Elisa was shocked and looked at him with confusion.
She could not understand why Gareth spoke in such a tone.
His tone almost made her think that he was apologetic.
Elisa looked at him but remained silent.
Gareth held her hand and said coldly, "What is your purpose for coming here this time?"
Elisa was rendered speechless.
I was mistaken. His tone is as harsh as usual. Why did I think that he was apologetic?
Elisa snorted coldly and replied, "What's the purpose of informing you? Mr. Wickam, when you make any major plans, don't you also hide it from outsiders?"
Outsiders.
Although Elisa did not emphasize the said word, Gareth found it unpleasant.
Elisa! Elisa!
How dare you?
Elisa wanted to free her hand from his grip, but he was too strong.
Elisa was deeply frustrated by his behavior. "Gareth! Why won't you let go of my hand? Even if you and I get married, it doesn't mean I must keep working with you. I still have to collaborate with Will frequently. You might as well not think about this matter. Otherwise, it will only bother you!"
After she had spoken, the atmosphere in the office froze. Gareth stared daggers at her face.
Elisa was not intimidated but was irritated with him.
At the same time, she was concerned that Gareth seemed determined to find out her aim. If she refused to tell him, it would anger him and possibly cause her problems in the future.
Then, it would be even more difficult for her to carry out her plan. Thus, she considered briefly and said, "I want to get Benett Corporation back. Thus, I must collaborate with Darcey Group and let everyone in Benett Corporation know I'm indispensable. At the same time, I also wish to regain my shares. Mr. Wickam, is this a good enough explanation for you?"
If you agree, let me go!
Elisa's patience was running thin.
Although Gareth's expression remained stern, Elisa sensed his mood had calmed slightly.
It makes sense why he reacted like this. I'm his ex-wife. He's pursuing me openly, but I'm involved with Will. From Gareth's perspective, it would seem like a mockery, making him feel humiliated.
Hah, I understand why he reacts like this.
Elisa hid the disdain in her gaze and said, "Can you let me go now?"
Since when did Gareth start behaving this way to force people into giving him what he wants? Just now, he even…
The memory made her lips uncomfortable. They felt like they had just been kissed.
She had only managed to calm down a while ago, but her heart started beating faster.
Elisa's expression turned stern as she tried to control her emotions.
Gareth looked at her coldly. "Why didn't you come to me?"
Elisa frowned. "With the state of our relationship, what makes you think I would want to ask for your help? Do I have to walk on eggshells around you all the time?"
She believed her identity as Rene Coavilla enabled her to choose anyone to work with. Still, she narrowed her choices to Wickam Group and Darcey Group because they were the most prominent companies. If she had any conflict with Darcey Group, she had no problem leaving it and settling for the next best thing.
Gareth's expression darkened. D*mn it, woman! It's because of your ruthless schemes that things are in this state!
