Chapter 175 Had So Much Fun
Rose took a deep breath, “Mrs. Wickam just called and told me that Old Madam Wickam is feeling much better now. She also said that someone will come see you and that they will overlook this.”
Linda gritted her teeth, “Why does it matter if they overlook this? Now everyone will think that I’m a hypocrite! They’ll think that I made up stories about my relationship with Elisa. Elisa was kind enough to remind me, but I acted like the dog who bit the hand that fed me! I even tried to surpass her! How will I ever clear my name?!”
She had spent years protecting her image, and now it was all for naught! Elisa had torn apart her façade!
“Gareth barely said a word to me today! He even glared at me! He doesn’t love me anymore! How will I face him now? What will people say about me?!”
Rose tried to talk sense into her. “The Benett name still holds some worth. No one would dare speak ill of you. Linda, dear, don’t worry about your image. Your priority right now is to make sure Gareth marries you. We’re all businessmen here. This will benefit all parties. No matter what they say about you, you are still the person who saved Gareth’s life.”
Norman nodded seriously, “That’s right. We can slowly try to fix what Elisa said about you. There’s still a chance you can comeback from this. Don’t give up so easily! There is no chance the Wickams will call this off!”
Hearing this, Linda finally managed to calm down.
The both of them knew that they needed to give her some space to vent after what had happened earlier.
Even though Linda was still angry, she knew that her parents were right.
She frowned, “What should I do next?”
Right now, her emotions were in a mess. She was also afraid that Gareth no longer had any feelings for her.
But her parents were right. Sometimes mutual benefits outweigh feelings. Sooner or later, Gareth and she were going to be married.
“We’ll invite Elisa over tomorrow and let them know that the both of you are friendly. As for you, just continue what you’re doing and build a good image for yourself. Pretend to set aside what had happened in the past. Remember, you are kind and forgiving. She’s your cousin and you’re willing to let this go.”
Linda narrowed her eyes but nodded in agreement.
“That’s right,” Rose added, “Monica highly approves on your marriage with Gareth. I’ll sit down with her and find a solution together. If possible, there are ways to make sure that this cannot be reversed.”
Linda’s features tensed. “Mom…”
She wasn’t embarrassed. It’s just… She had never done this before, and Gareth wasn’t someone who would easily give in to that!
Besides, she was a girl. How would she even bring this up to him? Won’t he think that she was too easy?
“The past is the past. What we must do is hold onto the future. Just wait. I’ll give you what you wish.” Rose said coldly.
Linda looked at her in surprise, “How will you do that, Mom?”
“Don’t worry about that. Do what you must to protect your image and don’t leave the house after tomorrow. We don’t know who’s watching. Do the best you can. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the Wickam residence to pay Old Madam Wickam a visit.”
“Okay.” Linda nodded.
She felt much more assured now that her parents had planned everything out for her.
It was late at night now, and Linda felt less anxious.
As for Elisa and her friends, they were having the night of their lives.
