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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa 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 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 attend 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, 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.”
