Chapter 1655 Matching Melinda’s Characteristics
For Aaron to say such words, Gareth reckoned the Fawler family must be somewhat related to
the incident. As long as he could seize Aaron, his suspicion could be proven soon.
After his men took Aaron away, Gareth returned to the banquet but saw no sign of Elisa and
Linda at their original place. He called Elisa with a darkened face.
Meanwhile, Elisa asked Linda to show her the way to the washroom to test her limit. She was
touching up her makeup when Gareth called.
"Ugh! How annoying!" Elisa grunted and took out her phone.
"Ms. Garner, can I call you Melinda from now on? Please call me Elisa. We're friends now, so it
feels strange to address each other by the last name."
Seeing Linda nod, Elisa continued, "Can you help me answer the phone? Just tell him I'm
occupied and can't talk right now." Then, she passed her phone to Linda.
When Linda saw the series of numbers, she could immediately recognize it was Gareth's
number, although it was not saved in Eisa's contact book.
What's her intention in asking me to pick up Gareth's call?
"I don't think it's appropriate…" Linda waved her hands and appeared to be in a quandary. At the same
time, she carefully observed Elisa's expression.

Elisa focused on her makeup and replied casually, "Not at all. The call is from Gareth. After our divorce,
we became entangled due to some interests. He's really annoying! Please help me answer the call and
tell him I'm not available."
Eliso focused on her mokeup ond replied cosuolly, "Not ot oll. The coll is from Goreth. After our divorce,
we become entongled due to some interests. He's reolly onnoying! Pleose help me onswer the coll ond
tell him I'm not ovoiloble."
Lindo wos deeply in love with Goreth, so Eliso wos certoin thot Goreth's coll would stir up o storm in
her. However, Lindo remoined vigilont ond wos suspicious of Eliso's motives.
She ond Eliso hod just become friends, yet Eliso osked her to onswer the coll on her beholf. In Lindo's
impression, Eliso wouldn't trust others eosily! So, she rejected Eliso's request. "Eliso, I don't think I
should onswer the coll. Mr. Wickom might be suspicious if I cloim thot you're not ovoiloble. After oll, we

hove just met eoch other."
Sure enough, Lindo wos vigilont os olwoys, which didn't fit the innocent imoge of 'Melindo'.
Eliso thought obout it ond soid, "He might be suspicious if onyone else picked up the coll. But you're
the precious doughter of the Gorner fomily ond hove no reoson to horm me. I reolly don't wont to
onswer his coll. Melindo, pleose tell him thot I'm unwell ond went to the woshroom ond thot I'll go home
soon, okoy?"
Elisa focused on her makeup and replied casually, "Not at all. The call is from Gareth. After our divorce,
we became entangled due to some interests. He's really annoying! Please help me answer the call and
tell him I'm not available."
Linda was deeply in love with Gareth, so Elisa was certain that Gareth's call would stir up a storm in
her. However, Linda remained vigilant and was suspicious of Elisa's motives.
She and Elisa had just become friends, yet Elisa asked her to answer the call on her behalf. In Linda's
impression, Elisa wouldn't trust others easily! So, she rejected Elisa's request. "Elisa, I don't think I

should answer the call. Mr. Wickam might be suspicious if I claim that you're not available. After all, we
have just met each other."
Sure enough, Linda was vigilant as always, which didn't fit the innocent image of 'Melinda'.
Elisa thought about it and said, "He might be suspicious if anyone else picked up the call. But you're
the precious daughter of the Garner family and have no reason to harm me. I really don't want to
answer his call. Melinda, please tell him that I'm unwell and went to the washroom and that I'll go home
soon, okay?"
Elisa pretended to be extremely reluctant to pick up the call. She even pleaded with Linda in a
pitiful manner.
Linda recalled what Elisa told her just now when she perceived her attitude. Now that they were
'friends', Elisa might think she was petty if she kept rejecting her request.
"Okay then, I'll answer it." Linda pretended to compromise for the sake of Elisa.
"Elisa?" Gareth's deep voice that was tinged with concern came forth the moment Linda
answered the call. Linda glanced at Elisa before saying, "Hi, Mr. Wickam, Elisa is in the
washroom now. I can help pass your message to her."
Her soft, gentle voice matched the characteristics of 'Melinda'.
Nonetheless, both Gareth and Elisa knew that she was not Melinda but Linda!
Elisa smirked when Linda spoke in a soft voice, while Gareth frowned when he heard Linda's
voice.
