Jeremy snorted, “Come on, be more sensible!”
If the task was indeed dangerous, Gareth would go on his own instead of asking Vincent.
Only then did Vincent regain his composure, and he yelled, “What the heck?! I should unfriend you
guys! All you do is fool me like a monkey!”
Gareth smirked and took his wine glass to take a sip while Vincent flew off the handle and scowled at
Gareth, “It serves you right – just stay single forever! You never care about others, yet you’re wishing
for Elisa to fall for you again? In your dreams!”
After saying that, Vincent stood up and pretended to go to the washroom as he was afraid of being
rebuked by Gareth.
Jeremy grinned amusedly while Gareth cast a cold glance at Vincent and had no intention of bothering
him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Vincent went to the washroom, Jeremy turned to face Gareth. “When do you plan to tackle them?”
“Nothing much has happened yet, hasn’t it?” Gareth replied calmly as if he was unrelated to the matter.
Jeremy lifted his brows and gave no response.
Within these two days, the incident had fermented on the Internet. After the Wickams’ denial, the
Benetts released more ‘evidence’ of Darren’s intention for Gareth and Nicole to get married.
However, the Wickam family promptly made clarifications and was able to prove that all evidence was
fabricated by Rose.
As such, the Benetts’ several attempts to confront the Wickams resulted in the police’s more
concentrated investigation of Linda. Nonetheless, the Benetts were not pushovers and had
successfully deceived the public that Linda was indeed afflicted with mental illnesses such as
depression and delusional disorder due to prolonged anxiety.
Due to this incident, the Benett family was at the edge of a downfall.
Will had asked Elisa privately if she needed help but was rejected by the latter.
On the other hand, the Tabor family naturally wouldn’t lend the Benetts a hand, while other business
owners who were associated with the Benett daily trimmed their sails. As such, no one was willing to
collaborate with the Benett family.
The executives of Benett Corporation were driven up the wall. They were not annoyed at Wickam
Group but Norman and his family!
In a meeting at Benett Corporation, everyone wore a sullen look. Even those who supported Norman
were infuriated as their resentment toward Norman had reached its limit.
Calvin, too, couldn’t take it anymore and questioned Norman in exasperation, “Mr. Chairman, regarding
the incidents that happened these few days, why did you allow your wife to confront Wickam Group
directly without discussing it with us beforehand? Given the current situation, does Mrs. Bennett intend
to continue kicking up a fuss about it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrowning, Norman answered solemnly, “After that incident, I’ve prohibited her from posting on Twitter.”
Indeed, after the Wickams published their clarification, Rose was left with nothing to retort to them. So,
she focused on disguising Linda as a person with a mental health condition as she was afraid that
Linda would be sent to prison.
Those who sided with James showed no mercy. The sharp-tongued Jessie stared at Norman and
probed him coldly, “Back then, you didn’t obtain our consent before retorting the Wickams, which
caused the company’s stocks to plummet and jeopardized the company’s profit. How are you going to
save the situation? Are you able to compensate the losses, Mr. Chairman?”
Norman’s expression turned ghastly.
“At this point, we should think of ways to solve the situation instead of keep criticizing me. Let’s first
focus on overcoming this plight before discussing what happened.”
Jessie laughed out of her madness. “Plight? Now, besides apologizing to Wickam Group and
reconciling with them, what other solutions do we have? You willfully went your own way and
threatened to cease the collaboration with them. Look at how they handle the situation now!”
