No Chance Of Remarriage: Get Lost Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Refused to Apologize

“It’s all about money for them! Is it that important? I can’t wait to see Wickam Group go bankrupt soon! Back when we didn’t have a lot of money, we had a much better life. In the past, your grandpa wasn’t like that, but everything is different now!”

Elisa’s eyes flickered wistfully. “Grandma…”

“Alas, I even lost a perfect granddaughter-in-law. I’m devastated…”

Elisa smiled and replied, “Grandma, I’m your real granddaughter, am I not?”

“Yes, you are right! I don’t want them as my family anymore!”

She tried to cheer Julia up before hanging up the phone.

Since a long time ago, she had been hearing such complaints from Julia, that money had completely changed the character of the Wickams, and that she didn’t wish for their family to be so affluent.

After this…

Elisa’s eyes flickered as she thought about it, but at this moment, Will turned around to look at her. “I suddenly feel like eating the steak you make. Can you make it for me for lunch?”

She immediately returned to her senses and looked at him; he was smiling affectionately as he looked straight ahead.

Unable to help herself, she said, “Actually, now that Gareth and I are divorced, we have already accomplished your goal. I will also continue to fight the lawsuit for you. But, do you have other motives for getting closer to me?”

Since the traffic light in front of them just turned red, he slammed his foot on the brakes before shifting the gears.

Then, he turned around to look at her. “I already told you just now – I have genuine feelings for you apart from our partnership. Why don’t you believe me?”

She smiled at him. “You are a prominent figure, Mr. Darcey, while I’m just a nobody. How would I dare to believe that?”

He was at a loss for words after hearing that.

Shaking his head exasperatedly, he explained, “I used to think that you are elegant and smart, but after getting to know you more, now I think that you have a rather strong personality.”

For example, she had her own pride that she refused to let others step on. Because of that, she immediately proceeded to have a divorce without any second thoughts.

She turned around to look nonchalantly at the traffic light that had just turned green before speaking calmly, “I want to draw a line here for our relationship. I also hope that you won’t go out of your way for me.”

“Go out of my way for you?” He looked at her. “Are you referring to Gareth?”

She replied coolly, “We are divorced now, so I don’t have an inkling to care for him. I’m just worried that I might be in trouble with all the other women you are surrounded by, and I might not even know how I get framed.”

He could not help laughing when he heard that. “It won’t happen.”

Seeing that the cars in front of them had started moving, he shifted the gear again. As the car slowly moved forward, he said gently, “I will protect you. Since you are single again, I believe I have the

opportunity to date you.”

“Please don’t. I can’t take the risk.” Her lips twitched into a smile.

As the car slowly drove to her apartment, she leaned against the seat and turned around to look at the heavy traffic around them with a dazed look in her eyes.

I feel like I have been hurrying to get things done all my life, but today I finally have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the outside world. From today onward, I won’t be bounded by the Wickam family any further, and I’m not Mrs. Wickam anymore. I can be myself completely – Elisa Benett.

…

On the other hand, at the Benett family, Linda and her parents were waiting for a phone call in the living room, looking tense and worried.

Her father, Norman Benett frowned. “Can they really get a divorce? It’s a crucial juncture for the Wickam family now. No matter how much Gareth despises Elisa, he has to secure the project first before doing anything else, doesn’t he?”

Linda smiled when she heard that. “Didn’t you see what happened at the party yesterday? Dad, do you think the situation can be salvaged?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Her mother, Rose Meek, nodded and added sarcastically, “That’s right, dear. Stop giving yourself more trouble. Just yesterday, I heard from the Wickam family maids that Monica wanted Elisa to apologize in public, but you know how Elisa is – so proud and arrogant! She refused to apologize, and so there is no other way out of the situation apart from having a divorce.”

Linda nodded with a smile. “You’re right, Mom.”

Norman continued to frown, thinking that the news was not too accurate. However, in the next second, the phone rang.
