Linda was hopping mad. "Now that she has said those words to the reporters, my plan to marry Gareth is ruined!"
Rose too wore a sullen expression as she had not expected Elisa to make such a move. It was only then did she realize she had shot herself in the foot!
In the past, Linda had always given the public an impression of a selfless, kind woman. But now that Elisa made such an announcement to the media, she would be a known home-wrecker once she married Gareth.
"Calm down, Linda. There are still other ways."
Linda clenched her fists resentfully with a darkened face. She hadn't been this flustered!
"She must have purposely lured the reporters there!" Rose added.
Linda looked at Rose and asked, "Mom, did you say there are other ways?"
Rose sighed and answered, "The only way now is to get the Wickam family to clarify the situation and explain the reason for you marrying Gareth. Since Elisa has built this 'good' image for you, you have to maintain it."
Her eyes filled with intense irritation, Linda was dying to tear Elisa into pieces.
She took a deep breath and blurted, "Now, we can only seize the opportunity during Old Madam Wickam's birthday banquet."
"Have you prepared the gift?"
Linda bit her lips. "Yes. I know her preference, and the gift is extremely luxurious, so she'll most probably like it."
Rose was relieved. "That's good. I trust your decision. Make sure to perform well at the banquet."
Linda nodded and said nothing else.
With that, the silence in the room was restored.
