Chapter 127 How Thick-Skinned of You
Elisa and Julia raised their heads.
Monica’s face turned black when she saw Elisa.
“How thick-skinned of you to come to our house!” Monica snapped.
Elisa sat silently.
Monica was an elder. Grandma would be in a tight spot if Elisa talked back to Monica.
Even if Elisa didn’t care about others, she cared for grandma. She mustn’t argue with Monica when
Julia is present. Although Julia would side with her, she shouldn’t strain Julia and Monica’s relationship
any further.
Julia glared. “Monica!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMonica was exasperated. “Mom, you know what she’s done. She caused trouble for our family and
even worked with our enemies. How could you still treat her as a beloved granddaughter? Is she worth
the title?”
Elisa stared at Monica with scorn.
If they hadn’t pushed her over the edge, she wouldn’t have done all those things. She was even
merciful towards them just for Grandma and Grandpa’s sake.
After the divorce was finalized, she could have exposed the way they had treated her on the Web. With
just a few words, she had no doubt that Wickam Group would have lost the contract!
Even in the court case, she had countless other points to be used. The ten billion compensation was
only the tip of the iceberg. She could have multiplied that amount, but she held back. And they thought
that was the extent of her abilities?
Julia scoffed. “Worth? Are you worthy of your title, then? Have you ever been respectful towards me in
all the years you have been my daughter-in-law? Elisa has been devoted to this family and to me for
the past few years. Have you even done half of what she’s done?”
“Mom, you…!” Monica paused, unable to come up with words before she regained her composure. “All
that she has done is a performance of her so-called devotion! The things that I’ve done may not be
eye-catching, but they are from my heart!”
“Oh, really?” Julia smiled. “Can you show me one thing that you have done that I don’t know about?”
Monica’s face flushed red, unable to come up with words.
Ever since she had married into the family, all she had cared for was herself. She hadn’t cared for Julia
at all. Julia was soft-hearted and had never pestered Monica. After some time, Monica held her in
contempt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa pulled Julia’s hand and smiled. “Grandma, you don’t need to defend me. I’m not ashamed of the
things that I’ve done. I’ll listen to you and grandpa. I never take to heart the words of others.”
Hearing that Elisa had never taken her words to heart, Monica was infuriated.
“Elisa! Do you think that you’re better than us? You’ve been going against Wickam Group time and time
again. The people’s reaction on the Web is against you. Do you believe you’re still in the clear?!”
Elisa laughed softly. “If Mrs. Wickam thinks that I’m in the wrong, so be it.”
Elisa didn’t detest Monica. She genuinely believed that whatever others thought about her was of no
concern to her.
Julia looked at Elisa incredulously. She never knew that Elisa had such patience. She always thought
that Elisa had endured everything for Gareth. But now, it seemed that she was never bothered by them
in the first place.
Julia clasped Elisa’s hand. “My precious granddaughter! You didn’t let me down!”
