Chapter 858

Chapter 858 “Liz, why aren’t you eating? Eat up. You’re too skinny now.”

Elisa smiled. “I’m eating, Grandma.”

Julia looked at her with a distressed expression and said slightly exasperatedly, “You have to eat properly. Don’t skip meals to maintain your figure. You’ve lost weight recently! You have to eat more and gain weight!”

Elisa immediately smiled and nodded. “Alright. I’ll eat more.”

Actually...

Elisa wasn’t skinny. She had a classic figure.

But from Grandma’s point of view, Elisa was so skinny that it distressed her.

They finished eating soon. Old Mr. Wickam didn’t say anything from the start until the end. But when everyone finished eating, he looked at Elisa and said in a low voice, “Ms. Benett, come to my study room later. I want to ask you something.”

Old Mr. Wickam’s tone was harsh and bossy. What he said to Elisa was entirely an order. It wasn’t friendly at all.

Furthermore, he had called Elisa ‘Ms. Benett’.

It displayed his attitude toward her.

Elisa had an indifferent expression and didn’t think much of it. But Julia looked coldly at Old Mr. Wickam before Elisa could say anything. “What do you want?”

It was evident that Julia was fiercely protective of Elisa. She didn’t want Elisa to get hurt at all. She didn’t trust her husband!

Darren immediately wrinkled his brows and looked at Julia. “Am I going to eat her?”

“Even if you don’t eat her whole, you’ll take a bite out of her. Don’t you think I know you well? Liz is busy. She has to keep me company, so she can’t go to your study room!”

“You...!” Old Mr. Wickam’s blood almost boiled. He looked at Julia furiously. “I want to talk to her about company affairs!”

“I don’t care! You’re talking nonsense!” Julia defended Elisa bossily. She didn’t want Darren and Elisa to interact at all.

Darren gritted his teeth, and his gaze fell on Elisa. It was clear that he wanted her to say something to Julia.

But Elisa ignored Darren’s gaze. Instead, she said indifferently, “Grandpa, if you have any worries about work affairs, you can discuss it with Gareth. Right now, I obey Gareth and only work with him. I don’t have much to say if he agrees. If he disagrees, I won’t listen to you.”

There was an indication of the coldness melting in Gareth’s eyes.

Darren was angry that Julia had contradicted him, but he had to yield to her because she was his wife. But now, Elisa didn’t care that he was her elder. She said such things to him in front of the servants. Where is he going to hide his old face?

At the next moment, he immediately said furiously, “I’m the chairman of Wickam Group! Even Gareth has to obey my orders.

You’re working at Wickam Group now. Shouldn’t you listen to my instructions?!”

His voice was enraged, colder, and more forceful than before.

But Elisa didn’t think much of it. She wasn’t worried and said calmly, “I didn’t want to work on this project with Wickam Group at first. If you don’t want this project, you can terminate it anytime. After all, you’re the chairman.”

“You...!” Old Mr. Wickam was speechless after hearing what Elisa said.

Elisa had a calm expression and didn’t want to say anything else. It wasn’t because she didn’t have respect for her elders. It was because some people didn’t deserve respect.
