Chapter 135 Digging a Trap
Elisa answered with nonchalance, “We had no chemistry.”
The reporter was excited by Elisa’s response, and quickly shot another question, “Is this all because of your cousin?”
Linda clenched her phone to calm her anger. She glowered at the person on the screen.
Mrs. Meek frowned and added, “Will Elisa take the opportunity to tell your story?”
Linda made an irate expression. “I’m not afraid if she does. On the contrary, I’m hoping she does make a statement on it.”
“Why is that?” Mrs. Meek added.
Linda clutched her phone tighter and replied irately, “If Elisa speaks ill of me, my next move is to destroy her reputation. I’ll have people spread rumors and turn her into a pariah, and then my own public image will be reinstated as an innocent victim of this whole ordeal.”
Mrs. Meek simply nodded and expressed, “Yes, but this whole thing will backfire if she praises you in public. Wouldn’t this make your plans difficult to use Elisa as a tool to elevate your reputation?”
“Why, this woman is cunning!” Linda said with gritted teeth. “Well just let the events unfold. I can only hope she curses me on live cameras.”
In the meantime, Rachel Markee was still standing behind Elisa. Her eyes flashed as an epiphany struck her. Was she deliberately leading the reporters to be questioned? If Elisa hadn’t said anything, they would have exited the restaurant without the herd of reporters stopping them.
Rachel froze as she saw through Elisa’s ploy. Slowly, she’s being revealed the notoriety of the Benetts firsthand!
“My sister-in-law is Mr. Bennett’s lifeline. He should treat Linda, his savior, with the utmost integrity. Linda Benett is a righteous woman. Even when she is tied with Mr. Benett, she did not attempt to separate me from Garett. This woman even persuaded us to reconcile our relationship with each other. Mr. Benett and I are divorced, and my sister-in-law could never be the reason for it.”
Linda yelled, “Damn it!”
She knew Elisa was too smart to dig herself a grave.
Mrs. Meek growled, “This absolute b*tch!”
The reporters grew excited, as they were given this nugget of information. Some of them decided to chase Elisa with more questions.
“Then, with you being divorced, does this mean Mr. Benett will marry your cousin?”
“I never know what goes on in Garett’s mind, but…” Elisa drawled. Since Linda likes to dig her own grave, let me give her a helping hand!
The reporters were ecstatic. Yet, that deliberate ‘but’ was getting a little long. It must be a piece of big news if Elisa was hesitant with this information!
“This b*tch!” Linda cried.
Linda found it hard to maintain her composure at that moment. She was cursing out of sheer anger!
She never loses her composure this way!
Mrs. Meek blurted, “We can’t let Elisa keep talking!”
“There’s no one on our side to stop her there. How do you suppose we do that?!”
“Call her!”
“This will only piss her off more!” Linda shrieked. Elisa Bennett is in the middle of plotting her downfall.
As the anticipated crowd waited for Elisa’s response, she finally spoke. “I implore people not to think of my cousin in this light. When Mr. Benett and I were in a rocky position, I realized my cousin was doing everything to keep us together. I’ve often encountered Linda out with Mr. Benett, together, as she persuades the two of us to reconcile.”
Linda: “!!!”
Rachel was on the brink of bursting out laughing. She tried her best to hold it in, but it was getting difficult.
Hahahahaha…
Well, this is a brilliant move!
But no, Elisa isn’t done yet!
Everyone’s expression dropped. Linda has gone too far!
Elisa claimed that Linda was trying to persuade the couple to reconcile. Yet, she frequently went out for dinner with Mr. Benett. Did she even try to avoid suspicion? How shameless.
