Chapter 1285 Who’s That Man?

Vincent paused before continuing awkwardly, "Elisa is cleverer than Rachel. His situation is going to be worse than

mine."

"Let's see. At the end of the day, he has to realize the truth himself. Nothing we say would work otherwise."

Vincent continued to drink morosely. Neither of them had the intention to leave.

The night gradually darkened.

After reaching home, Gareth took a shower and sat on his bed. He couldn't be bothered with the piles of documents

on his desk. Instead, he was looking at his phone.

In the past, he used to hate incoming calls on his phone for interrupting his work, except for the calls from Thomas.

However, the silence from his phone was so deafening that he couldn't get used to it.

Even though he wouldn't receive many calls, to begin with, the silence felt unsettling.

It's been a while since Elisa contacted me first.

He paused for a moment before finally calling her number. After a few rings, the call connected.

"Hey." Her voice was void of all emotions.

Gareth pursed his lips and continued, "I received news from the auction that they got hold of Hesperis."

"Really?" she exclaimed, joy and excitement seeping into her indifferent voice.

It seemed like she finally came back to life at that moment.

Gareth frowned, annoyed that she valued the herb more than him. Even though it was a crucial ingredient to cure

Julia, he was still displeased that it completely dominated her attention.

With that thought in his mind, his face darkened. He clenched his phone in frustration.

Yet, he still replied icily, "Yeah."

Elisa seemed to have opened up upon hearing the news. "I've done a couple more experiments over the past few

days. If we could get Hesperis, Grandma will definitely recover – you can take my word for it!"

Due to Jeremy's influence, he had always assumed that Elisa would find the solution. Even when she was uncertain

of her own skills, he never once doubted her. Hence, he was not surprised by her confident statement.

Instead, he was displeased that her attention and excitement were only roused due to the news.

Nevertheless, Elisa did not notice his annoyance and continued, "Are you free? Let's head there a few days before

the auction to avoid accidents."

"Sure," Gareth replied indifferently, but Elisa was already used to it.

"Is there anything else? If not, let's end the call. I'm busy with something else here."

The look in Gareth's eyes turned sharper when he heard that. Since Elisa was not there, she was oblivious to it.

She was unsure if he had some other news, so she waited for a reply or for him to hang up. After a while, she

received neither of those responses and looked at her phone in confusion.

She ensured the call was still connected and asked, "Gareth?"

The vein on his forehead throbbed as he was overcome with an urge to ask her a question. Nonetheless, he

couldn't bring himself to do it because of his pride.

When he heard another man calling Elisa, a cloud of displeasure cast a dark shadow on his face.

"Where are you? Why are you with other men?" he demanded sharply.
