The Barrister's Love in Town

others? Jack was a sly fox, só if he told anyone his plan, Jack would definitely find out

about it. Therefore, he had to keep this a secret. from Amanda, let alone Simon.

The man held his forehead with his long fingers and spoke in a frustrated voice. “It does

not concern you. Don’t you understand a man’s true nature? With my identity, how could I

be willing to stay with only one woman? As for a child, any woman would be willing to bear

my child. Since you like Amanda, you can freely pursue her. I won’t bother.”

“Elias, will you take responsibility for what you said today?” Simon sounded a little angry

on the phone, like he wanted to come over and punch Elias.

As for Elias, he said those words because Jack and his secretary had entered the door a

moment earlier.

Meanwhile, Jack pretended he did not care while eavesdropping on the phone call. The

meeting room was extremely quiet, so much so that one could hear a pin drop.

Elias watched as the cunning old fox sat on the couch, seemingly looking at the document

in his hand when he was actually listening to his answer.

Therefore, Elias could only resolutely reply, “Of course, I will take responsibility for my

words. I am no longer interested in Amanda, and if you’re interested in providing for my

son, I can give Aiden to you. Stephanie will bear me a child after we get married, anyway.”

“Elias Winters, do you hear what you’re saying? It seems like you made Amanda quite

furious last night, or else she wouldn’t have been so angry. You’re such a se mbag! Not

only did you hurt her four years ago, but you still haven’t changed four years later. I didn’t

expect you to still act this way. Since you’ve decided to give up on Amanda and Aiden,

you’d better not go anywhere near them again!”

Once Simon was done, he immediately hung up.

Elias listened to the beeping of the phone and felt his heart ache. He remained calm on

the surface because he knew that once he said that, he would never be able to get

Amanda and Aiden back.

However, the burden on his shoulders was too crucial, so he could only give up his

feelings.

When Jack saw Elias putting away his phone, he spoke up. “What’s the matter? Got

chastised by your ex- wife’s boyfriend?”

After snorting. Elias replied, “It doesn’t matter. She’s my ex-wife, so we will never have

anything to do with each other ever again. Also, I’m getting engaged next month. Let’s

forget about this. By the way. Mr. Allegra, I heard my aunt say that she has begun

acquiring some small businesses?”

Jack nodded upon hearing that. “Yes. Your aunt isn’t easily reckoned with. Since she

shamelessly took away your grandfather’s shares, she is afraid you might want to take

them back, so she is now trying all she can to buy supporters to resist your attack

whenever it may be.”

Frowning, Elias thought he might have indeed underestimated Anna. She had disliked him

since he was young and always said his grandfather was biased toward him and doted on

him until he behaved lawlessly.

But her spendthrift son was also doted on till the point that he behaved lawlessly as well.

That young man was indeed immoral because he had gotten several women pregnant and

lost quite a lot of money.

It seemed like he had to accelerate his plans.

Elias pretended to look serious. “By the way, Mr. Allegra, where are we going to hold the

engagement party next week? I’ve already started preparing the invitations. I have quite a

number of friends and family. How about you?”

Jack was happy to hear Elias mentioning the engagement on his own and smiled. “You

don’t have to worry about that. I’ll take care of everything, and you will only need to

attend the party with Steph. You youngsters shouldn’t waste time on those matters. Just

focus on whatever matters you have on hand.”

“That’s great. I have three projects running at the same time, so I am quite busy. Thank

you for stepping in, Mr. Allegra.”

“We’re about to become a family. Why are you still calling me Mr. Allegra?” Jack teased.

A hint of displeasure appeared in Elias’ eyes, but he still complied. “Thank you, Jack.

You’ve worked hard

on this matter.”

“Good. Steph and I recently had a conflict again. If you have the time, please accompany

her. After all, she’s my only daughter, and I would not want her to suffer any grievances.

Moreover, feelings are developed, so I’m sure Steph will gradually forget that poor man

and fall for you. Our families are a good match for each other.”

Elias nodded. “Tll go to her tonight. No matter how busy I am, I must make time for my

fiancé. She is the most important.”

“Very good. It’s great that you understand that a harmonious family is the key to

prosperity.”

Jack was growing more satisfied with his future son-in-law. However, he never had a

chance or reason to get the Winters Family to propose marriage to his family before, so he

had to seize this chance to do so.

“Your aunt will also attend the board of directors meeting later, so you have to prepare

yourself and control your anger. We still have bigger matters to attend to, so don’t get too

emotional, alright?” Jack reminded Elias.

With a slight frown, Elias stated, “I understand. I won’t mess up at such an important

moment. I’ll listen to your orders.”
