Elisa headed straight to the bathroom after arriving home. She felt much better after a shower.
Although she had also lived alone in the past, it was not as relaxing as she felt now. Previously, she
was always thinking about Gareth, but now, she was free to develop her own career. At the same time,
she could not help but feel a little depressed as she thought of the past. Why did I waste so much
energy on that trash?
As the night deepened, Elisa slept soundly despite being a light sleeper.
On the other hand, Gareth tossed and turned in his bed.
He had headed straight to the company after leaving Wickam Manor and worked for a while before
deciding to rest. Unfortunately, he could not. As soon as he lay down, memories of Elisa’s mocking
smile appeared in his mind.
Gareth opened his eyes abruptly. His expression was cold and stern.
Then, he got up and ordered his assistant to gather people for an all-night video conference to arrange
work.
He did not sleep the whole night and looked terrible.
Everyone saw how terrifying Gareth appeared on the screen and kept quiet. No one dared to even

They all wondered who had dared to annoy him.
…
The following morning, Elisa was reading documents at home when she received a call from Charli.
“Iris, Will Darcey wishes to see you. Is… Is that okay?”
Elisa considered and felt she could not avoid him forever. Thus, she agreed to the meeting.
Charli came to pick her up half an hour later and could not help but feel a little worried. “Anyway, are
you really ready to see him?”
Elisa sat beside her and appeared calm. “I have gotten ready a long time ago.”
“Are… Are you sure you can convince Will to trust you? Have they not questioned your identity when
you met with his company’s legal department? Does he still not know who you are?”
Elisa patted Charli’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. He will know soon.”
Charli did not know what to say.
She had no choice but to pray that things would not go horribly wrong.
Soon, Elisa arrived at the restaurant and saw a handsome man sitting at a table, playing mobile
games.
He wore a tailored high-end suit and exuded a deep sense of nobility. His eyes seemed gentle, and
many did not know the ruthlessness hidden beneath those eyes.
Noises of the mobile game sounded from his phone from time to time, clashing with his professional
appearance.
Will looked up when he heard footsteps.
He saw a tall and slender woman with her long and straight brown hair tied in a bun and fringes curled
slightly at the side of her head. She wore a light blue corseted dress, showing her alluring figure.
She was slim with the appropriate amount of softness on the right part of her body.
Furthermore, she had beautiful facial features, especially her almond-shaped eyes. They gleamed like
crystals and exuded a sense of professional capability. One could not help but be mesmerized by them.
However, Will was astonished to see that she was Elisa. He logged out of his game and smiled, “Mrs.
Wickam, have you gone to the wrong room?”
Will respected Iris and arrived here early. He did not expect to bump into his enemy’s wife.
Meanwhile, Elisa walked in and smiled as she took a seat opposite Will. “I haven’t gone to the wrong

Will saw Charli standing behind Elisa and instantly realized something.
“You’re Iris?”
His eyes flashed with astonishment. Elisa was undeniably gorgeous. One could never forget her beauty
after a glance at her.
They made everyone seem lackluster in her presence.
Unfortunately, this lovely lady was Gareth’s wife.
Will looked at Charli and gave a cryptic smile. “Ms. Lucas, why don’t you explain this?”
Charli cleared her throat and said awkwardly, “Mr. Darcey, I was unclear about Iris’ situation previously,
so I wasn’t able to explain it to you. However, since we have agreed to take your case, we can now
reveal some matters to you now.”
Will narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment before saying expressionlessly, “So, are you telling
me the top lawyer that I am doing everything to appoint is my opponent’s wife?”
