Chapter 353 A Little Blind
“Ms. Benett is Wisteria.”
Will stopped what he was doing and looked at Cole coldly.
Cole stiffened slightly, but he continued his report, “That day, Ms. Benett was not at home or the law firm. Through the surveillance record, I saw her coming out of her unit door in disguise. Later, it was Carle who sent her back.”
Will remained silent, so Cole forced himself to continue presenting his report. “After Carle left, Ms. Benett returned to her unit. Then, I saw Mr. Wickam… He entered through the unit door. When they were in the same elevator, Mr. Wickam kept trying to subdue Ms. Benett until they stepped out of the elevator on Ms. Benett’s floor. Less than thirty minutes later, Mr. Wickam re-entered the elevator in a bad mood.”
Will gripped his phone tightly.
“It really was her.”
No wonder she seemed familiar that day.
No wonder I sensed Gareth was wrong.
I should have guessed it sooner!
After pausing for a moment, Will looked at Cole and said in a deep voice. “Why did it take so long to provide me with the answer?”
Cole’s expression changed, and he said in a panic, “I… I did not expect this matter to be related to Ms. Benett. Therefore, we investigated from the wrong angle from the beginning. Mr. Darcey, I know my mistake and am willing to accept any punishment. I will not repeat the same mistake!”
Will gave a chilling gaze and said sternly, “What else?”
He was not asking whether Cole had any more guarantee. In actuality, he wanted to know if there were any other matters concerning Elise.
Cole shook his head. “We haven’t found anything else for now. Should I continue to investigate her mother’s identity?”
“Yes. I also need you to investigate the cause of her father’s death.”
Cole nodded respectfully.
Then, Will looked at Cole emotionlessly. “I’ll only forgive your carelessness this time. I have no room for incompetent people.”
Cole stiffened nervously but was quick to respond courteously, “Yes, sir.”
Seeing that Will had no other instructions, Cole retreated from the room.
Will was now alone in his office, watching a video of Elisa and Nicole. They seemed to be talking about something. The thought turned Will’s gaze even more intimidating.
Then, he sent Elisa a message.
—Will: It seems wild cats are all disobedient.
Elisa sensed her phone vibrating. She read Will’s message and could not understand it.
—Elisa:?
…
At the same time, Julia was watching the live broadcast.
Her eyes beamed with joy. She said excitedly, “They really got back together!”
Jerry sat beside Old Madam Wickam. Helplessness flashed across his eyes.
Julia looked at Elisa and Gareth on the screen happily. She could not resist laughing. “If this goes on, do you think they have a chance of reconciliation?”
Jerry did not know what to say.
However, Julia sensed something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking. She looked at Elisa and Gareth closely on the live broadcast and hesitated before saying, “The two of them suddenly turned this way. To be precise, Gareth’s mood changed more drastically between them. This brat… Did he notice that I’m not well and decide to put on a show for me?”
Jerry seemed conflicted, while Julia continued, “After all, in these few years, didn’t they put on an act whenever they attended a banquet?”
Then, Julia signed and gradually put down her phone. “Gareth is good in every aspect. However, he is blind when it comes to emotions.”
