Chapter 42 This Woman Is Indeed a Stunning Creature!
Gareth didn’t bother to look at her.
Linda was actually happy in her heart when she saw Elisa and Will chatting and laughing together. She had been planning and waiting for today’s outcome for three years.
Elisa jumped into the trap herself, so don’t blame me for going too far.
It was Mr. Morris’s birthday that day, but Elisa, Will, Gareth, and Linda had become the four main characters at the banquet.
Everyone was focusing on Gareth and Will’s battle for Elisa.
Everyone was waiting for them to put on a good show.
Gareth stared icily at Elisa.
Elisa raised her head. Her mouth tilted slightly and greeted, “Hi. You guys made it here.”
Elisa showed no emotion when she spoke. Will’s mouth tilted slightly, “Mr. Wickam, it’s rare to see you with other female companion other than dear Elisa.”
Dear Elisa?
Gareth got angrier.
He sneered, “It’s also my first time seeing you with a female companion. Moreover, your female companion is my wife.”
Linda was upset when she heard what Gareth said. She couldn’t tell if Gareth was trying to confuse the guests or… he just simply couldn’t let Elisa go.
Will chuckled, “Your wife?”
Gareth was furious when Elisa became estranged from him.
He stared icily at her, “How long are you trying to keep this up?”
“Mr. Wickam, you’re being too suspicious.” Elisa sneered. “I can make a fuss if you want me to.”
“Elisa!” Gareth gritted his teeth and shouted.
Elisa didn’t care about Gareth. She smiled at Will and said, “Shall I join you in taking care of the acquaintances you mentioned earlier?”
Will smiled and replied, “Sure.”
He bent his arms. Elisa was trying to place her hand on Will’s arm, but was stopped by Gareth.
Gareth was staring murderously at her.
Seeing that Gareth was trying to pull Elisa away, Linda took a deep breath and quickly grabbed Gareth’s arm. “Gareth.”
Linda looked at Gareth and tried to remind him that there were plenty of people around.
Gareth pursed his lips and didn’t let go. On the other side, Elisa dropped her gaze, yanked Gareth’s hand away, and placed her hand on Will’s arm.
Will took Elisa away and went to greet Mr. Godfrey under everyone’s attention.
Mr. Godfrey was overwhelmed. He quickly greeted back with, “Mr. Darcey, would you like a drink?”
Will smiled and swirled the champagne in his hand, “I’m driving today, so I’ll pass.”
Mr. Godfrey smiled respectfully, “That’s alright. I never had the chance to invite Mr. Darcey for a dinner. I wonder if Mr. Darcey is free.”
Will smiled and replied, “I’ll check my schedule.”
Mr. Godfrey wasn’t happy about his answer but could only smile. He should be grateful that Will had taken the initiative to talk to him. He was also afraid that Will would run away, so he did not discuss business with him.
Instead, he fixed his eyes on Elisa again. He was sizing Elisa up and down.
This woman is indeed a stunning creature!
No wonder Mr. Darcey likes her so much. He even made an exception to bring a female companion with him.
Mr. Godfrey couldn’t hold back his curiosity, so he asked, “Why did Mrs. Wickam join Mr. Darcey at the banquet today?”
