Kaylee merely smiled without saying a word.
Anyway, Darren had plenty of time to play with her.
Meanwhile, things weren't looking great for Gareth.
Joseph was also stalling him. If he didn't leave within an hour, the man would follow Winslow's orders and put him on a plane back to Bayswe.
Time slowly ticked away. Just as Joseph was about to make a move, Gareth received a call from Darren.
Darren's voice was filled with unprecedented urgency and seriousness over the phone. “Gareth, you need to come back immediately. Your grandmother has passed out. I've taken her to the hospital, but she shows no signs of regaining consciousness. This time, Kaylee said if she doesn't see you within three days, your grandmother will die!”
Gareth had known there was something off about Kaylee.
But he had never thought that she would choose such a crucial moment to make her move.
On one hand, there was Elisa, who hadn't been brought back yet. On the other, there was his own grandmother, a blood relative. They were both dear and important. Verily, he was unwilling to give up either of them.
But at that moment, he had to make a decision for his grandmother.
“All right, I'm coming back now.”
At the same time, he informed Thomas about it.
As his trusted subordinate, Thomas was naturally left behind by him to follow up on Elisa's matter.
However, Joseph disdained Thomas. “Mr. Knowles has made it clear that you're not allowed around Ms. Benett anymore. So, how could your subordinates be allowed to stay? If you're leaving, take them all with you. Don't force us to take action and waste our energy and resources!”
He still vividly remembered the scene where Gareth and Elisa crushed him in gambling.
