She wanted to win their hearts so that Mr. Lynch would be motivated to help her with the case against Norman, and

hopefully, they would replace a new breakthrough in their plan.

But wouldn't it look like they were a couple taking their daughter shopping if they went in together?

Even though Gareth knew they weren't a couple, he didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

So, he pulled Elisa forward and away from them and said, "You can tell Thomas to handle those things. He will get

people to send them their clothes according to their sizes. We have other matters to attend to."

Elisa's forehead creased, hearing his impatient demands. She didn't say a word, but her eyes were cold and

uninviting.

What did Gareth need her for so urgently? She was also upset that he hadn't told her sooner.

Despite her annoyance with him, she had to keep a straight face before the strangers.

Where did Thomas go?

When he overheard Gareth's words, he whisked the Lynch family away.

As a result, only Gareth and Elisa were left alone, facing each other.

Elisa's eyebrows lifted, and her eyes flashed with annoyance. "Gareth, why do you always have to get involved in

my personal life?"

Her eyes narrowed, and her features hardened.

If Gareth knew where she was, did that mean he knew the whole truth?

Elisa's mind raced as she tried to figure out what Gareth knew.

She wanted to clarify it with him right away. "You must care about Linda to be so concerned about her father even

after she's gone."

Elisa pressed her lips into a thin line and spoke coldly to him.

"I'm doing this not because of Linda. She has already died in a car accident. I don't care… I never did."

Gareth immediately denied her suspicions. He wanted to say that he had never cared about Linda like the way he

did with her.

But if he said it like that, it would still mean that he had cared about Linda to some extent, even if they were not

romantic.

However, he had never even thought about her romantically before!

His words caught in his throat as he tried to reassure her, and he stressed the word "never."

Elisa didn't believe him. "Never? If you never cared about her, why did you leave me for her? If you never cared

about her, how do you explain what you did and the words you said to me in the past?"

"Aren't you well aware of why I treated Linda the way I did? You can do whatever you want to bring down Norman. I

won't stop you, but why do you accuse me of getting in your way every time you see me?"

Gareth's pursed lips slowly opened, and he spoke clearly, enunciating each word.

Well aware?

She knew the truth, but what did it matter?

He couldn't deny that he had left her for Linda, and he couldn't deny that he had been cruel to her because of

Linda.

"I have my own things to do. I don't want to argue with you here. If you're bored, you can get a massage or walk

around the mall. Just please stay away from me, okay?"

She didn't want him to ruin her day.

Gareth was concerned about her safety, so he didn't want to let her out of sight.

He smirked and spoke his mind with a hint of amusement.

"I understand you want to help, but I think you're going overboard."
