Chapter 137 Gotten Ahead
What Elisa said next etched deep in everyone’s mind.
She heaved a sigh and said, “But Linda’s attitude was unwavering. She claimed that no matter what, she
couldn’t be the source of discord between the two of us. She rather stays single forever and would never
marry Mr. Wickam. She said she didn’t want to play the bad guy and make others think that she’s a
mistress who eventually achieved her motive.”
Linda freaked out at Elisa’s remark.
“Oh my gosh! Miss Linda is indeed a shrewd woman. She knows by marrying Mr. Wickam, not only will
she hurt her cousin, but the public will also deem her an outrageous woman.”
“Exactly. I’m very impressed by Miss Linda’s generosity. I might not be as big-hearted as her if I were in
her position. In fact, she made the right decision to not marry Mr. Wickam because if she did, the others

would despise her. After all, Mr. Wickam has been taking care of her when she was unconscious, and he
often brings her out even before his divorce. If she really married Mr. Wickam, she would truly be a
home-wrecker.”
“Miss Linda would become notorious for being a home-wrecker if that happens. Of course she wouldn’t
do so.”
Rachel was greatly entertained by the comments from the reporters.
Standing behind Elisa, Ben, who was a bundle of nerves a moment ago, heaved a sigh of relief at that
moment. Maybe she’s the one who invited the reporters herself. Otherwise, it’s unlikely to be a
coincidence.
Nevertheless, Ben was delighted because he was standing behind Elisa, so the cameras surely had
captured him.
If the bosses knew that he had a good relationship with Iris, they would curry-favor with him.
Elisa nodded with a smile. “Linda is my inspiration. I’m grateful to have a cousin like her, and I’m proud of

her.”
After saying that, she looked at her phone which had been vibrating for a while. A smile tugged at her
lips and uttered, “Look, my family is calling me again. I shall take my leave first.”
She waved her phone before leaving, but none of the crowd could see the caller ID on the phone.
The reporters sensibly made way for Elisa. They had gathered enough materials from today’s interview.
Truth be told, they didn’t dare to ask burning questions because they were afraid of being sued by Elisa.
The careers that they had built over the years could potentially be ruined.
Rachel nearly laughed out loud as she followed behind Elisa. After getting into the car with Elisa, she
burst into laughter uncontrollably.
“You’re brilliant, Elisa!”
Elisa arched her brows and turned to look at Rachel. “Didn’t you drive today?”

“Nope. I took a cab here. I’ll stay over at your place tonight.”
Elisa didn’t respond and started the car engine.
Seeing that Elisa’s phone was still ringing, Rachel laughed. “Honey, are you not going to pick up the
call?”
Elisa smirked. “Why should I? It’ll infuriate her more if I don’t.”
“That’s not true. You should answer the call and act innocent. That’ll definitely drive her up the wall!”
Smiling, Elisa switched her phone to silent mode and drove home.
Elisa’s interview just now had created a sensation, and once again, she became a trending topic on
Twitter.
The celebrities who came to the scene failed to ride the wave because the reporters had gotten ahead of
them.
They were exasperated because even Elisa’s friend and Ben had become topics of discussion, yet they
missed the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Linda, who failed to reach Elisa, threw her phone onto the floor furiously.
