Elisa's somber mood eased upon seeing Rachel.
Meanwhile, Gareth was being reprimanded.
"You, just look at yourself. It hasn't even been a few days since the wedding beca farce. Can't you find solutions to other matters? You have always claimed to be exceptional since you were young, and you are even at the top of the industry. Yet this foolishness of yours is truly pushingto the brink!" Julia scolded vehemently while forcefully tapping her cane on the ground.
Elisa remained assertive.
Noticing Elisa's growing displeasure, she hastily smiled, attempting to divert the topic. "I thought you two had returned together, so | asked him to pass the phone so | could speak to you. Elisa, are you planning to cover today? We had quite a scene that Grandma can't stop talking about.” She had exhausted all possible solutions and said everything she needed to say.
This wretched boy is a huge disappointment.
Gareth listened attentively as Julia critiqued him without uttering a word in response.
Julia was still not appeased and was about to yap on with her chidings when Darren interjected, "Enough already! We advised him not to divorce, but he didn't listen. Now that the marriage is over, if Elisa still intended to reconcile, why hasn't she done so after all this time?" Darren had been instrumental in facilitating the marriage. Elisa, now in charge of Benett Corporation amidst the recent debacles, faced intense scrutiny regarding her actions.
Darren and Julia's hopes for reconciliation were slowly fading.

Darren's face turned dark as he stated the truth, but Julia remained reproachful.
His displeasure grew when he responded with a hint of ire, "Yes, it was my idea. He was already an adult then, and Benett Corporation was equally powerful. Isn't a strong alliance beneficial? Who could have anticipated your wretched grandson's lack of ambition? It has been three years, and not only has he failed to have a child, but now this? You are chasing a lost cause!" Monica, who was upstairs preparing to descend, couldn't help but be startled upon hearing those words.
Monica was surprised that Darren was informed of the current affairs and realized that Gareth's pursuit was futile and unattainable.
Regardless, she was determined to have a serious conversation with Gareth.
