No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 1987

Kaylee felt her head spinning.

So, the elderly woman being supported by Elisa is Julia. Did I just end up flattering the wrong person?

Suddenly, her world turned dark, and her smile froze on her lips.

Julia leisurely took her seat at the head of the table. She gently patted Elisa's hand, signifying their close relationship.

This made Kaylee's face turn even paler.

After Julia sat down, it was then that Maria laughed and said, “Well, that's not true. It's just that the young lady simply mistook me for you, Madam Smith.”

Kaylee's face was turning pale even more.

Doesn't this imply that I'm someone who curries favor for the sake of fame and fortune?

So, Kaylee could only force a couple of awkward laughs, attempting to salvage her image.

“No... That's not it. I genuinely feel a connection with you.”

Maria laughed, evidently skeptical, but chose not to call it out.

But now, in this situation, calling it out or not wasn't that important anymore.

All those present grasped the situation without the need for verbal explanation; only Kaylee remained on the outside.

At this juncture, if Kaylee were to voice discontent, wouldn't that be taking advantage of the situation, thereby solidifying her reputation as a self-serving and acquisitive individual?

Thus, Kaylee found herself in a predicament where she could neither speak nor remain silent.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

If it weren't for the inappropriateness, Bella would have burst out laughing.

The worldly-wise veteran truly lived up to her reputation. With just a few words, Julia first made Kaylee feel exalted, and then abruptly brought her back down to the ground.

This is really satisfying.

Tears gradually welled up in Kaylee's eyes as she looked at Gareth with a plea for help.

Ever since Elisa arrived, Gareth's gaze had never left her.

Kaylee bit her lip, filled with unwillingness. But she also understood that at this moment, she could only rely on herself.

“I'm truly sorry, Madam Smith. Due to my personality, I'm unable to perform the tasks Elisa has assigned to me, so...”
