Elisa’s eyes flashed slightly, and she nodded at once. “Alright. Let’s have dinner.”
She had wanted to have dinner first, but Grandma disagreed.
Elisa regretted it slightly. She was afraid that Grandma wouldn’t be in the mood to eat if she left, so she
helped Old Madam Wickam to the dining room.
But… as she raised her eyes, she saw Gareth sitting at the dining table calmly amidst the chaos.
Elisa was stunned.
Shouldn’t he have left in a huff?
Is he going to eat dinner?
He seems to be famished.
Pfft.
This man isn’t that strong, after all.
She washed her hands and walked to the dining table before she smiled at the man. In a seemingly
concerned tone, she said, “You must be exhausted, Mr. Wickam. I thought you were in great shape, but

The man didn’t do well with taunts, and here Elisa was, mocking him deliberately!
Gareth’s face fell in an instant. He enunciated her name calmly. “Elisa Benett.”
It seemed to be nothing, but it had a bone-chilling quality. It was as if there was a breeze indoors.
A trace of a smile flickered across the corner of Elisa’s mouth. “It’s fine. You can eat if you’re hungry.
We eat to live. This is a normal occurrence.”
Gareth’s sharp eyes instantly glanced at Elisa. His gaze was as cutting as a knife. Anyone else
wouldn’t have been able to hold their own because his face was unbelievably dark.
Julia was slightly stunned. She never thought that Elisa would say such things.
Hmm?
It was as though something fishy was going on between the two of them.
Liz will never pick on him in the past. What did this brat do to torment Liz?
This wouldn’t do. Julia had to get people to make some inquiries. These two kids would never tell her.
The smile in the corner of Elisa’s lips deepened upon seeing Gareth silent. “Thanks to you today, my
reputation is restored at the company. But I have Grandma to thank as well. Without her, I’m sure you
would be unwilling to do this. It’s my fault for forcing you to pick roses. Do unto others as you would
have done unto yourself. Remember that, Mr. Wickam.”
Gareth suddenly sneered. He turned to look at her. “Do unto others as you would have done unto
yourself?”
His deep voice was filled with frost.
Elisa felt a chill on her spine, but in the next second, she smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
For the rest of her life, she would never forget how this man had forced himself onto her!
But since it was Gareth, and he was Old Madam Wickam’s grandson, she wouldn’t argue with him too
much.
Edgar sneered, and he didn’t say a word. Contempt was intertwined between his slightly curved thin
lips. It made others inexplicably feel that something was wrong.

“Eat up, Grandma. I’m sorry for holding up your dinner.”
“It’s fine. I’m not that hungry. Come, let’s eat.”
Gareth’s face was dark, and he didn’t say anything. He watched Julia and Elisa, who sat across from
him but stayed silent and ate alone.
The two of them laughed and chatted, treating Gareth like air.
Elisa wasn’t planning on staying long after dinner. After all, it was getting late.
She smiled at Julia and said, “I’ll be leaving, Grandma.”
Gareth stood up without saying a word.
Julia nodded immediately. “Alright. It’s late. Both of you should leave. Gareth, send Liz home.”
Gareth didn’t say anything as he walked out.
Elisa didn’t drive. Grandma would disapprove if she hailed a cab. She would personally watch Elisa get
into Gareth’s car.
In the end, Elisa didn’t say anything. When she walked out, Gareth was already in the driver’s seat. It
was clear that he was waiting for her.
