Elisa had no intention to speak further, for she had already expressed herself clearly.
Gareth's frown deepened. He looked at her intently and asked, "Why should I trust you?"
Everyone, including Georgiana, was shocked and delighted to hear that.
It proved that Gareth also had suspicions about Elisa. It might be difficult for Elisa to remain in the
company – it was good news to them.
Georgiana's mood became better, and she became more confident.
She let out a snort in Elisa's direction. "Ms. Benett, you should explain right now. I'm afraid the results
might not be in your favor if you keep your virtuous act."

Elisa's gaze fell on Gareth, who seemed to have resolved that he would call off their collaboration if she
didn't explain herself.
She smiled upon seeing that.
Not wanting to quarrel with him, she calmly declared, "I don't care how wealthy the Wickam Group is."
Everyone snorted internally, not believing a word she said.
She really is riding the high horse now. Doesn't she care how wealthy the Wickam Group is? We can't
even imagine the numbers. Until now, no one knows how much money Mr. Wickam owns. Yet, she
doesn't care about it. Hah, I don't believe her!
She explained, "If I truly wanted your money, would I agree to divorce without taking a single cent from
you?"
Everyone listened in stunned silence.
Not a single cent? It must be true because Mr. Wickam is also here. We can also look it up online. Is
that true?
They looked at her in disbelief.
"If I wanted to, I could get half of your assets."
The stunned looks turned conflicted.
No one doubted her anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a divorce, the shared assets of the couple would be equally split unless a prenuptial agreement is
signed.
Judging from Elisa's remarks, they didn't do that.
Half of Gareth's assets would be an unimaginable number. If Elisa didn't even care about that, she had
no reason to work with Will to get the confidential information of Wickam Group.
Even if Elisa could get a lot of money from that, it would be nothing compared to Gareth's assets.
All of a sudden, everyone was at a loss for words.
Gareth's mellowed gaze grew sharper.
When he heard Elisa's explanation, he felt it was not only money; she didn't care about him.
