Gareth's words were pronounced with absolute clarity.

Elisa heard them distinctly and immediately turned her gaze toward him.

Elisa's puzzled look met Gareth's eyes.

He remained resolute.

This is outrageous!

"Gareth Wickham."

Elisa's face darkened, and her voice growled as she called out his name.

Gareth's tone was solemn and earnest. "Elisa, I'm not kidding," he said.

Elisa exclaimed, "You should know better, Gareth–"


Elisa had no desire to continue the argument with him. However, before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of footsteps growing closer from a distance.

It was Joseph and Henry.

"I should go. Look after yourself," Elisa murmured. She left hurriedly, knowing that was the only reminder she could offer him.

Besides, she couldn't linger any longer in his presence.

Joseph and Henry came along after she left.

Joseph's words were filled with mockery and sarcasm as he spoke about Elisa.

"Mr. North, what's up with you and Elisa?"

Since the last gambling incident, Joseph had harbored a grudge against Elisa.

Upon his return, Joseph learned that Mr. North had initiated a significant change because of Elisa. He even contemplated dismissing Brie.

Little did he know that Elisa's mere presence here could prompt Mr. North to undertake such extensive changes.

After the incident involving gambling, Gareth held a grudge against Joseph, but his resentment towards Henry was even more evident.

"Now, who would dare to disrespect her?"

Gareth's patience with Joseph was wearing thin. Yet, as he prepared to reprimand him, he couldn't overlook his own unfavorable situation.

Gareth remained uncertain about his relationship with Joseph, prompting him to be cautious and avoid exposing his plan early on.

"You're right. Nobody would want to leave after spending so many years in the industry." Joseph conceded.
