Elisa was unfazed.

Before Mrs. Darcey could speak, Elisa said, "Mrs. Darcey, would you like to come in and have a seat."

Mrs. Darcey stepped into the house with her nose up high. Her security detail followed behind her.

They all wore black suits with sunglasses. They looked like extras from The Matrix.

It was a show of force. Did she come to force Will to return with her?

Elisa was bewildered.

"Ms. Benett," said Mrs. Darcey, "Your entire house could fit into my maid's quarters. The impertinence..."

"What impertinence are you talking about?" Will cut his mother off. "Mother, could you pretend to be less bitter, please?"

Will's face was as dark as a storm cloud.

He positioned his wheelchair so that Elisa was behind him.

Elisa didn't feel comfortable about this.

She didn't think Will would still try to protect her in his current state.

"Bitter?" Mrs. Darcey scoffed. "Isn't Elisa's insolence to blame for my bitterness?" She shot back.

"She didn't gain anything from divorcing Gareth. Neither does she have any authority at Benett Corporation. Can't you see she's trying to change her fortune by sinking her nails into you? Will Darcey! Did you hurt your head along with your leg?!"

Before Mrs. Darcey could speak, Elisa said, "Mrs. Darcey, would you like to come in and have a seat."

Mrs. Darcey was being excessively harsh.

She had deliberately chosen those words to hurt Will.

But she had no choice. She needed Will to realize the truth.

It was one thing to keep her near him to continue treatment. However, falling in love with her and marrying her was unacceptable.

Elisa could no longer tolerate listening to this. She grabbed the handles of Will's wheelchair and pushed him to the side. She didn't want Will to argue with his mother because of her.

Looking straight into Mrs. Darcey's eyes, she said, "I don't care if you hate me, but do you have to be so harsh towards your own son?"

Although Elisa wasn't happy about the current situation, her eyes darted towards Will, hoping Mrs. Darcey would get the hint.
