Chapter 22 Dumb Old Fart! Always Up to No Good! “Sorry, the number you have called is not available…”
Julia hung up in anger. However… She could hear Darren speaking to someone from somewhere in
the house.
Julia walked to the door and listened curiously.
“You’ve done well. Now that it’s come to this, you should divorce. Have you received the certificate
yet?”
Julia’s face twisted in anger!!
This dumb old fart! He’s always up to no good!
How could he hate Elisa! They will regret it! Mark my words!
She will make sure that when Elisa remarries, it will be the event of the year! They will turn green with
envy and regret!!
She now understood what she did wrong. She shouldn’t have forced them to stay married for so many
years!
It must have been torture for Elisa. She should have given in sooner…
The more she thought about it, the more upset Julia felt. Now… She was trying to decide what kind of
man would suit her perfect granddaughter!

announce that Linda saved you and clarify what happened between you and Elisa.”
“Have you ever needed to worry about how I handle things? Would I do this if it were harmful to the
company?”
Julia was shocked!!
She was furious!!
Forget about it! She wasn’t going to go in and argue with him. She did not care what that dumb old fart
thought. More importantly, Gareth no longer wanted Elisa. And she would make sure that Elisa had the
happy ever after she deserved!!
From today onwards, she would screen through all the eligible bachelors to find the one most suited for
Elisa!
…
That night, Elisa slept fairly well.
She had given it some thought and decided not to stay in the villa. She found a gated community near
her workplace.
The next day, Elisa had her breakfast and went back to bed. Those years she spent with the Wickams
were wrought with fear. She did not have a moment’s peace. It was the first time she had slept this well
in a long time.
Her phone rang as she stretched. She raised an eyebrow when she saw who was calling her.
It was a good lawyer friend of hers who had an outgoing personality and was always up for some fun.
She answered the phone, before she could say a word, her friend started to speak, “Elisa! Emergency!
Come save me!”
Elisa’s mouth twitched, “What did you do this time?”
“I didn’t do anything!”
“What’s happened then?” She asked curiously.
“That son of a b*tch! I’m so mad! I clearly won! But he says that I cheated and now he wants my car!”
“You’re drag racing again?” Elisa frowned.
She knew how dangerous that was and yet she kept doing it!
Her friend could tell how annoyed Elisa was, but now that things have come to this, she had no other
choice but to beg her, “Elisa! I’ll do anything you want! My sweetie cupcake, you can’t just watch them
take advantage of me like this, can you?! It’s an emergency!”
Elisa sighed, “Address.”
Her friend rejoiced, “Okay! I’m sending it to you right now! Elisa, I’ll be waiting for you! Show them
who’s boss!!”

Elisa got changed and immediately headed there.
Fifty minutes passed.
Elisa’s friend called her many times, but Elisa did not pick up. She finally let out a sigh of relief when
she saw Elisa walking toward her. She ran over and grabbed her hand, “My savior! You’re finally here!!”
Rachel Markee was wearing denim overalls, but she looked clean and tidy. Her strawberry blonde curls
were just slightly past her ears. Her eyes were wide and bright as she stared excitedly at Elisa.
Elisa looked around and saw a large crowd of spectators. There looked to be several racers waiting for
their turn as well. She frowned slightly, “It’s working hours right now. What are you doing here racing
cars?”
Rachel pouted and lifted her hands helplessly, “I didn’t have any cases to work on today. You know my
company, we’re about to announce bankruptcy any day now… I’m currently on the hunt for a new job.”
Elisa, “…”
Elisa attracted attention even in a jeans and a t-shirt. She seemed to exude confidence and nobility
even just by standing there. Her sunglasses covered half of her face, making her seem slightly
mysterious. All eyes were on her.
She also caught the attention of Rachel’s opponent.
“Yo! Is this who you called to help you?” A voice full of mockery was heard.
