No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 A Compensation of Fifty Million
Monica’s blood began to boil.
“Mom, why are you still siding with an outsider at this time?”
Elisa glanced at Monica. Monica’s temper and personality were not the best. But being born into a well-off family, she had elegance and poise. Elisa had never heard a word of profanity from her before. However, that didn’t mean that she was a virtuous person.
Monica had always given Elisa the cold shoulder and looked down on her. When Elisa was a part of the family, she had to respect Monica, who was her mother-in-law. Now that there were no more relations between them, was there any point in giving the same respect and apologies just as she did before?
If Monica threatened to hurt her in any way, Elisa would no longer hold herself back.
Elisa averted her eyes from Monica and looked at Julia. “Grandma, I’ll attend tomorrow’s banquet since you hope that I’ll go. Since the circumstances are not the best, I’ll leave now. I’ll visit you again when Mrs. Wickam is not around.”
Monica was furious.
Elisa Benett! Am I a hindrance to you now?!
She stared at Elisa coldly. “Elisa, you are no longer a part of this family. You know very well that we do not welcome you here.”
Elisa nodded her head while smiling. “I understand, Mrs. Wickam. I won’t come when you are around. After all, many others live here too. I don’t want to upset grandma because of you.”
Monica was fuming. As she was about to admonish Elisa, Elisa spoke again. “I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll leave so you won’t be annoyed anymore.”
Elisa left immediately with the gift she had brought. Since grandma didn’t want it now, she would give it to grandma tomorrow.
As the front door closed, Elisa could hear Monica complaining to Julia, but Julia ignored her and went up the stairs.
Even as Monica quietened down, Elisa knew that she must be holding back her anger.
Elisa was about to head to the law firm when she received a call from Rachel, requesting her to head to her law firm. Elisa complied and drove to the office.
As she entered the office, she saw Rachel bashing her mouse sullenly. She sat in front of Rachel. “My dear friend, what made you so gloomy today?”
Rachel lifted her head and brightened up. “Elisa, you’re here!”
Elisa nodded and looked at the information on Rachel’s computer screen. “Did you accept this case?”
“Yeah! This scumbag! He lied to me!”
“What happened?” Elisa asked while scanning through the information.
Rachel gritted her teeth. “When Ben Lee came to me for help, the statements he gave were not in line with the documents he gave to me at all. He said that when he signed the contract, the other party boasted and exaggerated the terms. But when I read through the contract, it was obvious that he hadn’t read through the terms properly. I told him I wouldn’t be taking his case as it would be impossible to win. But he threatened me, saying that I must take on the case since I agreed to it. If we lose the case, he wants fifty million in compensation! Where would I find this sum of money to compensate him?!”
