Chapter 1596 Don't You Believe Me
Julia heaved a sigh. "What about your promise then? I've told them that you and Gareth will be there. If you don't show up… Sigh! Forget about it. I'm prepared to lose face. It's all Gareth's and my fault. If I insisted on stopping you at that time, you guys… Oh, I should stop talking about it. Elisa, we have let you down. I know I shouldn't force you to stay."
Julia's voice cracked as she spoke.
Elisa felt sorry to hear an elder speak in such a manner. However, despite feeling disturbed, she wasn't a saint and couldn't keep selflessly sacrificing for others without considering her own feelings.
She changed the topic. "Grandma, what's the urgent matter you want to tell me?"
In fact, Elisa knew Julia used it as an excuse to hold her back, while the real intention was to set Gareth and her up. Nonetheless, she didn't expose Julia.
Since Elisa asked the question, Julia was forced to make up an answer to avoid awkwardness. So, she continued hesitantly, "Elisa, I know you're occupied at work. Actually… I've been looking into the stock market recently, and the market conditions look pleasant. Can you get someone to help me?"
"Huh?" Elisa thought there was no urgent matter but didn't expect such a request from Julia. Confused, she asked, "Grandma, are you sure you want me to do it? Shouldn't Gareth be more experienced than me?"
Elisa had only taken over the business after she and Gareth divorced, and she wasn't as experienced as Gareth.
Julia nodded. "Yes, I'm sure. Because I don't intend to let Gareth know about this matter. This person can help me prove one thing. You're the only one I can trust now, Elisa. Are you willing to help me?"
Seeing Julia's sincere expression, Elisa couldn't bring herself to turn her down.
However, Julia hadn't gotten to the main point—how did she want Elisa to help her?
Elisa pressed her lips and directly asked, "Grandma, can you make it clearer? You mentioned the favorable stock market, the person, and that the person can prove something. What exactly is the thing?"
Elisa was perplexed at Julia's ambiguous statements.
The truth was Julia hadn't made proper plans and couldn't directly tell Elisa at that moment.
After hesitating briefly, Julia uttered slowly, "That person… Sigh! That person holds crucial evidence that is unfavorable to my maternal family. I can't watch them be impacted. Elisa, this relative of mine, previously had a dispute with Gareth, so I can't go to Gareth because he won't care about it. You're the only person I can turn to. Besides, his days are numbered, and he heard you're a skillful medical practitioner. So, I thought of asking you." Julia attempted to persuade Elisa for that reason.
Elisa didn't answer. Julia became nervous when she observed Elisa's expression. "Elisa, don't you believe me?"
Elisa denied it. "It's not that, Grandma. To be honest, I've been very occupied at work recently. You can ask Gareth to handle it. He's more professional than me in business matters. I can come over if you need treatment. But…"
