Chapter 1372 No One Would Be Happy Forever
Only when Elisa mentioned it did Thomas understand Gareth's discomfort was due to the alcohol.
He was frustrated because Elisa put it outright, but he could never express his emotions to Elisa in the
form of speech. In fact, he didn't understand the source of his frustration.
"No one would be happy forever." Elisa's face darkened, and she retorted to Gareth.
Gareth did not answer, while Thomas agreed with Elisa's remark. No one would be happy forever.
After inserting some needles in Gareth's skin, Elisa checked the medicine. When it was ready, Elisa
served Gareth the medicine. "Go to bed after taking this. Thomas, keep an eye on him. Call me if
there's anything."
"Yes, Ms. Elisa." Thomas answered readily.

Only Gareth and Thomas were left in the living room after Elisa left.
Thomas didn't dare to look at Gareth, knowing that Gareth intended for Elisa to stay.
"Mr. Wickam, would you like to…" Thomas spoke up hesitantly with a troubled look, worried about
being reprimanded if he spoke the wrong words.
Before he could finish his sentence, his phone rang – it was a call from KKCD Casino to inform him the
event was brought forward a day, which meant that the event would happen at 9 p.m. the next day.
When Thomas informed Gareth about the change of schedule, Gareth showed no expression, with his
eyes remaining piercing.
He didn't care about these details at all.

The next day, Elisa woke up to see a few men and women waiting in the living room. The pale purple
dress and jewelry set on the tea table immediately caught her eye.
When she saw Thomas walking into the room, she asked, "What is this for?"
"KKCD Casino brought the event forward."
Only then did Elisa understand what was going on.
She changed into the dress and sat cooperatively in front of the mirror for the stylists to doll her up.
It was crowded in the casino. Unlike the auction day, where every guest was assigned a dedicated
seat, the guests who arrived early socialized around. Some found a seat for themselves too. Generally,
all the guests had extraordinary identities and were dressed delicately.
Elisa gave Gareth a look. They spotted a seat just now. Within a minute after they sat down, a man
dressed in a light purple suit approached Elisa. He was wearing a purple masquerade mask, but Elisa
could recognize him instantly – it was Eden.

Thomas freaked out. Sure enough, he glanced at Gareth and noticed his expression soured.
Oh no! This is not good! Eden sure is a bold player!
On the other hand, Eden was fearless. He stared at Elisa and said, "It has been a while, Ms. Benett.
May I invite you to a dance?" His smile was captivating, yet one could sense danger from his deep-set
eyes.
Elisa's face darkened, knowing that their matching clothes were no coincidence. Eden was monitoring
her at all times!
Seeing the man's despicable smirk, she responded coldly, "Sorry, but I'm not interested."
Then, Elisa turned away and ignored him.
Gareth's expression softened slightly as he looked at Elisa and said, "Come over."
