As they talked about it, the they became more excited. Elisa curved her lips slightly into a smile and
asked, “Does Elisa think that she’s invincible just because she’s an elite lawyer? I suddenly understand
why you did that, Dad. If you don’t let her return to the Benett Corporation, she might work with our
opponents, and once she finds some loopholes in the contracts, she will help them in taking legal
action. We would lose a huge sum of money because of that, so it’s better to keep her close so we can
keep an eye on her.”
Norman looked at his daughter with great satisfaction. “Sweetie, your intelligence is superb! I would be
relieved to hand over the company to you in the future.”
Rose also nodded along, feeling impressed by her. “Precisely. Our daughter is so smart that we won’t
have any worries about handing over the business to her.”
Linda smiled back at them. “Let’s work together as a family and kick Elisa out of the picture completely,

Rose let out a cold snort. “If Elisa brings up the topic of taking over Benett Corporation again, let’s give
her a few difficult challenges so that she’ll end up being hated by all the stakeholders who won’t allow
her to return. When that time comes, she will be a complete failure.”

At the same time, Elisa felt a strong sense of melancholy as soon as she stepped into her late father’s
old room. Looking at the room that still looked the same, tears began to fill her eyes unknowingly.
She was telling the truth just now – it was true that she avoided this place because she did not want to
be reminded of the sad memories here.
As soon as she thought of her father’s passing, she felt devastated.
When she caught the eye of a picture of them, she subconsciously walked toward it.
The loving smile on his face made her unable to stop her tears.
She took the picture and held it close to her face.
Dad… This is my dear father…
With that thought in mind, she closed her eyes heartbrokenly. She could not even bring herself to utter
a word.
His passing is simply too sudden. I wonder if I can find some clues in this room.
Even though she knew that Norman had most likely destroyed the evidence, she recollected herself

overtime had become a norm for him.
As he opened a new folder, someone suddenly knocked on his door.
“Come in.”
After hearing his icy orders, his assistant, Thomas, quickly walked into the room. However, Gareth did

As soon as Gareth heard the word ‘Ms. Benett’, his hand that was holding a pen immediately froze. In
the next second, he lifted his head to look at Thomas.
“What for?”
“I don’t understand the details yet. I think the Benett family had invited her over. This is what we know
so far, and…”
His voice trailed off hesitantly at this point, eliciting a frown on Gareth’s face. “Spit it out.”
Thomas jolted and quickly replied, “She stayed the night.”
Gareth immediately frowned without saying a word, but he had a lot of unanswered questions in his
mind.

not close.
