No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Endless Tricks
Julia finally noticed Gareth, and her expression instantly turned sullen. “Brat! Are you still not taking my birthday seriously? Why are you here this late?”
“I wouldn’t dare,” Gareth answered calmly. Then, he glanced at the dazzling Elisa and said, “Grandma, you only have eyes for Elisa. Why would you have time for me?”
Julia sneered in anger, “You stinking brat! Are you mocking me? From now on, Elisa is my granddaughter, and your father’s daughter. Thus, she is your sister.”
Elisa, Gareth, and the crowd were all shocked.
What kind of joke is this? How did his ex-wife suddenly turn into his sister? What is going on here?
On the other hand, Linda suddenly broke into a smile. It’s good that she is his sister. Then, they can never marry each other again.
She did not care what others thought and walked ahead with a smile. “That’s wonderful. Previously, I kept worrying about whether it would be awkward once Elisa and Gareth divorced. Now that they will be brother and sister, it’s the best ending everyone can hope for.”
Ending.
It was a word that carried deep meaning.
It meant Elisa and Gareth’s journey as husband and wife had come to an end.
Rachel smirked. What is Linda up to now? Why is she eager to accept that Elisa and Gareth are siblings?
Sometimes, speaking too much will lead to more slip-ups.
She thought speaking up would protect her image. However, people will suspect her intentions because of those words.
Everyone looked at Gareth and wondered how he would react to what Julia said.
They felt the birthday banquet was getting more interesting. One could never predict what would happen next.
As expected, Gareth did not disappoint. He glanced at Elisa indifferently before saying, “You can adopt a granddaughter, and Dad can adopt a daughter. However, it doesn’t mean I want to have a sister from out of nowhere.”
“You…” Julia wanted to say something.
However, Jerry interrupted quickly, “Mom, don’t bother yourself with Elisa and Gareth’s matter. It’s your birthday today, so let’s begin the birthday banquet.”
Julia felt frustrated, but she knew how stubborn Gareth was. Thus, she nodded. “Alright, let’s begin.”
Thus, Darren, who had been sitting beside Julia all this while, glanced at the crowd before saying, “Good evening, everyone. Since most of you have been to the past birthday banquets, there is no need for me to give a grand speech this year. Still, I would like to thank everyone for attending this birthday banquet.”
Then, Jerry raised his glass with a smile. “Cheers, everyone.”
He drank the wine after saying that.
Everyone raised their glass too.
Most of the time, banquets would be grand. The host would hire a presenter and give high-sounding speeches.
However, most people were sick of hearing such things and found them boring.
Thus, he thought to save time and let the guest interact amongst themselves.
After all, the Wickam family was of high social standing, so anything they did was right in the guests’ eyes. Furthermore, Jerry felt the Wickam family had set a good example by giving a short speech.
Meanwhile, Gareth had no intention of speaking to the crowd.
Thus, everyone soon took their seats.
As expected, Julia and the rest of the Wickam family would be seated at the same table. While Elisa hesitated about where she should go, Julia immediately took her under her wing.
She dragged Elisa to the table and said adamantly, “You will sit beside me. I will only be happy when you celebrate my birthday with me!”
Then, she glanced at Gareth and said, “Come here, you stinking brat. You are sitting beside me too!”
Darren’s expression darkened instantly. “What about me!”
