Chapter 1516 Blaming the Deceased
Gareth narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you're a small fry?"
Elisa is not someone insignificant. She has medical skills, an analytical mind, and is courageous and resourceful. Furthermore, she is efficient in investigations.
That shows she is highly skilled with computers.
She had hidden all these from me when we were married.
After we divorced, her secret identity was revealed one by one. Perhaps there are more that I don't know of.
Therefore, she is in no way a small fry.
Elisa heard Gareth's question and saw his solemn gaze. She instantly understood what he meant.
Gareth must have known her many secret identities.
She used to hide them from him, but there was no need for that now.
However, she felt she had no obligation to confess everything.
Elisa smiled and said, "Whether I'm a minor or prominent figure, isn't that something decided by others? What do you mean by that, Gareth? Are you surprised because you find me more outstanding than before? Or is it something else?"
Gareth answered flatly, "No matter what you did, you are still you. You are still Elisa, right?"
"That's true." Elisa nodded upon hearing Gareth.
No matter what I do, I can never compare to his beloved Linda.
"If there's nothing else, I'm returning to my room to rest. You can call Mr. North if you're hungry." Elisa had no mood to continue this conversation with Gareth.
She turned around after saying that, but Gareth grabbed her hand.
Elisa noticed the slight coolness of his palm as they touched.
They had physical contact a few times before, so Elisa knew his body temperature was lower than average. However, she noticed his body temperature now was even lower than before.
"Once Thomas arrives to bring you home, I will prepare a few medicines to help heal you. You can call me by phone if there's anything in the future. However, I will charge a fee for some tasks based on their complexity."
Elisa spoke frankly and sounded impersonal.
She believed it was impossible to be friends with Gareth.
Gareth did not let go and frowned upon hearing her. "Elisa, we were husband and wife. Must you treat us as strangers?"
Gareth's chest felt heavy. It felt like a huge rock was sitting on his chest.
Why must she be so impersonal? For whom is it for?
Is it because of Will?
"Are we not strangers? You wanted nothing to do with me when you gave me the divorce papers," Elisa retorted.
She struggled to free her hand from his grip.
Gareth understood her but refused to let go. "Didn't I say I will investigate those matters? I…"
"What's the point of investigating them? Isn't Linda already 'dead'?"
Elisa interrupted before Gareth could finish speaking.
Linda was dead. Even if the investigation revealed the truth, the public would still think Elisa falsified evidence to dump the blame on the deceased.
Instead, Elisa focused on searching for her mother's whereabouts, expanding Benett Corporation's business and her career.
She was not interested in clearing the misconception about her.
Gareth had spent some time with Elisa and knew what she was like.
She would usually fight back if anyone wrongly accused or hurt her.
If she doesn't retaliate, does it mean…
