Chapter 768

It didn’t take Gareth much time to chase up Elisa since she was on foot.

He did not bother calling her to stop when he saw her. He merely increased his pace, walked towards

her, and grabbed her wrist.

Elisa could no longer walk forward at that instance.

She glowered in response. Her brows snapped together as she uttered, “Let me go.”

The icy look in Elisa’s eyes made Gareth freeze for a moment. But he did not let her go. Instead, he

stared into her eyes and asked calmly, “Why.”

“Why?” Elisa scorned. “You said those mean words and did those hurtful things. And now you’re asking

me why?”

Did he want her to go through the whole story with him again about how he humiliated her?

Elisa found him unbelievable.

Gareth frowned hard. He had no idea what Elisa was alluding to.

He tried to suppress his rising annoyance and held onto Elisa’s wrist. He spoke in a low voice, “What

on earth do you want.”

What do I want?

Elisa snorted coldly. The annoyance and hatred seething within her increased dramatically. “How could

you even get yourself to ask that question?”

Gareth’s lips hardened into a thin line. His eyes tightened around her figure.



“Be specific.”

Elisa looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Has he forgotten? Or did he want to disgrace her again by making her recount those humiliating

events? How could he do that to her?

Elisa ignored his question and tried to wriggle free from his grasp. But she could not. She frowned hard

and demanded coldly, “Let me go! We should go our separate ways and stop seeing each other. We

are done with the agreement!”

She sounded so firm that it made Gareth feel that she was as heartless as a stone monument.

Nevertheless, Elisa was unable to break free from this man’s grasp. So she raised her leg and kicked

him in the groin.

Gareth dodged the kick while his grasp was still on her wrist. Elisa stood no chance at all in freeing

herself from Gareth.

“Are you done yet?”

Gareth’s eyebrows creased in annoyance. “I will not let you go until you explain it to me clearly.”

Elisa sneered, “Right. I shall tell you then, and you can go on and humiliate me again! Fine!”

So Elisa recounted the events that occurred at the last banquet once more.

Gareth’s pupils shrank as he heard Elisa’s story.

Elisa scoffed, “I do not need you to keep reminding me who I am. I know what I’m worthy of and what

I’m not. You don’t have to humiliate me publicly with your actions. Nevertheless, you have won.”

Gareth opened his mouth thoughtfully to speak but closed it again.

Elisa quickly struggled off him and left while he was distracted.

She was at the Wickam Manor. It was halfway up the mountain, so no car would ever pass by. If Elisa

wanted to go home, she would have to walk down the mountain first, then call a cab.

She did not wish to have anything to do with Gareth anymore or talk to him, so she just walked away.

Gareth stood still with his lips pursed into a thin line.

He had already forgotten about that incident. But with Elisa’s recollection of the events, he finally

remembered.

He watched her leave with cold determination. His frown deepened as the look on his face became

bleaker.

In the end, he decided not to chase after her.

However, soon, he heard the sound of footsteps.

Vincent stopped at Gareth’s side. He took a glance at the surroundings but did not see anyone. He

asked, “Where is she? Why are you alone?”

Then, he looked around again. But he did not see a single shadow. He turned towards Gareth

helplessly once more.
