NO CHANCE OF REMARRIAGE GET LOST - Season 2 Episode 19

“What’s the matter?” Linda looked at her suspiciously.

“Word that Elisa isn’t Iris has already begun to spread, by yours truly. Which also means more people will start looking into her, and along with it, uncover a whole series of other things. I’m willing to bet that Gareth will be in on it too.”

There was a spark in Linda’s eyes for a moment, but it quickly vanished into a frown. “Are you sure this is safe?”

Rose nodded. “Trust me. No one will find out about this. Even on the off chance someone does, they won’t be able to pin it on us.” Seeing the frown on Elisa’s face, she reached out to smoothen her brows. “Think about it. If Gareth knew Elisa was just pretending to be Iris, he would think Elisa was deliberately trying to grab his attention. And that wouldn’t look good for Elisa.”

“I hope so.” Linda sighed.

“Don’t think too much of it.” Rose gave Linda a light pat on the shoulder. “Gareth could’ve just been in a bad mood since the meeting and inadvertently took that out on you.”

Another long, helpless sigh left Linda’s lips. “Now I can only count on Julia’s birthday to flop.”

“Yes. Are you ready for it?”

Linda nodded firmly. “I’ll make sure that Elisa Benett gets the disgrace she deserves.”

“Good.” Rose flashed her a grin. “It won’t be long before that day comes. In the meantime, try not to worry to much about it. If he ignores you in these few days, just let him be. We’ll wait for the arrival of

Old Madam Wickam’s birthday banquet and see if he has a change of heart then. From there, everything will run smoothly.”

“Roger that!” Linda exclaimed with an affirmative nod.

…

Meanwhile, Elisa, Rachel, and Sheena watched the new Helm family scandal that had spread like wildfire online together.

Sheena bounced excitedly in her seat. “Liz, Rach, I’m so grateful for you two. If it weren’t for y’all, I wouldn’t have been able to call off this wretched marriage!”

“No need to thank me.” Rachel laughed. “I was merely doing Hayden a favor. The last time we had a meal together, I could tell from the way he looked at me that he had needs. What a lecher!”

Elisa’s lip curled slightly as she looked through the photos on Twitter, all which Hayden’s face was clearly captured while Renee’s was shrouded in some way. Still, Renee’ melon-shaped visage wasn’t hard to make out through the blur— a stark contrast from Sheena’s rounded one. Besides, to prove her innocence, Sheena had deliberately posted pictures of her night out with friends at the time of the incident. That should be ample proof that the lady in the scandal photos were not her.

“Renee… she’s a clever one.” Sheena gasped suddenly, as if remembering something. “Both of you share the same last name… are all Benetts naturally shrewd like that?”

Elisa almost scoffed out loud. “Shrewd?”

If by ‘shrewd’, she meant ‘gullible’, then yeah totally. Both her and Renee were somehow ‘shrewd’ enough to fall for some guy who happened to also have other women in their lives. Renee with

Hayden, and her with Gareth. In some sense, Sheena was right to call them like-minded… After all, both were nothing but a side piece.

“That’s right, shrewdness is probably in the Benett genes.” Rachel giggled. “Alright! Now that Sheen’s problem is taken care of, why don’t we celebrate? Let’s call Carle over!”
