Gareth sat on his sofa, looking nonchalant. But he could still see them if he wanted to.
“Hurry. Open it up.”
Elisa stopped hesitating and opened up the box slowly.
She was stunned when she saw the content of the box. The look in her eyes froze on the spot.
Gareth was now silently studying Elisa from the corner of his eyes.
He pursed his lips and turned slightly to see Elisa clearer.
He probably didn’t know that he was anxious himself too.
Elisa’s face turned pale white.
Gareth knew precisely how to press her buttons.
She had never expected Gareth to humiliate her this way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe could not help but recall what had happened two years ago.
They had attended a dinner that night. Their mission was to pretend to be a model couple in front of outsiders.
Gareth had purposely gotten her a pair of uncomfortable heels that night.
Elisa’s feet had gotten red and swollen from the heels. She could not help but take off her heels right after she
entered the lounge room to rest her swollen feet.
When Gareth saw her red and swollen feet, he merely snorted.
“You can’t even bear this? Are all women weak like you?”
Elisa frowned lightly. But she quickly undid the pout on her face and spoke gently to the man. “Gareth, I feel
uncomfortable in this pair of heels. Can you get me a pair of Rene Caovilla’s, please?”
Only a pair of Rene Caovilla’s would match her gown that night.
Gareth scoffed. “A pair of Rene Caovilla’s?”
His tone was extremely sardonic as he said the two words ‘Rene Caovilla’s.’ He continued even after he saw the
color drain out of her face. “Do you think you are worthy of it?”
Elisa’s lips quivered upon hearing his mocking remarks.
After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lips and said shyly, “I just want to change into another pair of heels. I
worry I might embarrass you if I cannot walk properly later.”
Gareth snorted coldly in reply, “Rene Caovilla’s are exclusive items meant for high-class people. You are not worthy
of it.”
Gareth turned around to leave as soon as he finished speaking. But he suddenly stopped when he reached the door
and added, “Stop dreaming about things you are not worthy of and remember to keep to your stature.”
Then, he left Elisa on the sofa, trembling.
He was right. She could only be a clown forever. She will never be worthy of Gareth. She was a sinner who did not

“The heels look good. You had put some thought into choosing that pair for her.” Julia was still staring at the pair of
heels in Elisa’s hand. She was engrossed in her thoughts, thinking that her grandchild had finally done something
right for Elisa. She did not notice Elisa ruminating on her memories.
Vincent was amused. “Don’t you know that men shouldn’t buy women’s footwear as a gift? Do you know what will
happen if you gift them footwear?”
Gareth frowned lightly.
Vincent did not notice Julia’s puzzled look. But he saw the confusion in Gareth’s eyes. He grinned at Gareth and
asked, “Do you want to know?”
Gareth kept mum with a sullen face. Vincent teased, “I’m not going to tell you!”
It was rumored that if a man gifted his woman footwear, she would leave the man.
Gareth’s face darkened. He turned around, glanced at Elisa, and noticed that something was off about her.
Elisa was now trembling violently.
