Chapter 2048 Confrontation

With a change of attitude, Kaylee was no longer behaving as timidly as she used to be. Raising an eyebrow, she said disdainfully, “Do I need to bring a fruit basket to see if you’re dead or alive? Perhaps I should have brought chrysanthemums instead:”

Elisa looked at Kaylee with a hint of surprise. She doesn’t even bother to pretend anymore.

It seemed the time had come to speak frankly. Elisa tucked her loose hair behind her ear, her gaze fixed intently on Kaylee as if trying to see right through her. “I’m not dead. You must be quite disappointed. After all the effort you put into your scheme, I’m still unscathed.”

A mocking curve tugged at the corner of Elisa’s mouth, and she was regarding Kaylee with a hint of pity int her eyes.

That was the look that Kaylee hated the most. She really detested being looked at with pity, as that would remind her of some unpleasant memories.

Even though all of that was in the past, and she was no longer the country bumpkin from the mountains, why did she still have to recall those memories?!

There was a faint glimmer of madness in Kaylee’s gaze as he looked at Elisa as if she had lost her mind. She stared at Elisa ominously.

If looks could kill, Elisa reckoned she would’ve died a thousand times by then. why such an annoying creature like you hasn’t died yet?!

“Yes. I am indeed feeling regretful. I’m Gareth?”

Why do you cling to life, and why do you monopolize Gareth?”

In the throes of her emotions, Kaylee swept all the fruits on the table before her onto the floor, creating a scene of utter chaos.

Elisa was calm and composed, yet she was still quite apprehensive.

If Kaylee showed signs of losing control, she would immediately use a restraining technique to seize her and send her to the police station.

Elisa was not surprised by Kaylee’s blatant confrontation.

After all, she never believed that Kaylee was truly remorseful.

A person could deceive others with words, but they could never fool anyone with their eyes and body. language.

When Elisa was in college, she studied psychology. Although she wasn’t an expert, it was more than enough to deal with the average person.

It was clear at first glance to her that Kaylee was like a beast that was temporarily lowering its head in submission.

Yet, her wild nature remained untamed, her fangs never retracted. Instead, she was always ready and always lurking, seeking the most opportune moment to take down her prey in one swift bite.

Elisa was well aware that despite Kaylee’s seemingly indifferent exterior, deep down, she was bothered when others spoke about her background.

That could be clearly seen by the way she was extremely careful when she was eating During their meal together before, Kaylee’s eyes had been fixed on the crab for quite some time. It seemed that she didn’t know how to use the crab-eating tools, so she just kept staring at it without making a move.

Only after Elisa had started eating did Kaylee imitate her slavishly.

In fact, her movements were far from standard. However, Elisa chose not to point it out, simply to spare Kaylee the embarrassment.

However, that also revealed a lot of issues, such as Kaylee’s feeling of inferiority.

Elisa slightly raised her eyebrows. Everything she had done so far was precisely to provoke Kaylee. Ideally. she wanted Kaylee to admit her own wrongdoings.

Elisa stared at Kaylee, her hand stealthily activating the recording function on her phone under the covers. Then, she said to Kaylee, “So, you were the one behind me and Rachel falling into the water, right? Your goal was to put me in a life-threatening situation, wasn’t it?”

Elisa carefully observed the subtle expressions on Kaylee’s face. The slight twitch at the corner of her mouth hinted at a touch of mockery.
