《Wanna Remarry Me锛烴o Way!》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Gareth Wickam finally came home after the dinner had gone cold. Smack! He tossed a divorce agreement before Elisa Bt. "Your cousin is awake, and I have promised her that she would be the only Mrs. Wickam in her lifetime. Elisa, it''s time to sign the agreement. We are getting a divorce." Since Elisa''s cousin had regained consciousness one month ago, Elisa expected this to happen eventually. Still, she looked up at him and asked bitterly, "You still don''t believe me?" Gareth sneered and said, "You have always been a greedy and vain woman. Why should I believe you? Elisa, don''t make me repeat it again. Sign the agreement, and this vi is yours. This is my parting gift to you!" Ha... Elisa''s eyes shed with mockery. Does he think he is showing me mercy by not making me leave with nothing? She picked up the divorce agreement he threw at her and saw that he had already signed at his signature block. Elisa''s breath stuck in her throat. Her eyes felt a little warm from tears. However, she soon regained herposure and looked at him. "Did Grandma agree? "What makes you think Grandma is able to support you forever?" Gareth looked at her coldly. "You know why we got married in the first ce. Elisa, don''t be greedy. You will only make me hate you more." Elisa sneered. "Hatred and even more hatred. Is there any difference?" Gareth''s face suddenly turned fierce. "Elisa!" Elisa took a pen. "Fine, I''ll sign." Since Elisa''s cousin regained consciousness, she had sent Elisa numerous photos of her being intimate with Gareth. They clearly desire each other. What is the point of me clinging to this marriage? Thus, Elisa crossed out the term about Gareth gifting her a vi and quickly signed her name. There was no hint of hesitation. With that, Elisa''s marriage of three years came to an end, and she found herself free. Then, Elisa returned the divorce agreement to Gareth and said indifferently, "Give me an hour. I will pack my things and leave." Gareth pursed his lips and red at her. "This vi is yours. You don''t have to move out." "I don''t need it. You lived here, so..." Elisa chuckled before enunciating each word, "It is dirty." "Elisa!" Elisa ignored Gareth''s anger and appeared as her usual docile self before pushing him out of the room. An hourter, Elisa came downstairs and found that Gareth had already left. She suddenly looked at the men''s Rolex watch in her hand. It was the present she had prepared for hising birthday. Now, it was an eyesore. St! The watch was worth more than one million, but Elisa threw it into the trash can without hesitation. Then, she breathed in and epted that her three years of love had been wasted. From now on, I will only live for myself! Then, she left the vi and hailed a taxi, telling the driver to send her to her own vi. She had bought this vi a few years ago. Since she was living with the Wickam family, she had never stepped foot in her vi before. Thus, the servants were shocked to see her and quickly lined up immediately to say in unison, "Wee, Mrs. Wickam." Elisa put down her luggage and slumped on the couch. She rubbed her temple and corrected them "From now on, I am no longer Mrs. Wickam. I''m only Ms. Bt." She used to feel proud hearing people call her ''Mrs. Wickam''. Now, that name sounded like mockery to her. The servants did not dare to question but retreated respectfully. Then, Elisa went to her room and gave her assistant, Charli Lucas, a call. "How are you?" Charli was surprised. "What the heck? You actually called me? How rare this is!" "I have gotten a divorce, so I will listen to what you say and prioritize my career." "What?" Charli was astounded. "Damn, have misheard? You dedicated everything to your husband in these three years. You even gave up work to be a full-time housewife. What''s going on? Why are you suddenly deciding to divorce? Are you pulling a prank?" Charli was Elisa''s assistant. Other than Charli and a couple more people close to Elisa, no one knew about Elisa''s second identity. In actuality, Elisa was also a brilliantwyer named Iris.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. There was a popr saying on the Inte: If Iris is in second ce, the first ce is empty. Manywyers would tremble in fear whenever they heard her name. As Charli was still in shock, Elisa asked, "Did anyone look for me recently? Any interesting cases?" Charli''s eyes shed, and she said with a tinge of regret, "There is a case, and the fee offered is an astronomical sum. However, no one dares to ept it, and you... You can''t ept it." "Oh?" Elisa''s usually indifferent tone rose with a hint of interest. