NovelEnglishChapter 142 Blood Boiled
The clueless outsiders had been criticizing Elisa, thinking she was an outrageous woman, but only the
insiders knew what was going on.
“So what if she’s pretty? Appearance is not everything. Moreover, you guys should know what kind of
woman Elisa Benett is. There’s a saying that goes, ‘Don’t judge the book by its cover.’ We’ve only met
her several times.”
Most of them were insincere and superficial when engaging in social interaction, so they were unaware
of Elisa’s true character.
“What a pity. I’m not a guy. Otherwise, I’ll surely woo her. She’s just too gorgeous!”
“Tsk! A woman like her with such character and appearance looks much like Helen of Troy. God knows
how much trouble she has brought to those around her. Good looks doesn’t necessarily guarantee a
good ending!”

great show!”
The confused crowd looked toward the entrance. When they saw the three guests who were walking
into the hall, their eyes lit up.
The comers were none other than Norman, Rose, and Linda.
The gown Linda wore this time was not as imposing as the one she wore to Mr. Morris’ birthday
banquet. Obviously, she was more mindful of the event today. Nonetheless, her pink gown was
relatively eye-catching among the crowd.
Linda’s skin was originally fair, but the pink gown further enhanced her fair skin tone. Her beauty
caused many men to have their eyes fixed on her.
Some of the guests started making comparisons between Linda and Elisa. “Look at Linda. She’s so
beautiful! I’m so envious of her! Not only is she the daughter of the Benett family, but she’s also the
future wife of Wickam Group’s president. Both of these identities are splendid!”
“It’s true that she’s beautiful, but she has dolled herself up meticulously and picked an eye-catching
gown. In contrast, Elisa only wore a gown with a simple design and did not wear any makeup, yet she
still looks more outstanding in comparison!”
“Elisa is obviously the more beautiful one. I guess it’s just because Mr. Wickam thinks that the grass is
greener on the other side.”
“Aren’t Linda and Elisa cousins? Did you guys see the trending topic yesterday? They seem to be quite
close!”
The crowd discussed among themselves.
Meanwhile, Linda noticed she did not catch the gentlemen’s attention, but their gazes were focused in
another direction.
The smile on her face stiffened at once when she followed their gazes to see Elisa, who was dressed in
a blue gown. The sight of Elisa made her blood boil as it reminded her of the words Elisa said to the
reporters during the interview.

wrecker!
Linda took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. Many guests were invited to the banquet
today, and their eyes were fixed on Elisa and her, so she couldn’t make the slightest mistake.
Thereafter, she smiled at her parents and said, “Dad, Mom, look, Elisa is over there.”
Rose was dumbstruck when she saw Elisa.
If it wasn’t that there were many guests at the hall, she would have shot a ferocious glare at Elisa.
Norman too was surprised. “Oh, Elisa came too.”
Then, he said to Rose and Linda, “Go ahead and have a chat with Elisa. I’ll go and greet some
business partners.”
Although Rose and Linda were frustrated, they nodded and walked toward Elisa.
