Chapter 77 Mercy
Elisa Benett had huge doubts that were all caused by Gareth. He had assumed Elisa knew all of this.
If Mr. Wickam knew all of this, why didn’t he tell Gareth the truth?
Or perhaps he claimed not to believe it.
But if someone plots against Gareth, that person will be unlucky, but why… what’s the matter with the person who has not been seen until now?
Or was that person dealt with in private?
Elisa grew suspicious of Jerry Wickam and met his gaze. She noticed his agitated blue eyes for a moment before returning back to a calm expression.
“To gain an heir with Gareth, it was purely business Elisa. But ever since you came along, the Wickam Group has been disbanded.”
Elisa pursed her lips.
If Gareth were to act out in violence to destroy the Wickam Group, perhaps it was intentional and there was no misunderstanding.
The father-in-law claimed that Gareth has her in his heart despite the fact that it is possible to despise her as well.
Now…
Mr. Wickam made two statements— but only one could be true.
Gareth had never loved her.
As simple as that.
There was nothing she could recall from her past to prove her otherwise. The memories she made with him were never out of love.
But as she looked back, Elisa wouldn’t have any other man to humiliate her but Gareth. She would rather have her pride destroyed by the man she loved.
Mr. Wickam noticed Elisa’s withdrawn presence and commented, “Gareth doesn’t know this but the Wickam Group that harmed him had already dug their graves. Before the Wickam family could intervene, they have already fallen.”
Elisa grinned and shook his head, saying, “Dad, you don’t know, the person who wants to divorce Gareth has never been me. So, these things don’t matter anymore. He is the one who can draught this divorce agreement, even if I were to object to it.”
Her heart was absolute and accepted this fact. Elisa would not accept any more forms of persuasion.
With a forlorn sigh, Mr. Wickam remarked, “I understand. You may not wish to believe me, but as long as you keep this conversation to heart, you will see the truth in it soon.”
“Thank you, Dad, for that thought.” Elisa said with a smile.
Jerry Wickam sighed again, knowing she didn’t buy it. “I just traveled abroad, so I didn’t learn about your divorce until now. Are you willing to give him a chance if he discovers he really likes you and is ready to get back together with you?”
Elisa simply smiled in amusement. “Dad, you still don’t have to worry; he doesn’t love me.”
“What if he really cares about you underneath all that?”
Mr. Wickam was determined and had a resolute expression.
Elisa was taken aback by his determination and smiled bitterly. “Dad, I can’t keep making excuses for him for what happened in those three years. I’m tired, and my love for him is gone.”
Elisa was equally resolute. She may be less vocal about it, but there were no doubts in her mind.
Mr. Wickam shook his head. He replied, “Yeah, he deserves it.”
Elisa looked at Mr. Wickam with surprise. The father-in-law had a gentle personality and rarely interfered with his children’s affairs. But this time, he made the effort to talk to her, which amused Elisa. Maybe her father-in-law took pity on her.
She was considering leaving when suddenly two people walked downstairs and turned to face them.
