NovelEnglishElisa smiled at Linda. “I've never thought of getting back with Gareth. You can rest assure about that.” Rachel also let out a snort. “That's right, so you should focus on Gareth. Linda, could it be that you can’t keep up your pure and innocent image now that you have been exposed? Else, why would Mr. Wickam keep pestering Elisa?” Elisa was speechless upon hearing that. Clearly, Rachel is saying that just to spite Linda.

Of course, | will take the opportunity happily! Linda has done so much harm to Elisa, and now she even chere to wreak havoc at Elisa’s place. | can't sit still watching that happen! Linda clenched her fists tightly with reddened eyes. She was so overcby rage that she almost looked like a maniac.
She took another deep breath to keep herself in control.
“Elisa, just tellwhen you will leave Gareth for good. Are you really disillusioned by him?” Linda tried to appear meek but couldn’t help raising her voice toward the end.
“I already told you that | am not interested in him anymore,” Elisa replied with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If that's the case, why do you keep engaging with him? Since you don’t like him anymore, why did you let him get closer to you?” Elisa laughed softly as though they were talking about something amusing.
Rachel looked at her in confusion. How is Elisa so calm? She regarded Linda as her sister in the past. Shouldn't she be furious about how things turned out today? Linda and her family repaid her kindness with betrayal and hurt. God knows how many immoral things they have done! Yet, Elisa is still so composed! Alas, | can never have her composure.
Linda frowned. “What are you laughing about?” Elisa's smile widened. A moment later, she slowly explained, “There might be smisunderstandings in the past, but weren't you the cause of our grudges after that?” Linda's frown deepened. “What do you mean by that?” Elisa beamed. “I made a proposal back then. If your father had agreed, all these conflicts would never have happened. However, you guys were worried abouttaking the spotlight and affecting your status in the company; you blockedfrom appearing in public to stopfrom working with Darcey Group.” “That was because" Elisa raised a hand before continuing exasperatedly, “Stop giving the official excuse here, Linda. | am not recording our conversation here, and I'm not interested in letting the public know about this. | believe you didn’t cjust to record our conversation.” In an instant, Linda's face darkened, but she didn’t utter a word.
Rachel was curious about what Elisa would say next. She looked at Elisa as though she was a fan waiting for her celebrity crush to start speaking.
Indeed, Elisa did not disappoint Rachel. Her following words made Linda stomp her foot on the ground uncontrollably.
The corner of Elisa's lips twitched upward. “Then, Will disagreed with your proposal, leaving you with two options — to forfeit the collaboration or to use my proposal. You guys panicked; it was a huge project, after all. Surely you couldn't bring yourself to give it up! Hence, you sought Gareth and showed him the proposal. Though he read it, he still chose mine.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
