The Lawyer’s Romance in…

+10 pearls

“Mommy, I don’t want to look at that evil woman’s face anymore!” Aiden cried, shaking

Amanda’s arn and snapping her back to reality.

Amanda glanced down at her precious son. If Elias had not found him in time, then Aiden

would have been lost forever. He might even have died.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.

The only thought in her mind was the urge to immediately charge over to confront Grace.

She was able to accept the de-escalation of a situation through talk, but she could never

tolerate anyone hurting Aiden.

Just then, breakfast was done. Selina placed the dishes on the table and called out to

them, “Let’s eat. Aiden, bring your mother over for breakfast.”

Amanda calmed herself down and carried Aiden over to the dining room.

“How about you go with Miss Selina to the theme park after breakfast, Aiden?” she

suggested.

“Didn’t you say we were going shopping for my present? You lied to me!” He was very

unhappy upon realizing she had lied to him once more.

She ruffled his hair. “I didn’t. I would never lie to you. We’ll be going shopping in the

afternoon. I have something to do in the morning”

Selina chimed in to help argue Amanda’s case. “Let’s watch a movie after going to the

theme park, Aiden. The cartoon you love has released a movie.

“Yeah! You’re the best, Miss Selina!” He grinned and obediently began to eat his breakfast.

Amanda could not resist smiling as well. “You’re better with kids than I am. Is that a talent

of yours?”

“It means there’s a connection between Aiden and me. We are destined to get along.”

Selina proudly stated.

After shooting her another smile, Amanda turned her attention to her breakfast and

distractedly picked at it while her mind continued to ponder on the conversation she

overheard. Her entire being was seething with anger at Grace.

After breakfast, Amanda headed to Grace’s home at Regal Gardens.

Apparently, Regal Gardens was an area so luxurious that every unit was worth tens of

millions. There was no way Grace could have afforded a unit there. Hence, Elias must have

paid for it.

Due to how high-end the neighborhood was, the security of the area was very strict.

Amanda was only allowed in after Grace had been notified several times by the security

guard.

From the moment she arrived, she had been prepared for a battle. There was a stormy

look on her face.

Ding-dong.

She stepped up to the door to Grace’s home and rang the doorbell.

Past the door, Grace was confused by her unexpected visitor. When she saw Amanda

standing outside her door, her face twisted into an extremely fierce and ugly look.

She hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door. She wanted to know why

Amanda was there.

“Amanda, why…” she spoke as soon as the door swung open.

A loud noise echoed through the air as Amanda slapped Grace across the face.

The force of the slap forced Grace’s face to turn to the side. She was shocked. What had

she done wrong? Her cheek was burning hot, and she could even feel it swelling up.

“What are you doing? Why did you hit me?” Grace shrieked as she held a hand up to her

stinging cheek.

Instead of responding to Grace, Amanda entered Grace’s home and closed the door

behind her. She then slapped Grace across the other cheek in one hard swing.

“Ouch! Have you gone mad? What are you doing?”

Grace stumbled backward as both her cheeks turned red from the pain. There was even a

speck of blood on the corner of her lips. Still, she did not know what she had done to

deserve the slaps.

“This is your last warning, Amanda! One more slap and I’ll call the police! What right do

you have to hit me? Why have you come all the way here to attack me for no reason?”

Grace screeched.

Amanda flung her bag to the side and rolled up her sleeves as though she was about to

attack

Grace once more.

“Call the police then! Tell them how you kidnapped my son, Grace Murphy!” she roared.

Grace’s mind went blank.

The air seemed to have exploded. Grace’s eyes widened in shock as fear was painted all

over her

face. She was rendered speechless,

“Well? Cat got your tongue? Are you wondering how I found out? I could never have

imagined how evil you could be. After you found out about Aiden, the first thing you did

was try to leave him in a remote mountain so that I could never find him instead of telling

Elias about Aiden and exposing my lie. Do you think that’s all you need to do to keep Elias

ignorant of Aiden’s

existence?”

As Amanda shouted and screamed at Grace, she slowly stepped closer as her entire being

radiated with the urge to tear Grace into pieces.

Grace’s face was deathly pale as she stumbled backward until she fell onto the couch.

Thinking to put up one last struggle, she put on a face of innocence. “I don’t know what

you’re saying. When did you have a child with Elias? I didn’t know about that. I know

nothing. Why are you going after

me?”

Amanda let out a spine-chilling laugh as she slapped Grace once more.

“You don’t know about him? If you didn’t know about Aiden, would you have gone all the

way to his kindergarten just to steal a few strands of his hair? Must I spell it all out for

you? You had a paternity test done, right? If you didn’t know about him, would you have

hired someone to kidnap him? I heard every word you said in the phone call this morning.

You disgust me. Grace Murphy. Are you too afraid to own up to what you’ve done? What’s

the point of putting on an act now?”

Amanda pulled Grace up by the hair and angrily slapped her once more.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. If Aiden had not been found, he might

have died all alone in the middle of the mountain.

Grace’s eyes went wide. “You bugged my phone!”

“What if I did? Could I have heard something so interesting if I hadn’t? You act as innocent

as a baby rabbit when Elias is watching. Who could have known you’re secretly a snake?”

“You have no right to monitor my calls. This is an invasion of my privacy! I’ll sue you! I’ll

report you to the police!”

Grace felt like she was going mad. Amanda had listened in on her calls. That meant

Amanda also knew of the car accident she had arranged for Elias.

If Amanda told the truth about the car crash to Elias. his impression of her would be

absolutely destroyed.

“Go on! I’ll be waiting for your police report. I’m warning you; if you dare target Aiden

once more, I’ll kill you! Also, if anything ever happens to my son, I’ll definitely go after you

first.”

Grace roared back, “What? Are you going to come after me if he’s hit while crossing the

road?

Where’s the logic in it?”

“Yes! That’s right! No matter what happens to him, I’ll suspect you first, so stay far away

from him!TM

Amanda let go of Grace’s hair. Strands of long hair were left behind between her fingers.

With a look of disdain, she dusted them off her hands.

She then picked up her bag and got ready to leave. Every moment spent in this home

revolted her.
