Chapter 1446 Do You Have a Peculiar Fondness for Being Rejected?
Although Nicole''s reputation was in ruins, she had no intention of exposing the person who had been
aiding her in the dark.
Elisa arched an eyebrow.
Who was this mysterious individual supporting Nicole, and what was their background? It was
remarkable that Nicole could disy such fearlessness!
At that moment, a man stepped forward unexpectedly.
All eyes turned toward him.
Elisa furrowed her brows even deeper. She recognized him. He was the man who had apanied
Nicole at the banquet.
He positioned himself before Nicole, shielding her, and locked eyes with Gareth, radiating disdain.
"Nicole is mine. I won''t allow you to bully her like this."
Nicole was taken aback but made no effort to push Aaron away.
In that instant, she felt utterly powerless.
If Aaron could lend her assistance, why not make use of it?
Elisa scrutinized the man, assessing him with a discerning gaze.
Aaron had only appeared by Nicole''s side on two asions. He wouldn''t have exposed himself so
directly if he was the mastermind behind her.
However, his audacious words suggested that he possessed the necessary capability.
Without hesitation, Gareth''s voice cut through the air, cold and razor-sharp. "Since you show no fear of
death, we shall dly oblige."
Nicole''s expression underwent a dramatic change. "What are you nning to do?"
Her concern was not for Aaron''s life but rather the dreadful actions Gareth might take.
Gareth had always been resourceful and audacious, while she...
Before she could dwell on it further, Thomas and his men stormed into the room!
Elisa furrowed, hesitating momentarily, considering Gareth''s penchant for restraint and that they were
in unfamiliar territory. She neither made a move nor spoke.

On the other hand, Aaron turned his gaze towards Nicole, a gentle smile ying at the corners of his
lips, "Don''t be afraid."
Nicole couldn''t believe her ears. Seriously?! Amid this dire situation, Aaron''s attempt atforting her
was to ask her not to be afraid? She should''ve known he was a dodgy and unreliable man!
Amidst Nicole''s struggles and screams, Thomas and his men, disregarding all dignity, forcefully
apprehended her and Aaron.
Soon, only Gareth and Elisa remained in the room.
Gareth extended his hand toward Elisa.
Elisa immediately furrowed her brow. "What for?"
"Give me your phone," Gareth''s intent was clear.
Elisa refused and responded, "What benefit is there for you in exposing Nicole? Right now, you need to
find out who is behind her. If you expose everything outright, you won''t..."
"Didn''t she plot against me? She deserved this punishment."
Gareth coldly interrupted Elisa before she could finish her sentence.
He never showed mercy, especially to those who schemed against him. To Gareth, anyone who dared
to plot against him should bear the consequences of their actions.
"Very well then, as you say, Nicole is plotting against you." Elisa refrained from saying anything further.
After all, she already possessed the footage and had no fear of its exposure, even if it could damage
her reputation.
Without waiting for Gareth to respond, she exited the private room.
As soon as she left, Eden called her.
Eden''s voice came through the phone, filled with concern. "Hey, did you just have a heated argument?
Are you feeling down? If you need someone to talk to, I''m here for you. We can grab a drink downstairs
and sort things out. There''s nothing important happening right now. What do you say?"
Elisa sighed, slightly annoyed by Eden''s relentless questioning. She couldn''t believe Eden was
monitoring her again!
With a touch of frost in her voice, she replied, "I''ve realized that even if I block your number, you''ll still
manage to find a way to contact me. Do you have a peculiar fondness for being rejected?"
