Chapter 859

Chapter 859 Furthermore, if she persuaded Grandma to let her go with Old Mr. Wickam to his study room, Grandma would still protect her.

Grandma might even get into an argument with Grandpa. If Elisa went up against Grandpa, it wouldn’t affect the relationship between Grandpa and Grandma when Grandpa took his anger out on Elisa.

Gareth’s mood seemed to have lifted. Elisa’s sharp tongue had always been directed at him in the past. He felt that there was finally someone to share his burden with now that Elisa had gone up against Grandpa.

Old Mr. Wickam gritted his teeth, but at the next moment, his gaze fell on Gareth. It was subtly displeased, as though he was saying to Gareth, ‘Is this the woman you picked? The woman you have to protect?’

Gareth looked back at Old Mr. Wickam, and his gaze seemed to say, ‘Isn’t this the woman you took a fancy to?’

Old Mr. Wickam was speechless.

In an instant, he turned away and didn’t want to utter a word.

Back then, Elisa was Nelson’s daughter and the earnest, wealthy young daughter of Benett Corporation. Wickam Group had to work with Benett Corporation, so that marriage of convenience was unavoidable.

If he had known that Nelson would die so soon, he would never have let Elisa join the Wickam family.

Gareth’s lips twitched, and he looked at Darren indifferently. “Ignore what happens to Elisa in the future. She’s my woman. I will protect her.”

Julia instantly looked at Gareth admiringly. Her eyes were filled with surprise!

Her grandson finally knew how to protect the person he liked!

Elisa’s brows immediately furrowed tightly. She looked at Gareth, but before she could say anything, Old Mr. Wickam cried out in his fury, “How shameful! The two of you have divorced, and she has many men by her side now. Who do you think you are? You had better hurry up and marry Nicole!”

Elisa suddenly didn’t say a word but resented what Gareth had said. After they divorced, she never said she wanted to be his woman.

She knew Gareth had his benefits at heart and thought she was suitable. She had made it known that she wouldn’t be with him.

She would’ve been unbelievably touched if he had said it when they were married. She might have even cried, but now... she thought it was funny. The man was so hypocritical that he would compromise himself just for profit.

Heh...

That’s right. It was a compromise for Gareth. Doesn’t he hate her?

It turned out that Gareth and Will were the same. They were the type of people to betray themselves for profit.

She was divorced, but Will said he didn’t care and continued to pursue her.

With Gareth, he had misjudged her and her father because he thought they were about to make a move against him. Gareth had revolted the three years they were married and even wanted her to perish. But now, he was willing to push his hatred aside for profit?

Heh...

She admired the man’s tolerance.

At that moment, Elisa’s eyes were filled with ridicule. When he turned, Gareth saw what she felt, and his face suddenly fell.

He knew she didn’t believe a word.

But it was fine.

Elisa would be his woman sooner or later. He didn’t mind wasting time with her.

When Old Mr. Wickam saw the eye contact between the two, he was incensed!

He slammed the table furiously abruptly, but before he could say anything, Julia immediately snarled, “What are you doing? You frightened me!”

Darren’s expression changed slightly. He instantly forgot his rage and looked at Julia at once. He explained worriedly, “I forgot that your heart hasn’t been feeling too well lately. Are you okay? Did your heart skip a beat? I was just very agitated at that moment.”
