As soon as Monica saw Darren, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Gareth might not listen to his mother, but he might give in to his grandfather.
Unexpectedly, it was not the case this time.
In a firm and calm voice, Gareth insisted, “I will not marry her.”
Darren glared at him furiously. “W-We have already agreed upon that! Are you going against our
agreement?”
“That’s right.” Gareth looked at his grandfather icily. “I will not marry a liar.”
“You– What liar?” He gritted his teeth. “You brat! Do you know that if you don’t marry her, our
collaboration with Benett Corporation–”
At this point, Gareth cut off the rest of his sentence. “They are not the only people we can work with,
you know.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarren eyed Gareth shrewdly. “What do you mean?”
He supported the marriage mainly due to Benett Corporation’s expertise.
It was apparent to him that Gareth was hinting at something; even Monica turned to look at her son.
The main reason she liked Linda was because of her family background. On top of that, she was not a
massive fan of Elisa. To her, Linda was a lot smarter than Elisa.
However, if they could find an alternative, even Linda was not good enough for Gareth.
Gareth explained calmly, “I have already started our own wood industry.”
Both Darren and Monica were surprised to hear that. “You?”
There was no change in Gareth’s icy expression at all. In fact, the iciness was also apparent in his
tone. “Benett Corporation takes a lot of commission. Since we are no worse than them, it’s better to
handle it ourselves.”
Darren frowned deeply. “Show me!”

Elisa and Rachel stayed home for an entire day. Elisa felt bored since she had not gone out in days.
She looked at Rachel exasperatedly. “I’m not as weak as you think. We can totally take a walk outside.”
“You need at least a hundred days to completely recover from sprains, let alone breaking your ribs!
What are you thinking? You can’t do that. When you’ve fully recovered, we can take as many walks as
you want.”
Elisa was amused to see her friend’s reaction, but she was also touched by Rachel’s care for her.
I’m so lucky to have a friend like her! Perhaps my good luck with my friends makes up for my bad luck
with my family.
“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you,” she replied helplessly.
Rachel heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was also pretty bored, but she knew they couldn’t go
out because of Elisa’s injuries.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It isn’t that boring after all. We can chat about work and watch some movies at home. There are so
many things we can do together!”
Elisa nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, you are right.”
Though she was grateful to Rachel, she didn’t say it out loud. Some friends might be uncomfortable
with that, and Rachel was such a friend.
While they were joking with each other, the doorbell rang.
Rachel looked at Elisa in surprise. “Are you expecting a visitor?”
She assumed that Elisa was notified of the visit. However, after seeing Elisa getting up with a shake of
her head, she quickly said, “Don’t move. I’ll take a look first.”
Elisa nodded without any other comments.
When Rachel looked through the peephole, she finally realized who the visitor was.
