Elisa smiled gently as she turned to Julia. “Grandma, shall we continue to walk ahead?”
Julia nodded happily. “Sure, let’s go.”
Gareth was rendered speechless.
It seemed his previous talk with his grandmother was useless.
Otherwise, she would not have looked at him with only disdain. There was not a hint of the conflicting
emotions from before.
This proved that she no longer cared about that matter.
Without his grandmother’s help and support, it would be even more difficult for Gareth to achieve his
aim.
Gareth had never felt frustrated with anything until now.
He frowned and disliked the feeling.
Still, he kept quiet and followed them. Although he maintained a distance from them, he made sure to

remain within their sight.
Elisa had gotten used to many things. Furthermore, there was little disagreement between her and
Gareth. Since she would be collaborating with him in the future, it did not feel awkward when she spent
time with Julia.
They suddenly paused before a flower called black-eyed Susan.
Julia was surprised to see the flower. “Why is there such a flower here?”
Gareth arched his eyebrows slightly and stepped forward. He said calmly, “This flower is called black-
eyed Susan.”
“Black-eyed Susan?” Julia frowned slightly. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Elisa remained silent.
Gareth’s eyes flickered with amusement when he noticed Elisa seemed slightly deflated. Then, he said
calmly, “Hmm, there seem to be many such flowers in the backyard.”

“The name of this flower sounds terrible. Should we change it?”
Elisa smiled. “Grandma, although the name sounds strange, they don’t mean it literally.”
“Is that so?”
Gareth did not speak, so Elisa briefly explained the origin and meaning of black-eyed Susan.
Julia nodded after hearing her. “I see. It sounds all right then.”
Elisa smiled and did not say anything.
On the other hand, Gareth smiled and said, “There’s an organization known worldwide called the Three
Musketeers. Grandma, have you heard about it?
Julia nodded immediately. “I’ve heard about it. Didn’t someone called Black-Eyed Susan hack into our
company’s confidential information?”
Elisa did not know what to say.
Gareth glanced at Elisa with a vague smile. “Yes, it was her.”

Julia frowned. “Did you offend her?”
“I guess so.”
Gareth looked at Elisa as he said that.
Elisa glared at him but did not speak. However, her glare only made him smirk.
On the other hand, Julia frowned. “But I heard the Three Musketeers would never do something bad.
Even though they collect payment for what they do, they are still principled. Why would they target
Wickam Group? What did you do to offend them?”
“Perhaps Black-Eyed Susan thinks I’m disloyal?”
Julia was rendered speechless.
She did not notice Elisa’s expression had darkened.
At the same time, she did not catch what her grandson was implying and pursed her lips indignantly.
“Why? Did Black-Eyed Susan like you? Why have I never noticed your popularity among the ladies?”
He couldn’t even take care of Elisa properly. How dare he try to woo other ladies?
Julia was unable to conceal the disdain in her gaze. She believed her scoundrel of a grandson was on
the verge of becoming an unwanted bachelor.
Elisa smiled and felt Julia had become even better at dealing blows to Gareth’s ego.
Gareth pursed his lips but remained silent.
