Elisa walked forward with a smile as if nothing had happened in the day. She looked like she was in a good mood.

Julia smiled and looked at Elisa, but when she realized that Gareth was behind Elisa, her brows furrowed, and the

smile in the corner of her mouth lightened.

The next moment, she couldn’t help but ask him, “Why are you here?”

Upon closer inspection, one could hear the displeasure and resentment in her voice.

Gareth was taken aback.

The smile in the corner of Elisa’s lips deepened.

She glanced at Gareth before looking at Julia and speaking softly.

“I think his presence is a little unnecessary. Grandma, why don’t you get rid of him?”

Julia was a little astonished. Elisa had never said such a thing to her before.

Did the brat infuriate her obedient granddaughter?!

Julia’s expression turned nasty in an instant.

“You brat. Did you do something to Liz again?”

Gareth was dumbstruck.

Elisa’s lips curved slightly. She didn’t look at Gareth but held Julia’s hand and said softly, “Nothing happened,

Grandma.”

“Nothing?” Julia’s brows furrowed tightly. Liz had never spoken like that before. Something was clearly up!

Gareth narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on Elisa. “Tell us. How could I bully you today?”

‘How could I bully you?’

Not ‘how did I bully you?’

Julia’s gaze changed slightly. A complicated expression was intertwined within. There was a different meaning.

When Julia thought about it, she looked at Elisa, whose face had turned slightly red.

Julia was baffled, while Elisa was dumbfounded.

Elisa looked at Gareth coldly as if warning him.

He wasn’t in a hurry to talk about it either.

But Julia grew curious and she looked at Elisa suspiciously. “Liz, what did he do to you?”

Elisa was stumped.

Gareth’s lips twitched, and although there was ridicule in his eyes, Thomas would realize that his boss was in a

great mood if he was around.

Elisa took a breath in and held Julia’s hand before saying in exasperation, “It’s not that. I’m slightly annoyed that

people in the company are talking about us because of our past, so I feel slightly repulsed when I see him.”

Gareth’s brows wrinkled slightly, and he walked to sit across from them. He didn’t say anything, and even though

his face was dark, the air around him wasn’t as cold.

Julia frowned at once. “Are there people talking nonsense again?”

“Mm. There are.” Elisa nodded without hesitation.

Gareth’s brows furrowed. He had heard about gossip in the company, but Elisa might have heard worse.

Has she suffered a lot?

When he thought about it, he suddenly saw Elisa raise her eyes and look at him with a half-smile. His eyes flickered

ever so slightly.

Julia said slightly unhappily, “What did they say?”

“They said…” Elisa sighed and shook her head in frustration. “It’s fine. I better not say, as it would only ruin the

mood. I can just ignore what others say. I shouldn’t get angry or take my anger out on Gareth.”

Gareth frowned slightly. Why did he feel that something was up?
