NO CHANCE OF REMARRIAGE GET LOST - Season 1 Episode 54

He placed his hands at the sides of her body, with one of them holding her wrist.

At this moment, they were so close to each other that they could even feel their breaths.

Elisa’s expression changed immediately as she tried to resist him. With the difference in strength between men and women in mind, the outcome did not surprise either party.

Gritting her teeth, Elisa demanded furiously, “What do you want, Gareth? What do you and your family want from me?”

“What do we want?” he replied in a silky and dangerous voice as he continued to stare at her fixedly with a strong intention to choke her to death in the next second.

“No matter what we do, we are nowhere as ruthless as you! How dare you ask for a divorce at the dinner party?”

Elisa snorted out a laugh before lifting her head to look at him. However, because of their close distance, she accidentally kissed the tip of his nose, sending a jolt to both of them.

She quickly turned her head around so that she would not be too close to him.

Then, she took a deep breath to stabilize herself. “Gareth, I remember you used to hate getting close to me. Now that we are about to divorce, did your love for me rekindle?”

Thud!

He threw her to the ground before wiping his nose in disgust.

“What? I would rather fall in love with a dog than with you!”

Sharp pain stabbed through Elisa’s entire body, but that was what kept her mind clear.

Before this, she was thinking about holding back on Gareth even when she helped Will in the court case. Initially, she only planned to make Gareth return the project to Will.

But now… heh! Not only do I want Gareth to give the project back, I want him to pay some compensation! Since he’s rich and stupid, he doesn’t need money anyway!

Withstanding the sharp pain, she got up with a peaceful expression on her face. “I’m relieved to hear that. Otherwise, I’m worried that I might be dealing with what you hated the most in the past.”

Gareth was silent at that moment; not understanding what she meant.

Nevertheless, she explained patiently, “In the past, I always stuck close to you. Even though I didn’t know how it felt, I’m sure it’s quite annoying. Hence, I’m sure you know that you shouldn’t pass that irksome feeling along to others.”

Gareth was so furious that he laughed out loud. “Do you think I’ll stick around you as if I’m in love with you?”

Elisa shook her head. “Not at all. It was just a misunderstanding on my end. Mr. Wickam, this is the time you set – let’s meet at 9 AM tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring all the relevant documents.”

She turned around to leave, but he suddenly said, “If you are willing to apologize in public, I can give you ten percent of the profit from this project.”

“Ten percent?” Elisa stopped in surprise. Yet, she smiled when she saw the disgust in his eyes when he thought of her as materialistic. “I find your money dirty. Even if you gave me all your assets, I wouldn’t want any of them. Mr. Wickam, if you don’t want to be the laughing stock of the entire city, remember to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow.”

With that, she immediately left him, not wanting to listen to another word from him.

Gareth stood at the same spot and stared at her back until she completely disappeared from his sight.

When Monica saw that it was taking them quite a while, she went to look for them worriedly. When she saw that he was alone, her expression changed slightly. “Where is that woman?”

He pursed his lips without replying to her.

A foreboding premonition washed over her as she asked, “Is she really determined to have a divorce?”

Gareth still remained silent, but it was a silent acquiescence.

Monica’s face immediately darkened. “What a move! Is she taking revenge on us, to announce a divorce at this stage?”
