NovelEnglishSince he had been working for Gareth for a long time, he could guess his boss' reaction.
At that moment, everyone turned to Elisa.
"Ms. Bennett, is there anything you would like to explain?" The woman asked in a low voice.
Gareth remained quiet, which was unusual because he wouldn't allow this to happen.

Since she doesn't want to explain, | want to hear from her.
Elisa ignored Gareth and looked around the room.
"Everyone here is from the management level. | assyou wouldn't be here without many rounds of examination and filtration.
Hence, I'm sure you know we shouldn't accuse someone without evidence." Silence hung in the room while an uneasy look appeared on the woman's face.
Before she could defend herself, Elisa's calm voice rang. "You think something's wrong with me. Where's your evidence?" The woman was at a loss for words. She is so good at pointing out the most crucial things.
If it were any other person, they might panic and cup with a forced explanation upon being criticized.
Yet, Elisa kept her cool and requested evidence.
The woman suppressed her displeasure and let out a cold snort.
Looking squarely at Elisa, she retorted calmly, "Ms. Benett, where's your conscience? When you were married to Mr. Wickam, the Wickam family treated you kindly and generously. Old Mrs. Wickam even treated you like her own granddaughter. | can't believe you resort to betraying them, working together with Mr. Darcey to attack Mr. Wickam. Don't bite the hands that feed you — you seem to have forgotten this." Gareth frowned, but it went unnoticed.

You request Mr. Wickam to fireon baseless accusations. Isn't it ludicrous? It's his decision at the end of the day, but y'all..." There was a poignant pause, and everyone tensed up.
"I could sue you," she continued impassively.
As soon as they heard that, they looked worried and anxious. However, the majority was furious when they heard that.
The woman who had been accusing Elisa was Georgiana Sulley, a manager of Wickam Group.
She couldn't stand it anymore and retorted angrily, "Ms. Benett, everyone knows you're an elite lawyer, perhaps the very best in our country. Do you have to threaten everyone with that?" "I'm not threatening anyone here; I'm just stating facts.” Georgiana was not the only person who had a beef with Elisa.
Another person retaliated angrily, "How interesting, Ms. Benett. This is clearly a threat. Don't we have the right to speak our minds?" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
