Chapter 3
Linda's eyes gleamed delightedly as she saw Gareth threatening Elisa. Then, she looked at Gareth sadly and said, "Garry, don't be angry. It's probably a misunderstanding. I don't want both of you to fight over me."
Elisa looked at Linda with derision. She never knew her cousin was such a good actress. Her innocent act disgusted Elisa.-
Before Gareth could speak, Elisa said, "My cousin has been yearning to be Mrs. Wickam for a long time. Why don't you marry her quickly so that she stops sending me disgusting messages?"
Linda's expression changed upon hearing the word 'message'. She said quickly, "Elisa, I've explained to you many times. I don't wish to ruin your marriage. Gareth is only feeling guilty that I fell into a coma from saving him, so he wishes to make it up to me. There is nothing between us."
Gareth looked at Elisa with disdain. "There's no use explaining to her. Let's go."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
However, Elisa stopped Gareth before he could leave with Linda. "Why don't we obtain our divorce order now? That way we each can marry whoever else we want and have nothing to do with each other."
Linda clenched her hands for a moment.
Gareth told me they have divorced. After all this, why has he still not gotten the divorce order?
Suddenly, Linda's expression turned solemn. "Elisa, there is nothing between me and Gareth. If it makes you unhappy, I won't meet with him anymore."
Then, she turned to Gareth and was on the verge of tears. "Garry, I'm sorry for causing a misunderstanding between you and Elisa, so I will leave now. You should coax her. Ladies like to be coaxed."
Linda left right after saying that.
Gareth glared at Elisa and said coldly, "I'm not free. My assistant will contact you, so get ready."
Then, he ran after Linda.
Charli stood stunned and felt indignant for Elisa. "Elisa, thank goodness you divorced him! This trash is unworthy of you."
How can Iris bear such indignity?
I couldn't get involved because it is her family matters. How I wish I can bash up that Linda!
She is a devious b*tch!
"Charli, did you say Gareth will have to compensate tens of billions if he loses this law suit?"
Charli was still daydreaming about bashing up Linda and replied in confusion, "Yes, why?"
Elisa glanced at the window calmly. "Charli, I need you to contact Will Darcey and get ready to start work."
Charli covered her mouth in shock. "Are... Are you going to take revenge because of your hatred for Gareth?"
Elisa's smile did not reach her eyes. "It is only business. I happen to like this case."
I have always loved challenging cases.
Furthermore, we have divorced. I don't need to show mercy.
However, Charli remained stunned and asked in confusion, "But... Why are you helping Will? Aren't you Mrs. Wickam? You loved him so much in the past and would do anything for him..."
Elisa interrupted her and said bitterly, "You said it yourself. That is all in the past. Furthermore, I will be divorced soon."
"Are you really going to divorce?"
"Yes," Elisa answered firmly. "Since I have accepted this case, I won't play around."
Charli was not fully convinced but
nodded her head. She suddenly remembered something and said, "Previously, you attended court hearings remotely. However, Will insists on meeting you in person for this case... Once he finds out you are Mrs. Wickam, he might not trust you..."
"Don't worry. I can deal with it."
Charli nodded when she saw how confident Elisa was. "Sure, I will help you deal with other matters. Also, his head of legal affairs is Corey. He is your senior from school, so I think communications will be easy."
Charli realized Elisa seemed different from the past and sincerely felt happy for her. Thus, she held her arm and said, "Elisa, let's go to my house. I will cook dinner to celebrate your freedom from that b*stard!"
Gareth hid in a nearby car and watched Elisa and Charli chatting happily as they left the café. His expression turned cold and intimidating. Elisa Bt, what are you up to?
After finishing dinner at Charli's home, Elisa stayed for a while to chat and discuss the case before heading home.
When she reached the villa, a servant came to her and said, "Miss, we checked the surveillance cameras and noticed someone has followed you here."
