"I understand your feelings and know you don't want to hurt anyone. I'm not asking you to sabotage Elisa. I'm just resentful about them reconciling. I can't be with Gareth anymore, but I'd rather you be with him than Elisa. You don't know how conniving she is. She doesn't like him at all. She's just…"
She paused dramatically to pique Nicole's interest.
Nicole looked at Linda, waiting for her to continue.
Linda sighed, "Elisa has a motive for getting closer to him. Why do you think we had a fallout? Why would I want them to divorce?"
Nicole's forehead creased. "Why?"
"When Elisa's father was still alive, I accidentally overheard their conversation one day." Linda snorted.
Nicole listened attentively.
Linda let out another snort. "Neither the father nor the daughter is up to any good. They had been plotting to sabotage Gareth's career after the marriage. Though Elisa and Gareth seemed loving on the surface – the media even referred to them as the model couple – it was all planned by Elisa's father without Gareth's agreement. Judging from your family background, I'm sure you can check if this is true. You'll find out eventually."
Nicole was stunned to hear that. Is that true?
Before this, she only read the news about them. Though she knew some insider information, she didn't know as much as Linda.