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Elisa and Charli sat across from each other in a caf¨¦. "Why can''t I ept the case?" Elisa came to the couch and took a seat. Seeing Charli nod with a sigh, Elisa arched an eyebrow and asked, "Can you exin why?" "It''s because..." Charli began to exin the situation surrounding the case. Elisa tapped her fingers on her left thigh as she listened. Her eyes darkened as she considered. "That''s quite interesting. Who are the parties involved?" "I... I guess it doesn''t matter that you find out..." Elisa looked at Charli curiously. "Both parties are big shots in the business world, so this case involves a lot of matters. Their rtionship has soured, and the one requesting your help is Mr. Darcey. Mr. Darcey''s rival is..." Charli sighed and continued sadly, "Your husband!" Elisa''s breath quickened. Then, Charli pressed a hand to her chest and said regretfully, "It seems this case is not meant for us. It is torture to see such arge sum of fee and not be able to ept it." Elisa yed with her phone silently. It was hard to see what she was thinking. Charli looked at Elisa and thought she was sad. She felt a pang in her heart andforted her, "Don''t be sad. With your reputation, I am sure you can get more cases and earn that money. But Iris, are you divorced for real?" Elisa pursed her lips. "My life is better off without him." Charli looked at Elisa''s solemn gaze and felt relieved. "You have finallye to your senses! You did so much for this trash, but he never learned to appreciate you. You have freed yourself from misery by leaving him. Babe, I sincerely congratte you for the decision you''ve made!"Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. As they were conversing, two familiar figures entered the caf¨¦, prompting Elisa''s expression to darken instantly. The man wore a ck suit with silver shirt cuffs gleaming as coldly as his heart. The woman beside him wore a white dress and seemed as delicate as a bird. Her name was Linda Bt. Elisa was annoyed. What a coincidence. We have just divorced, and he is now dating his mistress in the open. Charli nced at Elisa and saw that her expression had soured. "Why are these two here?" Charli''s voice was too loud and caught Gareth''s attention, prompting him to turn around and saw them. His expression instantly turned fierce. What is it with this woman? She signed the divorce papers without carest night and even rejected the vi. Now, she has appeared within my sight again. Is she ying hard to get? Elisa met his gaze and turned away indifferently before dragging Charli to leave. However, a sickly sweet voice sounded near her. "Elisa, you''re here too." As the voice sounded, Linda came to their side with a gentle smile. She looked at Elisa innocently as if she meant no harm. Elisa scoffed in her heart. Who would have known that this innocent and gentle-looking woman secretly sent me numerous intimate photos of her and Gareth this month? Elisa gave an insincere smile. "Linda, you''re already discharged from the hospital? Wow, you can walk so soon even after beingatose for three years. It''s a miracle!" The people nearby nced at them curiously upon hearing Elisa. Linda seemed flustered for a moment but soon recovered herposure. She turned to Gareth and smiled sweetly. "The doctor said it is all thanks to Gareth''s dedicated care these three years. It was his perseverance that woke me up and allowed me to recover faster." Elisa could not resist looking at Gareth and smirked. "How did I not know that my ex-husband is a medical genius? It''s a pity he never studied medicine. The medical field has lost out on a genius!" The curious onlookers heard this and were curious to see the drama unfold. They exchanged nces and whispered amongst themselves. "Ex-husband? Does that mean the woman in the white dress is the mistress? Is she the wife''s cousin?" "My goodness! That sounds messy!" "How dare she show off before the wife? What a shameless woman!" Gareth''s expression darkened as he listened to the onlookers. "Elisa, you have been clinging on to me for so long, and yet, you dare to show up here and y hard to get. If you appear within my sight again you wilfregret it!" Elisa suppressed her fury and smiled. "Regret? How will you make me regret, Mr. Wickam?" Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Linda''s eyes gleamed delightedly as she saw Gareth threatening Elisa. Then, she looked at Gareth sadly and said, "Garry, don''t be angry. It''s probably a misunderstanding. I don''t want both of you to fight over me." Elisa looked at Linda with derision. She never knew her cousin was such a good actress. Her innocent act disgusted Elisa.- Before Gareth could speak, Elisa said, "My cousin has been yearning to be Mrs. Wickam for a long time. Why don''t you marry her quickly so that she stops sending me disgusting messages?" Linda''s expression changed upon hearing the word ''message''. She said quickly, "Elisa, I''ve exined to you many times. I don''t wish to ruin your marriage. Gareth is only feeling guilty that I fell into aa from saving him, so he wishes to make it up to me. There is nothing between us." Gareth looked at Elisa with disdain. "There''s no use exining to her. Let''s go." However, Elisa stopped Gareth before he could leave with Linda. "Why don''t we obtain our divorce order now? That way we each can marry whoever else we want and have nothing to do with each other." Linda clenched her hands for a moment. Gareth told me they have divorced. After all this, why has he still not gotten the divorce order? Suddenly, Linda''s expression turned solemn. "Elisa, there is nothing between me and Gareth. If it makes you unhappy, I won''t meet with him anymore." Then, she turned to Gareth and was on the verge of tears. "Garry, I''m sorry for causing a misunderstanding between you and Elisa, so I will leave now. You should coax her. Ladies like to be coaxed." Linda left right after saying that. Gareth red at Elisa and said coldly, "I''m not free. My assistant will contact you, so get ready." Then, he ran after Linda. Charli stood stunned and felt indignant for Elisa. "Elisa, thank goodness you divorced him! This trash is unworthy of you."Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. How can Iris bear such indignity? I couldn''t get involved because it is her family matters. How I wish I can bash up that Linda! She is a devious b*tch! "Charli, did you say Gareth will have topensate tens of billions if he loses thisw suit?" Charli was still daydreaming about bashing up Linda and replied in confusion, "Yes, why?" Elisa nced at the window calmly. "Charli, I need you to contact Will Darcey and get ready to start work." Charli covered her mouth in shock. "Are... Are you going to take revenge because of your hatred for Gareth?" Elisa''s smile did not reach her eyes. "It is only business. I happen to like this case." I have always loved challenging cases. Furthermore, we have divorced. I don''t need to show mercy. However, Charli remained stunned and asked in confusion, "But... Why are you helping Will? Aren''t you Mrs. Wickam? You loved him so much in the past and would do anything for him..." Elisa interrupted her and said bitterly, "You said it yourself. That is all in the past. Furthermore, I will be divorced soon." "Are you really going to divorce?" "Yes," Elisa answered firmly. "Since I have epted this case, I won''t y around." Charli was not fully convinced but nodded her head. She suddenly remembered something and said, "Previously, you attended court hearings remotely. However, Will insists on meeting you in person for this case... Once he finds out you are Mrs. Wickam, he might not trust you..." "Don''t worry. I can deal with it." Charli nodded when she saw how confident Elisa was. "Sure, I will help you deal with other matters. Also, his head of legal affairs is Corey. He is your senior from school, so I thinkmunications will be easy." Charli realized Elisa seemed different from the past and sincerely felt happy for her. Thus, she held her arm and said, "Elisa, let''s go to my house. I will cook dinner to celebrate your freedom from that b*stard!" Gareth hid in a nearby car and watched Elisa and Charli chatting happily as they left the caf¨¦. His expression turned cold and intimidating. Elisa Bt, what are you up to? After finishing dinner at Charli''s home, Elisa stayed for a while to chat and discuss the case before heading home. When she reached the vi, a servant came to her and said, "Miss, we checked the surveince cameras and noticed someone has followed you here." Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Elisa nodded but did not seem to care. "Don''t bother about him. He is only following and doesn''t seem to have ill intentions."- After a busy day, Elisa slept well that night. Previously, she would always worry about losing Gareth. But now that she had lost him, she somehow epted the reality and turned calm. Initially, she thought she would have a hard time sleeping alone, but she ended up having a dreamless sleep. It seemed she could really let go of him. When she opened her eyes again, it was due to her rm clock ringing in the early morning. Elisa got up in a good mood and washed up. She smiled delightedly at the breakfast that wasid on the table. She loved French-style breakfasts of croissants and hot chocte. However, Gareth disliked them and was used to having meat for breakfast. Therefore, she had to amodate him all these years. Now, she could finally take care of herself and eat the food she liked, which put her in a rxed mood. That morning, she received a call from Charli saying the person in charge of Darcey Group''s legal department was eager to meet her. Thus, Charli helped Elisa arrange a ce to meet. Elisa finished breakfast and went out. At the same time, in a car outside the vi, a man dressed in ck secretly called someone on the phone. "Boss, she has left the house." "Follow her." Gareth''s expression darkened. He never knew Elisa had her own vi. She even urged him to divorce her. This woman... She suddenly behaves like a different person. Elisa reached the meeting ce and found Corey Wilson seated by the window. She went to him and greeted him with a smile, "Corey, you''re here early." Corey looked up in surprise and was shocked to see Elisa. "Elisa?" Elisa smiled as she replied, "You should call me Iris." Her answer made him even more astounded. "Elisa, you..." Corey had always admired how academically gifted she was at school. He didn''t expect to