Chapter 2049 Cold War

Just as she was about to say something. Elisa’s eyes were fixed unwaveringly on Kaylee, eager to hear her next words, afraid she might miss anything.

However, at that moment, the sound of a door opening echoed through..

The words Kaylee wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She turned her head and locked eyes with Gareth, creating a somewhat awkward moment.

Elisa was utterly annoyed. Why does he have to return at this moment? He’s interrupting my plan! Well, this is just great. All my plans have been thrown into disarray.

Upon seeing Gareth, Kaylee regained her sanity.-

She realized that maybe Elisa had been trying to coax the truth out of her. For a moment, she felt a chill run down her spine, her back tingling with unease. This woman is truly terrifying.

Elisa watched the change of emotions on Kaylee’s face, knowing that she had come to her senses. Now, there was absolutely no chance left.

I’ve alerted the enemy! Elisa felt somewhat disheartened for a moment.

Gareth looked at Kaylee, then glanced at the mess all around. His gaze gave much food for thought.

It seemed that Kaylee hadn’t quite figured out a reasonable explanation as she hastily uttered, “Since Gareth is back, I’ll take my leave first. You should rest well, Elisa.”

She left immediately after.

Things happened so quickly that Elisa didn’t even have time to say anything.

Gareth watched Kaylee fleeing swiftly with a sense of caution.

He quickly moved to Elisa’s side. Only then did he see the chaos in the ward.

He quickly asked, “Are you all right?”

Elisa shook her head, looking a bit crestfallen.

An anxious look flashed across Gareth’s eyes as he quickly sized up Elisa, ensuring she wasn’t hurt. Only then did he feel relieved.

Looking at the mess all over the place, he pressed the button, signaling the people below to clean it up.

People arrived quickly. During that period, Elisa and Gareth didn’t speak to one another.

Elisa was lying on her side, her back toward Gareth, covered with a blanket. Deep down, she was feeling at bit resentful. If Gareth had come back a bit later, I might have already found something on Kaylee and wouldn’t be in such a passive position.

With this, the initiative is no longer in our hands. After this incident, Kaylee probably won’t come to see me for quite some time, let alone give anything away. What a blunder.

Gareth noticed Elisa’s dissatisfaction, but considering there were people around, he remained silent.

After patiently waiting for everyone to leave, he finally spoke. “What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” Gareth quickly thought and asked, “Or is it that you want to talk to Kaylee alone? Do you have any questions for her?”

Gareth, true to his reputation as a long-standing titan of the business world, managed to hit the nail on the head.

It wouldn’t be fair for Elisa to continue blaming Gareth, When it came down to it, it was really because she didn’t think things through thoroughly, failing to consider that aspect.

Elisa sat up and looked at Gareth. Under his inquisitive gaze, she nodded.

“Yes. I deliberately provoked her to make her admit her crimes.”

Gareth said, “But recordings made in illegal circumstances are not admissible as evidence.”

Elisa looked at him, “How could I not know?”

Having Rachel as a best friend was quite something. Putting complicated regulations aside, Elisa was quite fluent in common laws, such as traffic rules, despite not having memorized them completely.

Therefore, naturally, Elisa knew that this kind of recording could not be used as evidence for conviction.
