Chapter 352 Tell Me Something I Don’t Know
“I apologize for being direct, but I was more surprised to find out that you divorced because of your cousin.”
Elisa pursed her lips.
It was likely difficult for bystanders to understand how important Linda was to Gareth.
Elisa would not let herself be bothered by what Nicole said. After all, she did not care about Gareth. Thus, Nicole’s words could not hurt her.
Then, Elisa smiled and did not say anything.
Nicole looked at Elisa with a hint of surprise. Elisa was completely different from what she imagined.
After pausing briefly, Nicole said with a smile, “I hope you’re not my rival.”
Elisa nodded nonchalantly. “Don’t worry. I’ve had enough of hitting against the wall. Thus, I have no desire to humiliate myself again. If you think a little more, you’ll understand why he brought me to this banquet and appeared before everyone.”
Nicole has power and various means at her disposal. Thus, it was likely that she knew Gareth’s reason for coming here. She probably even knew about the Wickam family’s present situation.
Therefore, Elisa believed she did not need to reveal anything. Nicole should already know.
As expected, Nicole nodded. “I hope you keep to your words.”
Everyone thought Elisa and Nicole would be enemies. Yet, they appeared to get along fine. No one could find any trace of animosity between them.
Many people were looking at them, hoping to catch something to gossip about.
But they were disappointed.
…
As Elisa only found out about the banquet at the last minute, she had no idea that this banquet was broadcasted live.
Although the audience could not hear the banquet guests’ conversation, they could still see who the guests interacted with and what they were doing.
Everyone anticipated Gareth to appear. When they saw him arriving with the equally anticipated Elisa, the news spread through various forums. Numerous people talked about it frenziedly. Some people were so happy that they were on the verge of tears.
—Little Bird: Boohoo… I knew they would reconcile. Previously, they were so loving together. It must have been due to some misunderstanding that they split. But true love always prevails. I’m waiting for them to get back together, and I want more of their loving moments! There haven’t been any loving moments between them for so long that I’m nearly starved to death!
—Carousel: No! I don’t want to see them reconcile! Something must be wrong with Elisa! Mr. Wickam is so good to her and loyal too. Yet, she did not appreciate him and cheated on him during their marriage. Now, she has the audacity to return to his side! She should scram! Mr. Wickam is mine!
—Slippy: No one knows the whole truth of the matter. Things are not always black and white.
—My Husband Is Will Darcey: Boohoo… No way. I was rooting for Mr. Darcey and Elisa. How could she get back with Gareth again? I don’t like this!
—Mimi Ziegler: Elisa is double-faced and a cheater! Why do you still side with her?
Will was reading the comments while watching the live broadcast. When he saw Elisa holding Gareth’s arm, his usually cheery self disappeared, and his gaze turned cold.
At the same time, his assistant, Cole, reported more matters to Will.
Will responded flatly, “I already know those things. Tell me something I don’t know.”
Cole nodded and began again. “Ms. Benett has a mother who disappeared. At the time, her mother wanted a son and not a daughter, but Elisa’s father was impotent. Thus, she abandoned Elisa and her father and left by herself. No one knows where she is now.”
Will continued to scroll on his phone screen.
“Ms. Benett now believes there is something strange about her father’s death. She had already instructed Charli from her law firm to investigate. They managed to gather some evidence, but the evidence is incomplete.”
“Norman, his wife, and daughter had moved out of the house and left it for Ms. Elisa.”
Will was not interested in these things, but what Cole said next prompted him to look up immediately.
