FreeNovelChapter 2013 Cold Attitude This trick indeed worked. Rachel looked up at him. “You're the one who lost, not me. Even if you lose, | won't.” Seeing Rachel finally speak, Vincent laughed like a triumphant fox, quickly following up on Rachel's words. “Indeed, Rachel the Great Lawyer is invincible and undefeatable, so surely you will not lose. It's just that I'm not good with words. Ms. Markee, have you finally decided to paysattention?” Hearing this, Rachel fell silent again.” Vincent also didn’t seem to be in the mood to keep the conversation going. They didn’t exchange many words throughout the journey.
Over at Elisa's, she notified Gareth and Bella, asking them to drive over and pick her up. Then, they would all go to Wickam Manor to fetch Julia, and the four of them would head to the hot springs together.
In her view, there was no reason for Julia to refuse.
But when she made the call, it was immediately cut off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa was somewhat taken aback, as she had never encountered such a situation before..
Either the call got picked up instantly, or Julia had fallen asleep and the call just couldn't get through.
What's the deal with this abrupt hanging up? In Wickam Manor, Kaylee looked at the disconnected call, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Elisa probably never imagined that there would ca day when she would be hung up on, right? Elisa made two more calls, both of which were hung up on too.
She was so anxious that she thought something bad had happened. Just as she was about to call Maria, Julia’s call finally came.
When Elisa connected the call, she let out a sigh of relief. “Grandma, what are you up to? You weren't answering the phone. | thought something had happened at home. You gavequite a scare.” Over there, there was an eerie silence.
After about a minute or two of silence, Elisa sensed something was off. She repeatedly checked on the other end of the phone.
“Grandma, are you still there? Can you hear me?” “Grandma?” After asking like this four or five times, Julia's voice finally cthrough.
“Is there something you need?” She spoke in a strictly business-like tone without a hint of emotion.
Julia had never spoken to Elisa in such a tone before. She had always been cheerful when answering the phone. You could even feel her happiness through the calls.

12 The feeling it gave Elisa was very odd.
Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Elisa spoke up. “Grandma, we're planning to go soak in the hot springs. Winter is here, after all, and soaking in the hot springs is beneficial for health and blood circulation.” There was another bout of eerie silence. After a while, Julia responded indifferently with a single word, “Oh.” Elisa couldn't help but ask, “Grandma, are you feeling unwell?” Julia's response this twas much quicker.
“No.” Elisa felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. All she could do was tentatively ask. “We'll pick you up in a bit, and we'll go to the hot springs together, okay?” “Sure.” Julia's response was still brief. Perhaps she simply didn’t want to waste her breath.
But she had never treated Elisa like this before.
Elisa was genuinely taken aback and wanted to ask more, but the call was abruptly ended on the other end, She stared at the phone with her brows furrowed, utterly baffled.
On the other hand, Kaylee, after hanging up the phone, was looking at Julia, who seemed a bit dazed. She was quite pleased.
Elisa probably can't figure out why Julia is being so cold toward her, can she? MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
