SWNOVELS Chapter 17
Chapter 17 You Knew This Right from the Start Gareth looked startled. Taking advantage of this, Elisa broke free and swung her leg up in a
roundhouse kick.
But Gareth dodged it! The veins in his forehead started to throb.
“Elisa Benett!”
He never thought that the day would come where she would bare her fangs at him!
Elisa smirked at him, “Mr. Wickam, I’m sorry for making you wait but no dice.”
She headed to the door.
The vein started to throb even more violently, but this time, he did not stop her. This Elisa was different
from the one he knew to the extent that the woman that he had been married to for the past three years
were a façade.
Had she decided to set aside all pretence of cordiality now that there was no benefit to be had for her?
No! She must be up to something!
He wasn’t going to change his mind just because of this!
He watched her as she placed her hand on the door handle. But she did not engage it. Her hand sat on
the handle gently. She turned slowly back at him.
Gareth smirked. He knew she was playing games!
What a sly woman!
However, Elisa looked at him indifferently, “If Mr. Wickam truly had the Wickam family’s best interest in
mind then hurry up and finalise the divorce. Don’t contact me unless it’s about that divorce certificate.
Let’s part ways without any bad feelings towards each other.”
She then walked out without looking back.
As she was walking out, she noticed a figure darting by out of the corner of her eye.
Even though she moved quite quickly, Elisa knew it was Linda by the color of her dress.
She smirked and went back to her own room.
Will looked up at Elisa’s unbothered face and smiled, “What took you so long?”
Elisa pulled out a chair and sat down. “I saw a fly and spent some time trying to get rid of it.”
Gareth just managed to walk by their doorway just as she said that. His face darkened further.
Will raised a brow at her, “Gareth came looking for you, huh?”
Elisa stayed quiet. Her silence was all Will needed to know.
Will glanced at her curiously, “Are you guys officially divorced yet?”
Elisa took a sip of juice, “The paper’s been signed. I’m just waiting for him to be free so that we can
head down there to submit it.”
Will smiled, “Looks like the chairman is quite busy. He doesn’t even have the time to get this divorce
sorted.”
Elisa looked at him, “What are you insinuating?”
Will chuckled, “Nothing much. Just an observation.”
Elisa looked at him up and down and said, “So, you lied about wanting to talk business over a meal?
The true reason was so that I could see the truth?”
Was bringing her here a test?
A test to find out about her relationship with Gareth and to see if he had sent her as a spy.
Ahh…
This was a first for her. She had never thought that she could have such an important role and that
someone would value her so much.
Will shook his head exasperatedly, “You really are smart.”
Elisa stared back at him without saying a word.
It was as she thought, it wasn’t coincidence that they bumped into Gareth and Linda here. He had
arranged for this to see how she would react.
Elisa said breezily, “You approached me for this lawsuit. I did not initiate this. If it weren’t for me, you’d
have no chance of winning this case. You knew this right from the start.”
