Chapter 1753 How Can You Compare Yourself To Will?
Gareth stepped in front of Elisa, protecting her.
Despite his less-than-ideal complexion, his stature and broad shoulders were intimidating.
Mrs. Darcey could demand anything of Will. She could even order him not to resist, but she had no
power over Gareth.
She had to feign respect for Gareth, at least.
But that didn't mean she was happy about it.
Who did Elisa think she was? Why were Will and Gareth, two of the most eligible bachelors in Bayswe,
willing to protect and fight for her?
Her resentment was written all over her face. "The both of you are blind. Why couldn't any of you have
chosen a lady from a respectable family who has never married before? I wouldn't be so angry then. All

Mrs. Darcey couldn't help but despise Elisa.
Elisa found the entire thing hilarious. Her family is nothing but respectable. If hers weren't respectable
enough for Mrs. Darcey, which family would be?
Elisa had planned to be civil and polite towards Mrs. Darcey, but Mrs. Darcey had stepped on a
landmine. Elisa crossed her arms and glared at Mrs. Darcey.
But before she could say a word, Gareth butt in, "I wasn't aware you had such an opinion about my
private life. I never knew you liked sticking your nose into other people's affairs, Mrs. Darcey."
Gareth sneered. He didn't care about embarrassing her.
Although Will could stand up to his mother for Elisa, he was still her son. He couldn't stand by and
watch his mother be disrespected.
"Gareth, my mother was talking about me." Will spoke up. "Don't take it personally. We will resolve our
issues on our own. Take your people and leave."
Will gestured to his mother.
Mrs. Darcey cared about how Gareth saw her, but she didn't feel the same way about Will. She gave
her security team a look. The men surged towards Will without warning.
Will wasn't a match for them confined to a wheelchair,
In just a few minutes, Will had been taken against his will. He hated having to go with them, but he
wasn't going to scream and struggle with Gareth and Elisa watching.
Elisa couldn't exactly stop Mrs. Darcey from taking her own son, and Gareth was even less likely to
help Will.
Elisa waved towards Gareth after Will was gone. Gareth clutched his chest when a cough racked

through his body. He staggered towards the couch.
"I don't feel so good…"
Gareth clutched his chest. His skin was devoid of any color. He looked so weak and sickly.
Elisa looked at him coldly.
Gareth couldn't keep pretending like her indifference did not affect him. "Do you think this is all an act?
Will and I were trying to protect, but why do you treat us so differently?" Gareth finally asked.
Oh, so we're making comparisons now.
Elisa chuckled. She shook her head as if she had just been told the most hilarious joke. "How can you
compare yourself to Will?"
"Why not?" Gareth frowned. His expression turned dark and stormy.
Elisa fell silent. She thought of arguing with him, but on second thought, it wasn't worth the energy.
What would be the point of explaining everything to Gareth?
"I'll call Jeremy for you."
