Chapter 1397
Chapter 1397 Was She Finished
Gareth had given him an assignment…
"Bring me a deck of cards. And those reports." Gareth coldly ordered, with no room for refusal.
Gareth was fine, but Thomas was close to tears.
What did he mean by 'those reports'?!
They weren't just any reports! He was talking about Wickam Group's half-yearly report!
From Gareth's expression, Thomas knew he needed to give him the reports by the end of the workday
back home. He could forget about sleeping that night. He was dead!
Thomas had no choice but to ask Elisa for help. He left with his shoulders hunched.
Elisa couldn't help laughing at Thomas' hunched shoulders.
Gareth was bullying the poor child!

But she had not forgotten the reason she came. As Nicole picked up her glass, Elisa darted forwards
and dipped a silver needle into the juice.
Elisa was taken aback.
Elisa smiled and explained, "We've been doing this ever since Gareth was poisoned at KKCD Casino.
We have to be extra careful whenever we're out."
"Oh right, Ms. Tabor! You were in the room next to ours. Did you see anyone suspicious coming into
our room? Maybe someone who looked exactly like me but did not act like me?" Elisa prompted Nicole
with a smile.
She retrieved the needle and handed her the glass of juice.
Nicole's chest tightened.
Even though she was ready for it, Nicole couldn't help but panic when Elisa brought it up.

She dug her nails into her palm, hoping the pain would calm her. "I went with a friend. I had planned to
say hi, but you all looked so busy. And besides, I couldn't very well leave my friend behind to talk to
you. I left as soon as the auction ended. I can't say I saw anyone who looked like you leave the room
after."
Nicole smiled, content with her explanation. But she did not know Elisa had already found gaps in her
excuse.
Elisa asked if she saw anyone who looked like her enter their room, but Nicole said she did not see
anyone who looked like her leave after.
Elisa did not say anything about when that person came. How did Nicole know the person came after?
It was highly likely that Nicole was the one who entered their room wearing a silicone mask that looked
like Elisa.

"Don't worry. I just thought I'd ask, just in case. I'm on the hunt for her. People like this have no pride at
all!" Elisa snarled as she watched Nicole's expression for any change. "But then again, what pride
would she have to use someone else's face to do something like that?"
"I think I remember seeing a red birthmark on her chest." Elisa rested her chin on her hand as if trying
to recall the events of that night.
Nicole's chest tightened.
She couldn't sit still any longer.
That night, Nicole escaped without getting caught and knew there was no red birthmark on her chest.
But it didn't look like Elisa suspected her.
Or maybe she meant the birthmark on her back?
Nicole subconsciously touched her chest. The dress she had on was low-cut and strapless. If she
meant the birthmark on her back, what would happen if Elisa saw it while they played Truth or Dare?
Wouldn't she be finished then?
