Chapter 207
Gareth’s coldness and warning drove daggers into Elisa’s chest. But she chuckled lightly, “You know
very well that if Grandma wants me over, she’ll make sure that you’ll be there too. She wants us to get
together again. But after visiting Malcom at Lumineer Temple, she no longer insists that we get back
together.”
Gareth’s chest tightened.
Elisa smiled. “That’s why there’s no need for you to be so worried. I remember how kind Grandma was
to me. Rest assured that I will never hurt her. Grandma also won’t make me come visit her. If it were up
to me, I would never darken your door ever again.”
The hand that he had free was clenched into a fist. The vein in his forehead continued to throb. He

Elisa smirked. Without another word, she circled the car to the driver’s seat.
Without another glance at Gareth, she fastened her seatbelt and started the car. With a practiced hand,
she disengaged the handbrake and put the car into gear. The car quickly sped away under Gareth’s
watch.
Gareth stood frozen. His anger was close to exploding. He stopped watching the car as Thomas was
coming his way. Gareth closed his eyes to compartmentalize his emotions.
“Mr. Wickam, everything’s settled. We can go now.” Thomas reported. He did not find anything amiss

Gareth nodded and quickly left.

Elisa had been receiving more phone calls than usual the past couple of days. But it was all calls from

Racing was her father’s favorite sport. She had enjoyed watching her father race. He was so good at it.
But after she had learned how to race and won some of her own races, she got married, and her father
passed away…
She was in so much pain that the thought of racing again, made her sick.
If Rachel had not called in a favor, she might still be stuck in that rut.
The day of the race finally arrived.
Elisa changed the way she looked so that she was unrecognizable.

if she could keep her identity as a racecar driver a secret.
Carle and his people had arrived before her. It was an important event, meaning many high–level
executives had made their way here.
Especially… People like Edward Semoa who was looking forward to watching his son succeed. Carle
had filled him with so much anticipation that he had come too.
He wanted to see who this professional racecar driver that his son had managed to bag.
Rachel and Sheena had also arrived, and the two girls were chatting with Carle. Edward was an
easygoing parent. He didn’t mind them becoming friends. Besides, the two girls did not come from an
ordinary background.
More friends meant more opportunities. While they were waiting, someone caught their eye.
Rachel’s eyes lit up when she saw who it was. She waved excitedly at Elisa, “Babe, we’re over here!”
