NovelEnglishChapter 229
Elisa found it hard to contain her rage. He actually still thinks I’m after money!
After the divorce, she used the chance to negotiate terms with him. She refused ownership of the villa,
but this didn’t change Gareth’s view of Elisa. Is he for real?!
Ah!
“Let me remind you who won the lawsuit for Will Darcey. Not only is it sitting around in my bank
account collecting dust, but I gained an additional 7.5 million from that trial alone,” spat Elisa. “so let me
ask you this, do you think you can woe me with money?”
On the contrary, Mr. Darcey was adamant that Elisa take the additional payment as agreed. However,
Elisa refused. She’s still looking into loopholes to send the money back to its owner.
Gareth clutched his fist to retain his anger. Every statement from Elisa further irritated him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe audacity!
Meanwhile, the elevator opened its doors to Elisa’s floor.
Gareth realized this and pulled Elisa by her arm. She frowned out of spite.
He spoke coldly, “Would you rather I dragged you back to my house?”
Elisa glared at him coldly. She remembered how one time Gareth loudly banged on her door for entry.
The banging was so loud that it made the neighbors resent her ever since.
Guess I have to open the door at some point.
The moment they were in her room, Elisa confronted Gareth. “Well, suppose you can explain why
you’re here?!”
Gareth glared at her harshly. “You know, you’ve moved pretty quickly, considering you denied any form
of cheating. Who was it? Mr. Darcey, and that man,” he frowned. “Carle Semoa was it? You’re awfully
close for someone who had recently divorced.”
Elisa felt her blood boil from the accusation.
Gareth is the same. Always tactless and rude towards me!
She restrained herself from lashing out. What was the use? Does Gareth even mean anything to me at
this point?
Besides, I don’t belong to this fool. What does my life have to do with him?
Elisa scowled. “You know Gareth, I’ve noticed you’re especially peeved off today. Why’s that? You
suddenly realized you needed me after all?”
Gareth sneered at her statement. “Elisa, get a grip. What is there to need when I never liked you in the
first place?”
Well, that hurt.
Yup, this is Gareth, all right. Just needed to give a few jabs to get him back to his usual self.
Elisa nodded. “Hey, you’re right. Since you don’t feel anything for me, why don’t you move on? If you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmkeep hounding me, it’s just going to confuse everyone. Including me,” she scowled. “besides, it’s
getting annoying. No?”
She looked at Gareth with disgust, which made him laugh cynically. Before he could berate her, Elisa
cut him off:
“By the way, think what you want of me,” she growled. “but the last thing you should consider me is
impressionable. I’m fully aware of your stature, but if you wish to resolve things with me, then do it with
a clear mind. Don’t go barging into my house like some animal and threaten me with your anger.”
Gareth: !!!
Gareth made a terrifying expression. “Why do you lie?! Over and over again!”
His appearance startled Elisa, but she merely chuckled. Why the sudden change of topic? You haven’t
even answered my question.
“What exactly did I lie about? You didn’t even ask me a question,” she scoffed.
Elisa finished her sentence and grinned grimly. “I confirmed that it was the second day following the
incident. Grandma made us go to the old house for dinner, but you despised me the day before. Have
you ever comforted me since then?”
