Chapter 1639 Contempt and Ridicule
Gareth pulled Elisa away from Nicole as he spoke.
Elisa did not protest since Nicole and Aaron were watching them.
On the other hand, Nicole was shocked upon hearing Gareth's words.
She looked at him in disbelief.
Then, she realized her only option was to bring up her father, Bernard.
"Mr. Wickam, you turned me away last time. Now that we're back in Bayswe, can't you at least show
some respect for my father? He is recuperating in the hospital. Must you insist on angering my father
to death?"
She looked at Gareth indignantly. She loved him so much, but she had no chance with him.
However, her words did not affect Gareth at all.
Gareth replied mockingly, "Why should I care about you and your family? Didn't you bring everything

His words rendered Nicole without retort.
Aaron narrowed his eyes and gradually stepped forward to shield Nicole behind him. He said gruffly, "Mr. Wickam,
it's unbecoming of a man to get involved in matters between women."
Gareth snorted coldly. "You think you stand a chance in matters between men?"
Aaron's expression darkened. He knew Gareth was referring to how easily he captured Aaron when they were in
Moranta.
Gareth knew the best way to bring down an enemy was to destroy his confidence.
Thus, before Aaron could reply, Gareth spoke to the shop assistants with authority, "My assistant will be here soon
to negotiate the purchase of this place. I'll leave you to deal with these unwelcomed guests."
They were inside the most famous beauty salon and high-end boutique in Bayswe. The customers were all wealthy
and upper-class.
Furthermore, Gareth was a prominent figure in Bayswe. All the staff in this place knew him and were aware of how
wealthy he was.
Therefore, how would they dare to disobey him?
Therefore, the shop assistant had no choice but to go to Nicole and say, "Miss, you heard what Mr. Wickam said. I'm
sorry, but we have to follow orders. We cannot serve you here, so please bring your business elsewhere."
The shop assistant was tactful and spoke courteously but was also direct.
Nicole was furious.
However, she knew from her situation and upper-class upbringing that she could not cause a scene in this place.
Still, she glared at Elisa warningly before she left.
I will not forget the indignity I suffered here!
Aaron caught up with Nicole. "Are you going to leave just like that? What makes you think I can't buy the whole
place like Gareth did?"
He spoke firmly and stood before Nicole to block her way.
Nicole looked at his serious expression and laughed. "I brought you to Bayswe because you said you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould help me. While your background is impressive, we are in Bayswe and not Moranta. Don't you
ever forget this!"
How can an outsider like him even think of going against Gareth in his territory? Where is his
common sense?
Furthermore, Aaron isn't even that powerful in Moranta. Otherwise, Gareth wouldn't have been able
to lock him up with me.
However, Aaron was not intimidated. He nodded and replied, "I know, but they will look down on us if
we leave without a fight."
Nicole sneered. "When have they ever not looked down on us?"
Gareth looked at us as if we were dust beneath his feet.
Furthermore, how can I forget the cold disdain in Elisa's eyes?
Those two never took us seriously.
Aaron disagreed with Nicole. "That's more reason for us to fight back. Since Gareth and Elisa look
down on us, we should make them regret it. I…"
