His appeased anger had returned entirely, but Elisa had no idea what had occurred in Gareth's
thoughts.
"Is this explanation good enough?" she asked composedly.
It was such a perfect explanation that they could not put together a comeback.
Gareth looked so cold and menacing that the people around him shuddered fearfully.
Who is he directing his anger to? Is he angry with Elisa or us because we have been questioning her?
While everyone worried about the outcome, he suddenly instructed, "Continue."
From that response, they knew that Gareth had believed Elisa and wanted her to remain.
We must have antagonized Mr. Wickam by attacking Elisa together just now! He's unhappy with us
now.

Throughout the entire meeting, everyone was tense. Long after Gareth left, they heaved a sigh of relief.
On the way out, they discussed among themselves quietly.
"What do you think he means? Why did he suddenly continue the meeting? He should pursue the
matter further."
"But… if he trusts Elisa, why did he ask her to explain herself just now?"
They fell silent again, feeling something was off but unable to place their finger on it.
In a nutshell, everyone left with conflicted feelings.

tasks to her unless she volunteered. Apart from that, they even reminded her not to overwork, which

Suddenly, she received a call from an anonymous source and quickly picked it up.
"Hello."
As she spoke, she tightened her hold on her phone nervously – this would happen every time she
received a call from the anonymous caller. Apart from that, she also felt great anticipation for a
surprise.
She was also worried that the mysterious caller might use her to do something heinous.
At the very worst, she might not be able to notice the malicious intent.

Even if she could, she might have been threatened. If that happens, what should I do?
Linda was stuck in a rather tricky situation.
In the call a few days ago, that person told her it was time for her to shine.
It was highly likely that she would be asked to do something in this call.
"Wickam Group changed another security software. I won't attack them anymore."
Linda was momentarily stunned, but she soon returned to her senses. "This will show how
impenetrable Gareth's software is and portray a false impression that Elisa's involvement in the
previous software was the reason for the hack."
"That's right."
Linda frowned and asked hesitantly, "Everyone will be suspicious, won't they? Elisa is Black-Eyed
Susan, after all."
The anonymous caller snorted.
