Elisa explained earnestly, "You're not the only member of the Garner family. If you become the only heir, the other family members will surely be dissatisfied. My current situation is just like yours. If I collaborate with you now, you can help me out too when you become successful. Of course, I'll assist you as much as I can. I need a friend, and I think you're a perfect candidate. Would you like to be my friend?"
Linda didn't expect Elisa to have such an intention. If she hadn't carefully checked her appearance to ensure there were no flaws, she would think that Elisa had seen through her.
Nonetheless, her cosmetics were specially made and impervious to water and heat. Even the makeup artist was professionally trained. So, Linda was confident that Elisa wouldn't discover something was off.
She thought it was a great chance, given Elisa's intention. However, she couldn't agree with Elisa immediately.
Pressing her lips, she feigned a hesitant expression and asked, "Mrs. Wickam, wouldn't Mr. Wickam help you?"
"Sigh! Your mother must have told you about how Gareth is wealthy and influential in Bayswe. You just returned, so you might not know the situation between Gareth and me. In fact, we're divorced, and we're just putting on an act now. We're not as harmonious as we appear to be. He doesn't like me; the person he likes is my cousin, Linda Benett…"
Elisa moved her chair toward Linda to draw close to her and deliberately lowered her voice, putting on a depressed look.
"How is that possible?" Linda's heart jolted as she blurted subconsciously.
Elisa must be kidding me! Or… Could it be that Gareth hasn't gotten over me?
She never thought that Elisa and Gareth were merely putting on an act. They were always together from Moranta to Bayswe. Moreover, Gareth introduced Elisa to other guests just now.
Linda knew Gareth well and could tell that he was serious about Elisa. Otherwise, he wouldn't go this far for her.
The statement about Gareth having feelings for her was the greatest joke. He gave everyone the illusion that he liked her, but the truth was that the only one he loved was Elisa.
He married Elisa to make her his legitimate wife and continued to be entangled with her even after the divorce. His love for Elisa was made apparent through his words and actions.
On the other hand, Gareth refused to acknowledge the status between him and Linda, even after Linda had regained consciousness.
