Chapter 1117 Do You Have a Cigarette?
Gareth glanced at Darren and said nothing. His silence implied his confirmation toward Darren's
speculation.
Darren's eyes widened in shock.
"Tell me! Who exactly is she?!"
Elisa was just a woman in her twenties, and Darren hated her to the core, so he refused to admit the
truth.
However, Gareth's silence and sarcastic gaze further affirmed the result Darren refused to believe was
true.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo way! How is this possible?!
Darren shook his head in disbelief. "This can't be true!"
He had complicated emotions, thinking he must have made a mistake. How could a woman he had
always belittled be so capable? Not only that, but she was also the powerful and reputable Mystic
Orchid!
This must be a joke!
While he was desperately trying to convince himself this was not the fact, what Gareth said next further
dampened his spirit.
"Nothing is impossible."
Darren was dumbfounded.
What exactly is going on? Why am I suddenly made known of so many things related to that woman?
How is it possible that everything is related to the woman I despised?!
"Gareth, what the hell is going on? You better come clean with me!"
"I've made myself very clear," Gareth uttered indifferently as he did not bother to continue explaining.
In fact, he couldn't give more details either because he, too, was flabbergasted by the truth and had yet
to wrap his mind around it. As much as he wanted to ask Elisa about it, he knew she would not reveal
anything to him.
Complicated thoughts arose in Gareth as the room fell into silence.
He was frustrated while Darren was still in disbelief and insisted this was an exaggerated lie!

Darren had quit smoking for a long time because it would aggravate Julia's coughing.
But now, his desire to smoke crept in.
Gareth looked at him and said, "The lingering smell of cigarettes on your clothes is unfavorable to
Grandma's condition. Don't pick it up again since you've quit."
Darren took a deep breath to control his emotions.
Once again, pin-drop silence was restored in the room. On the other hand, the others were chatting
heartily outside and were unaware of the conversation in the study room. Neither were they aware of
the silence and tense atmosphere in the room.
Julia was beaming from ear to ear as she held Elisa's hand and chattered excitedly with them. Elisa
subtly felt Julia's pulse from time to time and occasionally gave Jeremy a look.
