Chapter 1591 You’re Going To Ask For Forgiveness?
Thomas' heart began to race as he saw Elisa's name on his caller ID.
He was contemplating coming clean with her.
Julia noticed that Thomas was frozen on the spot, his phone in his hand. "Thomas, what's wrong? Why
aren't you answering?" she asked.
Thomas took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Wickam, it's Elisa on the phone."
Thomas had been upfront with Julia about his plans since he met her at Wickam Manor.
When she realized that Elisa was the one calling, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she glared at him.
"Why are you telling me this? You two are both morons! Do you think Elisa wouldn't figure out what
you're up to?"
Julia placed her hands on her chest, feeling an uneasy weight pressing down on her.
She had thought of a perfect plan to reunite them.
And this was the plan that they went with.

Thomas hung his head in shame, feeling guilty for his foolish plan.
At the same time, he became worried about what Julia had warned him about.
If Elisa had already figured out his plans, wouldn't he be making a fool of himself by acting like this?
'Bang! Bang!'
Julia banged her walking stick on the floor twice.
Thomas' eyes widened in surprise as he heard the noise.
Julia glared at him with a scowl. "Why haven't you answered the phone yet? Do you need her to call
you again?"
Thomas shook his head. "No. Of course not."
He immediately accepted the call.
Elisa was about to give up when she heard Thomas' voice on the other end of the line.
"Ms. Bennett."
She was momentarily startled by her name being mentioned on the other end of the line, but she
quickly recovered her composure.
She knitted her brows and asked, "I just finished my work. How are things going there? Should I come
over, or will you pick me up?"
He had to go through with the lie he had made up, no matter what.
Thomas took a deep breath and said, "I told Mr. Wickam about the Ganoderma Caligo. He had to pay
the price for not listening to you. Ms. Bennett, you should come to the hospital to help."
Thomas sighed deeply as he finished talking.
What a liar.
She didn't call him out on his lie. "Okay," she responded quickly. "Where are you right now? The
hospital?"
She figured Thomas was most likely at Gareth's house.
Oh? "Ms. Elisa, I'm at the Manor Residence," he answered.

Thomas hung up the phone and relayed to Gareth what had happened.
He decided to be honest. "Mr. Wickam," he announced. "I'm going to come clean with Ms. Benett when
she gets here and ask for her forgiveness."
"You're going to ask for forgiveness? Don't make things worse. Why stop there?" Julia sneered.
Thomas didn't understand what Julia was getting at. "I don't understand," he said.
If Elisa was going to be here in person, we wouldn't be able to keep the truth from her any longer.
Wouldn't it be worse if she found out the truth on her own?
Julia's eyes grew cold with indignation. "Why are you so dense? If you tell her that you were lying all
the while, wouldn't you be implicating Gareth? She'll think that Gareth made you do it."
Her eyes burned with fury as she glared at Gareth.
Thomas was afraid to speak up, seeing how her temper sparked with flames.
Meanwhile, Will had Elisa at the Manor Residence within forty minutes.
No one was at the gate, but Gareth saw everything from the house's terrace.
