No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) -
Chapter 1936
Chapter 1936 Failed Mediation
It could be considered a greeting of sorts.
However, Edith clearly wasn't buying it; her gaze remained sharp and unwavering, fixated on Elisa as though she
had singled her out as prey.
It wasn't entirely her fault; after all, they had a heated disagreement before entering the courtroom. Edith had
even tried to dissuade Elisa just before the trial began.
“If you're willing to drop the lawsuit now, the Grayson family will be there to support you in the future. In other
words, our family would owe you a favor,” Edith had stated during their last mediation session before the court
proceedings.
Over the years, the Grayson family's standing might not have been as illustrious as before, but they still held a
considerable amount of influence. Many were willing to be indebted to the Grayson family, given the chance.
Elisa, however, remained unfazed.
She would much rather send Paul into prison than be owed a favor by the Graysons.
She had come too far to change her mind. It would be unjust to her and Gareth, considering the hardships they had
endured during this ordeal. It would also be unfair to Bella and Julia, who had carried their burdens alongside them.
A faint smile curled upon Elisa's lips as she replied, “Thank you, Mrs. Grayson, but there are certain things I must
see through.”
Seeing Elisa's resolute and unyielding demeanor, even Edith couldn't help but vent her frustration. “I just don't
understand why you're so determined to bring Paul to justice. Yes, he made a mistake, but can't you forgive him just
this once?”
Edith's voice quivered, and her tone softened. “Paul has been with the company for many years, and although he
may not have made substantial contributions, he has put in years of hard work.”
Edith abandoned her facade as a wealthy lady and earnestly pleaded.
Indeed, Paul had been a dedicated contributor to the company in his early years. But later, he had spiraled into
arrogance and laid claim to what was never meant to be his.
It was Paul himself who had brought about his current situation, inching himself into the abyss.
There was no one else to blame.
Elisa regarded Edith with a mixture of puzzlement and pity in her eyes.
She voiced her thoughts, saying, “A man who is disloyal to his family lacks the most fundamental sense of
responsibility. How can we expect him to behave responsibly in society? Mrs. Grayson, why do you insist on
defending him?”
Edith opened her mouth to respond but found herself momentarily speechless.
“Furthermore,” Elisa added with a smile, “Haven't you already persuaded Rochelle to take full responsibility? What
is there to be concerned about?”
Edith instinctively took a half step back, surprised that Elisa was privy to this information.
It was evident that this young lady possessed far more extensive resources and connections than Edith had
anticipated—an adversary to be reckoned with.
Without Edith's interference, Elisa's case proceeded smoothly to the courtroom.
Edith's disdain was well-founded, but Elisa had no inclination to explain herself.
After all, everyone had their own perspective.
After years of enduring what Paul had done to her and the company, they had reached an insurmountable impasse.
This was the only recourse.
“The court is now in session.”
As the judge's pronouncement echoed through the courtroom, it signaled the end of any hope for mediation and
the commencement of the legal process.
Edith closed her eyes, silently offering her prayers.
Rochelle and Paul were escorted in, both in handcuffs.
Compared to their previous encounter, Rochelle appeared considerably more spirited.
