Chapter 410 Couldn’t Get Any Useful Information
Gareth wrinkled his brows yet again, and the cold air in the office seemed to be thicker than before.
It seemed to have even passed through the phone, and Linda shivered.
Her expression changed slightly, and she took a breath in before she said, “I’ve been suspended at work.”
Gareth’s expression dulled a little.
But the next moment, it was as if he didn’t know anything. He tried to make his voice gentler. “What happened?”
Linda’s brows wrinkled tightly. From the start, she didn’t agree to call Gareth, but her mother forced her to do it. After talking to her for half the day, her mother said that it could make Gareth hate Elisa even more. After that, they could carry out the next step of their perfect plan. But would it really work?!
Linda gritted her teeth. At this stage in time, she could only go on.
“It’s involved with the company’s classified information. I can’t tell you, but… I never thought that Liz would misunderstand me. Garry, it’s like we’re estranged. Liz has now started to threaten and scorn me. What should I do to make her be on good terms with me like before…”
At that moment, Linda put on a great pretense. She didn’t seem like a person who had driven a wedge in other relationships. She seemed like a helpless cousin instead.
Gareth restrained his impatience and said, “If you don’t tell me, how would I know what to do?”
Linda’s eyes flashed. She could only say in a slightly crying tone, “I… that’s right, you’re not an outsider. Yesterday, Liz showed me a proposal and said that she wants to work with the Darcey Group, but Mr. Darcey mentioned her by name and wanted her to oversee it. I was afraid since Liz is inexperienced. If she messes it up, she will lose her standing, and the company’s reputation would be damaged greatly, so I turned her down.”
Gareth’s expression seemed to be colder than it already was.
Linda didn’t know Gareth’s true intentions at all. She continued lamenting, “But… Liz might have been too competitive since she had just joined the company, or maybe she had other intentions. She didn’t tell me and looked for the company’s shareholders secretly. They had a big meeting, and many people criticized me severely for being useless. They think that I shouldn’t have done such a thing, but I…”
Linda avoided the important details and dwelled on the trivial. She completely didn’t mention Elisa and the proposal.
Gareth wanted to hear the important details, but he didn’t, and he couldn’t ask about it either.
Gareth said calmly, “So you were suspended at work.”
Linda was startled. Isn’t it a big deal that she was suspended? Why is Garry downplaying it?
She took a slight breath in and said, “Garry, I’ve never been penalized like this before. I… I really did it for Liz and the company’s benefit.”
In other words, she wanted to express that Elisa didn’t understand her good intentions and had turned against her benefactor. Elisa didn’t consider the feelings of Linda, who was totally devoted to her, as her cousin. In fact, she had caused such trouble for Linda instead.
Gareth will hate Elisa, won’t he?
If that was the case, she could carry out her other plans.
But…
“Linda, you’re not in the best of health. You can take this opportunity to rest well. As for Elisa, pfft…”
The last sound he made suddenly made Linda’s eyes light up. She clenched her cell phone tight, waiting for Gareth to continue speaking, but he didn’t bring it up again.
Because he knew that he couldn’t get any useful information from Linda.
After a pause, Gareth spoke indifferently.
