Chapter 1474 Because You Are Here

After Elisa entered the room, Winslow told her he would attend a banquet tonight.

Elisa wasn't interested in banquets.

She knew he was busy and that many people would get the wrong idea if they saw them together too often.

So she shook her head. "I don't really want to go, Uncle. And about Brie... she's the most loyal employee you can

possibly get. Maybe you should keep her here?"

Winslow was surprised that Elisa came to plead for mercy on Brie's behalf. "Your reputation wouldn't have been

sullied if she hadn't talked nonsense to those people."

He certainly did not foresee that Elisa would be such a benevolent figure to have forgiven Brie for her misconduct.

Brie hadn't even worked by her side for more than a day.

Besides, she had never been a person who casually helped others, especially those who had negatively affected her

life.

Winslow's thoughts raced as he couldn't quite understand what Brie had done to make Elisa come to him and plead

for her.

Elisa knew that Winslow was trying to protect her and didn't want her to be wronged.

But such a small matter wouldn't really affect her reputation. Even if Brie hadn't said anything, people would still get

the wrong idea.

"Uncle, no one knows about my identity right now, so they misunderstood. Brie made a mistake in the heat of the

moment, but she is undoubtedly a good assistant. I don't think I need to say much more about that. After all these

years of working for you, Uncle, you should have felt it too."

Elisa pursed her lips as she tried to persuade him.

Winslow kept silent, carefully taking in her words.

"Let her stay. I think she's a good person. If you don't want her, don't blame me for stealing her from you," Elisa

said with a light smile.

Winslow didn't respond immediately, either. He remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "The

other people involved have left. It isn't fair if she doesn't leave too."

KKCD had always aimed to treat everyone equally.

Elisa understood his concern.

But she immediately pointed out, "If you're treating her equally, then why hasn't Brie been left stranded like the

others?"

"Is your idea of treating everyone equally still influenced by past affections, Uncle?"

Winslow smiled. "You're right. Since you've spoken up for her, let her stay."

And so, Brie was allowed to stay.

As for North, who was pretending to be Gareth, Winslow arranged for him to go to Caelonia for an investigation.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Elisa pulled him to the side with a stern face. "Gareth, are you insane?

Where is North now?"

Gareth wasn't surprised that she recognized him and didn't bother continuing with the charade. "I've locked him in

the basement. I have my own reasons for doing this," Gareth said calmly, not seeing any problem with his actions.

A surge of anger welled within Elisa as Gareth's words irritated her even more. "Your own reasons? You already got

your Ganoderma Caligo, and we have even arranged a private jet to send you back to your country. Gareth, why

are you staying here?"

She couldn't understand this madman!

Her question left Gareth at a loss. What was the point of him staying here?

He stayed because he wanted to see what plans Elisa had and what kind of relationship she had with the casino

owner. Eden, Mr. Carrerra, and this casino owner were always around her. He didn't think it was a coincidence, and

neither did he believe she could handle these things alone!

"Because you're here," he finally blurted out.
