We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 1929 Not A Chance

“As for marriage, if a couple has long been estranged, why insist on painfully maintaining it? Marriage is not a matter for one person alone.”

I appreciate your sentiment, but I cannot agree with it.

Elisa's words sounded sincere, but Edith couldn't find it in herself to concur. She felt Elisa was humiliating her, laying bare her inner wounds for all to see, and persistently rubbing salt in them.

As Elisa stood her ground, Edith's patience wore thin, and she began to feel embarrassed.

Eventually, she chose to be straightforward.

She pushed her caffè mocha away and remarked, “Ms. Benett, this is a family matter. Is it absolutely necessary for you to be involved?”

Seeing that Edith had dropped her facade, Elisa felt even less encumbered.

She set her cup down and fixed Edith with an unyielding gaze. “Mrs. Grayson, my journey to this point has been far from easy. Throughout it, I've clung to a principle. Do you know what it is?”

Edith remained silent, waiting for Elisa to continue.

Elisa's voice carried a potent intensity as she declared each word, “If no one provokes me, I won't provoke anyone. But if anyone dares to provoke me, I will respond a hundredfold!”

She continued, “This isn't just about your family affairs, Mrs. Grayson. Paul is attempting to harm me. Do you think you can simply brush this off? Not a chance.” Elisa's smile remained sweet, but her words were sharp and relentless.

Edith's complexion turned pale.

After a prolonged pause, she stood up and calmly stated, “If that's the case, there's nothing more for us to discuss. I'll see you in court.”


Edith left some money on the table and departed.

Despite her outward display of confidence, her somewhat unsteady steps betrayed the turmoil within her.

While she appeared resolute, she was actually cornered.

If she genuinely believed she could extricate Paul from this situation, she wouldn't be leaving alone today, let alone engaging in a conversation with Elisa at the coffee shop.

Ultimately, she was out of options.

Elisa remained seated, in no hurry to leave, her gaze fixed on the window.

Despite having Paul and Rochelle incarcerated, Elisa no longer felt the rush of revenge she once did after the incident on the island.

Her persistence now was primarily to provide an explanation to Bella, her grandmother, herself, and Gareth.

To her, Edith was a pitiable figure, ensnared in a lifelong marriage.

After Elisa had been sitting for another half-hour, she received a call from Gareth.

His voice came from the other end of the line. “How's it going? Are you guys still talking?”
