No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Since Brie was arranged to be by her side, she had been observing and watching her.

Brie had done everything she was supposed to and carried herself with composure and indifference. She was meticulous in handling matters.

Elisa couldn't understand why someone like Brie, who completed all her tasks perfectly, would kneel before her.

Before Elisa could ask, Brie had already lowered her head and spoke first.

Brie pleaded hoarsely, "Miss Bennet, could you please help me? Rumors are circulating in the casino about you and Mr. Knowles. It's all because of what I said. I didn't know about the relationship between you and him. I'm sorry. Mr. Knowles wants to send me away to protect you, but I don't want to leave. Please, could you plead with Mr. Knowles for me? He will definitely listen to you..."

Upon her confession, Elisa fell silent. She hadn't expected Brie to request her help.

Nor did she expect that such a composed person would lose control in matters of love.

But she understood that no one was perfect, and everyone was prone to make mistakes from time to time.

The one thing she couldn't stand was others begging her, especially when this person was her uncle's trusted confidant.

"It's just a small matter. Don't worry, I will try to talk to my uncle..." Elisa tried to assure her worries but was interrupted by North's cold voice.

"What do you mean by a small matter? Your reputation has been damaged because of her. How can that be considered a small matter?"

As Elisa was about to help Brie up, she heard North's indifferent voice.

Elisa and Brie both instinctively turned their heads toward him.

Brie hadn't expected that after working together for so many years, North would be so merciless.

Were all the bonds between them fake?

Elisa, too, hadn't expected her partner, North, to be so cold-hearted. She didn't think he would be able to watch Brie leave without pleading for Mr. Knowles' better judgment on her behalf.

Elisa was surprised but also noticed North's dark gaze.

There was something familiar about the look in his eyes. Her thoughts flicked to Gareth for a second, and she started wondering if she might be delirious for mistaking North for Gareth.

"How could you be so heartless after working together for so many years? If you don't want to help, don't interfere with my decisions!" Elisa spoke directly.

After saying that, she didn't look at North and left him with the sight of her back.

But while talking to Brie, her tone softened slightly, "I understand you didn't know, and I don't blame you. Don't worry, I will talk to my uncle about it."

She could have chosen not to help, but after giving it some thought, she couldn't help but feel sympathy as they were both women. Moreover, she could see Brie's feelings for her uncle. That's why she decided to help.
