NovelEnglishChapter 27 Just Divorce Me Then! Bang! While Elisa was still trying to contain her awkwardness after entering the room, someone flung the door open. The few of them looked toward the entrance simultaneously when they heard the ruckus.
What came into sight was a tall, handsome man dressed in a custom-made suit, which enhanced his inherent elegance.

Elisa frowned. What brings him here? Gareth was annoyed when he saw the bouquet beside Elisa.
“I didn’t expect you to find yourself a paramour this soon.” He sneered.
Carle's eyes turned cold immediately, but before he could say anything, Elisa retorted furiously, “Mind your words, Gareth Wickam!” Gareth glared at her menacingly. “Elisa Benett, we're not officially divorced yet, but you already can’t wait to be with another guy.
Do you deem me a dead man?” Elisa thought Gareth was ridiculous while Rachel rebuked, “What's wrong with you, Gareth Wickam?! You didn’t appreciate Elisa when she gave up everything to serve you and the family as a wife. Are you regretting it now that you've signed the divorce paper? Come on, be like a man!” Rachel was an outspoken person and couldn't care less if Gareth was an influential man.
She couldn't tolerate anyone who bullied her best friend! Gareth’s gloomy aura became more intense as the tension in the atmosphere built.

Otherwise, you'll only embarrass yourself, Mr. President Wickam.” “Embarrass myself?” Gareth shot a fierce glare at Carle and grunted. “Right back at you. | can’t believe you're already a home wrecker at this young age.” Carle's face darkened. “Please mind your words. Mr. Wickam. Elisa has finally freed herself from hell. If you're a real man, stop pestering her! Otherwise, | don’t think it'll bring any good to Wickam Group’s reputation if this matter escalates.” The sarcasm in Gareth’s eyes augmented. “If Wickam Group can be threatened so easily, we would have collapsed long ago.” Elisa grasped Carle’s arm and blurted, “Carle.” Although the Semoa family was powerful too, it would be no help if he went against the Wickam family. Even if there was a chance of him winning, Elisa didn’t want Carle to sacrifice for her.
Carle turned around to see Elisa shaking her head at him. Then, she walked out from behind him.
Gareth’s expression became extremely sullen when he saw Elisa attempting to defend Carle. He grabbed Elisa’s arm and dragged her out of the room.
“That's enough! Gareth Wickam!” Rachel's indignant bawl came forth from behind. Elisa quickly turned around and shook her head at her friends. “Please give me a minute. I'll be right back after settling some private matters with him. Please leave us alone.” With that, she followed Gareth out of the room and went to a quiet corner.
Elisa tried to shove Gareth’s hand away when they stopped at the spot but to no avail. She furrowed her brows and said, “I won't leave, so let go of me and just spit whatever you want to say!” Oh gosh, why do I run into him everywhere | go?! In the past, she yearned to see him but she couldn't, but now that she didn’t want to see him anymore, they often bumped into each other. Elisa was frustrated at this complicated relationship between the two of them.
Gareth let go of Elisa’s hand and stared daggers at her. “Elisa Benett, I've warned you many times that you remain as Mrs.
Wickam before we're officially divorced! If you dare to mess around with other men again, you shall bear the consequences!” Elisa lifted her head impatiently and scowled, “Just divorce me then!”
