Chapter 134
Zachary hung up immediately; he understood Elisa’s character well. No matter how he treated her—whether ignoring her or being rude—she would always bounce back. Unless she was physically incapacitated, even tarnishing her reputation wouldn’t deter her. After the call, Clive’s expression darkened, and he couldn’t resist calling his sister to lecture her once more. Meanwhile, Elisa was already en route home in a taxi.
“Clive, I’m on my way home. I didn’t do anything outrageous today. My IQ is limited, so I can’t think of anything extraordinary,” she said.
“If you put as much effort into spending time with Mom as you do chasing Zachary, she would be much happier,” Clive replied.
“I do spend time with Mom, but she suffers from a mental illness that requires emotional support. It’s true I’m her favorite, but I can’t be her cure,” Elisa explained.
Audrey’s wish was to reunite with her sister, who had been separated from her for decades. Her sister had been placed in various families within the system, and Audrey had lost track of her whereabouts. All she wanted was to reconnect with her sister in this lifetime.
“By the way, I need your help with something,” Elisa said to Clive.
“What is it?” he asked, willing to assist as long as it didn’t involve helping her pursue Zachary.
“I met a girl earlier, Serenity Hunt. She made a great impression on me, and we really clicked. It’s about that online incident I mentioned before. Serenity’s relatives went too far. Can you dismiss that Hunt guy? I don’t want him to affect our company’s reputation,” she requested.
Clive responded nonchalantly, “There’s no need for me to personally handle something trivial like this.”
“Has someone already gotten to him?” Elisa inquired.
“I didn’t do anything. He was probably already….”
He was suspended from his duties. His subordinates would take care of the situation. John was merely working at a branch office. Despite his capabilities, the incident escalated and exposed his true character. Clive had no interest in someone like him.
