Chapter 1458 Don't Blame Anyone Else
"Please escort the others out of the casino first," Elisa said, turning to face Mr. North.
"Of course," Mr. North said, his tone respectful and deferential.
Mr. North gave a curt nod, indicating that he understood her instructions. He then turned to his subordinates and signaled them to leave the room.
Elisa's eyes were drawn to the washroom, where she saw Mr. Carrerra lying on the ground. He was unmoving, and his hands were tied behind his back.
"You're quite the philanthropist, aren't you?" Gareth said, his tone mocking and condescending.
Gareth's scornful remark was like a brick to her head, its impact knocking her senseless.
Elisa was momentarily caught off guard by his remark, her mind reeling with confusion.
She turned to him, rolling her eyes. "Gareth, what are you so angry about? You already got what you wanted."
Now that he had the Ganoderma Caligo, he could use it to heal his grandmother. Although his grandmother had hoped they would get back together, she would never want him to be alone if she knew they weren't meant to be together.
She would definitely start setting him up on dates as soon as he returned home.
This meant that there would be no more opportunities for them to see each other in the future.
Gareth fell silent under Elisa's icy stare.
His words caught in his throat, unable to answer her questions.
She was right. What was he so upset about?
He had achieved his goal, and he could be on his way back to his home country if he accepted the casino boss' offer.
He wasn't a coward. Why would he leave her to face danger alone?
He finally figured out what had been troubling him.
"I would be a coward if I left you here to face danger alone. You were the one who helped me get the Ganoderma Caligo, Elisa. I will not abandon you," he enunciated the last few words with conviction.
He meant to say that he felt a sense of duty to protect her as her teammate.
If only he could be honest with himself.
Elisa chuckled. "I understand your concern, but you don't need to feel guilty about leaving me here. I chose to stay because I have something important to do."
"You should take the casino boss' offer. It would be difficult for you to keep the Ganoderma Caligo safe with so many people after it," she advised him.
She had said all she needed to say and was about to walk away.
However, Gareth stepped in front of her, blocking her way.
His dark, fathomless eyes bore into her. "What do you have to do here?"
The Benett Corporation was now hers, Linda was gone, and her true identity was coming to light.
Even Mr. Carrera's five subordinates were now under her control.
He was baffled by what else she could possibly be doing here.
Elisa felt no need to answer his questions or share her plans with him.
They were now just two strangers who had once been married.
"Gareth, please stay out of my business and focus on your own. I'm leaving now. If you stay here, don't blame anyone else if you lose the Ganoderma Caligo," she uttered, her voice cold and detached.
After giving him a stern warning, she walked past him, not even glancing in his direction.
Gareth didn't try to stop her. He knew that Mr. North and his men would intervene if he tried to block her path.
Elisa was now under the protection of the casino boss and was well-respected by everyone in the casino.
"You…"
His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but he couldn't find the words to express them.
The frustrations were suffocating him, like a heavy weight pressing down on his chest. He felt like he was going to burst.
Thomas came back into the room.
He watched Elisa leave, her steps brisk and determined. Gareth's lips were a thin line; his fist clenched. He came to understand the situation he was placed in.
