Chapter 1208 Arguing at the Dinner Banquet
Old Mr. Wickam smiled at Elisa. "It's so late, and it's dangerous for a girl like you to go home alone. Let Gareth send
you home."
Elisa was dumbfounded.
She never thought Old Mr. Wickam would say such a thing in front of so many people.
However, before she could say anything, Old Mr. Darcey said, "Hey, Gareth has been out and about the whole day.
He has to rest. My dumb brat hasn't done anything the whole day. Let him send you!"
Elisa was flabbergasted.
Will looked at Elisa and smiled. "It would be my honor."

didn't do anything today, either. He can send her home. I saw that Will signed a huge contract today and has many
projects. How could you tire Will?"
After that, Old Mr. Wickam deliberately turned to look at Gareth with a straight face. "What are you waiting for?"
Gareth was bewildered.
"How can that be? He's used to doing such things. How can he be tired? Furthermore, since when does Liz belong to
your family? Don't trick me, Wickam!"
"When have I tricked you? Liz has been in our family all along. You've forgotten that my wife made it clear during
her birthday that Liz is part of our family!"
"Oh, so she was acknowledging Liz as her biological granddaughter." Old Mr. Darcey instantly nodded
understandingly. "That means that she's siblings with your grandson."
Old Mr. Darcey seemed to have finally found a loophole. He was pleased when he spoke.
Before Old Mr. Darcey could think of anything else, Old Mr. Wickam immediately retorted, "Who said that?! They
don't have the same parents!"
Elisa took a slight breath. Her cheeks were feeling slightly hot since these two people of high status were asking
their grandsons to send her home in front of so many people.
When she saw that Old Mr. Darcey was about to say something else, she immediately said, "It's alright. I can go
home myself. Moreover, I drove here."
"How can you do that?! It's too late now. What if you bump into delinquents?" Old Mr. Wickam retorted quickly. It
was a far cry from his usual solemn demeanor at home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Elisa was slightly baffled.
Everyone else around them felt that things were happening too quickly.
Didn't Old Mr. Wickam dislike Elisa in the past? But what's going on now? He likes her so much that he's publicly
contradicting himself. He doesn't even care that other people are around. Has Elisa become such a vital presence?
After all, the audio recording of Old Mr. Wickam having a high regard for Nicole was spread back then. But now…
The two elderly men didn't mention Nicole at Old Mr. Tabor's birthday banquet. Instead, they were arguing over
Elisa… Although the dinner banquet ended, people were still around.
Many people subconsciously looked in Old Mr. Tabor's direction. Sure enough, someone noticed that Old Mr. Tabor
had a nasty expression.
Upon looking in Nicole's direction, they realized she wasn't around anymore.
No one knew if she had other things to do or if she felt humiliated by remaining in such a situation.
Elisa's head hurt a little. She didn't care what others thought and immediately said, "It's fine. Thank you both for
your concern, but I'm alright. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving."
