Chapter 82 Wishes Don’t Come Easy
Linda nodded sympathetically to her mother-in-law. “Yes, the Internet is always vicious. Don’t worry, that is the norm.”
“No! What I meant is those two have gone too far!” Mrs. Wickam cried. At that moment, Linda was the least of her priority and immediately dialed a number on her phone.
Immediately, the receiver on the other line picked up her call. Mrs. Wickam said through gritted teeth, “Where are you now?”
Jerry Wickam was on the other line and calmly replied, “On the way home.”
Mrs. Wickam clenched her phone to calm her temper. “Why did you meet with Elisa without informing me?! We’re going to have a discussion when you get back!”
Linda held back a sneer as the two argued. Now that she instilled a bad reputation for Elisa, Mrs. Wickam will now lose trust on Elisa more and more. Elisa won’t have to return to the Benett’s again.
The master of the house was Mr. Wickam’s father, and he did not look up to Elisa with respect. Since Elisa gained the Benett name through marriage, it was only time she will be removed.
Linda tugged the corner of Mrs. Wickam’s blouse and gave her a worried expression.
Mrs. Wickam held her hand in response while she continued to berate the receiver. “You come back to the mansion this instant! Since you have neglected the Wickam name, look at the damage you have done!”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Linda actually got concerned for a moment. “Auntie, I’m sure Mr. Wickam will arrive soon. You must not let your emotions take over. Perhaps all of this is a simple misunderstanding.” Linda said.
Mrs. Wickam laughed maliciously and said, “What are you afraid of my dear?”
Before this, Mr. Wickam always knew her husband was too easy on Elisa. She just blamed it on his kind nature. But now…things weren’t as simple as that!
….
At that very moment, Elisa had just gotten off from work. However, she had plans to buy out a mall. The business looked promising, and the owner wanted to sell it out urgently.
The mall had a stable and profitable streak, and Elisa was adamant to buy it. She disguised herself after work.
Elisa was going to lock it down.
She disguised herself with some sunglasses and a face mask to avoid any familiar faces on the way.
When she arrived at the mall, she met the owner and revealed her intention. Prior to this, they had discussed a selling price which Elisa came to make the agreement official.
The owner gave Elisa a tour of the mall as he explained all of its features. “All of this was built from my blood, sweat, and tears. However, I’ve got myself in a pickle and need money for a new project.” He explained. “Dear, you are still young, but I believe you have what it takes to run it. If you face any difficulties with this business in the future, I’m here to help.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mason.” Elisa said with gratitude.
Mr. Mason gave a nonchalant nod and said, “Well, you don’t become an owner overnight.”
With one last inspection, Elisa nodded and remarked, “Well, everything seems to be in order. Let’s make it official, Mr. Mason.”
Elisa had made the necessary preparations and proceeded to hand the paperwork to Mr. Mason. “Have your lawyer look at these first. If there are no issues, we can proceed and sign it.”
Mr. Mason knew that only the elite society could afford such a purchase. Naturally, he had made the following preparations as well. “I’ll contact my lawyer shortly.” Mr. Mason said.
Elisa gave a nod while Mr. Mason made his necessary phone calls.
The deal can be closed by tonight.
Well…
Unless someone tried to sabotage her!
