Chapter 43 There’s No Turning Back
Everyone knew that Will and Gareth were mortal enemies!
Elisa smiled and replied, “Please call me Miss Benett.”
Mr. Godfrey’s chubby face froze. He was a little shocked when he replied, “Wickam… No, Miss Benett,
you…”
Will smiled and added, “Yes, they got divorced.”
Mr. Godfrey was stunned!
Aren’t they the most loved-up couple? Why are they divorcing all of a sudden?
Before Mr. Godfrey proceeded to ask more, Will said politely, “I’ve got things to do. Please excuse me.”
Mr. Godfrey was disappointed as he wanted to gossip more. Elisa left with Will.
Will smiled at Elisa, “Mr. Godfrey has a big mouth. Soon your news will be circulating through
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteveryone’s mouth.”
Elisa frowned and looked at Will, “How did Mr. Darcey know I wanted to spread the rumor today?”
Will’s mouth tilted slightly, “Because we are best friends.”
Elisa was speechless.
Will was not wrong either. If it wasn’t for the purpose of publicizing my divorce, why would I need
someone as powerful and eye-catching as Will is to bring me here.
Will and Elisa clinked their glasses and smiled together, “But I don’t think the impact of spreading the
news around is big enough. I believe Gareth is planning something else by bringing Linda to the
banquet today.”
Gareth continued to stare at Will and Elisa with a murderous look on his face as they were chatting and
laughing together.
Elisa took a sip of her champagne.
“I don’t care about his plan. I just want to get a divorce.”
They only had an oral agreement on their divorce. Elisa would only feel relieved after getting their
divorce certificate.
Will’s mouth tilted slightly, “You’re doing great.”
Elisa pursed her lips and remained silent.
The lively banquet is filled with crowds gossiping about each other.
Everyone’s attention was only diverted after Mr. Morris appeared.
Mr. Morris’s eldest son, River, had just turned forty years old this year. He was holding the microphone.
He smiled and greeted everyone, “Thank you all for attending my father’s birthday banquet as always.
I’m not going to fish for compliments. Let’s do something different this year.”
Everyone was excited. It was indeed a different birthday event. In the past, Mr. Morris’s birthday was
just a private gathering between businessmen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut this year, not only that Gareth and Will had come up with surprises, Mr. Morris had decided to do
something different too.
Will stood in the centre. He turned to look at Elisa, “Do you believe that I came up with this idea?”
“Huh?” Elisa looked at him curiously. Will was a cunning person who would never do anything that
wouldn’t benefit himself. What was he trying to express to her?
Understanding only hit Elisa after a few seconds. “You…”
Will laughed and said, “Elisa, you are really smart.”
Elisa was speechless.
She pursed her lips. Will must have negotiated something with River. Are we going to hurt grandma?
Elisa hesitated slightly.
She handed Will her glass and said softly, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Will had a thoughtful expression on his face.
“You have come this far, and there’s no turning back. Isn’t this the result you’re trying to achieve?”
