Chapter 514

and answered, “Why are you asking this out of the blue?”He almost blurted to Gareth about how rude it was for him to say such insensitive words.Gareth did not seem to realize anything wrong with his words. He simply answered, “Mr. Markee, you wish to help your old friend achieve his dreams. But you can’t do it. Perhaps I can help you.” James hesitated for a moment. Then he chuckled, “There is no free lunch in this world. I don’t think I’ll be able to repay you.”Elisa frowned lightly. She glanced at Gareth. Was he planning on getting Uncle James on his side? Then he could have Uncle James convince me to work with him.But Uncle James likes Will more.Elisa leaned against her bedhead. She did not plan to interfere in this.The two men continued exchanging opinions. But it was all just small talk.Nevertheless… Elisa could feel Gareth’s sincerity. He had offered quite a few benefits that seemed appealing to James. But the next moment, he smiled. “We appreciate your sincere offer, Mr. Wickam. But as you can see, I’m occupied with many tedious tasks. If I make the wrong decision, I might get into deep trouble. Elisa is my old friend’s daughter. I must protect her no matter what.”Gareth glanced at the woman coldly and answered in a calm voice. “Elisa is my grandma’s biological granddaughter.”Elisa was stunned.She turned toward Gareth. Is he trying to use his connections now?A moment later, Elisa answered calmly, “Mr. Wickam, you can talk to Norman about many things. You don’t have to waste so much time on Uncle James. You make me feel as if you must have me. Or is it… An illusion?”The sarcasm in her words was extremely obvious.Gareth pursed his lips. The look in his eyes was icy.