find out that she was Iris. Thus, he was unable to hide the excitement in his heart. Soon, both of them got into the main purpose of this meeting and talked about the case. However, Elisa remained unaware of Gareth watching from a car. His expression had turned gloomy like a stormy sky. He could not see the face of the man sitting opposite her and did ? know who he was. All he co was Elisa smiling brightly at the man. Gareth''s gaze turned vicious as if he wanted to devour Elisa whole. He had never felt this frustrated before. Previously, Elisa only had eyes for me. How can she now smile so brightly at another man? Does she think I am dead? Elisa did not suspect anything amiss. After finishing the discussion, she had lunch with Corey before leaving. Then, she remembered she had not went shopping for a long time. Thus, she went shopping and bought many things for herself. The sky was almost dark by the time she returned to her vi. The servants spent a couple of days tidying the things she brought back. They saw that she had returned and gave her a list of the items. Elisa noticed something missing from the list. She touched her neck instinctively and widened her eyes. Where is the ne? I can''t lose that ne! Did I forget to wear it when I packed in a hurry that day? She considered and decided to return to Wickam Residence to search for it. However, she did not expect to walk into the bedroom and find Gareth standi before her dressing table, looking dazedly at a watch in his hand. Elisa was astonished. In their three years of marriage, Gareth had never stepped foot into their bedroom. Now, he seemed absentminded as he looked at the watch she had gifted him and did not notice her entering the room. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 He hated the watch when she gave it to him and smashed it on the floor. Elisa used glue to reassemble it piece by piece. Although the watch became defective, Elisa still could not bear to throw it. Meanwhile, Gareth suddenly realized that he was being watched and turned to see Elisa looking at him indifferently. He snorted and tossed the watch onto the dressing table. "How dare you disy a broken thing here? Is my vi a thrift store?" Elisa''s mouth twitched. "You should toss it then." After saying that, she walked past him to search for her ne. Gareth''s pupil constricted. Back then, she cared so much about this watch. Now, she tells me to throw it out like it is nothing. Yes, she has changed! Otherwise, why would she meet up with another man and look so happy chatting with him? Veins popped up on Gareth''s forehead as his expression darkened. "Elisa! Have you found another man? Is that why you agreed so quickly to the divorce?" Elisa chuckled. "You can think of it that way if you want." After saying that, she headed straight to the dressing table and took a box containing a ne from a drawer. Although they stood closely, Elisa did not spare him a nce and turned around to head out. Gareth''s face nched, and he grabbed her wrist. "You think you cane and go whenever you want?" Elisa could not free herself and looked at him puzzledly. "What do you want?" He won''t listen to reasons! I''ve never seen his mood this vtile before. Seeing her hesitance, Gareth grabbed her hand tightly and said solemnly, "Grandma wants to see you, so you areing to Wickam Manor with me tonight!" Elisa frowned and looked at Gareth dumbfounded. "Is something wrong with you? Shouldn''t you bring Linda to see her?" Gareth''s expression darkened further at her harsh words. "I''ve told you just now. Grandma wants to see you! Otherwise, why would I bother spending time alone with you?" Elisa snorted. "When Grandma wants to see me in the past, you would always find all kinds of excuses to prevent me from going. Why do you now insist on me going?" Gareth sneered mockingly. "Elisa, Grandma cares so much about you. Have you forgotten her after our divorce?" Elisa pursed her lips. Grandma wasConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . the only person who had treated her well in the Wickam family and cared about her. She knew Gareth did not love Elisa, so she pitied her and tried to make it up to her. Furthermore, some of the things Grandma did made Elisa felt like she was her biological granddaughter. Thus, Elisa could never bear to refuse her request. "Previously, you were always concerned about Grandma, and now, you wish to ignore her. Elisa, why have I never noticed how selfish you are? Are you going to abandon her now that she is useless to you?" "I''m not that kind of person!" Elisa red at him. Gareth scoffed. "Go see her then." Elisa got into the car with conflicting emotions. My sham of marriage has always been Grandma''s cause of concern. If only I hadn''t insisted on marrying... Elisa and Gareth soon arrived at the Wickam Manor. They had just entered when an excited voice sounded from the couch. "My lovely granddaughter-inw is here! Elisa,e and sit beside me! I''ve been wanting to see you for a long time. You''re finally here now!" Elisa''sshes trembled slightly. She could not hide theplicated emotions in her eyes as she forced herself to smile. "Grandma, I''m sorry. During this time..." However, Julia Smith interrupted her by patting her hand kindly. Her tone was gentle as she said, "You don''t have to exin. I know the difficulties you are facing." Elisa looked at Julia in surprise and asked tentatively, "You... You know everything?" But if Grandma knows about our divorce, she won''t be speaking to me in this tone... Even Gareth seemed bewildered as he looked at Julia. Julia red at Gareth furiously before turning to Elisa withpassion. "Yes, I know everything. This brat is a scoundrel. I have chosen a good wife for him. Yet, he takes you for granted!" Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Elisa looked at Julia with an astonished expression. Does Grandma really know? Julia pulled Elisa to sit beside her and said solemnly. "Don''t worry! If he doesn''t go home again at night, I will punish him for you and break his legs!" Elisa''s eyshes trembled slightly. It turns out Grandma only knows the sufferings I have gone through. She doesn''t know about the divorce yet. Julia noticed Gareth''s sullen expression and scolded, "What is that look? Why? Are you angry because I asked you to bring your wife here to have dinner?" Gareth controlled his expression and turned to Julia. "I wouldn''t dare." "Hmph! Is there anything you don''t dare to do? You are not that young anymore! When are you going to give me a grandchild? Don''t you know it is your duty to pass down the family line?" Elisa rushed to support Julia when she stood up. Gareth frowned and nced at Elisa. Meanwhile, the servants noticed Gareth had returned and soon finished setting up the table for dinner. Thus, Julia pulled Elisa toward the dining table. "Come! Let''s have dinner! If he doesn''t like the food here, he can scram and nevere back!" Gareth''s expression darkened further. He did not speak but took a seat before them. Julia generously served a heap of food on Elisa''s te. It seemed like Elisa was her biological granddaughter, and Gareth was the grandson-inw. Elisa ate freely and chatted with Julia. Gareth seemed abandoned at his end of the table. He put down his fork and turned to Julia, "Grandma, why do you suddenly ask me..... Ask us toe here for dinner?" "Do you know how long you have not visited me here?" Julia nced at Gareth and became even more furious when she saw Gareth not caring about her. "Is it so difficult to spend time with me? Your grandpa frequently travels for business and leaves me here alone. How can you ask this kind of question?" Gareth had nothing to say. He continued to eat his food and did not say anything. On the other hand, Julia grew even more agitated and mmed her hand on the table. "No matter what Elisa is your wife, and you should cherish her. Why do you keep going to the hospital to spend time with that cunning woman? Have you not embarrassed the Wickam family enough?" Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Gareth''s expression turned sullen. "Grandma, Linda saved my life." "She saved your life? Anyone can see she is deceiving you!" Gareth frowned and red at Elisa. Elisa looked at him and smiled mockingly. She knew he thought she had tattled on him. Previously, I would worry that Gareth would misunderstand, but now... Hah! Who cares that he misunderstand? Would I lose anything? "Stop ring at her! Elisa did not say anything to me! Do you think I won''t notice? You went to the hospital. every day and did not bother to go home!" Gareth pursed his lips and remained silent. The dinner consisted mostly of Julia scolding Gareth. Julia did not mince her words or show him mercy. Elisa felt satisfied listening to Gareth being scolded. It even felt like someone had avenged the indignity she previously suffered. After chatting with Julia for a little longer, Elisa and Gareth finally headed out of the manor. However, Elisa was in a dilemma. Julia still did not know that they had divorced. Furthermore, they still acted as a couple and shared a car. Still, Elisa did not want to have anything to do with Gareth anymore. She was already seething with frustration on the way to the manor. On the other hand, Gareth stood still with a soured expression. But Julia did not care and scolded, "Why aren''t you opening the door for your wife? Brat, where are your gentlemanly manners?" Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Elisa looked up immediately but did not know what to say.