SWNOVELS Chapter 78
Chapter 78 How Could You Make Up Such Rumors?
Shirley Lowe opened her mouth wide in disbelief. She was gawking at the two people sitting adjacent
to each other on the second floor.
“Oh my God! Isn’t that Gareth’s father and Elisa? Why…are they here together?!”
Here, everyone knew the names of the rich. Mr. Wickam was not an exception.
Linda Benett had an irritated look. Mr. Wickam had always favored Elisa, therefore he must be trying to
persuade her back into marriage!
These two had a difficult time getting divorced, and she could not under any circumstances allow them
to reconcile!
With that in mind, Linda conjured an idea. She picked up her mobile phone and photographed the two
individuals.
Shirley looked at her and questioned, “Linda, what are you doing?”
Linda Benett smiled, “Uncle Wickam always made Elisa his favorite. There can only be one reason why
he is out with her, he must be trying to persuade them back into a marriage. I’ll have Garry look at
these pictures to understand how much his father wants them back together. I’ll let him change his
mind and remarry Elisa.”
Shirley looked at Linda bewildered. “Linda, are you crazy, how can you say such a thing?!”
Linda merely shook her head in disapproval and stared at the two people conversing upstairs.
She smiled and pulled Shirley to the side. “Well, I can’t steal another person’s man. Frankly speaking,
Gareth is still my brother-in-law.”
Shirley gave her a dirty look and commented, “You’re always looking out for Elisa, but when has she
ever returned the favour? What is with this sudden new attitude?”
Linda smirked. “Well, she is family. By the way Shirley, best you treat my sister-in-law proper, or we
wouldn’t see each other in the future. Understood?”
Linda had a calm tone when she delivered that statement, but there was an underlying threat beneath
it.
Shirley understood what Linda insinuated and didn’t reply any further. She walked ahead in silence.
Linda clutched her phone. She had sent out the photo with a string of texts.

After sending the picture, Linda deleted her chat history. She picked up her pace and yelled, “Shirley,
don’t walk so fast!”
…
Elisa looked at Mr. Wickam’s friendly smile as she decided she didn’t want to talk about this subject any
longer. “Dad, thank you for looking after me so well, but… I’m going to live up to your expectations,”
she lamented.
Mr. Wickam appeared concerned. “Feelings cannot be decided instantly; you must first reflect on what I
said. Feel free to contact me if you run across any problems in the future.”
Elisa nodded but said nothing further.
She stood up. To respect Mr. Wickam’s time she responded, “That… I wouldn’t waste any more of your
time.”
Jerry Wickam could only sigh.
Elisa turned and walked outside feeling relieved.
However, back at the law firm, there was another storm brewing, Elisa just walked in when she
overheard Jennifer talking behind her back. “She has just been divorced and still prowling for her next
target?”
“Mr. Darcey treated her so well, and she still had the nerve to find someone on the side?”
“What’s wrong?”
The others didn’t know, but Jennifer couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “I’m talking about Elisa! She was
spotted with Gareth’s father and had a swell time at the café. This must be some payback for Gareth!”
“Shhh! Stop spouting nonsense. Where on earth did you hear such a thing?”
