NovelEnglishChapter 29 Don’t Fall Into His Trap! At that moment, Julia was contemplating who could be a right fit for Elisa. She took her phone and was about to investigate the backgrounds of several decent young men.
Suddenly, a news notification appeared.
‘Mrs. Wickam, Whose Husband Is Darcey’s Group Competitor, Spotted in the Passenger Seat With Darcey Group's President’ Julia couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the title.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWill Darcey was the infamous playboy in the city. Even someone like Julia, who rarely read the news, was aware that he was a pleasure seeker. A flirty punk like him is totally out of Elisa’s league. This must be a clickbait! At that thought, Julia clicked into the news.
To her surprise, she saw a picture of Elisa getting out of Will's car, and their faces were captured clearly! This is outrageous! Julia immediately gave Elisa a call, but...
“The number you have dialed is not reachable. Please try again later...” Julia hung up the phone with a worried look.
On the other hand, Elisa was on a call with Rachel.
She frowned in confusion when she heard Rachel's agitated exclamation. “It's getting late. What are you wailing about at this hour? Didn't you sing your heart out already at the clubhouse just now?” “Oh my gosh! Don't tell me you found a new lover this soon! You're moving on at the speed of light! Oh, poor Carle’s going to have a heartbreak again!” Elisa furrowed her brows. “What nonsense are you talking about?” “Come on, Miss Benett, stop acting dumb! The news about Mrs. Wickam spotted in Will Darcey’s car is all over Twitter now.
Honey, you are one of the trending topics!” Elisa was startled.
How did the incident that day become a trending topic? Could Will be the mastermind behind this? While she was still dumbfounded, Julia called.
It was obvious why she called, so Elisa said softly to Rachel, “Gareth’s grandmother is calling. I'll call you back later.” Rachel knew Julia had always been kind toward Elisa. She squeaked reluctantly, “Alright then. Fill me in on your stories later!” “I have no stories to tell. Now go to bed already.” Then, she hung up the call with Rachel and answered Julia's call.

“Rachel, | know you're upset now and might want to seek delight from other men, but Will is not a good candidate.” “Grandma...” Before Elisa could finish her sentence, Julia interrupted anxiously, “I'm not stopping you because the Darcey family is our opponent. As long as you're happy, I'm willing to give you my blessings. But Will is someone who plays the field!” Elisa was touched because Julia still cared for her despite the current situation.
“He must be wooing you because he is attracted to your pretty face and perfect body figure. You can't fall into his trap! | promise to help you seek a decent man, but please don't dig your own grave, Elisa!” Elisa was amused yet resigned. But above all that, she was moved.
“Don’t worry, Grandma. Things between Will and | are not like what you thought. | met up with him because we had some matters to discuss.” “Really?” Julia remained doubtful, but just as she was about to say something, Elisa continued, “Of course! Grandma, I'm not thinking about romanticrelationships anymore at this moment.” There was a tinge of sorrow in her tone. Although Elisa did not say it out, Julia knew her grandson had hurt Elisa deeply.
After pausing for a moment, Elisa said, “So, please stop worrying about me, Grandma.”