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Then, Gareth came to her sullenly and helped her open the door. Julia saw Elisa standing stunned at her spot and gave her a little push. "Silly child, why are you in a daze? Go on and get into the car!" Elisa sighed softly and smiled. "Grandma, it''s gettingte. You should go back into the house. We will be heading home now." Once Julia returned to the house, Elisa could walk away and hail a taxi. It seems I have to buy a car as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Gareth remained petnt and did not speak. One could not help but wonder if Julia could read Elisa''s intention. She chuckled and said, "I will go in once you leave. Quick, get into the car." Elisa was still a little hesitant, but Gareth had lost all patience and said gruffly, "Get in the car!" Thus, Elisa had no choice but to get into the car. Gareth closed the door and turned to Julia, "You should return to the house." Julia frowned and said impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense. Get into the car!" Gareth was rendered speechless. Why does Grandma treat me differently? Aren''t I her grandson? Gareth did not say anything. He got into the car and drove away. It was so quiet inside the car that they could hear their breathing sounds. Elisa did not wish to talk to him. Once the car made a turn and went out of Julia''s view, Elisa said, "Stop the car." Her voice sounded like amand, prompting Gareth to scoff and said, "Where are you rushing off to? Are you running off to meet another man?" Elisa sneered. "Why aren''t you stopping the car? Don''t tell me you are reluctant to divorce and want to bring me home." Screech! The car stopped abruptly. Elisa smirked when she saw Gareth red with fury and said before he had a chance to argue, "If you wish to divorce, do it faster. Otherwise, don''t me me for changing my mind. I will keep pestering you and make sure you can''t marry her or divorce me!" After saying that, Elisa reached for the door handle to get out. Click! Gareth suddenly locked the door. Elisa frowned and turned to Gareth. "What is the meaning of this?" Gareth snorted coldly. "Elisa, what makes you think Grandma will always be on your side?" I "As I thought. You suspect I tattled on you." Elisa continued to smirk and said, "It doesn''t matter whether t tattled you. Isn''t divorce more important to you? Mr. Wickam, can you confirm when you want to register our divorce?" Gareth nced at her sharply. "Are you nning to send someone to inform Grandma when we divorce?" "What the heck are you thinking?" Elisa was speechless and turned impatient. "If you keep being afraid, we will never be able to divorce. So, Mr. Wickam, are you free tomorrow?" Gareth replied coldly, "I''ve already told you. My assistant will contact you when I am free! Get out of my car!" Elisa sneered in anger. "You think I want to be here? Gareth, you will pay for your arrogance one day!" After saying that, she did not spare him another nce and got out of the car. Seeing Gareth being impatient to leave, she scoffed and deliberately neglected to close the door. Then, she walked away leisurely and said, "I''m taking my leave first, Mr. Wickam." Gareth gritted his teeth. "Elisa!" Elisa smirked and did not bother to look back as she made a turn and left on a pedestrian path. Two hourster, Gareth arrived at hispany. Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it immediately. "Boss, she has left the hill, and I have followed her to her home. Nothing happened on the way, and she did not meet anyone." Gareth''s expression darkened instantly. His eyes shed with hatred for Elisa. His anger surged as he recalled how she behaved as if she wanted to have nothing to do with him. "You don''t have to follow her anymore." The person on the other end was stunned. "Yes, sir." Then, Gareth hung up furiously. He did not wish to hear about Elisa anymore. It would only make him even more annoyed. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Elisa headed straight to the bathroom after arriving home. She felt much better after a shower. Although she had also lived alone in the past, it was not as rxing as she felt now. Previously, she was always thinking about Gareth, but now, she was free to develop her own career. At the same time, she could not help but feel a little depressed as she thought of the past. Why did I waste so much energy on that trash? As the night deepened, Elisa slept soundly despite being a light sleeper. On the other hand, Gareth tossed and turned in his bed. He had headed straight to thepany after leaving Wickam Manor and worked for a while before deciding to rest. Unfortunately, he could not. As soon as hey down, memories of Elisa''s mocking smile appeared in his mind. Gareth opened his eyes abruptly. His expression was cold and stern. Then, he got up and ordered his assistant to gather people for an all-night video conference to arrange work. He did not sleep the whole night and looked terrible. Everyone saw how terrifying Gareth appeared on the screen and kept quiet. No one dared to even yawn. They all wondered who had dared to annoy him. The following morning, Elisa was reading documents at home when she received a call from Charli. "Iris, Will Darcey wishes to see you. Is... Is that okay?" Elisa considered and felt she could not avoid him forever. Thus, she agreed to the meeting. Charli came to pick her up half an hourter and could not help but feel a little worried. "Anyway, are you really ready to see him?" Elisa sat beside her and appeared calm. "I have gotten ready a long time ago." "Are... Are you sure you can convince Will to trust you? Have