We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Freedom at Last
Gareth walked outside without a single word, but Monica pulled his arm, stopping him in his steps.

“Gareth.”

“Yes?”

“Are you really going to proceed with the divorce?”

Gareth looked at her calmly. “It was a bombastic piece of news today. If I don’t proceed with it, I’ll be

the laughing stock of the entire city. How can I carry on with business after that?”

Monica’s face darkened. “So you have to give up on this project.”

Gareth snorted coldly. “And Will will get all the benefits without doing anything.”

Even though the project had nothing to do with the relationship between Gareth and Elisa, Gareth did

not have a good reputation before this. If he was to go through a divorce at this time, other people

would speculate his abilities and integrity.

However, Will was different; even though he fooled around, he was still single.

On the other hand, anyone could tell that Linda was the cause of their divorce.

It was one thing to be sleeping around when one was single, but an entirely different matter when one

cheated on their partner in marriage.

Monica gritted her teeth resentfully. “Damn it, Elisa! No, this thing can’t be settled like this! I–”

“Mom,” Gareth interrupted coldly in a low voice after seeing that Monica was about to continue

speaking. “Just let this matter slide for now. Having one less project wouldn’t hurt our business anyway,

and even if I get divorced, it doesn’t mean I will lose to Will.”

She opened her mouth wordlessly. Though she might sometimes be quite full of herself, she always

listened to her son’s instructions. After seeing that he had made up his mind, she also decided not to

pester Elisa any further.

“I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll say goodbye for now.”

Looking at his leaving figure, Monica held a grudge against Elisa.




…

Meanwhile, it was already 10 PM when Elisa reached home.

After packing up some stuff, she lay in her bed.

Perhaps it was because she had something important to attend to that she kept tossing around in bed.

Just when she was half-asleep, the alarm clock rang.

She opened her eyes groggily with a slight throbbing of pain in her head.

Because of that, she shut her eyes for a bit longer before getting of bed.

Then, she went on with her daily routine – brushed up, had breakfast, put on makeup, and changed,

with nothing amiss. By the time she walked out of the door, she was already the exquisitely dressed

Elisa.

The dark circles under her eyes had already been hidden by her concealer.

When Gareth arrived at nine in the morning, he felt as if something was blocking his arteries when he

saw her good looks.

She smiled at him. “Good morning! Have you taken your breakfast, Mr. Wickam?”

“If I said I hadn’t eaten anything; would you cook something for me?” he mocked sarcastically.

“I’m sure that cousin of mine would make it for you,” she hinted with a smile.

Without another word, he walked into the office.

There were many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau, perhaps some paparazzi were waiting for their

arrival in the dark. After all, it was a big scoop – the president of Wickam Group was about to get a

divorce. Everyone was waiting for the latest gossip.

Nevertheless, since he held a rather powerful position, his request was prioritized. Their divorce was

soon under way.

When Gareth saw Elisa sign the agreement without any hesitation, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

However, he merely pursed his lips and signed his share without any comment.

The person in charge of their divorce was also quite nervous. Since it was a huge scandal, most people

had heard about the news. Knowing that Gareth was most likely in a foul mood, everyone was afraid of

offending him.




At this critical point, no one dared to antagonize him.

When all the agreements were signed and the divorce settlement was issued, Elisa’s tensed

expression eased up, and she finally smiled.

Holding the divorce statement in her hand gingerly, she thought, I’m finally free after three years of

imprisonment.
