Elisa smiled cryptically. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Garner."
She deliberately emphasized the word 'Garner.'
Linda's heart skipped a beat. Has Elisa discovered my identity?
She smiled but remained silent.
Meanwhile, Elisa observed the person before her.
She could finally see Melinda's eyes closely.
However, they seemed a little different from when she first saw them. Suddenly, Melinda did not look as familiar as Elisa thought. Still, Elisa thought her voice sounded fake.
Mrs. Garner did not let Melinda linger at their table and ushered her to meet other guests.
"Are you suspecting Melinda is Linda?"
Gareth's voice sounded in her ear.
Elisa jumped at the sudden noise. At the same time, she was surprised by his question. "Why do you ask?"
"Don't you know Linda is not dead?"
His reply stunned Elisa.
She stared at him quietly. This means Gareth also knows Linda is not dead.
He mentioned nothing about this previously when we talked about Linda.
However, it's pointless to dwell on this now.
"Don't worry. I'll investigate this." Gareth offered to take over the matter.
Elisa pondered in silence.
After a while, she turned to Gareth and replied, "Are you investigating this matter because it involves Linda? Gareth, what are you planning?"
"Don't overthink it. I wish to investigate because I don't want you to be troubled. Nothing will happen between me and Linda."
Gareth had only felt grateful to Linda because she had saved his life. He felt indebted to her.
However, he later found out that everything was a lie.
He would never have said those words to Elisa if he still had feelings for Linda.
Furthermore, Gareth had figured out his feelings. He knew he only wished to be with Elisa and not Linda.
"Is that so?" Elisa sneered.
Gareth answered urgently, "If you don't believe me…"
"What will you do if I don't believe you?" Elisa laughed and interrupted Gareth before he could finish speaking.
She did not think he could do anything.
Furthermore, she could not stay by his side twenty-four-seven and observe all his actions.
After all, a person's outward behavior and words differ from their true thoughts.
Gareth pursed his lips and said calmly, "Elisa, I know you don't trust me on matters regarding Linda, but I will prove myself to you."
Elisa retorted mockingly, "So what?"
Nothing will change even if he proves his trustworthiness.
It won't undo the things he had done for Linda.