they not questioned your identity when you met with hispany''s legal department? Does he still not know who you are?" Elisa patted Charli''s shoulder. "Don''t worry. He will know soon." Charli did not know what to say. She had no choice but to pray that things would not go horribly wrong. Soon, Elisa arrived at the restaurant and saw a handsome man sitting at a table, ying mobile games. He wore a tailored high-end suit and exuded a deep sense of nobility. His eyes seemed gentle, and many did not know the ruthlessness hidden beneath those eyes. Noises of the mobile game sounded from his phone from time to time, shing with his professional appearance. Will looked up when he heard footsteps. He saw a tall and slender woman with her long and straight brown hair tied in a bun and fringes curled slightly at the side of her head. She wore a light blue corseted dress, showing her alluring figure She was slim with the appropriate amount of softness on the right part of her body.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Furthermore, she had beautiful facial features, especially her almond-shaped eyes. They gleamed like crystals and exuded a sense of professional capability. One could not help but be mesmerized by them. However, Will was astonished to see that she was Elisa. He logged out of his game and smiled, "Mrs. Wickam, have you gone to the wrong room?" Will respected Iris and arrived here early. He did not expect to bump into his enemy''s wife. Meanwhile, Elisa walked in and smiled as she took a seat opposite Will. "I haven''t gone to the wrong room. Didn''t you invite me?" Will saw Charli standing behind Elisa and instantly realized something. "You''re Iris?" His eyes shed with astonishment. Elisa was undeniably gorgeous. One could never forget her beauty after a nce at her. They made everyone seemckluster in her presence. Unfortunately, this lovelydy was Gareth''s wife. Will looked at Charli and gave a cryptic smile. "Ms. Lucas, why don''t you exin this?" Charli cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "Mr. Darcey, I was unclear about Iris'' situation previously, so I wasn''t able to exin it to you. However, since we have agreed to take your case, we can now reveal some matters to you now." Will narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment before saying expressionlessly, "So, are you telling me the topwyer that I am doing everything to appoint is my opponent''s wife?" Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Elisa smiled and corrected him, "Ex-wife." Despite howposed Will was, he could not help but appear a little shocked. "Ex-wife?" Elisa extended her hand. "Mr. Darcey, I am Iris. It''s nice meeting you for the first time. I hope we can work well together." Although she had seen him a few times as Mrs. Darcy, it was indeed her first time meeting him as Iris. Will shook her hand, but his smile remained somewhat skeptical. "Ms. Iris, why the sudden divorce?" Charli immediately felt indignant and said, "Mr. Wickam is a greedy man. Ms. Iris..." "Charli..." Elisa interrupted her and red at her to stop bringing up her personal matters. Then, she turned to Will and said, "Mr. Darcey, I know how vital this case is to Darcey Group. Therefore, I will never y around with it. You might not trust Mr. Wickam''s ex-wife, Elisa, but you must not doubt Iris. I have no reason to ruin my reputation." Will narrowed his eyes slightly. However, he soon chuckled. "About this case, Gareth has Vincent Shane on his side. I believe no one can help me win other than Ms. Iris." Vincent was an elitewyer who had never lost a case. A mention of his name would induce fear among otherwyers. Furthermore, he and Gareth were childhood friends. Some said Vincent was as good as Iris. Thus, people were interested to see Vincent and Iris going head-to-head in court. That was also why Will did everything he could to get Iris to represent him. But now... There was an unexpected coincidence, but that made the matter even more interesting. Charli nodded with a chuckle. "That''s right, Mr. Darcey! There is no use looking for otherwyers. Vincent is a brilliantwyer. Therefore, other than Ms. Iris, ordinarywyers would not stand a chance against him. In that case, there is no need for Iris to spy on you for Mr. Wickam, isn''t it?" Will nodded slightly and appeared to agree with what Charli said. However, he did not seem in a rush to discuss business. "What you said makes sense. Shall we have unch first?" He summoned a waiter to bring in the food. Then, he gentlemanly introduced the dishes and wine to them.