Chapter 1377 Tit for Tat


    The man''s action shifted all the attention back to Elisa.


    What''s the deal with him?


    Many felt the man was not sincere when he invited Elisa for a dance. It seemed that he had an ulterior


    motive.

    Elisa furrowed her brows as she stared at the man leaving.


    Gareth''s expression was sour as he saw Elisa looking at Eden''s figure. He said suddenly, "Reluctant to


    see him leave?"


    She returned to her senses and turned to him with a confused look. "What nonsense are you saying?"


    He pressed his lips together and kept silent.


    Yet, he did not release the hand wrapped around her waist. They stood close together. Elisa suddenly


    noticed that something was off. "You can let go now."


    His frosty expression seemed to turn chilling.


    Just when Elisa expected him to release her, he walked ahead while holding her. She was forced to


    move along with him. She frowned. "What are you doing?"


    "What am I doing?" Garethughed, but it was not out of joy.


    Elisa was perplexed.


    She was bewildered but more annoyed. She could not understand why he kept acting in that manner.


    There was nothing between them. The only reason they were involved with each other was because of


    Grandma. But what was he doing?


    Gareth was tight-lipped. She felt it was a waste of her time and energy to say anything else. The man


    would never do as she said anyway. He had always done what he wanted to, whether it was when they


    were married or after the divorce.


    They passed by a man who had a woman by his side. The woman looked at Elisa up and down with an


    envious gaze.


    Elisa''s eyes shook as she pretended not to notice it. Outsiders could only see the surface. She could


    only swallow and bear everything behind closed doors.


    The event continued.


    Eden had left the crowd and went into the room.


    He was smiling brightly on stage. Yet his expression was the opposite now that he was off the stage.


    Irene called his phone before he could give orders to his subordinates.


    He thought that it was not a coincidence.


    As expected, Irene began mocking him. "I thought you had some ingenious idea. Turns out… You''re


    just hitting on Elisa. Let me ask, did she even spare you a nce? Say, if this is spread to Estia, do


    you think your subjects will hate Elisa if they hear what you did?"


    Eden narrowed his eyes with a dangerous glint shining in them. "You don''t need to tell me what to do in


    my matters. You better not do the same thing asst time, or else…!"


    However, Irene did not take his warning to heart as she scoffed. "Our status is pretty much the same.


    You should know that we are just partners. I''m not under yourmand!"


    Elisa did not perish the other night. Irene would not miss this opportunity tonight.


    Eden was enraged by her tone and said carelessly, "Let''s end this cooperation then. But let me warn


    you, if anything happens to Elisa tonight, I won''t let you go!"


    He did not wait for her reply and ended the call immediately.
