Monica's face turned black when she saw Elisa.

Elisa sat silently.
Monica was an elder. Grandma would be in a tight spot if Elisa talked back to Monica.
Even if Elisa didn’t care about others, she cared for grandma. She mustn't argue with Monica when Julia is present. Although Julia would side with her, she shouldn't strain Julia and Monica's relationship any further.
Julia glared. “Monica!” Monica was exasperated. “Mom, you know what she’s done. She caused trouble for our family and even worked with our enemies. How could you still treat her as a beloved granddaughter? Is she worth the title?” Elisa stared at Monica with scorn.
If they hadn't pushed her over the edge, she wouldn't have done all those things. She was even merciful towards them just for Grandma and Grandpa's sake.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the divorce was finalized, she could have exposed the way they had treated her on the Web. With just a few words, she had no doubt that Wickam Group would have lost the contract! Even in the court case, she had countless other points to be used. The ten billion compensation was only the tip of the iceberg.
She could have multiplied that amount, but she held back. And they thought that was the extent of her abilities? Julia scoffed. “Worth? Are you worthy of your title, then? Have you ever been respectful towards me in all the years you have been my daughter-in-law? Elisa has been devoted to this family and to me for the past few years. Have you even done half of what she’s done?” “Mom, you...!" Monica paused, unable to come up with words before she regained her composure. “All that she has done is a performance of her so-called devotion! The things that I've done may not be eye-catching, but they are from my heart!” “Oh, really?” Julia smiled. “Can you show me one thing that you have done that | don’t know about?” Monica's face flushed red, unable to come up with words.
Ever since she had married into the family, all she had cared for was herself. She hadn't cared for Julia at all. Julia was soft- hearted and had never pestered Monica. After some time, Monica held her in contempt.
Elisa pulled Julia's hand and smiled. “Grandma, you don't need to defend me. I'm not ashamed of the things that I've done. I'll listen to you and grandpa. | never take to heart the words of others.” Hearing that Elisa had never taken her words to heart, Monica was infuriated.
“Elisa! Do you think that you're better than us? You've been going against Wickam Group time and time again. The people's reaction on the Web is against you. Do you believe you're still in the clear?!” Elisa laughed softly. “If Mrs. Wickam thinks that I'm in the wrong, so be it.” Elisa didn’t detest Monica. She genuinely believed that whatever others thought about her was of no concern to her.
Julia looked at Elisa incredulously. She never knew that Elisa had such patience. She always thought that Elisa had endured everything for Gareth. But now, it seemed that she was never bothered by them in the first place.
Julia clasped Elisa's hand. “My precious granddaughter! You didn’t let me down!” Previous Chapter Next Chapter
