Chapter 2069 Fulfilled
Ever since she hung up the phone with Bella, Elisa had been feeling burdened by worries, always sensing that
something was about to happen.
Especially in the last two days, that premonition had been growing stronger and stronger.
Elisa only shared her concerns with Gareth.
After listening, Gareth expressed that he shared the same thoughts and intuition as Elisa. One thing that’s certain is
that the large group of journalists showing up at the company’s doorstep was clearly a coordinated and
premeditated act. So, this definitely wasn’t an accident. Clearly, that person has some influence, being able to
mobilize so many media outlets. They must also have some financial strength.
What was more intriguing was that neither Elisa nor Gareth could figure out who that person really was, regardless
of the connections they explored.

Gareth looked at Elisa, who seemed a bit preoccupied, and comforted her, “No matter what, at least nothing has
happened yet, so there’s no need to worry too much. Just let things take their course. After all, the enemy lurks in
the shadows while we remain in the light. It’s really hard to guard against the enemy. All you need to do is take care
of what you should do and think on your feet.”
Elisa nodded. It seems that’s the only way forward now.
For several consecutive days, everything was peaceful and uneventful.
But far from feeling relaxed, Elisa felt that it was the calm before the storm.
One day in the second week, while she was still at home taking care of Kaylee, a call came from Bella. She sounded
extremely anxious, delivering news that struck her like a bolt from the blue.
“A couple of the previous construction workers mentioned they still haven’t received their overdue wages. They’re
now on the rooftop of the company building, holding a banner and threatening to jump,” Bella reported.
Elisa only felt darkness before her eyes, nearly causing her to fall. This matter is not to be taken lightly. It has a
significant impact and is indeed very detrimental. Its severity is a hundred times worse than the previous issue of
withholding wages from workers. What kind of oppression could be so severe that it drives the laborers to the brink
of death? People must think Benett Corporation is being untrustworthy. The company is going back on its word! The
better the image I had established before, the more terrifying people now find me. They must think I’m being two-
faced, which is genuinely terrifying.
Elisa was pushing herself to the limit, allowing Bella to hold down the fort while she immediately drove to the
company.
On the road, Gareth’s call came through, clearly having caught wind of something.
Elisa was not surprised. If he knows nothing at all, that’s what’s truly abnormal.
Elisa put on her Bluetooth headset and answered the call.
“It has come to pass. I reckon this game of chess has been going on for quite some time. Now it’s coming on

With a wry smile, Elisa replied, “Even if I can’t handle it, don’t I still have to? Don’t worry about me. I can
do it.”
Gareth paused momentarily before asking, “Do we need to send the police to the scene right now?”
Elisa nodded. “I’ve already contacted the police. They need to be present in such situations. But I can’t shake the
feeling that something bad is going to happen. I hope this time there won’t be any
bloodshed. I faint at the sight of blood.”
Elisa still had the mood to joke around, so Gareth wasn’t too worried about her emotional state.
He was just worried that once she got to the scene, things might get out of control and become a bit. chaotic.
“I’m currently on a business trip and can’t make it there. Let’s keep our Bluetooth connection open at all times.
Don’t hang up on me. Keep me updated on what you’re doing, okay?” he asked.
