Chapter 1282 Is It So Difficult?
Vincent became antisocial, not wanting to speak to either of them.
However, it was naive of him to think that things would end peacefully since he started it all.
Gareth fixed his gaze on his good friend before continuing calmly, "I haven't told her about the auction."
Vincent was confused by his sudden statement, but Jeremy chuckled.
"What are you laughing about?" He frowned at Jeremy.
Vincent's nerves were still on edge. He was sure Gareth was trying to rub salt in the wound, but he
couldn't figure out the meaning behind the sentence.
Jeremy looked at him with a wide grin. "Why don't you think about it?"
If I said it out loud, Vincent might be even more hurt.
"Just shoot. Would I have asked if I knew what he was referring to?" he said impatiently.

Finally, Jeremy couldn't stop his laughter anymore and explained, "He's implying that if Elisa knows
about the auction, they would have more opportunities to talk to each other. But what about you?"
"What the hell?" The impatience was quickly replaced with a sulky demeanor. "This is so unfair! Where
did your conscience go?"
Vincent roared out loud in dissatisfaction.
However, he was completely ignored by Gareth, who seemed to be oblivious to the emotional damage
he inevitably caused.
"How is this fair? Tell me! You jerk! You're using this to emotionally manipulate her, forcing her to
interact with you! This doesn't prove that your situation is better than mine. I don't buy it!"
Gareth, who had been a man of few words, suddenly looked at him with interest.
"You can try the same thing, but do you think you'll succeed?"
"You–" Vincent's face turned grim.
You jerk! *sshole!
He was at a loss of what to say, as he had already said everything on his mind, but Gareth simply
refuted his logic.
D*mn it! Vincent shut his eyes and took a deep breath to keep his emotions in check. I can't be
triggered by him so easily.
Yet, after his anger subsided, jealousy took over. I have to admit that he really knows what game he is
playing. Why does this work on Elisa but not on Rachel? The only thing I can use to speak to her is my
mother's heirloom. But, it makes her act even more on guard toward me. J*sus, this is going to be the
death of me!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter wallowing in anger for some time, Vincent suddenly remembered something and looked at
Gareth.
"Wait – didn't you say that you didn't like Elisa a while back? Why are you comparing yourself to me
now? Are you admitting that you've fallen for her?"
Jeremy looked at him quietly. Do you even need to ask this question out loud? Gareth will never admit
it. Based on his temperament and his pride, he would never do such a thing. Or perhaps he isn't even
aware of it himself.
It was clear to them that Gareth had taken a liking to Elisa, but they were unsure if he was aware of it.
With a slight frown, Gareth said, "We're talking about our current condition, and I'm analyzing my
situation for you. This has nothing to do with my feelings."
"D*mn it! You're such a jerk! You talk to her every day, trying to get closer to her, yet you're telling me
that you don't like her in the end! Are you serious?" Vincent snorted in exasperation as he poured
another glass of wine. "Is it that difficult to admit it?"
