She was already injured. Those lurking enemies were still after her. If she showed herself in public, chances were, they would attack her, which would tamper with the investigation. It would be better for him to do it alone.

Gareth said indifferently, "I dropped by the police station just now and gave them a sum of money."

Elisa's eyes flickered as she made sense of his words.

She nodded, "Right. It had to be done.

She knew Gareth's next course of action. The Phoenix Bridge was surrounded by scenic views and was indeed worthy of being developed. But once the development took place, everything would change as well.

The absence of jurisdiction had encumbered law and order in this place. Sooner or later, the federal government would find a way to subdue this place.

The most pivotal step to undertake was to make amendments and consolidate law and order in this place. Eventually, progressiveness would take place.

"So, how long will you be here?"

"Until you're healed."

Elisa was stunned, "No, no need. I am mobile now, and I can go back any time."

Gareth snorted coldly. He had just sounded her for being stubborn, and now she did it again?

Elisa seemed to get his notion. She pursed her lips and bit her tongue.

Whatever floats his boat. It wouldn't matter to her if the progress faltered. So, up to him then.

"How did you feel today? Does your wound still hurt?"

Elisa looked at him in surprise. Seeing his stern and somewhat awkward expression, she retracted her gaze and said, "Same as yesterday."

Gareth cast his gaze at her, "Grandma called me just now."

Elisa was taken aback by his words. Gareth wouldn't have told her if it wasn't about her.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two of them was congruous. Although Gareth still exuded a domineering and cold aura, Elisa was able to subjugate it. She wasn't affected by his pensive aura. On the contrary, their distinctive magnetic fields gradually integrated into equilibrium, and nobody could intervene in their presence.

"What did grandma say?"

Gareth withdrew his gaze and said, "She is very down today because I haven't convinced you to come back to me. She is getting older now. The chances of getting to cuddle her great-grandchildren are getting bleak."

Elisa was caught off guard. She simpered, "I know Grandma really wants us to get back together. I can tell that she is very fond of me. But we have to be realistic and know that there are things beyond Grandma's wishes. We can't get back together just because she wishes us to. We both know how we strayed from each other. I do not have any feelings for you anymore, and you have always hated me. We are not suitable for each other. It's impossible for us to reconcile and return to how things used to be."

Gareth glowered at her words.

Elisa seemed to be oblivious to his emotions. She fixed his gaze on him and asked, "What did you tell Grandma after she told you all these?"

He sneered coldly, "What do you think?"

His composure faded in that instant.

His gaze sharpened.

Elisa furrowed, and she looked at him puzzled, "I know you want to please Grandma, but are you going to wait until the day she's gone? I do not intend to get married again. But what about you? Are you going to let time slip away and have no child of your own? How can the Wickam family sustain its bloodline without an heir?"

Elisa said the last sentence with a hint of sarcasm.
