No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Meanwhile, Elisa had walked up to Gareth.

Elisa lowered her voice and said, "Gareth, while you still have the chance, bring out the real North and let him handle these matters."

"You're worried about me?" Gareth's eyes narrowed upon hearing Elisa's concern.

His eyes fixated on Elisa.

Elisa rolled her eyes and continued, "Not exactly concerned, but you're playing with fire. If you cross Mr. Knowles…"

"In that case, why not simply accuse me of offending your uncle?" Gareth interjected.

Elisa was left speechless.

Gareth's remark took her aback.

Her lips thinned into a hard line, and the disdain in her eyes toward him intensified.

"You took matters into your own hands, and look what happened. You did this!"

"I never thought of it that way," Gareth immediately retorted to her accusation.

Feeling like she was about to erupt from exasperation, she snapped, "Have it your way. You won't match up to my uncle." She turned around and stomped away.

Gareth chose not to confront Elisa while Winslow and Brie were nearby. He didn't directly approach Elisa but subtly positioned himself in front of her.

He acknowledged Elisa's worries, and he was respectful of Mr. Knowles.

But respect didn't translate into fear on his part.

"I want to be clear," he stated firmly. "Even if my true identity has been revealed, I am not afraid. You may wonder why I am pretending to be North if I have nothing to fear."

She didn't have anything to add since he already asked the question she had in mind and answered it.

Undeterred, Gareth continued, "Don't worry. I can handle it easily. If you help me, I'll commit to your cause."

Gareth uttered those words confidently.

Elisa remained silent, watching him intently.

She had always acknowledged his strength and never underestimated him, but she didn't want him to jeopardize himself.

His words would have moved her deeply in the past, but now, she felt a profound sense of serenity.
