Chapter 140 No Turning Back
Until the end of the video, Elisa remained calm and cool. Meanwhile, Gareth’s face was extremely
darkened.
Vincent was amused. “Bro, come clean with me. Are you in love with Elisa?”
Gareth was stunned. I’m in love with Elisa?
The next second, he snorted. “That’s impossible!”
This woman is reckless and stubborn. Not only did she bring shame to the Wickam family, but she also
opposes me all the time. How would I possibly fall for her?
No, this is impossible!
Vincent stared at Gareth speechlessly. Nevertheless, it was obvious from his expression that he
assumed Gareth had fallen for Elisa although the latter was proud and refused to admit it.

Gareth remained silent while Vincent lifted his brows and continued, “What about Linda then? Are you
going to marry her? Now, Elisa has deemed Linda an enemy, so are you still going to marry her? If you
did, the consequence might be dire because the public might criticize Linda for being a home-wrecker.”
The outsiders were not aware of the details, so they naturally wouldn’t know what was actually going on,
but Vincent was a close friend of Gareth, so he knew the real situation.
Looking cold, Gareth blurted, “I don’t plan to marry her for now.”
“But didn’t you already agree to marry her?”
Gareth knitted his brows and did not respond. The next second, he threw his pen on the table in
frustration.
Vincent smirked. “It seems like you’re the real casanova.”
Gareth shot a cold glance at Vincent. Perceiving the latter’s cheeky look, he knew Vincent was going to
continue, so he immediately said, “Get lost on your own or I’ll escort you out.”
Escort? That means he’s going to kick me out!

Vincent’s face darkened at once because Gareth had kicked him out before.
“Damn! I came to inform you of the latest news because we’re close friends. Not only did you not receive
me well, but you even want to kick me out. How can you be this rude?”
At that moment, Gareth had already grabbed Vincent’s arm.
“Hey! Hey! Stop it! I’ll leave now. Take your hand off me!” Vincent yelped.
Gareth let go of Vincent. After taking his phone, Vincent snorted and left while mumbling to himself.
With that, Gareth was left alone in the study room. He was not in the mood to work anymore in such a
quiet and lonely environment. Instead, he took up his phone, clicked into Twitter, and played the
interview clip again.
…
Time flies. Soon, it was the day for Old Madam Wickam’s birthday banquet.

All the guests came well prepared as they wanted to grasp this opportunity to strike up a relationship with
the Wickam family.
As long as they pleased Old Madam Wickam, there would be a chance for their business to prosper.
Hence, many businessmen wished to transform this opportunity into a turn of fate.
Elisa stood at the entrance with a gift in her hand.
Standing beside her, Rachel gazed at Elisa’s nervous and troubled look. She knew Elisa was disturbed
by Linda’s gift.
“No matter what, we’ve come far. Elisa, there’s no reason for you to retreat!” Rachel stared at Elisa firmly
and held her hand.
There was a glow in Elisa’s eyes. She inhaled and nodded at Rachel as if she was giving herself
affirmation. “Mm-hmm!”
Smiling at Elisa, Rachel said nothing else and led her into the venue while holding her hand.
The usher at the entrance was surprised upon seeing Elisa. Nevertheless, he was well-educated, so he
did not make any comments. After verifying the invitation card, he said courteously, “Miss Benett, Miss
Markee, this way please.”
