Julia smiled and looked at Elisa, but when she realized that Gareth was behind Elisa, her brows furrowed, and the smile in the corner of her mouth lightened.
The next moment, she couldn’t help but ask him, “Why are you here?”
Upon closer inspection, one could hear the displeasure and resentment in her voice.
Gareth was taken aback.
The smile in the corner of Elisa’s lips deepened.
She glanced at Gareth before looking at Julia and speaking softly.
“I think his presence is a little unnecessary. Grandma, why don’t you get rid of him?”
Julia was a little astonished. Elisa had never said such a thing to her before.
Did the brat infuriate her obedient granddaughter?!
Julia’s expression turned nasty in an instant.
“You brat. Did you do something to Liz again?”
Gareth was dumbstruck.
Elisa’s lips curved slightly. She didn’t look at Gareth but held Julia’s hand and said softly, “Nothing happened, Grandma.”
“Nothing?” Julia’s brows furrowed tightly. Liz had never spoken like that before. Something was clearly up!
Gareth narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on Elisa. “Tell us. How could I bully you today?”
‘How could I bully you?’
Not ‘how did I bully you?’
Julia frowned at once. “Are there people talking nonsense again?”
“Mm. There are.” Elisa nodded without hesitation.
Gareth’s brows furrowed. He had heard about gossip in the company, but Elisa might have heard worse.
Has she suffered a lot?
When he thought about it, he suddenly saw Elisa raise her eyes and look at him with a half-smile. His eyes flickered ever so slightly.
Julia said slightly unhappily, “What did they say?”
“They said…” Elisa sighed and shook her head in frustration. “It’s fine. I better not say, as it would only ruin the mood. I can just ignore what others say. I shouldn’t get angry or take my anger out on Gareth.”
Gareth frowned slightly. Why did he feel that something was up?
