“Yes, I will do this.” Elisa nodded in agreement. After chatting for a while, Holly could not help but feel
regretful about Elisa. She was disappointed that Elisa had married another man and could not love her
son even now.
Still, finding out about Rachel’s feelings comforted her sadness.
Holly liked Elisa, Rachel, and Sheena.
She would be happy to have any one of them as her daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, she did not have two sons. Otherwise, she would have wanted both Rachel and Sheena
as her daughters-in-law.
After chatting for a while, Holly smiled, “All right, I’ve been out for too long and need to head back to the
company. Thank you for taking care of Carle. It must have been tiring. Let me treat you all to lunch
another time.”
“Haha, it’s nothing, Mrs. Semoa. We are Carle’s close friends and grew up with him.” Rachel was more
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexcitable and did not find anything wrong with what she said.
On the other hand, Elisa wished to avoid a misunderstanding, and Sheena was too embarrassed to
speak.
Holly smiled and chatted with them for a little longer before leaving.
When Holly was with Elisa and the others, she did her best to appear approachable, so they would not
feel uncomfortable with her.
Once Holly left, Elisa, Rachel, and Sheena got up quickly. It was nearly time to return for their afternoon
shifts.
Rachel looked at Elisa and patted her shoulder. “How do you feel? Do you feel relieved?”
Elisa pursed her lips. “I can’t relax until it is over.”
After all, Carle was Elisa’s friend, and she could not bear to hurt her friend. She would have dealt with
the matter decisively if this were in the past. However, Carle had injured his head, so Elisa did not dare
to do the same this time.
Sheena could not help but sigh. Then, she comforted Elisa gently, “Looking at the way things are, I
believe everything will improve gradually. Since Mrs. Semoa knows the truth, she will gradually find
ways to get Carle to face reality. We only have to cooperate with her.”
Elisa nodded in resignation. “I suppose that’s all we can do for now. Anyway, it’s getting late. I have to
return to the company.”
“Sure, take care.”
“Yes, you too.”
…
After arriving at the company, Elisa was prepared to focus on her work.
However, the phone on her desk rang.
Elisa picked up the receiver and said, “Hello.”
“Ms. Elisa, Mr. Bennet would like you to attend a meeting in the meeting room on the top floor. You
don’t have to prepare anything.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa’s expression remained calm. “Sure, I understand.”
Then, she hung up the call and grabbed her cell phone before heading to the meeting room on the top
floor.
There were already a few people in the meeting room when she arrived. They were all shareholders of
the company.
Their expressions became complicated upon seeing her.
Elisa went to a corner seat and sat down. The meeting room was silent. No one made a sound, even
when pulling a chair to sit down.
Occasionally, one could hear footsteps of people coming in.
After around ten minutes, everyone arrived.
As usual, Norman took the seat at the head of the table.
He looked at Elisa quietly seated afar and thought of his pitiful daughter, who had to hide in a mental
institution. He hated Elisa for behaving so nonchalantly.
James noticed Norman was silent for a long time. Thus, he smiled at Norman and asked, “Mr. Benett,
can we begin?”
