Chapter 857

Chapter 857 Elisa’s expression was nasty, while Gareth’s face was extremely cloudy. So many people had seen Elisa’s back. He was furious He quickly removed Elisa’s gauze and noticed that her wound was as she said it was. New flesh was growing, and it was scabbing. He put the gauze back and zipped her up.

Elisa didn’t say anything and restrained her emotions. Those people that had appeared out of a sudden made her uncontrollably irritable.

She took a breath and said coldly, “Right now, I suspect you’re not tough enough. The proposal that your subordinates came up with isn’t even worthy of being trash. They’re unhappy just because I criticized them, and they’re always trying to argue with me.

There’s no use even if I mention you. Now that they saw the both of us like that, they won’t be able to control themselves, and they’ll say that I slept my way to the top.”

Gareth’s expression darkened. He didn’t know why but his mood seemed to have improved a little when he heard what she said at the end.

He said icily, “I will deal with this.”

Elisa glanced at him coldly. She didn’t want to speak nonsense with him, so she sat in her seat and continued working. She treated Gareth like air.

The office quietened in an instant.

Gareth’s expression darkened.

He was standing next to Elisa, but this woman ignored him entirely.

One might well ask.

Who has the nerve to treat him like that?

Many people had to walk on eggshells around him. Only this woman was different!

Gareth closed his eyes as if controlling his emotions before he said indifferently, “Come and visit Grandma with me tonight.”

Elisa frowned subconsciously. In the end, she didn’t say anything when she thought about what she had promised Gareth previously. Moreover, it had been quite some time since she last visited Grandma.

Gareth knew that her silence was indirect agreement. He didn’t say anything and walked out.

But...

What Gareth didn’t know was...

Once Elisa got off work, she didn’t wait for him. She drove to Wickam Manor herself.

When Gareth arrived at Wickam Manor, he saw Grandma holding Elisa’s hand and laughing non-stop. Grandma looked like she was in a great mood.

Gareth’s dark face seemed to have lightened a little.

Julia glanced at him. “You’re here too.”

That was her only greeting. Before Gareth could say anything, she continued chatting and laughing with Elisa.

Gareth was dumbstruck.

Somehow, he felt like he wasn’t Grandma’s biological grandson.

Elisa felt more like her biological granddaughter instead.

It was as though he had taken Elisa’s place for so many years.

Elisa sat at the side as she chatted with Grandma, and she didn’t look at Gareth at all. He looked for a seat and occasionally glanced at his cell phone or listened to them.

Soon, the servants set up the table.

But...

Old Mr. Wickam was home today.

Once the food was done, he would naturally come downstairs. When he saw Liz chatting with his wife, his expression darkened subconsciously.

Even though Old Mr. Wickam didn’t say a word, Elisa could feel that he didn’t like her presence.

He must not have wanted her to be implicated with Gareth because it would affect the relationship between Gareth and Nicole.

But she was here today to visit Grandma. She didn’t plan on involving herself with Gareth.
