Amused, Elisa burst out in laughter, in contrast to her original disgusted look.
Amused, Elisa burst out in laughter, in contrast to her original disgusted look.
Gareth was stunned for a moment when he saw Elisa’s smile. It was as if her smile could melt his cold aura.
He stared at her and remained silent while waiting for her response.
The next second, Elisa replied with a faint smile, “Gareth, I know you have other motives – you want to collaborate
with me. You’re not like someone who would make a U-turn.”
“I’m not a car.” Gareth spat word by word with his eyes fixed on Elisa.
Elisa chuckled. “Humans can make a U-turn too.” For example, you go back on your words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGareth’s expression turned serious while Elisa continued casually, “I have no idea what your motive is. Benett
Corporation will continue partnering with you. I’m sure you’ve heard that they plan to extend the collaboration for
one year, and you’ve given them a chance. Furthermore, you’ll be partnering in my project too. I can’t think of any
other motives that can only be achieved by reconciling with me.”
Just then, Elisa paused for a moment as she thought of something. Then, her smile stiffened. Looking into Gareth’s
cold eyes, she wore a sarcastic smile. “Or, would you rather sacrifice your marriage in order to defeat Will?”
Gareth blurted frostily, “I can promise you three things. Firstly, I’ll never divorce you. Secondly, I agree to have
children if that’s your wish. Thirdly, Benett Corporation will never topple, and you’ll be the company’s leader.”
Elisa’s heart jolted as her body froze. She could feel her heart squeezing.
If she had been given these promises in the past, she would be in seventh heaven despite knowing that Gareth’s
heart belonged to someone else, not her.
Although Gareth was a cold and heartless man, he was a man of his word. So, he would definitely keep his promise
once he offered it. As long as Elisa did not betray him, he would stand by his promise.
If the entanglement between them never existed, Elisa might be moved. But now…
Elisa smirked. “I’ll avenge Benett Corporation on my own. As for you… I’m sorry to say that I don’t wish to be
associated with you at all. Gareth, I don’t hate you anymore now, but I’ll never forget the harm you’ve done to me.
Even if we were once in a covenantal marriage, I don’t want to face you. You may deem me a narrow-minded
person. By the way, Nicole is a decent potential partner too.”
With that, she placed her hand on the door handle. However, she recalled that Gareth had locked the car, so she
leaned against the car seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGazing at Gareth’s menacing side profile, Elisa was about to ask him to unlock the door when the latter started the
car all of a sudden, engaged the gear, and sped away.
He was so furious at Elisa’s callous attitude toward him.
Elisa frowned and asked, “Where are we going?”
Gareth ignored her and continued driving at top speed, but Elisa did not feel much impact as he was a skillful driver.
He turned a deaf ear to Elisa along the way and did not intend to let her get out of the car.
Half an hour later, he finally stopped the car upon arriving at his destination.
When Elisa saw what came into sight, her cold and elegant face seemed to have cracked.
