Chapter 287 Her Dad’s Hard Work!
“Mr. Wickam, there was a lawsuit between Ben and Jasper today. Ben won.”
Gareth wrinkled his brows slightly. He looked at Thomas. Although he didn’t explicitly say it, his meaning was clear. Did Thomas really have to report such things to him?
Thomas rubbed the tip of his nose and continued, “The lawyer who represented Ben was Ms. Benett.”
Gareth’s brows instantly froze. He immediately thought of the last time Elisa was interviewed by the media. The man standing behind her was Ben.
Thomas understood what Gareth meant and continued reporting.
“Ben looked for Ms. Markee at first and wanted to trick her. He used the excuse of Ms. Markee losing to get compensation of fifty million to recover from his losses. Ms. Benett helped Ms. Markee get out of that and asked for this agreement. The news I heard from Ben’s side was that the four billion that they received will be given to Ms. Benett.”
Gareth’s brows furrowed. She was taking revenge on Rachel’s behalf so that Ben wouldn’t have anything.
He had previously asked Elisa to name a figure, but she earned a few billion so easily.
Gareth raised his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose. “I understand.”
Thomas nodded. That was all he had to report. He had nothing else to say, so he left.
Gareth was the only one left in the office.
His expression was calm, but there was an infinite convoluted mess deep in his eyes. A moment later, his cell phone rang with notifications.
—Vincent: ‘Bro, your ex-wife is always making big waves. Even if she left the marriage with nothing, she isn’t short of money. With this lawsuit alone, she earned four billion.’
—Jeremy: ‘Gareth, there are some things that you really need to reconsider.’
Jeremy always spoke in a direct manner, but now…
He had repeated himself three times over what happened between Gareth and Elisa.
Even though he never elaborated, but… he would never talk about something three times.
It was needless to say how important this was.
Gareth wrinkled his brows and finally replied.
—Gareth: ‘I know what to do.’
With that, he put his cell phone down. He picked up his pen and wanted to continue working, but he couldn’t comprehend a single word on his documents. What was in his mind was Elisa looking brave and formidable with her sharp tongue in court.
It was impossible to get rid of the memory of that day in his mind.
…
After Elisa and Rachel parted ways, Elisa called Norman.
Norman chuckled as he answered the call. “Hey Liz, why did you suddenly call your Uncle Norman for?”
Elisa smiled. “I was afraid that you were busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you. I called you because I was wondering if I can come into the office tomorrow?” Elisa asked in a polite manner.
Norman’s expression froze, but he guffawed in the next instant. “Of course! Good girl, you’re finally willing to come into the office. Come to the office as usual tomorrow. Your cousin will personally bring you around. You can just meet her at the office tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Unexpectedly, Elisa asked, “Is Linda doing alright? Can she go to the hospital?”
“Ah, your cousin is too strong-willed. She didn’t want to delay her work, so she came to work in a wheelchair. Her secretary looks after her.” In other words, Linda was working very hard.
Elisa responded. “I see. So I’ll be coming over tomorrow. Sorry to trouble you and Linda.”
“Haha, silly girl, why are you so formal with your uncle? Liz, Uncle Norman has something to do right now, so I’ll contact you again tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
The two of them hung up. Elisa looked at her cell phone and pondered.
The night was particularly quiet. Elisa slept extremely well. When she got up in the morning, she got ready and left because she was going to work.
She was going back to Benett Corporation!
This was her dad’s hard work!
