StarNovelChapter 239 Don’t Blame Me for Getting There First Gareth pursed his lips. “Grandpa and mom have released the statement.”
Linda shivered, then glanced at Gareth. She opened her mouth to speak, but was at a loss for words.
Gareth spoke calmly, “I owe you this. But whatever happened today was not within my expectations.
Do give me two months to deal with a few things.”
Linda’s eyes waved slightly. “Garry, you…”
She seemed like she did not know what to say. In the end, Gareth interrupted her. He looked at Linda’s
newly bandaged leg and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
Linda shook her head. “It’s not like I had an operation. It’s just minor scratches. They made a huge fuss
over it. I’m fine. Look.”
Linda insisted. But she took in a deep, loud gasp from raising her left leg to show it to Gareth.

Gareth did not move because he was afraid that he would touch her wound. “Put your leg down.”
Linda said nothing anymore. She complied and relaxed her leg.
Not long after, the others walked in. When Linda saw Darren, she asked in a surprised tone. “Grandpa,
why have you come too? It’s just a minor wound. It’s nothing to worry about.”
Darren stepped forward and sighed helplessly. “Girl, I feel sorry for you. If I had released the statement
earlier, your marriage with Gareth wouldn’t have been postponed for so long!”
Monica’s eyes were full of guilt. “Linda, it is all my fault. You are a good girl. This brat, however!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand once more to hit Gareth. But Linda stopped her
with a startled look on her face. “Aunty!”
Rose quickly held Monica’s arm. “Mrs. Wickam, don’t hit him anymore. You have already slapped him
twice!”
Linda was shocked. “Slapped him twice…”
She looked at Gareth’s face. She had noticed that his cheeks were a little red just now. She did not
know why earlier. It turns out that he was slapped…
Gareth was a loved son. He had never been hit before. But now, his mother had hit him because of her.
It was apparent how much the Wickam family cared about her, and wanted her to be their
granddaughter-in-law.
She felt satisfied at that moment. Her mother was right. The Wickam family will only feel guiltier if she
had a relapse!
Now, Gareth’s attitude towards her had totally changed!
But this method can only be used once. It will not be effective anymore if they keep using it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe must cherish this opportunity and plan out carefully what she should do in the next two months.
She cannot let the Wickam family get tired of her.
At the same time, many people were discussing about them after the statement was released.
Many mentioned Elisa and made her a hot topic. It was as if they were eagerly waiting for her downfall.
Will Darcey, too, did not sleep when he saw the statement. His assistant looked at him and asked, “Mr.
Darcey, the Wickam Group’s shares might drop a little after they release this statement now.”
Will smiled slightly. “But isn’t Linda currently a hospital patient? Of course, they’d have to do this to
continue their business with the Benett family. Their loss is just temporary. After this statement, their
loss will not be much.”
The assistant frowned. But he could only nod. Will signed the last document on his desk, then got up
and looked downstairs. His smile widened. “Well, since they have pushed Elisa further, they cannot
blame me for getting there first.”
