Chapter 1762 Can’t You Be Replaced?
Elisa furrowed her brows and stared at him in confusion. "Why can't you ask Thomas to come here and take care of
you? I'm not your full-time housekeeper. I have my own things to do and my private life."
Gareth said coldly with a grave expression. "Thomas is a man."
Elisa was dumbfounded.
It was amusing when he said such a thing.
Elisa glared at him. "Aren't you a man too?"
Gareth made a distinction. "I'm different from Thomas."
Elisa instantly understood it when he said it.
Gareth meant that he was her ex-husband, and they used to live under the same roof. But she could count on one
hand the number of times they had met in the three years.

Gareth's logic was amusing.
But she didn't want to argue with him, so she said, "Since you don't want Thomas to come, ask Jeremy or a female
nursing assistant to come."
Gareth still disagreed. "Jeremy has been giving a few academic lectures recently, so he's traveling. As for a female
nursing assistant… How long will my recovery take? When you're not around, I can ask Thomas to deliver food to
me. I can take care of myself."
Ultimately, Gareth seemed highly confident.
Elisa said indifferently, "Up to you."
After all, there were many rooms. Elisa could just clear one for him.

Rachel and Sheena were window shopping with iced coffee in their hands. Suddenly, Rachel saw Vincent walking

smile didn't reach her eyes.
Her cold gaze was sending Vincent a message.
Vincent ignored it and walked over. "What are you doing? We seem to be on opposite sides in a recent case."
Rachel snorted. "So what?"
In their industry, the court was like a battlefield. No matter who stood opposite them, even if it were a greatly
respected teacher that used to teach them, they had a duty to their client.
Vincent said gently, "I'm not saying I want to do anything. I don't want to be on opposing ends with you. Why don't

Rachel glared at him and said, "I can't read your mind. How would I know what you mean? It's easy to find
someone who understands you."
Vincent was exasperated when he heard it.
Rachel always spoke to him aggressively.
Vincent sighed. "I didn't mean that. I just mean, can't you be replaced?"
"Who will replace me and stand opposite you? Sheena? Or Liz?"
Rachel narrowed her eyes.
Vincent pursed his lips and said, "Isn't there anyone else in your firm?"
"It's not that there's no one else. We have a duty to our clients. Since they looked for me, I'm committed to them.
Why must I be replaced? Why don't you withdraw?"
Rachel was direct. If the case was crucial to Vincent, was it not significant to her?
Vincent immediately answered, "Both of us can withdraw. Why don't I take you for a trip?"
