At this point, Julia couldn't help but sigh, her eyes filled with profound helplessness. After several
hesitant attempts to speak, she finally said again. "It's not right for you to repay Grandma's debts, but
these people insisted on finding a couple with an auspicious birthdate to attend the wedding. We
searched everywhere, and you and Gareth seemed to be a perfect fit. So, can you help Grandma out?"
Julia knew this was part of the show for the crowd.
Despite the family's unethical decision to change their surname from Smith to Wickham to exploit their
association with the Wickhams, Julia saw this wedding as a promising opportunity. She had no choice
but to continue fabricating lies to bring them together.

Elisa was taken aback as Julia's visit was related to this matter. The complexity and turmoil in her eyes
were evident.
She couldn't disregard the sincerity in Julia's eyes. The elderly eyes, no longer as sharp and bright,
held a faint veil.
Elisa's gaze briefly fell upon Gareth's aloofness, and her frustration broiled.
After much hesitation, Gareth finally spoke softly, "Grandma, as long as you can rest peacefully in the
hospital, I will attend this wedding with Lis. You can trust us."
Before Elisa could utter a word, she was met with Gareth's low, steady voice by her side.
Elisa was furious.
How could he? Elisa never wanted to go to the wedding, and now he agreed to Grandma's idea.

She resisted the urge to scream but chose to stay silent in front of Grandma.
Upon hearing Gareth's statement, Grandma's spirits lifted instantly. She responded cheerfully, "Okay!
You can go to the wedding. I will focus on my treatment."
The message was clear.
Elisa felt helpless and sighed, unable to protest any further. She continued chatting with Julia and even
provided her with a hand massage.
After Julia and Thomas left, Elisa's smile faded, and she turned coldly towards Gareth and shot at him,
"Gareth, are you out of your mind? Did you not hear what I previously told you about? Are you an

idiot?"
She blurted those words angrily.
Gareth calmly explained, "Grandma went out of her way to come here, and the conversation had
already reached that point. We couldn't possibly let her down, could we?"
"I know I made the promise to Grandma without your consent, but I assure you, this will be the last
time."
Gareth had no interest in attending any wedding.
However, he didn't want to miss any chance with her. Grandma's efforts made him believe this wedding
could be a turning point.
Elisa's simmering anger erupted as she unleashed a torrent of scathing words upon Gareth.
