Chapter 1376 Bull-Headed
Knowing that Gareth was present yet daring to dance with his date had already proven everything.
But...
Elisa could still speak so boldly!
Was it because she felt protected by Gareth?
Even those who knew some things about Elisa thought that she had gone a bit crazy.
Although she had many disguises, they were ultimately ineffective.
The Benett Corporation was nothing compared to powerful conglomerates. It could be easily crushed.
Yet she dared to speak so boldly.
Was it because Gareth was supporting her?
But they divorced, and was there any indication of them reconciling?
Everyone had resumed watching the spectacle, eagerly anticipating the outcome of this clash between
giants.

However...
Now everything seemed apparent.
After all, Elisa was unwilling, so their confrontation was pointless...
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone looked at Gareth again.
Elisa's words were quite bold.
Everyone speculated. How will Gareth handle this?
Would he get angry or gracefully back down?
After all, one can't just directly snatch someone away.
Gareth still had his arm around Elisa's waist and showed no intention of letting go. Would Eden have to
push Gareth away and pull Elisa towards him?
That would be a bit...
Everyone kept looking back and forth, excitement evident in their eyes.

The petty squabbles over girlfriends were uninteresting compared to the intense standoff between
Gareth and the masked man.
At this moment, some people even wanted to provide commentary, but they didn't dare.

He still held the microphone and said it before everyone, showing no signs of embarrassment from
Elisa's rejection. The profound meaning in his gaze even made people unconsciously speculate.
Just a moment ago, he was calling her Miss Elisa, but now he directly used the affectionate nickname
'Liz.'
Even Elisa could feel the murderous intent emanating from Gareth beside her.
She even wondered why Gareth's reaction was so intense. Was it just his wounded pride?
She pursed her lips, remaining silent. Deep down, there was a hint of unease, but she quickly
suppressed it. Before their divorce, she yearned for Gareth to fall in love with her daily. After the

divorce, she never believed that Gareth would have any feelings for her.
She knew she didn't deserve it.
She also knew that Gareth never believed in her.
Putting her thoughts aside, Elisa said calmly, "I'm sure."
Eden chuckled softly, "Very well."
With just these two words, it was hard to discern any emotions—instead, these two words were said in
a highly straightforward manner, leaving people feeling particularly skeptical.
Everyone thought that there might be some turmoil at the banquet next.
But... reality proved otherwise.
Instead, it left people filled with doubt.
Why does it feel like the thunder is loud, but the rain is sparse? Did this man retreat like that?
Elisa furrowed her brow as she looked at the person in front of her with vigilance. Then, Eden smiled
lightly and said, "After the banquet, we can only discuss matters privately."
With that, he no longer lingered and turned to leave directly.
He left decisively, without any nostalgia, and didn't seem to have much interest in Elisa.
But...
