Chapter 439
It triggered a wave of emotions in Gareth’s heart.
His frustration also grew in intensity. He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress them.
However, it was not as easy as he thought. For the whole afternoon, he remained unfocused even as he
dealt with work.
Bam!
Gareth slammed his fist on the table.
The meeting room fell into pin-drop silence.
The person presenting a report turned pale with fear. His hands shook, and the document he was
holding dropped onto the table with a loud splat
The noise pulled Gareth back to his senses. He realized he was in the midst of a meeting.
The person presenting the report was on the verge of tears.
His legs shook so much that he could barely stand. Furthermore, the chilling atmosphere in the room

made him dizzy.
Gareth frowned and said coldly, “Continue.”
The person trembled. He wants me to continue?
Isn’t he dissatisfied with my report?
His face turned pale with fright, and he stuttered, “I… I’m done.”
Gareth furrowed his brow and considered for a moment before saying, “Please repeat it one more time.”
The person presenting the report was rendered speechless.
Is this hell? Can someone please save me?
The others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and were thankful that they were not in his position. Thomas
looked at Gareth and knew what was going on with him. He paused for a moment and said to the man
giving the report, “You just have to repeat it one more time based on what you said before.”
What Thomas meant was Mr. Wickam was preoccupied with something else, and it was not the staff’s
fault. Gareth pursed his lips and remained silent. He looked intimidating.

His chilling aura spread throughout the meeting room. Many people instinctively tightened their collars.
Why is the office suddenly so cold? It’s not winter.
Everyone wore half-sleeved shirts. They were so cold that goosebumps formed on their arms.
Today was similar to the other day when Gareth was in a bad mood.
He shot down many of their proposals. The company air seemed to linger with the smell of a smoking
gun and looked like the aftermath of a war.
Many of the staff had no choice but to ‘volunteer’ to work overtime. It was because Gareth had
announced that anyone whose proposal was rejected had to prepare another one to Gareth’s
satisfaction within three days.
A few of them were on the verge of tears from the stress.

At this moment, an IT guy sat before his computer and typed a bunch of codes non-stop. At the same
time, he could not resist cursing Gareth.
Mr. Wickam deserves to be single! Ms. Benett is right to divorce him! People like him should remain
single forever!
Meanwhile, in Benett Residence, Linda and her mother sat on the couch and chatted.
Rose looked at her daughter kindly and could not resist praising, “My daughter is beautiful. Once it is
your wedding, you shall be the most beautiful bride in the world.”
Linda smiled, but she suddenly looked at her mother with a worried expression.
“I keep feeling that something is wrong.”
Rose looked at her. “Are you still worried that Gareth likes Elisa?”
Linda frowned. “Recently, i don’t dare to bother him, but he never calls me even once. Now, I don’t dare
to hope that he loves me. I just wish that he is willing to marry me. However, I feel his patience for me
has reduced considerably. If this goes on, I…”
Linda could not bring herself to continue and did not know what to say. Rose held her hand and looked at
her firmly, “You must stay calm.”
However, Linda’s phone rang as soon as Rose finished speaking.
