NovelEnglishChapter 1655 Matching Melinda’s Characteristics For Aaron to say such words, Gareth reckoned the Fawler family must be somewhat related to the incident. As long as he could seize Aaron, his suspicion could be proven soon.
After his men took Aaron away, Gareth returned to the banquet but saw no sign of Elisa and Linda at their original place. He called Elisa with a darkened face.

"Ugh! How annoying!" Elisa grunted and took out her phone.
"Ms. Garner, can | call you Melinda from now on? Please call me Elisa. We're friends now, so it feels strange to address each other by the last name." Seeing Linda nod, Elisa continued, "Can you help me answer the phone? Just tell him I'm occupied and can't talk right now." Then, she passed her phone to Linda.
When Linda saw the series of numbers, she could immediately recognize it was Gareth's number, although it was not saved in Eisa's contact book.
What's her intention in asking me to pick up Gareth's call? "I don't think it's appropriate..." Linda waved her hands and appeared to be in a quandary. At the same time, she carefully observed Elisa's expression.
Elisa focused on her makeup and replied casually, "Not at all. The call is from Gareth. After our divorce, we became entangled due to some interests. He's really annoying! Please help me answer the call and tell him I'm not available." Linda was deeply in love with Gareth, so Elisa was certain that Gareth's call would stir up a storm in her. However, Linda remained vigilant and was suspicious of Elisa's motives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe and Elisa had just become friends, yet Elisa asked her to answer the call on her behalf. In Linda's impression, Elisa wouldn't trust others easily! So, she rejected Elisa's request. "Elisa, | don't think | should answer the call. Mr. Wickam might be suspicious if I claim that you're not available. After all, we have just met each other.” Sure enough, Linda was vigilant as always, which didn't fit the innocent image of ‘Melinda’.
Elisa thought about it and said, "He might be suspicious if anyone else picked up the call. But you're the precious daughter of the Garner family and have no reason to harm me. | really don't want to answer his call. Melinda, please tell him that I'm unwell and went to the washroom and that I'll go home soon, okay?" Elisa pretended to be extremely reluctant to pick up the call. She even pleaded with Linda in a pitiful manner.
Linda recalled what Elisa told her just now when she perceived her attitude. Now that they were ‘friends’, Elisa might think she was petty if she kept rejecting her request.
"Okay then, I'll answer it." Linda pretended to compromise for the sake of Elisa.
"Elisa?" Gareth's deep voice that was tinged with concern came forth the moment Linda answered the call. Linda glanced at Elisa before saying, "Hi, Mr. Wickam, Elisa is in the washroom now. | can help pass your message to her." Her soft, gentle voice matched the characteristics of ‘Melinda’.
Nonetheless, both Gareth and Elisa knew that she was not Melinda but Linda! Elisa smirked when Linda spoke in a soft voice, while Gareth frowned when he heard Linda's voice.
