We are not getting remarried show yourself out (Elisa and Gareth) novel Chapter 1870

Chapter 1870 Slander

Moonlight kissed the sea, setting its waves aglow, and Elisa was nowhere to be found, entirely off the grid.

Rochelle breathed out a mixture of relief and sorrow. It was a pity that someone as remarkable as Gareth would meet such a tragic end...

Too bad. It had to be that way.

Rochelle's expression turned steely, resolute in removing any obstacles from her path.

Snapping back to reality, the man who had initially invited Elisa to dance was about to dive into the sea, searching for her.

But Paul interjected. He looked at the crowd and announced, "I get that we're all concerned about Ms. Benett, and I am too. However, in her absence, my responsibility is the safety of everyone present. It's wiser to wait until we're on solid ground before seeking assistance."

With Paul's words, the crowd's resistance dwindled.

Bella had been lost in a daze, but now she snapped back to her senses, determined to leap into the sea and rescue Elisa. Her sudden action sent shockwaves through the crowd, leaving them gasping in horror.

However, fate played a double-edged game. Bella's intentions were thwarted.

Rochelle swiftly intervened, halting her in her tracks. Their struggle ended in a tumble onto the deck, with Rochelle managing an unexpected feat—positioning herself astride Bella.

Bella murmured in a daze, "Let me go… let me go down..."

Rochelle's response was a slap that seemed to hush the world.

With a grip on Bella's collar, Rochelle's tone oozed menace, "Don't think dying will clear your guilt. Legal consequences await you!"

Bella stood there, momentarily stunned, shaking her head as she stepped back, a clear sense of devastation on her face. How could this have happened? Both Gareth and Elisa had fallen off the ship. How am I supposed to explain all this to Grandma?

Bella sat there, cradling her head in anguish, lost in silence. In the midst of this, Paul motioned to a nearby waiter.

The waiter hesitated a bit and then stepped forward, saying, "I saw it happen. This lady here pushed Ms. Benett into the water. Even though Ms. Benett cried out for help, she just ignored her. By the time I realized Ms. Benett was gone from the surface. Her last words were, 'So your text message was a trap.'"

Camden, who had asked Elisa to dance, piped up, "Why didn't you speak up earlier?"

Slowly, the crowd started to connect the dots, gazing at the waiter with puzzled expressions. If this story was true, why wasn't she the first on the scene instead of Rochelle?

For a brief moment, the waiter looked panicked, glancing between Paul and Rochelle.
