Chapter 238 Taking What One Needs.

Elias always responded coldly regardless of what Jack said, leaving him helpless.

“Fine. I don’t care about your matters, but you better handle your affairs properly. Please

don’t miss your date with Steph today” Jack finished speaking and stood up to leave. He

was displeased with Elias but had to endure it since it had come to this point.

Otherwise, what will happen to the engagement banquet at the end of the month? My

close friends in the circle are already aware of the planned union between the Allegra and

Winters Families. However, most people don’t know it yet. I’ll become a laughingstock if it

falls apart and the wedding is canceled.

Elias watched Jack’s departing figure and let out a mocking laugh. He not only teased Jack

but also himself.

His phone started vibrating, so he glanced at it and saw a call from Oscar. He answered

the phone, and Oscar reported, “Mr. Winters, Miss Murphy refuses to leave. I told her it

was your wish, but she refused to go and said you should drive her out yourself.”

A trace of annoyance appeared between Elias’ brows, and he pinched the bridge of his

nose. “Alright, I understand. Go about your duties.

Grace is so troublesome, like a piece of gum that I can’t shake off.

After hanging up the phone, a person suddenly came to his mind. Perhaps this person

could help him eliminate the trouble caused by Grace. The corner of his mouth curved into

a smile as he slowly stood up and left the meeting room toward the office.

When he pushed open the door to the office, he saw Yacob putting the child to sleep on

the couch with a blanket and keeping an eye on him while Stephanie was sitting on the

opposite side. She looked bored as she flipped through a finance magazine and

occasionally rolled her eyes at the sleeping child.

When Yacob saw him enter the office, he immediately stood up. Elias gestured for him to

sit down. “Stay with the child. I’m going out to talk to Miss Allegra. Miss Allegra, let’s have

a cup of coffee. He then turned and walked out after saying this.

Stephanie was also restless, so she dropped the finance magazine in her hand and slowly

left the office. after a stretch. If it weren’t for my father’s insistence on waiting for Elias to

finish the meeting and try on clothes with him, I wouldn’t be foolishly waiting here.

The two arrived at the cafe on the company’s third floor and sat in a window seat.

The weather was lovely today, and the gentle sunlight reflected against Elias’ facial

features. Such a scene made him look like he was from a comic series because of how

flawless and impeccable he looked.

For a brief moment, Stephanie was captivated by the man’s appearance.

“What are you looking at?” he asked coldly. He did not like being stared at like that. He

found it annoying when someone gazed at him blankly.

After hearing his voice, she returned to her senses and averted her gaze. “Oh, nothing.

Why did you choose this table? The sunlight is so strong that it’s blinding”

“Just letting some light into your brain,” he retorted mercilessly.

His rude comment left Stephanie stunned as she did not expect his straightforwardness.

“Who are you insulting? Did you call me here just to say that, Elias?” She noticed that he

always managed to provoke her and get furious easily

Elias picked up his coffee and took a sip. “Back to the point, we can collaborate again for

our benefit.”

Collaborate? What do you mean by collaborating?” she asked.

“You help me get rid of someone, and I’ll help you find Crispin and arrange a meeting for

you.” He believed that the conditions he offered were tempting enough or even sufficient

to entice Stephanie.

Indeed, her eyes widened. “Are you serious? Deal! You can just tell me who you wish to

get rid of

A smile crept onto his lips. “You truly have deep feelings for that man. It’s touching”

“Enough with the nonsense. Tell me!” She simply did not want to drag Crispin down. Her

father was intentionally punishing her by targeting Crispin.

Elias replied, “Yacob will take you later. Once you finish the task, I’ll take you to meet

Crispin in the evening.”

“So, you know where Crispin is being held?”

She thought Elias had no idea, but it seemed she underestimated his capabilities. The

man remained silent and gave her a meaningful glance to let her interpret it herself.

Winters Estate.

Elias took the children to the amusement park. At the same time, Yacob drove Stephanie

back to the Winters Estate and was ready to execute their plan. “I didn’t expect the

Winters Estate to be so grand and massive,” she remarked.

She believed the Allegra Family’s mansion was already impressive since it was created

with billions of dollars by her father. She never imagined the Winters Family estate to be

even more extravagant.

Yacob remained silent and led her to Grace’s residence.

Jennifer had been sent to a recuperation facility. Still, Grace continued to linger there,

claiming to wait for her to return. At that moment, she was watching a movie in the

cinema room. She had grown accustomed to life there and was even willing to spend her

whole life at Winters Estate.

Since Grace’s appearance was ruined, she would only be subject to ridicule by everyone if

she went outside. It was better for her to hide here since the place was isolated from the

world, where no one dared to mock her.

Yacob pushed open the doors to the theater, and the movie abruptly stopped.

Stephanie walked in and saw Grace sitting in the seat. Before she could say anything.

Grace angrily shouted, “Who are you? Get out! Leave!” Then, she hurriedly covered her

cheeks to avoid anyone seeing the scar on her face. She increasingly felt like a clown and

did not want to see anyone.

“Afraid of facing people? How dare you meet my fiancé! Do you think he would like you in

your current state? What are you doing here clinging on?” Stephanie was being sarcastic,

and even Yacob could not help but chuckle.

Perhaps only Stephanie could handle Grace Murphy.

“What did you say? Say that again: I dare you! I used to be much prettier than you! Do

you think Elias would like you?” Grace did not believe he would be interested in this

daughter of the Allegra Family

Compared to my appearance and Amanda’s, who isn’t more substantial than this b*tch?

That was the reason for her anger. How could Elias’ taste have downgraded so much?

What made Grace even more furious was that although Stephanie was not as beautiful as

she and Amanda, her family background was something they could never catch up to in

several lifetimes. I can still compete if Elias pursues beauty, but I cannot win if he seeks

power.

Stephanie crossed her arms and mocked, “So what? He chose me and not you in your

current state. Do you even dare to call yourself beautiful? Perhaps I should buy you a

mirror”
