The Barrister's Love in Town

He never thought about using the sulfuric acid matter to force Amanda to accept him, but

he merely reacted subconsciously.

Maybe Amanda was more important than he thought.

However, Elias had forgotten about the email in his inbox that contained the stimulated

portrait of the Allegra Family’s second daughter twenty years later.

Since he was not in the mood to read the email, he gathered the documents and materials

before heading

out of the office.

At this moment, Stephanie was outside the office, playing on her cell phone.

The moment she saw him exiting, she quickly put her phone away and asked, “Your ex-

wife… She’s not mad anymore, I hope?”

I saw her face earlier. She looks terrible.

Elias did not bother responding, so he walked straight for the elevators and prepared to

head to the meeting room.

When Stephanie saw that he ignored her, she rushed after him. “Say something. I’m

talking to you. Are you deaf or something?”

Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks.

She also followed suit and almost collided with him.

“You have forgotten what you promised me a long time ago.”

“What did I promise you?” Stephanie was dazed since she couldn’t think of anything after

being frightened by his anger.

At the sight of her expression, Elias was furious and sneered in disdain.

“Looks like you have forgotten everything. It seems Crispin can forget about having a

good life!”

His expression was dark as he entered the elevator after speaking.

Stephanie was taken aback before she realized, Why does he want to trouble Crisp again?

She hurried into the elevator, to which Elias scolded, “Get lost!”

“No!” She then pressed the close button before the elevator closed its doors.

So, there were two of them in the elevator. She stared at his flawless side profile. “What

do you mean by that? What does this have to do with Crisp? Why are you looking for

trouble with Crisp?”

“Why?! Then, who permitted you to harass my ex-wife? Didn’t I tell you to leave her and

the child alone? Have you lost your mind?” Elias was furious and became even more

annoyed at the sight of the woman in front of him.

If it had not been for his grandfather’s lost company shares, he would not even have

spared Stephanie a glance, let alone have anything to do with the Allegra Family.

“When did I harass your ex-wife? I haven’t even spoken to her after that incident!”

Stephanie felt that she had been wronged. Why does he have such a bad temper? I really

give Amanda the kudos for enduring his temper!

“Really? In that case, who told her that we had a plan and that I still loved her? If it’s not

you, then who could it be?”

Only then did she remember about the banquet last night and fell speechless.

That happened by accident at the banquet. I didn’t even go looking for her on purpose.

“Do you remember it now? You have nothing to say, huh? That’s why Crispin can forget

about surviving tonight.”

The elevator doors slowly opened with a ding.

“Our encounter was by accident. I didn’t go looking for her on purpose, and I wanted to

help you too. I wanted to help you explain the situation to her so that she won’t

misunderstand you. You still love her, so why do you want to pretend that you don’t give a

shit? I-”

As she followed him, she continued speaking until he could no longer stomach it and

interrupted, “That’s enough!”

She was so stunned that she froze on the spot.

“You don’t have to worry about my affairs. Who do you think you are? Stop meddling. With

that, Elias turned and entered the meeting room.

Stephanie was left all alone as the tears swam in her eyes. Even as a little girl, no one had

been this fierce

toward her…

I feel so wronged. I just wanted to help Elias explain the matter…

She initially wanted to say something, but when she saw that Elias had entered the

meeting room, she didn’t want to interrupt his meeting.

At that moment, Amanda drove herself and Aiden back to their place.

Selina didn’t cook dinner for them because she knew that they were out, so she only

prepared herself a bowl of noodles.

When they arrived home, they saw Selina eating.

As Amanda was in quite a state, she weakly instructed, “Selina, I’ll need to trouble you to

give Aiden a shower after your meal.”

“Sure, but what happened? You look so pale.

“It’s nothing. I’m just a little tired.” Amanda crashed on the couch as her mind replayed

the scene of Stephanie asking Elias to try on the attire earlier.

She almost forgot that it was almost the end of the month, which meant that Elias would

be getting engaged to the Allegra Family, and the marriage would soon be announced

publicly.

Argh! Now that I think about my secret marriage, I’m really frustrated. We could only have

a secret marriage when I married him, but the whole world knows about his marriage to

Stephanie. Do I really deserve to be left in the shadows?

After all, it was still a case of being in unequal social positions, which was the reason why

Amanda was in such a situation.

She thought, Just treat it as a dream. It’s quite beautiful, though. It’s just incredible that

someone who had no relationship with me in the past could marry and have a child with

me.
