Wanna Remarry Me？No Way! novel Chapter 57

"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."

…

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?"

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.
