Chapter 1748 But Elisa Didn't Refute Him
Before Eliza flared up, Gareth spoke up sarcastically with a wide grin. "I didn't expect all of you to be here."
Rachel felt a chill down her spine when she saw Gareth's grin, but she quickly suppressed her fluster because this matter concerned Elisa. She held her head up as her anger soon overcame the strange feeling.
"What brings you here? Don't forget that you and Elisa have divorced. Stop pestering her like a shameless scumbag." Rachel retorted.
Gareth disregarded Rachel's contempt and fixed his gaze on Elisa.
Elisa wasn't intimidated by his glare. "Excuse me, Mr. Wickham. This is my place, and I didn't invite you. I hope you won't commit trespass."
"Are you threatening me?" Gareth drew closer to Elisa and asked in his usual, domineering tone. His tall figure cast a shadow over Elisa, but the latter remained fearless.
Rachel was thrilled to see Elisa finally step up her game.
Although Rachel would criticize Gareth behind his back, she was intimidated when faced with him. Before she could help Elisa speak up, Elisa blurted hostilely, "I won't call it a threat. You're not welcome here, Gareth. Please stop embarrassing yourself." Before Eliza flared up, Gareth spoke up sarcastically with a wide grin. "I didn't expect all of you to be here."
"What about him then?" Gareth mentioned Will, whom he had ignored from the start.
He jerked his chin in Will's direction with his eyes filled with disdain. He didn't even bother to spare a glance at Will.
"Are you guys together already? Are you so desperate for a man?" Gareth's remark was extremely harsh. He noticed the toiletries on the tea table and a suitcase, which signified that Gareth was going to live together with Elisa.
No one could guarantee a man and a woman who lived under the same roof would not develop feelings for each other.
Despite his illness, Gareth ignored Jeremy's obstruction and came to find Elisa, only to witness such a scene. How could he accept it?
"Mr. Wickam, don't you think it's rude to say such words to a lady?" Will spoke up timely. He didn't interfere just now because he rather allowed Elisa to resolve the situation herself. However, he couldn't stand Gareth's harassment and questioning.
Gareth shot a glare at Will. The atmosphere became more tense as the two men's gazes met.
Rachel felt as if a war was about to unfold…
"I'm not talking to you. Didn't your old man teach you not to interrupt when others talk and not to be a third wheel? I should visit Mrs. Darcey someday to find out if she taught you these or if you are self- taught." Gareth was merciless with his sharp tongue.
On the other hand, Will was not a pushover and retorted with a smirk, "Do you and Elisa still have feelings for each other? You're humorous as always, Mr. Wickam."
Will's remark pierced Gareth's heart like a sharp knife, but Gareth remained unaffected on the surface. He wasn't bothered by Will's comment because he wasn't that fragile to be hurt by it. However, what unnerved him was that Elisa didn't refute him!
