At the same time, Gareth was not pleased with Mr. Lynch, believing that Mr. Lynch was trying to take
advantage of Elisa.
Mr. Lynch's face darkened when he heard Gareth's firm refusal.
However, he remained kneeling. His eyes, filled with emotion, were still fixed on Elisa.
Although Gareth interrupted her, it was because he was concerned for her.
She helped the Lynch family with the goal of bringing down Norman.
Therefore, she needed them to be healthy and well so that they could go to court.
He would be in a better state to go against Norman if his body and mind were at ease.
But adopting Stacy…
It wasn't what she had thought about before.
"You don't have to worry about that. I told you before that you just need to focus on recovering while I
take care of Stacy. If you're worried, I can give you some money and help you find a job once
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteverything is over."
She was confident that Mr. Lynch would get better.
If he recovered, he wouldn't have to worry about being unable to take care of Stacy anymore.
She also wouldn't have to adopt her or get involved in their family's affairs.
"Ms. Benett, I know you have everything planned, but I'm still worried about Norman. He's ruthless, and
he'll never let me go. He tried to take everything from me, including my wife. He even had her killed. He
thought he could get away with it because I had nothing on him, but I had been recording our
conversations all along. Even with your help this time, I'm still uneasy. Ms. Benett, I beg you to help me
care for Stacy. Please."
He started to bow down to her as he spoke.
A loud thud echoed through the room when his head hit the floor.
Elisa looked at him silently, her face growing more serious.
Gareth was growing increasingly annoyed as the scene unfolded before him.
What is he trying to accomplish?
He is clearly trying to manipulate her with guilt.
Elisa helped them out of the goodness of her heart, even though she did not have to.
Although Elisa was using the Lynch family to bring down Norman, she was also genuinely interested in
helping them start over and get justice for his wife.
The Lynch family benefited greatly from Elisa's help.
Elisa helped the Lynch family in many ways, including sending Stacy to school, finding them a place to
live, and promising to help Mr. Lynch pay for his medical treatment.
She also agreed to find him a decent job.
Elisa had already gone above and beyond. But Mr. Lynch still wanted more from her.
Elisa is kind-hearted, but she should not be taken advantage of.

As he thought about this, he glared at Mr. Lynch with a cold expression. "If it weren't for Elisa, you
would still live in that dilapidated house. You would still be struggling to make ends meet. You would
never have been able to cure your illness, send your daughter to school, or get justice for your late
wife. But Elisa helped you achieve all of that. You have no right to ask for more."
Gareth's face became increasingly grim. His dark eyes fixed Mr. Lynch with a serious and unwavering
gaze.
This was the first time Gareth had spoken so much to a stranger.
In reality, Gareth wanted Elisa to hear his words. He didn't want her to accept Mr. Lynch's ridiculous
request without thinking it through.
It was normal to want to help them, but she shouldn't let him take advantage of her.
Elisa knew that Gareth's words were meant for her, and she understood why he said them.
"My friend's words echo my own. If you face any trouble in the future, I can still help you. But don't be
so pessimistic about the future. Don't worry; I won't let anything bad happen to you or Stacy," Elisa said
calmly, hoping to assuage Mr. Lynch's concerns.
She had been monitoring Norman's activities. If he did anything suspicious, she would be aware of it.
