Gareth wasn’t around that day. Elisa was at ease, and Rachel kept her company. The two laughed and
chatted, and after a while, Rachel forced Elisa to sleep.
In the evening, Rachel smiled and looked at Elisa. “Babe, what do you want to eat?”
“Anything is fine.” Elisa wasn’t picky about food.
“Alright. I’ll get you something!”
“Sorry for troubling you.”
“Pfft! Why are you sorry? I’m going to remember it all! For all the times I prepared your meals, you have
to repay me and make me the same number of meals in the future! You scratch my back, and I’ll
scratch yours, but you have to repay my kindness tenfold! I make calls to instruct other people to
prepare your food, but you have to personally cook for me. It’s fair, don’t you think so?” Rachel said,
very pleased with herself.
Elisa couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes. It makes sense.”

someone to make you some food.”
“Mm.”
Rachel got up and walked out.
Elisa’s cell phone rang. The smile in her eyes slowly faded when she looked at the caller ID, but she
answered the call.
“Why are you calling me?”
“Liz, we haven’t talked in a while. Are you free? Do you want to come over?”
Elisa had an indifferent expression. “I’m on a business trip. Don’t you know about this, Linda?”
Linda was the person who called Elisa.
She might have been testing Elisa.
“You’re on a business trip? I’ve been suspended and just left the hospital, so I haven’t paid much
attention. I only came to work at the office today.”
“Congratulations. You finally returned to work, Linda. This time, you shouldn’t be so rude and impulsive
anymore. I’m worried that everyone will humiliate you, and you will get suspended again.”
Linda had wanted to provoke Elisa, but she never imagined that Elisa would say such infuriating words!
This stupid wench! Dumb vixen!
She took a breath and said, “Other people might not be able to understand, but you should know how I
felt back then, Liz. Did it really happen because I was rude and impulsive?”
Elisa smiled. “Who knows? Anyway, I hope that you learned your lesson, Linda. Don’t stumble over the
same thing or the same person. It would make you seem quite idiotic.”
“You…!” The rage in Linda’s heart suddenly rose, but… at the next moment, she furrowed her brows
tightly. What does Elisa mean by that?
Stumble over the same person?
Does this woman know something?
But at the next moment, she shook her head. It was impossible. There was no way Elisa knew that
Linda was working with other people. Linda must be overthinking. She said in a low voice to Elisa,
“When are you coming back? Come over and visit us.”
Elisa smiled. “I heard your family’s villa and other real estate have been sold, and you’re living in a
rental. Is Uncle Norman starting a new business? Why is your family in such dire straits?”
Linda answered, “What do you mean?!”
Sold off? Are they staying in a rental? How is this possible?!
Elisa smiled and said calmly, “I’m not too sure. I only heard about it on my business trip. Why is your
family living such a miserable life now?”
Linda was stupefied.
Did Elisa hear about it on her business trip? She’s with Gareth. Was Elisa at one side when Thomas
and Gareth talked about it?
Then what Thomas and Gareth said must be the truth!
