Chapter 1927 Dissatisfied
Elisa raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.
“We each take what we need. You strive for leniency, and I'll help you hold off Mrs. Grayson. As for
what happens to you ultimately, that's up to you.”
Elisa stood up, dusting herself off. “Think this matter through.” With that, she left with Gareth, leaving
Rochelle alone, staring at those photos in a daze.
After leaving the visiting room, Elisa and Mrs. Grayson bumped into each other.
What a small world. When Mrs. Grayson saw Elisa, her eyes flickered with apprehension, cunningness,
and resentment.
No matter what, Paul was her husband. Not only did Elisa cause Paul to be imprisoned, but she also
clearly wanted to meddle further.
Naturally, Mrs. Grayson wasn't pleased.
Elisa wasn't afraid of her either. She politely nodded at her, considering it as a form of greeting.
Elisa was about to leave with Gareth when Mrs. Grayson's gaze fell upon him.
Mrs. Grayson couldn't help but sneer. No wonder. Now I know why she can drive Paul to this state of
desperation. It turns out she has support.
Mrs. Grayson's heart stirred. Without further thought, she blocked Elisa's path.

Mrs. Grayson got straight to the point. Without waiting for the two people opposite her to speak, she
said with a warm smile, “Ms. Benett, I wonder if you have some time. Could we go to a coffee shop and
sit down for a chat?”
Indeed, those from influential families are different. They can maintain their composure even in the face
of a major crisis. Elisa knew Mrs. Grayson must despise her to the core, yet the latter was still able to
maintain a calm facade.

One might mistokenly think thot Mrs. Groyson wos porticulorly fond of Eliso if they didn't know ony
better.
Goreth frowned, somewhot displeosed.
He thought thot Eliso's time would be exclusively his now. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Groyson showed up out
of nowhere to interrupt their time together.
In order to deter the other porty, Goreth deliberotely sent out signols of his displeosure.
Mrs. Groyson wos quite on ostute womon. She quickly soid, “I must be getting old. My eyes oren't os
shorp os before. I didn't even notice Mr. Wickom stonding there. Would you like to join us, Mr.
Wickom?”
The tension on Goreth's cold foce eosed considerobly ofter he heord thot.
Unexpectedly, Eliso, who wos next to him, suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Wickom hos some motters to
ottend to, so he won't be meddling in our offoirs.”
After soying thot, she pulled Goreth closer ond whispered in o voice only the two of them could heor,
“Don't worry obout this motter onymore. I'll hondle it. You should go bock to the compony first.”
Indeed, those from influential families are different. They can maintain their composure even in the face
of a major crisis. Elisa knew Mrs. Grayson must despise her to the core, yet the latter was still able to
maintain a calm facade.
One might mistakenly think that Mrs. Grayson was particularly fond of Elisa if they didn't know any
better.
Gareth frowned, somewhat displeased.
He thought that Elisa's time would be exclusively his now. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Grayson showed up out
of nowhere to interrupt their time together.
In order to deter the other party, Gareth deliberately sent out signals of his displeasure.
Mrs. Grayson was quite an astute woman. She quickly said, “I must be getting old. My eyes aren't as
sharp as before. I didn't even notice Mr. Wickam standing there. Would you like to join us, Mr.
Wickam?”
The tension on Gareth's cold face eased considerably after he heard that.
Unexpectedly, Elisa, who was next to him, suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Wickam has some matters to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmattend to, so he won't be meddling in our affairs.”
After saying that, she pulled Gareth closer and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear,
“Don't worry about this matter anymore. I'll handle it. You should go back to the company first.”
Gareth wanted to go together. At least he could be of some help.
However, once Elisa made a decision, no one could change her mind.
He also didn't want to force it.
However, he was reluctant to leave just like that.
With a mischievous grin, Gareth winked at Elisa. “I accompanied you to the police station today.
Shouldn't you show some gesture of appreciation?”
Elisa was taken aback. Wasn't it his own decision to come along?
Elisa blinked her eyes, her face serious as she asked, “How much do you want?”
Gareth almost burst out laughing in disbelief. Did she just treat me like an hourly worker and dismiss
me?
Gareth wrapped his arm around Elisa's waist, catching her off guard and causing her to lean into his
powerful, muscular chest.
“I don't want money. I want you to spend a day with me, Ms. Benett.” His warm breath sprayed on
Elisa's face, tickling her.
Elisa frowned, glancing at Mrs. Grayson.
They were in a police station, bustling with people coming and going. Not wanting to get overly
entangled there, Elisa agreed without giving it much thought. “Okay.”
Like a child finally getting the toy he yearned for, Gareth was overjoyed. “All right! It's a promise, then.”
