James looked toward Elisa in confusion. Elisa stood up and said, “Mr. Markee, it’s a rare opportunity for
us to gather. Please stay for dinner.”
“Haha. We can gather for a meal next time. You’re still recovering, and I told my wife I’ll be back for
dinner today. Come to my place next time when you guys are free.”
Rachel answered with a grin, “Sure. See you then, Uncle James. We shall catch up with you soon.”
James caressed Rachel’s hair lovingly and said, “You cheeky girl, pick up as much as you can from
Elisa, and don’t always loiter around.”
“I’m very hardworking nowadays!” Rachel squealed proudly while lifting her arms. “Look at my muscles.
I’m currently Elisa’s private bodyguard cum caretaker!”
James laughed in spite of himself and shook his head in resignation. “Alright then, I shall take my leave
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfirst. Go to bed early, girls.”
“Okay. See you, Uncle Mark!”
With that, James left, leaving Elisa and Rachel in the house. Rachel gazed at Elisa with her eyes
glistening. “Congratulations, Elisa! You can finally snatch Benett Corporation back!”
Elisa wore a faint smile. “We still have a long way to go.”
“What a bummer! You’re injured now. Otherwise, I would surely ask you to cook a feast and celebrate
with Sheena and Carle.”
Elisa chuckled. “Are you craving braised pork again? You can help me prepare the ingredients. I can
cook.”
Rachel shook her head. “Nah, let’s just rest. We’ll wait after you recover.”

The next day, Norman and Jessie headed to Wickam Group.
Yesterday, Jessie contacted Thomas and was told that Gareth was only available today and had limited
time. In other words, Thomas was reminding them to cherish this opportunity. Otherwise, Gareth might
not be available to see them after today.
After arriving at Wickam Group, they waited in the meeting room, but Gareth did not show up after
some time. Norman’s face gradually darkened, and there were several times when he nearly threw a
fit.
In the past, due to his relationship with Linda, Gareth treated him with respect and addressed him
cordially, but things were different now. Norman felt extremely humiliated to be given the cold shoulder.
Doesn’t he think that cracking the whip like this is unnecessary and boring?!
Jessie gave Norman a look but said nothing, which caused the latter to settle down. Now that Benett
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorporation was in deep water, he had to admit his mistakes to Wickam Group.
Norman took a deep breath and tried to keep his shirt on.
Around half an hour later, the door was finally opened. Norman and Jessie glanced toward the
entrance to see Thomas standing at the door. The latter nodded to them with a smile and stood aside.
The next second, a tall figure appeared in front of the two. Gareth’s cold and hostile look was
formidable, and Norman’s anger was dismissed at once when he perceived Gareth’s imposing manner.
All his bitterness vanished completely! His courage was lost when faced with Gareth, let alone his firm
attitude during the previous gathering.
He instinctively stood up with Jessie, who smiled at Gareth and greeted him. “Good afternoon, Mr.
Wickam.”
Gareth nodded at Jessie and sat down on the couch without sparing a glance at Norman. “I have only
limited time.” He blurted coldly.
