the opportunity. “Mrs. Wickam…” She
sobbed.
She didn’t need to say anything else. Monica immediately understood.
Monica sighed, “My dear child. You have suffered much.”
Linda shook her head vehemently. “I have not suffered at all. I came to see Grandma, but I didn’t know

that she would be out.”
Monica’s eyes flashed with anger. “If it weren’t for Elisa!”
Elisa parted her lips as if she were about to defend Elisa, but Monica stopped her. “Don’t defend her.
Come inside with me. Your mom called me yesterday and there are some things we need to discuss.”
Linda’s eyes glimmered. She nodded obediently, “I’ll do whatever you say.”
Monica nodded in satisfaction and led her upstairs.
Mr. Jones watched all this go down. After pondering slightly, he sent out a text message.
—— Alphonse Jones: ‘Young Master, Miss Linda has just arrived. It seems that last night Mrs. Meek had
called Mrs. Wickam. It sounded like they are plotting something.’
Gareth had just arrived at Lumineer Temple when he received the message.
Placing his phone back into his pocket, he brought the two ladies into the temple.
The abbot had sent someone to greet them as he knew that they were coming. Seeing their arrival, the
monk stepped forward and bowed in greeting, “Namaste. The abbot has been waiting for you. Please
come with me.”
The elderly woman was filled with excitement. She nodded in thanks, “Please lead the way, brother.”
