It took a long while for her to regain her senses. By the time she did, Gareth was already far away from
her.
“Garry…” She cried as she hurried to him, but the cold air he emitted caused her to tremble and stop in
her steps. She pushed past those thoughts and ran past him.
She stopped before him and said, “Why can’t you believe me? Garry, I did not do anything!”
“This is your last chance. Get out of my way.”
Gareth stopped and looked at the person in front of him. It sent chills down Linda’s spine and icicles
straight to her heart when he spoke.
Linda sucked in a breath; tears continued to splatter to the ground.
Gareth would have pitied me before. I could even make him pity me with my acting. But now, he’s
unmoving in his thoughts.

away from her. She wanted to turn around to look at him, but her body wasn’t cooperating with her
wishes. Her body suddenly felt weak, and her vision turned foggy. She couldn’t focus on the man’s
silhouette, and her eyelids felt heavy…
‘Crash!’
Gareth heard the sound and frowned. He stopped and looked back to see Linda fainted on the ground.
The annoyance in his eyes deepened. He stared at her unmoving body before giving his mother a call.
“Get someone from Linda’s family here; she’s fainted.”
“What happened?” Monica was shocked, but Gareth didn’t see the need to explain. He also didn’t care
about Linda, so he hung up and walked away. From his experience, Linda could be faking it again. He
only called his mother to help out of morality, in case she had fainted. He felt no more guilt toward
Linda.
…
The engagement had been dissolved, but the Wickam family was in no hurry to announce it. The main
reason was that the collaboration was still in progress.
Everyone was on break this day.
Gareth drove away in an irritated state. Without knowing it, he arrived at Elisa’s neighborhood. He
raised his eyes and looked at the windows of the houses in front of him. At last, his eyes stopped at
Elisa’s house. He squinted and could see a shadow in the window, but he wasn’t sure if it was Elisa or
Rachel. He gripped the steering wheel and paused for a moment. In the end, he picked up his phone
and dialed a number.
But… he was greeted by an automated woman’s voice.
“The number you have dialed is unavailable at the moment, please…”
Gareth frowned and hung up.

He kept calling. His face grew darker, and the emotion reflected in his eyes would scare off anyone
around him.
Elisa had blocked his phone number!
Well then! I tried so hard to sever my ties with Linda, yet what about her?!
‘Bang!’
Gareth slammed his hand on the steering wheel and accelerated out of there.
…
Upstairs, Rachel had been standing at the window for a while. When she saw that eye-catching Rolls
Royce leave, she couldn’t help but blurt out, “The car’s left. It was there for a while, but it just left. I
wonder who the big shot is…”
