Elisa immediately grabbed a napkin and started to dab at the juice stains on Nicole's dress. "I'm incredibly sorry, Ms. Tabor. I've ruined your clothes. I think you had better come with me to my room to change. I have some clean clothes that you can wear. After you've changed, we can come back and yell at Gareth!"

Gareth had done well.

Nicole was now convinced that Elisa was trying to get her to slip up. But if she refused, wouldn't that also look suspicious?

She hesitated before agreeing, "I'm sorry for troubling you, Ms. Benett."

Elisa promptly brought Nicole to her room.

As for Gareth.

Eden had arrived where they were. Gareth stepped towards him.

Eden smirked at Gareth. "Why, look here. Does the great Mr. Wickam have something to say to me?"


"Stay away from her." Gareth glared at Eden. He didn't care who Eden was. Whoever he was, he was nothing in Gareth's eyes.

Eden chortled as if he had heard the funniest joke. "I seem to remember the both of you being divorced."

"And so what?" Gareth sneered at him.

No one could tell him what to do.

Eden did not take Gareth's warning to heart. He continued smirking. "There's a big difference between being married and divorced. If you're still married, you'd be considered her husband. But now that you're divorced, what are you?"

Eden had no problems showing his disregard for Gareth.

Gareth narrowed his eyes. Eden had touched a sore point.

Eden saw every flicker of expression in Gareth's eyes.

Before a fight could break out between them, Thomas appeared. As Gareth had ordered, Thomas had brought him a deck of cards. Realizing Elisa and Nicole were absent, he asked, "Where did Ms. Benett and Ms. Tabor go?"

Did Ms. Benett make her move?

If she did, Mr. Wickam wouldn't be standing here alone. Then he noticed Eden standing close by.

He immediately understood.

There were some complications. Elisa was dealing with Nicole, while Gareth was handling Eden.
