Chapter 1662 Sincere Apologies Required
"Are you a mind reader, Mr. Lang? You seem to know exactly what I'm thinking," a voice cut through
the tension, catching the attention of the three men.
They turned their heads to find Gareth approaching, his black suit accentuating his imposing figure and
exuding an air of confidence and authority.
The sight of Gareth made the business partners feel a sense of unease.
And Mr. Lang, in particular, scrambled to explain himself in front of Gareth, his words becoming
jumbled and disjointed under the weight of Gareth's intense gaze, "Mr. Wickam, please don't mistake
my meaning. I...I..."
Elisa didn't want to rely on Gareth's presence to manipulate the situation.
Even without Gareth, she wasn't intimidated by these three business partners.
While they failed to detect any signs of Gareth's weakened health, Elisa could sense a slight quiver in
his voice. He was still recovering!
What was wrong with him? Hadn't the poisoning incident from the previous night been enough? Why

did he have to come and interfere in her affairs instead of resting at home?
Did he think she was incapable and needed his help? Or did he believe she couldn't handle these three
small-timers alone?
Gareth, standing nearby, sneered coldly, "Well, if that's not what you meant, then what did you mean? I
have the right to support whoever I want and marry whomever I choose. Last I checked, Mr. Lang isn't
one of the Wickams, so…?"
He subtly conveyed that they should mind their own business and that he couldn't be bothered by their
opinion.

Mr. Lang mustered an awkward smile as he apologized, "Mr. Wickam, I'm sorry for the confusion that
arose during our conversation with Mrs. Wickam. I admit I spoke impulsively and may have said some
unpleasant things..."
"Should I slap you for being impulsive and disrespecting my wife? And shouldn't your apology be

directed towards my wife instead of me?" Gareth coldly interjected, cutting off Mr. Lang's sentence.
Gareth's words of question sent a chill down Mr. Lang's spine.
He asked Mr. Lang to slap himself for speaking impulsively and disrespecting Elisa. It was a trap for Mr.
Lang to go along with his words! And if he didn't do as Gareth said, it would mean offending him!
But if Mr. Lang followed Gareth's lead and apologized to Elisa in front of the other two CEO's, it would
mean compromising his dignity and becoming a subject of mockery in the industry.
Elisa stood silently, observing the unfolding situation. She knew Gareth was lending his support, so she
went with the flow.
After all, these three men had brought this upon themselves.
"Hold on a second! Weren't those your own words? If you're going to apologize, then do it sincerely.
And both of you should also apologize to my wife!" Gareth fired back at Mr. Lang, addressing the other
two business partners.
After the Garner family banquet yesterday, Gareth had expected these individuals to cooperate with the
Benett Corporation as a gesture of respect towards him, thereby assisting Elisa in establishing her role

and influence within the Benett family.
However, it appeared that Gareth's anticipation didn't materialize as expected but added more pressure
on Elisa.
This outcome was not what Gareth had envisioned, but now that it had occurred, he felt a sense of duty
to assist Elisa in resolving the situation and allowing her to vent her frustrations!
The three men exchanged uneasy glances, realizing the consequences of their actions.
Their ingrained male chauvinism made them undermine Elisa.
The three men were reluctant to apologize, but Gareth's words hung over them. If they didn't say sorry
to Elisa as Gareth told them, would it harm their reputation in Bayswe?
Their expressions turned sour as they exchanged glances.
"Mrs. Wickam, we're sorry for what we said earlier. We were being total sexist morons. We hope you
can forgive us."
As they spoke, they reluctantly slapped themselves in the face. It might not be the most genuine
apology, but seeing them do that relieved and satisfied Elisa.
