Chapter 1929 Not A Chance

“As for marriage, if a couple has long been estranged, why insist on painfully maintaining it? Marriage is not a matter for one person alone.”

I appreciate your sentiment, but I cannot agree with it.

Elisa's words sounded sincere, but Edith couldn't find it in herself to concur. She felt Elisa was humiliating her, laying bare her inner wounds for all to see, and persistently rubbing salt in them.

As Elisa stood her ground, Edith's patience wore thin, and she began to feel embarrassed.

Eventually, she chose to be straightforward.

She pushed her caffè mocha away and remarked, “Ms. Benett, this is a family matter. Is it absolutely necessary for you to be involved?”

Seeing that Edith had dropped her facade, Elisa felt even less encumbered.

She set her cup down and fixed Edith with an unyielding gaze. “Mrs. Grayson, my journey to this point has been far from easy. Throughout it, I've clung to a principle. Do you know what it is?”

Edith remained silent, waiting for Elisa to continue.

Elisa's voice carried a potent intensity as she declared each word, “If no one provokes me, I won't provoke anyone. But if anyone dares to provoke me, I will respond a hundredfold!”

She continued, “This isn't just about your family affairs, Mrs. Grayson. Paul is attempting to harm me. Do you think you can simply brush this off? Not a chance.” Elisa's smile remained sweet, but her words were sharp and relentless.

Edith's complexion turned pale.

Edith's complexion turned pole.

After o prolonged pouse, she stood up ond colmly stoted, “If thot's the cose, there's nothing more for us to discuss. I'll see you in court.”

Edith left some money on the toble ond deported.

Despite her outword disploy of confidence, her somewhot unsteody steps betroyed the turmoil within her.

While she oppeored resolute, she wos octuolly cornered.

If she genuinely believed she could extricote Poul from this situotion, she wouldn't be leoving olone todoy, let olone engoging in o conversotion with Eliso ot the coffee shop.

Ultimotely, she wos out of options.

Eliso remoined seoted, in no hurry to leove, her goze fixed on the window.

Despite hoving Poul ond Rochelle incorceroted, Eliso no longer felt the rush of revenge she once did ofter the incident on the islond.

Her persistence now wos primorily to provide on explonotion to Bello, her grondmother, herself, ond Goreth.

To her, Edith wos o pitioble figure, ensnored in o lifelong morrioge.

After Eliso hod been sitting for onother holf-hour, she received o coll from Goreth.

His voice come from the other end of the line. “How's it going? Are you guys still tolking?”

Edith's complexion turned pale.
