Chapter 67 There’s No Other Woman Better Than Her
Linda panicked and quickly grabbed hold of Shirley’s arm as she looked at Elisa. “Liz, Shirley is actually a nice girl, please don’t have the wrong impression of her. Similarly, Shirley, Liz is a great person. Please don’t misunderstand her too…”
Gareth immediately snorted out laughing and looked at Elisa coldly. “If you have any dissatisfaction, just direct them at me.”
Shirley was ecstatic to hear that.
Elisa merely turned around and smiled at his sharp gaze. “I publicly announced that I want a divorce during the dinner party the other day. You couldn’t even change my mind about it, so why should I be jealous of both of you?”
Gareth’s face immediately darkened when he heard that.
I will never forget the humiliation during that party!
“Very well, Elisa. You’ve become more capable.” He spoke through gritted teeth.
She let out a derisive snort. “It’s all thanks to you, Mr. Wickam. Don’t blame me for not reminding you – if we meet again, I just hope that we don’t have to say a single word to each other. Otherwise, if anything arises, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Even though she was directing her words to Linda, her gaze fell on Gareth, clearly warning him that he ought to take good care of Linda and watch over her.
She ignored Linda and her friends simply because they were insignificant to her; she did not want to waste her breath.
However, when Gareth came into the picture, she immediately became more ruthless. She could brush off comments made by anyone else but him. If he insulted her, she would retaliate without a second thought.
She had learned a lesson from her past three years of marriage – she should had made her own life more comfortable by retaliating to anyone she did not like.
Linda’s expression changed. “Liz, you should… hold your tongue.”
Elisa let out another snort. Ever since Gareth entered, he had been trying to bite her head off. Nevertheless, it was already a normal occurrence to her at this point. It was just out of her expectation to meet her ex-husband and his lover just by going out for lunch.
She no longer wanted to pay attention to them, so she waved to the waitress, who had been watching the drama unfold in front of her.
“Hello.”
She knew that she should had serve them as soon as they arrived, but she did not dare to interrupt their confrontation just now.
At this moment, she quickly walked over and asked respectfully, “Ms. Benett, do you have any reservations, or would you like to find an empty seat?”
Before she could continue, the door suddenly opened once again. Elisa pointed at the man who just entered and said, “He has a reservation.”
Gareth and the rest turned around and saw Will walking through the door with a smile on his face.
He arched his eyebrows when he saw Gareth. “What a coincidence, Mr. Wickam.”
On the other hand, Gareth’s expression immediately turned colder.
Him again!
His gaze was so cold that one could feel a chill running down their spines.
The few women next to Linda immediately changed their expressions, with jealousy apparent on their faces.
How is she fit to be together with another capable guy right after the divorce? Where did her luck come from?
Looking at Will coldly, Gareth asked, “I didn’t know you like used goods so much, Mr. Darcey.”
Elisa laughed irately, but Will replied nonchalantly, “I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Wickam, but I would like to thank you for giving her up; I don’t think I can find another woman better than her.” With that, he looked at Linda’s friends. “Hello, ladies. Liz is important to me. Since you are her cousin’s friends, you will treat her well, won’t you?”
Shirley and the rest slightly changed their demeanor, not knowing what he was up to.
In the next moment, he continued with a smile, “If you do so, I’ll remember your kindness. Otherwise, I will definitely punish anyone who bullies her.”
