Chapter 331 Eh? Why Are You Here, Ms. Benett?
Gareth’s face darkened. Elisa somehow couldn’t break free from his grasp. With a slightly nasty
expression, she said, “Let me go!”
“Are you hard of hearing, Elisa? Didn’t you hear what I said to you before?” Gareth’s face was
unbelievably black.
But Elisa smiled. “Then listen to this recording.”
She played the recording of Linda instructing her not to go.
Gareth furrowed his brows at once. He didn’t want to talk about Linda.
Elisa smiled. “Look, after we divorced, you have no relationship with me anymore. Linda is my cousin.
Since she keeps saying that she is doing things for my own good, I have to help her accomplish that,
don’t you think so?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGareth looked at her with a cloudy expression. “Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? What
Grandma needs most is for you to go and see her, but what are you doing?”
Elisa looked at him coldly. “Who was the one who was eaten by dogs?”
Seeing Gareth’s face darken, Elisa continued on sarcastically, “It’s you! Grandma is like this all thanks to
you!”
Feeling Gareth’s gaze that was as sharp as a blade, she continued, unconcerned. “For the past few
years, Grandma has always felt bad. What she hopes for the most is for you to love me, but you couldn’t
do it. You wanted a divorce from me, and you wanted to marry Linda. Grandma’s health has been
deteriorating all thanks to you. It’s fine if you don’t love me, Gareth, but as a man, you have to own up to
your mistakes and accept the consequences. Don’t push all the responsibility onto me as a woman.”
Seeing that Gareth’s face was getting cloudier, Elisa continued in a cold voice, “Even if I didn’t ask for a
divorce in front of everybody, do you think Grandma wouldn’t feel unwell? She would have been unwell
all her life for as long as you didn’t love me. It’s better to get the pain over with rather than prolong the
agony. I did this so that Grandma would accept it earlier. Otherwise, she would have to rack her brains
every night for you.”
Once she said all that, she felt the air around her became colder.
Gareth wasn’t angry. In fact, he smiled and said, “If it weren’t for your schemes back then, do you think I
would have married you? Do you think Grandma would have liked you?”
He pushed Elisa away after he said it.
Elisa staggered a little and couldn’t refute him.
Should I retort that I didn’t plot against him? He won’t believe a single word, and I don’t have proof.
Then again, am I really the root of the problem?
I liked him from the beginning. If I didn’t like him at all, would it have played out differently?
Elisa took a breath in and controlled her emotions. With an indifferent expression, she said, “I won’t go
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback with you tonight. I just called Grandma. She said that she wanted to rest and that she doesn’t want
me to go there.”
“You won’t go just because she doesn’t want you to? Why am I just finding out that you’re so obedient,
Elisa?”
Elisa suddenly laughed scornfully. “In the three years that I was married to you, when did I ever disobey
you?”
Gareth was immediately at a loss for words. He couldn’t refute what she said.
It seemed to be the case. She was like a puppet that was being controlled. She would do what he told
her to, and she would never know how to fight back.
It was because of this that he would feel particularly impatient whenever he saw her.
He had felt like she was a ball of wool. She couldn’t be flattened, worn-out, or destroyed.
Linda had just walked over and heard what Elisa said. Her brows furrowed immediately.
But she was just around the corner. They couldn’t see her.
Just as Gareth was about to say something, there came Vincent’s voice. “Eh? Why are you here, Ms.
Benett?”
