Elisa walked forward with a smile as if nothing had happened in the day. She looked like she was in a
good mood.
Julia smiled and looked at Elisa, but when she realized that Gareth was behind Elisa, her brows
furrowed, and the smile in the corner of her mouth lightened.
The next moment, she couldn’t help but ask him, “Why are you here?”
Upon closer inspection, one could hear the displeasure and resentment in her voice.
Gareth was taken aback.
The smile in the corner of Elisa’s lips deepened.
She glanced at Gareth before looking at Julia and speaking softly.
“I think his presence is a little unnecessary. Grandma, why don’t you get rid of him?”
Julia was a little astonished. Elisa had never said such a thing to her before.

Did the brat infuriate her obedient granddaughter?!
Julia’s expression turned nasty in an instant.
“You brat. Did you do something to Liz again?”
Gareth was dumbstruck.
Elisa’s lips curved slightly. She didn’t look at Gareth but held Julia’s hand and said softly, “Nothing
happened, Grandma.”
“Nothing?” Julia’s brows furrowed tightly. Liz had never spoken like that before. Something was clearly
up!
Gareth narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on Elisa. “Tell us. How could I bully you today?”
‘How could I bully you?’
Not ‘how did I bully you?’

Julia’s gaze changed slightly. A complicated expression was intertwined within. There was a different
meaning.
When Julia thought about it, she looked at Elisa, whose face had turned slightly red.
Julia was baffled, while Elisa was dumbfounded.
Elisa looked at Gareth coldly as if warning him.
He wasn’t in a hurry to talk about it either.
But Julia grew curious and she looked at Elisa suspiciously. “Liz, what did he do to you?”
Elisa was stumped.
Gareth’s lips twitched, and although there was ridicule in his eyes, Thomas would realize that his boss
was in a great mood if he was around.
Elisa took a breath in and held Julia’s hand before saying in exasperation, “It’s not that. I’m slightly
annoyed that people in the company are talking about us because of our past, so I feel slightly repulsed
when I see him.”

Gareth’s brows wrinkled slightly, and he walked to sit across from them. He didn’t say anything, and
even though his face was dark, the air around him wasn’t as cold.
Julia frowned at once. “Are there people talking nonsense again?”
“Mm. There are.” Elisa nodded without hesitation.
Gareth’s brows furrowed. He had heard about gossip in the company, but Elisa might have heard
worse.
Has she suffered a lot?
When he thought about it, he suddenly saw Elisa raise her eyes and look at him with a half-smile. His
eyes flickered ever so slightly.
Julia said slightly unhappily, “What did they say?”
“They said…” Elisa sighed and shook her head in frustration. “It’s fine. I better not say, as it would only
ruin the mood. I can just ignore what others say. I shouldn’t get angry or take my anger out on Gareth.”
Gareth frowned slightly. Why did he feel that something was up?
