Chapter 348 Ms. Iris
However, before she could take a step, Gareth suddenly grabbed her arm. By the time she realized what
was happening, he had already placed her hand on his arm.
Furthermore, no one noticed anything strange.
Everyone thought Gareth and Elisa were close as usual. They assumed Gareth was the one who offered
his arm, and Elisa placed her hand on it of her own volition.
Elisa wanted to pull her hand away, but Gareth held on tightly, refusing her any chance to struggle.
She turned to Gareth. Although she was smiling, Gareth could almost hear her teeth grinding. “Gareth,
what do you want?”
Gareth smirked slightly. It seemed he was mocking her.
At the same time, it also seemed like he was in a good mood.
He looked at Elisa and gave a rare calm response. “We are attending a banquet.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa was rendered speechless.
Scoundrel!
She took a deep breath and tried her best to control her emotions.
Since it had come to this, it was pointless for her to pull away. Furthermore, Gareth was constantly on
guard against her.
Meanwhile, Thomas remained in the driver’s seat and did not get out of the car
As usual, he did not open the car door for Gareth.
There were a couple of reasons why he remained in the car.
Firstly, although Gareth was Thomas’s employer, they had a brotherly relationship. Thus, Thomas did not
have to keep acting courteously like others. Gareth also disliked him behaving that way.
Secondly, Thomas did not know whether Gareth would like to sit in front or at the back. Thus, he did not
move and let Gareth open the door on his own.
There was actually another reason why he did not get out of the car.
Since Elisa and Gareth had paired up, why would he need to get out to open the door for them?
Thus, Gareth and Elisa entered the banquet together.
Their expressions were calm, and they seemed to ‘get along’. It was just like how they were in their three
years of marriage. They always appeared comfortable with each other whenever they attended a
banquet.
The sarcasm in Elisa’s eyes grew the longer they continued with the pretense.
Never did she expect to be so entangled with him after their divorce. It was unfortunate that Gareth was
holding onto her weakness.
She wanted to get Benett Corporation back, so she could not afford any mistakes. If Gareth acted
against her, it would endanger her plans.
Thus, Elisa breathed in softly and controlled her emotions.
As they were about to enter the banquet hall, the other guests glanced toward them.
Ms. Tabor of Tabor Group was laughing with a few guests a moment ago. Her smile immediately

Elisa’s evening gown was bright as flame and mesmerized everyone in the banquet hall.
Previously, many people were focusing on Ms. Tabor. But now, they all turned Elisa. They could not look
away from her. Their eyes were full of desire.
Gareth’s expression darkened instantly.
He had already started to regret his choice in the car.
Now, he regretted it even more.
Someone noticed Gareth and came over with a wine glass.
This man had been active in the business circle for more than twenty years. Although he was quite
influential, he still paled in comparison to Gareth. Furthermore, his company needed more projects
recently so he needed to get on Wickam Group’s good side.
He was in his early forties and had a mature charm about him that mesmerized many young ladies.
At this moment, he came to Gareth with a courteous smile.
“Mr. Wickam, I didn’t expect to see you here.” After saying that, he turned to Elisa and said politely,
“Good evening, Ms. Iris.”