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Elisa did not refuse his courtesy and picked up the cutleries. "If I had known you are this hospitable, I would have asked to meet you a long time ago." Will smiled. "Previously, I have always seen you with Gareth and never had a chance to talk to you. You and Gareth seemed like a loving couple. Why the sudden divorce?" Then, Will raised a ss of wine and smiled. "Ms. Iris, are you not going to have some wine?" "No, wine is harmful to health. I heard you have gastric issues. Let''s just enjoy the food." Will smiled and seemed to imply something. "I didn''t expect Ms. Iris to be so ''concerned'' about me and know about my gastric issues." Elisa paused eating for a moment and smiled casually. Then, she continued dining. After that, she did not say anything but focused on eating the food. She ate elegantly at a moderate pace. Meanwhile, Will ate slowly as if he was someone noble. On the other hand, Charli was not in the mood to enjoy the food. She nced at Will from the corner of her eyes and became worried. Will doesn''t seem to trust us. Once Elisa put down the cutleries, Will finally looked at her. "I''m quite surprised by our first meeting." Elisa smiled, "It''s okay. There will be more surprises in the future." Will arched an eyebrow, and his eyes gleamed with interest. "I''ll look forward to them." Suddenly, Charli cleared her throat. "I think we are almost done with the meal. Should we discuss the case?" Elisa looked at Will calmly. "I already know the specifics about the case and believe we can win. I am also happy with the fees you offered, but I have an additional condition." Chapter 10 Chapter 10 "We can win." Although Elisa had said those words casually, Will believed her. He looked at the gorgeous woman before him with a sh of surprise in his eyes. People said beautiful women are like vases. But what about thisdy? If she is not lying and is really Iris, it means she should never be underestimated! Will nodded and replied warmly, "What is it? I will agree if it is within my abilities." Elisa tapped her index finger on the table from time to time. She looked at Will and smiled calmly. "I heard Mr. Morris will be having a birthday banquet in ten days." Will looked at her. "Yes." Elisa tilted her head slightly and smiled. "Do you need a date for the banquet?" Surprise shed across Will''s eyes, but he smiled at her. "It is an honor. I will pick you up from your house that night. May I have your address?" Elisa took a sip of fruit juice. Then, she pursed her moist lips and said with a smile, "That''s too boring. I will meet you at your home and go from there." Charli was rendered speechless. What is Iris up to? Mr. Darcey is a wolf dressed in sheep''s clothing! I heard he is a notorious yer and a typical scumbag! He is even worse than Gareth and has gone through many women! At least Gareth is only involved with Linda, but Will... He changes women like clothes! If Elisa wants to go to the banquet, she can easily get in with her status as awyer. Why does she have to go with Will? She even arranges to go from his house! Charli could not sit still and feared Will would take advantage of Elisa. Thus, she quickly kicked Elisa''s leg under the table. However, Elisa did not react no matter how many times she kicked her. That made Charli even more anxious. She stared at Elisa and kicked her harder. Will looked deep into Elisa''s eyes and did not seem to mind her intention. He smiled and answered, "Sure." Elisa sent Charli aforting nce and nodded. "Mr. Darey, when would you like to bring the case to court?" Will thought for a moment and smiled. "I think we can wait until after the birthday banquet. Wouldn''t that be more interesting?" Charli was rendered speechless. The two of them seem to be nning something. This morning, Will''s assistant even called to say that the case is urgent, but now... Oh! I get it! Is Will nning to let Gareth see that Elisa is hispanion before suing him? Then, when they appear in court, Gareth would find out that Will''swyer is Gareth''s ex-wife. My goodness! Will is a vengeful man! Elisa smiled and got up from her seat. "I will leave you to decide when to sue him. Since we are done with the discussion, I would like to go home e for beauty sleep. If there are any more documents, you can send them to Charli. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Darcey." Will narrowed his eyes as he saw how easy-going Elisa behaved. She seemed to have arranged everything and was confident of her sess. It was very different from how she seemed before. Previously, Elisa would always stand hidden behind Gareth. Although she was beautiful, she seemed to have lost her spirit. But now, Elisa exuded an irresistibly attractive aura. Thus, Will took his phone and smiled at her. "Do you y games? I rank high in this game, so I can guide you." Elisa burst into suddenughter. She took her phone and joked, "I didn''t expect to find you with this achievement. Still, I don''t y games." Will seemed to have expected her response and casually opened a social media app. "Would you mind if I add you to my friend list?" Elisa looked at him with a smile. Will smiled back and said, "If needed, I can help you press ''like'' to anything you post." Elisa was amused by his childish offer and sent him a friend request. "Mr. Darcey, you should stay away from a divorced woman." Will epted her friend request and said, "I just think anything that would make my opponent unhappy wouldConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . make me happy.
