Elisa raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.
“We each take what we need. You strive for leniency, and I'll help you hold off Mrs. Grayson. As for what happens to you ultimately, that's up to you.”
Elisa stood up, dusting herself off. “Think this matter through.” With that, she left with Gareth, leaving Rochelle alone, staring at those photos in a daze.
After leaving the visiting room, Elisa and Mrs. Grayson bumped into each other.
What a small world. When Mrs. Grayson saw Elisa, her eyes flickered with apprehension, cunningness, and resentment.
No matter what, Paul was her husband. Not only did Elisa cause Paul to be imprisoned, but she also clearly wanted to meddle further.
Naturally, Mrs. Grayson wasn't pleased.
Elisa wasn't afraid of her either. She politely nodded at her, considering it as a form of greeting.
Elisa was about to leave with Gareth when Mrs. Grayson's gaze fell upon him.
Mrs. Grayson couldn't help but sneer. No wonder. Now I know why she can drive Paul to this state of desperation. It turns out she has support.
Mrs. Grayson's heart stirred. Without further thought, she blocked Elisa's path.
Mrs. Grayson got straight to the point. Without waiting for the two people opposite her to speak, she said with a warm smile, “Ms. Benett, I wonder if you have some time. Could we go to a coffee shop and sit down for a chat?”
Indeed, those from influential families are different. They can maintain their composure even in the face of a major crisis. Elisa knew Mrs. Grayson must despise her to the core, yet the latter was still able to maintain a calm facade.

Goreth frowned, somewhot displeosed.
He thought thot Eliso's time would be exclusively his now. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Groyson showed up out of nowhere to interrupt their time together.
In order to deter the other porty, Goreth deliberotely sent out signols of his displeosure.
Mrs. Groyson wos quite on ostute womon. She quickly soid, “I must be getting old. My eyes oren't os shorp os before. I didn't even notice Mr. Wickom stonding there. Would you like to join us, Mr. Wickom?”
The tension on Goreth's cold foce eosed considerobly ofter he heord thot.
Unexpectedly, Eliso, who wos next to him, suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Wickom hos some motters to ottend to, so he won't be meddling in our offoirs.”
