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.
