Chapter 1587 Gareth’s Secret Scheme
This was the pivotal moment.
After much contemplation, Will chose to swallow his words in the end.
He spoke softly, "Our collaboration, like last time—the latest jewelry and fashion show could be your
chance to make a grand comeback upon returning home, don't you think?"
There was a discernible sparkle in his eyes, and a broad smile formed on his lips.
He had faith in Elisa.
She would have forgotten about their collaboration if Will hadn't brought it up.
To showcase their jewelry and fashion statements, they had to participate in the esteemed 'Sparkling
Gems' competition, collaborating with Benett Group and Darcey Group to launch new products.
She had multiple responsibilities, including attending to the family's needs, showing up at Julia's

cousin's wedding, the launch of new products, and managing the Western Suburbs project.
And not to mention—her own mum!
Elisa's head throbbed as the weight of her responsibilities overwhelmed her.
Right when Will was about to speak, Elisa's phone rang.
Lynn's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she glanced at her phone.
"I'm sorry, but I need to take this call," she said apologetically.
It was Thomas.
He chose to call Elisa instead of meeting her in person.
Elisa pursed her lips and asked him coldly, "What is it?"
In a somber tone, Thomas pleaded, "I know you helped Gareth for Madam Wickham's sake. Now, I
desperately need your assistance. Can you lend me a hand? I don't know who else to turn to..."

He was visibly distraught.
Thomas and Elisa had met; after all, he was Gareth's most trusted assistant.
During his stay in Moranta and even after returning, Thomas had always wished for Elisa and Gareth to
reconcile.
As such, Elisa was somewhat skeptical of Thomas's request.
"Thomas, what is this about?"
Tears welled up as Thomas implored, "Ms. Benett, you know who I am. Would I lie about the health of
my family? My grandfather... he's been coughing for a long time. It's critical—he's coughing up blood,
struggling to breathe. Can you please check on him? Help us out? Please?" Thomas's voice quivered.
Witnessing the declining health of a beloved family member could be distressing. Despite her wariness,
Elisa could empathize with the situation.
Nonetheless, each issue should be dealt with separately.
Elisa's brow furrowed as she responded, "If he's in the hospital, it means he's already receiving

treatment and out of the critical period. Once I finish my tasks, I'll come over to visit your grandfather.
Don't worry."
There was still unfinished business between Elisa and Will. Elisa couldn't leave to attend to Thomas's
needs.
Nonetheless, Elisa was steadfast in her principles.
Yet, she made a startling revelation when he called her.
Unaware of his own habits, there was a subtle yet discernible undertone of scrutiny and urgency
whenever Thomas attempted to deceive her.
Therefore, Elisa determined through the phone call that Thomas was toying with her.
And Gareth was up to something.
Meanwhile, Thomas thought that his emotional plea would quickly get Elisa to forsake Will for him.
