Chapter 218 Otherwise, I’ll Flatten This Place Tonight!

Yacob drove Elias around in search of Amanda, as they still needed some time to pinpoint

her location via her phone.

Elias’ expression was completely serious. All he could think about was how pitiful Amanda

seemed while crying in the parking lot, and he wondered if he had been too harsh with his

words. But if he weren’t harsh with Amanda, the cavesdropping Jack,would not believe

him, and he would not be able to use Jack like how he planned.

Elias looked out the window at the quiet street. It was late at night, so where could she be,

and why did she not return home? Could she be hiding somewhere, crying her heart out?

With his knowledge of Amanda, that seemed to happen quite frequently.

At that thought. Elias felt a pang in his heart, and his thick eyelashes trembled.

When Yacob saw his boss’ worried expression through the rearview mirror, he comforted,

“Mr. Winters, don’t worry. We’ve already begun tracking her phone, so I’m sure we will get

the results very soon.”

Just as Yacob was speaking, his phone rang, and he answered it with a serious expression.

It seemed like they had found where Amanda’s phone was located.

After hanging up. Yacob turned the car around and headed in another direction. “We’ve

found her. They say she was at a bar an hour ago, and her current location is at Galaxy

Bay,” Yacob explained.

Galaxy Bay? Elias’ expression instantly turned grim as he realized that was where Simon

was living. Could they be…

With his fists clenched, Elias pursed his lips and ordered. “Faster. Drive faster!”

“Roger that!” Yacob stomped on the accelerator.

Since Amanda was with Simon, it was natural for Elias to be anxious, but what confused

Yacob was that his boss had previously mentioned letting go of Amanda, so why was he so

worked up about which man she was with now? Yacob felt at a loss for words.

At Galaxy Bay.

Simon watched Amanda sleeping and listened to her mumbling. When he saw her frown,

he could not hold back his desire to hold her hand. “I said I can protect you, but why won’t

you give me a chance to do so? Why don’t you believe that I like you?”

The truth was that Simon discovered he seemed to have fallen in love with Amanda at

some point. Saying they could get married and develop feelings later was just an excuse

back then. He wanted to marry Amanda and live a life with her. That was it.

Suddenly, the sleeping Amanda began talking in her sleep again while tightly clutching

Simon’s hand. “Don’t… Don’t go, please… Don’t go, Mom. Don’t leave me alone. Don’t go.

Mom”

She was like a helpless child, softly mumbling as tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.

The sight of her took Simon by surprise because he did not expect her to start crying. He

grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.

At that moment, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from outside, causing him to

frown. Who would come at such a late hour?

The doorbell rang again, sounding more anxious than the previous time like it was rushing

the person

inside.

Frowning, Simon headed downstairs to the entrance and looked through the video doorbell

to see who was outside. Elias Winters? How did he find out Amanda’s here so quickly?

Ha…

However, Simon chose not to open the door and instead used the intercom. “Go home.

Amanda’s drunk and can’t go home now. She’s sleeping. I’ll send her home tomorrow.”

Outside, Elias was suddenly infuriated and slammed his fist on the door, roaring. I’m

warning you! Return Amanda to me, or I’ll flatten this place tonight!”

Simon, however, was unfazed. He chuckled and stated, “So be it. Let me see how strong

you are.”

Elias went straight toward the car, planning to drive it through the door.

Unexpectedly, he heard Simon’s voice coming through the intercom. “I wanted to ask

what you did to Amanda to make her this way. She’s having dreams tonight, scolding you

and asking you to leave. She says she never wants to see you again and called you a se

mbag. I knew you were a sc*mbag long ago, but she seemed very sad. What did you do to

her?”

The man’s footsteps stopped as his tall figure froze in his spot. After almost an eternity,

Elias ordered. “Send Amanda home tomorrow. If you dare to touch her tonight, I’ll kill you

tomorrow.”

Once he was done, he headed for the car with Yacob following behind him, calling. “Mr.

Winters?”

“Let’s go home, the man coldly instructed before getting in the back seat.

Yacob was stunned for a moment. Why are we suddenly leaving now that we have found

Amanda?

But as Elias’ bodyguards, it was not his place to say anything. Yacob had to do as his boss

said, so he got in the driver’s seat and slowly drove away.

Back inside, Simon watched Elias leave and could not help but feel curious about what

happened between the two and what made the furious Elias suddenly calm down and

actually leave without doing anything.

If it had been in the past, it was impossible for Elias not to start a fight, and he might even

drive the car into the door, but now….

Simon unconsciously glanced upstairs, guessing an irrevocable conflict must have broken

out between the

two.

It was past 10.00AM the next day when Amanda woke up with a migraine from being

drunk last night. Fortunately, she had drunk some peppermint tea, so her headache was

less severe.

While sitting up in a daze, she looked at the decor around her. This… does not look like

home. Is this a hotel? But it looks familiar.

It was until the room’s door was pushed open and Simon came in with some peppermint

tea that she finally realized where she was.

So, this is Galaxy Bay

“Simon? Why am I here?” She could vaguely remember getting drunk at a bar last night

but could not remember anything that transpired after that.

After giving her the tea, Simon explained, “Drink this. It’s peppermint tea. Your headache

will get better after drinking this.”

Stunned, Amanda took the tea and finished it in one go because she was quite thirsty.

“Thank you.

Simon sat on the side. When he saw she had sobered up. he asked, “What happened last

night? Why did you go to the bar and get drunk? I saw you when my friends and I went

there to have something to drink. You were already drunk then, so I brought you home.”

“Oh… So that’s what happened…” Amanda’s gaze suddenly dimmed again. That was

because she unconsciously recalled the things Elias said at the parking lot. Every word

was harsher and more hurtful than the last.

Her eyes could not help but be filled with tears. It was as if she had returned to the

suffocating parking lot from last night.

Seeing that she kept quiet and even had tears in her eyes, Simon could not help himself

and asked, “Amanda? What are you thinking about?”
