Rose snorted coldly and said indifferently, “I’m going to cook. Just wait for a while.”
Linda’s expression changed slightly. “You’re going to cook? What happened to our servants?’
Rose was stupefied.
The house had been sold, and they didn’t have any money. How could they afford to hire servants?
She said indifferently while she washed her hands, “You shouldn’t see any outsiders with your
condition. Otherwise, they might discover your flaws and look for ways to hurt you. No one around us is
reliable anymore. Do you really dare to trust anyone?”
Linda furrowed her brows. She felt that what her mother said made sense, so she didn’t say anything in
the end. She walked to the couch in the living room and sat down before turning on the television, but
she was restless for some reason. “The couch and the television are too close to each other, aren’t
they?”
Rose could hear the agitation in Linda’s voice. Still, nothing could be done in their present situation, so
she pretended she didn’t hear anything and ignored Linda.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sky darkened. Elisa and Rachel returned to their respective rooms after finishing their meals.
It was a risky area, and it was getting late. It wasn’t safe to go out.
Elisa went into the suite and saw Gareth sitting on the couch with a cloudy expression. She didn’t want
to talk to him, so she changed her shoes and walked to her room.
Gareth looked at her coldly. “Where did you go?”
“Downstairs to eat with Rachel,” Elisa replied indifferently.
Gareth continued looking at her icily. “Do you treat me as a fool?”
Elisa was flabbergasted.
What she said was the truth. Does Gareth think that she’s deceiving him?
“It’s up to you to believe me.” Elisa returned to her room after that.
But…
Elisa didn’t know that Gareth had been waiting to eat with her.
Gareth stayed seated on the couch with a dark expression. His cell phone rang, and it was a call from
Thomas. He answered the call and said, “No preparations needed.”
He hung up after that.
On the other end, Thomas seemed to have understood something. He had seen Elisa and Rachel
together when he was downstairs.
Gareth had hung up on him before he could say anything. Thomas touched the tip of his nose. Right
now, he could picture his boss’ malicious expression. Ms. Benett… must be in for a rough night…
Just as Thomas was thinking about it, Gareth got up and made his way to Elisa’s room. He said coldly,
“Open the door.”
He had heard Elisa closing and locking the door just now.
Elisa was in the bathroom, and water was flowing. She couldn’t hear Gareth at all.
Gareth’s expression darkened.
He suddenly raised his hands.
‘Bang!’
He knocked on the door hard. Elisa, who was taking a shower, was surprised. She immediately turned
off the running water and heard Gareth’s voice. “Open the door!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa’s brows immediately furrowed tightly. Is he ill?!
“I’m taking a shower!” Elisa’s voice was intertwined with fury. Gareth was always so temperamental.
She couldn’t take it anymore!
Gareth was dumbstruck.
His expression was awfully icy. “I’m counting to three!”
After that, if Elisa didn’t open the door, Gareth would do something extreme.
Elisa gritted her teeth. There weren’t other rooms here. She was afraid that Gareth would really kick the
door down, and she wouldn’t have a place to stay tonight.
She wrapped herself in a towel at once and quickly walked to the door.
“What are you doing? I said that I was taking a shower.”
‘Bang!!’
The door seemed to be shaking.
Elisa’s expression changed at once. She didn’t dare to think further and opened the door immediately!
After that, Gareth’s cold and vengeful expression appeared before her eyes instantly.
And Gareth’s gaze immediately fell on Elisa, who was wrapped in a towel.
