We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 150 Whose Plan Is This
Linda had a panicked gaze and tugged Shirley’s hand, wanting to say something. However, Shirley insisted, “Have you forgotten that you saved Gareth’s life? The Wickam family should not have disregarded your good deed in public!”
However, Shirley did not notice a sly glint in Linda’s eyes. She was doing exactly whatt Linda wanted.
Shirley had unwittingly become Linda’s pawn. Linda thought Shirley’s presence had saved her a lot of trouble.
As Linda was about to pretend to stop Shirley, Shirley headed straight toward Julia. “Old Madam Wickam.”
Julia turned around and saw Shirley walking toward her with a smile. Seeing her smile, Julia smiled back and said, “Ms. Lowe, what’s the matter?”

Many guests began watching Shirley and Julia. They were not interested in the gourmet delicacies on the table. They had those so frequently that they were sick of them.
Instead, they were more interested in the scene before them and hoped it would unfold dramatically.
One should know that Shirley was Linda’s best friend and was close. Thus, Shirley could not bear seeing Linda suffer indignity. The crowd soon noticed Shirley and Linda whispering amongst themselves, and Linda seemed in disagreement about something. Thus, they were curious to hear what Shirley would say to Julia.
Shirley chuckled and nodded. “Yes, there is something that I would like to speak to you about. I believe you will be curious once you hear about it. It will interest all the guests too.”
Gareth frowned and turned to Elisa. However, Elisa only glanced at Shirley briefly before looking away and remained undisturbed as she sat beside Julia.
All this while, Elisa never bothered to look at Gareth. That infuriated Gareth, prompting his expression to darken further.
Julia did not want Shirley to continue speaking, but she could not stop her in this situation. Thus, she had no choice but to smile and say, “What is this matter that I would be curious about?”
Shirley smiled. “I heard from Linda that she prepared your birthday present on the same day as Elisa. Furthermore, the present costs a hefty sum. Family members tend to think similarly. I wonder if you would like both of their presents.”
Isn’t she asking Old Madam Wickam to compare the gifts?
Most of the guests could not help but purse their lips. One of the guests complained, “Isn’t Ms. Lowe being childish?”
Someone beside him chuckled. “Is this childish? It is a tactic to embarrass her opponent. Since Shirley dared to say this, it means she knows Elisa’s present is not as good as Linda’s. Once the presents are brought out, everyone would think there is something wrong with Elisa. Would you still think it is childish then?”
