Chapter 1643 As He Expected
"Hmm."
Mrs. Garner nodded and said nothing more.
Then, Linda finished the final touches to her makeup and held Mrs. Garner's hand, allowing Mrs.
Garner to lead her out of the room.
Meanwhile, Elisa put on the high-end white designer gown Gareth chose for her and was satisfied.
Then, she put on shoes and jewelry and finished her makeup before heading to Garner Residence with
Gareth.
The banquet was set to begin at seven. Many of the guests were already there when they arrived.
The guests mingled amongst themselves. It was a lively scene.
A few of them recognized Gareth and came over to greet him.
"Good evening, Mr. Wickam."

They called Elisa 'Mrs. Wickam' even though they knew she and Gareth divorced.
Elisa was torn between annoyance and wanting to laugh as they addressed her that way.
These people must have seen the photos on the media and the video on the Web. Like most internet users, these
guests assumed she and Gareth reconciled and got back together.
However, she could not correct their misunderstanding when so many guests were around. She could not tell them
that she and Gareth did not get married.
After all, Gareth was a prominent businessman. He had also taken two bullets for her. Therefore, no matter how
much she hated him, she could not publicly embarrass him.
Thus, she had no choice but to smile.
Unfortunately, more people came to greet Gareth.
Elisa suspected Gareth deliberately arranged this. He brought her somewhere with many people, making her
escape difficult.
All she could do was secretly grip Gareth's hand as tightly as she could.
Of course, Gareth knew what she meant with that grip.
As there were many people around them, he smiled gently and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"
Elisa was rendered speechless.
At this moment, she finally understood why Rachel sometimes cursed. One simply could not help it when dealing
with annoying people and situations.
Even so, she could only smile and reply, "I'm not feeling well. Can you bring me to the seats to rest for a while?"
"Sure," Gareth answered readily.
They soon reached the seats.
Seeing no one around, Elisa pulled her hand from him and dropped her act. "Gareth, did you plan this?"
Did he deliberately pretend we were a happy and affectionate married couple before these prominent business
people? Is he trying to make everyone think we reconciled?
However, Gareth had a helpless expression as he replied, "They only came to say hi. You know we can't embarrass

D*mn!
Scoundrel! He still won't stop acting!
Elisa sneered, "Gareth, you're not fooling me. You might as well admit to what you did."
"Is this why you changed your mind and chose to attend this banquet?" Elisa narrowed her eyes and
looked at Gareth coldly.
Since Elisa was persistent, Gareth could no longer deny it.
The Garner family invited many guests to their banquet. If he showed up with Elisa, the crowd would
focus on them.
Furthermore, a few bootlickers would eagerly come to greet him.
These played out as he expected when they entered the banquet.
Moreover, he knew Elisa would have no choice but to play along. After this, rumors of them getting
back together would become concrete.
Then, he would get Thomas to arrange for news of Elisa and his remarriage to cover the news of Elisa
and Will being seen together. Everyone would think that…
