Chapter 251 Amanda’s Blurred Identity

Late at night.

The meeting lasted three hours before Elias emerged from the meeting room.

“Elias, you’ll have to keep a close eye on the project. Otherwise, your aunt will make a

move.”

“I know,”

Jack emerged from the meeting room with Elias but never expected to see his daughter

waiting for them outside.

“Steph, what are you doing here? Waiting for Elias, are you?”

Elias also stopped and noticed Stephanie’s nervous look. He didn’t need to ask to know

that she was worried he would lay a hand on Crispin.

“I’m waiting for Elias, Dad. You can head home first. We still need to try on the wedding

attire. If we don’t, we really will be pressed for time, Stephanie replied.

Jack nodded upon hearing that. “Okay, then. I’ll head off first. Come back once you guys

are done with the trying.

At that, he left.

Seeing that it was just him and Stephanie, Elias didn’t spare her another glance and

headed in the direction of the elevator.

She hurried toward him and said, “If I have caused your ex-wife trouble or any

misunderstanding between you two, I can explain things to her. I really didn’t mean it, so

please don’t cause Crisp any trouble. He’s already going through hell at his place…”

“You have underestimated the endurance of those like him. In the name of wealth and

power for eternity this suffering is considered nothing.” The man sneered.

“Don’t gauge his chivalry with your own measure. Crisp is not such a man. He loves me.”

Stephanie was so naive that she thought there was true love between her and Crispin.

Meanwhile, Elias could not be bothered to talk to her anymore since it did not even bother

him.

The elevator doors slowly opened with a ding, and he walked inside. “You don’t have to

follow me. I’m not in the mood to lay a hand on your man, but I’m warning you once more-

don’t look for my ex-wife again. I also won’t need you to poke your nose in my matters. If

you ever run into her, just step aside and leave her to enjoy her peaceful life.”

At that, he pressed the close button.

Before Stephanie could even say anything, the elevator doors closed.

Does that mean he won’t lay a hand on Crisp?

At that, she exhaled in a sigh of relief.

Back in the office, Elias sat on his chair, but he couldn’t fully lean back because of his

injured back.

He placed his right arm on the table and squeezed his brows before he tiredly closed his

eyes. Although he really wanted to sleep, there were too many things to do, which left him

with no time to sleep.

Elias suddenly remembered that he had not opened the email he received before Amanda

entered the office.

It was a simulated portrait of the Allegra Family’s second daughter, Amelia Allegra, twenty

years later.

So, he opened his eyes and gently shook the mouse to light up the computer screen.

He clicked on the web page and saw that the picture of the stimulated portrait had been

downloaded, so he proceeded to open it.

Shock enveloped his features when he opened it because…

There was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

This simulated portrait of Amelia Allegra looks so familiar… It looks like someone I know…

Elias immediately opened the drawer and yanked the photo frame to have a careful look

again. The Stephanie in the photo frame was standing aside giggling, while her sister,

Amelia, was smiling cutely, but they did not share any facial resemblances.

If he had to be honest, Amelia was much prettier than Stephanie ever since they were

young.

What is going on?

Elias had stared at the little girl in the picture many times. His first impression was that

she looked familiar, as if she was someone whom he knew, but he couldn’t place it.

Now that he saw the simulated picture of her twenty years later, he was taken aback.

Isn’t this… Amanda?

Although it was not one hundred percent similar, it still had a resemblance of about

seventy to eighty. percent to the current Amanda.

Does this mean that Amanda is the lost daughter of the Allegra Family and has been

missing for more than twenty years? Is it even possible? Isn’t her father the gambler Dick

Leans? Moreover, her mother never mentioned whether Amanda was her biological child

or not.

Elias stared at the simulated portrait on the computer screen. The eyebrows, eyes, and

demeanor are about seventy to eighty percent similar to Amanda’s.

The longer he stared at it, the more he felt that these two people shared similarities to the

point where the portrait almost overlapped with Amanda’s face.

He took his cell phone and called Yacob, who answered quickly. “What is it, Mr. Winters?

I’m actually catching up on sleep now.”

“Don’t sleep yet. Help me with something.”

“Do you still have some humanity left in you, Mr. Winters? I haven’t even slept properly for

the past week, so can’t you wait until I wake up before instructing me?”

Elias responded in a serious tone, “No can do. In fact, it has to be done right now since it’s

important.”

“Alright. Your wish is my command.”

“Help me locate Dick Leans. I need to see him before dawn.”

At that, Elias ended the call and could already imagine how Yacob would curse at him on

the other end of the line, but he could not care that much. He desperately wanted to know

the truth.

It would be interesting if Amelia was really the oldest daughter of the Allegra Family…

Elias stared at the computer screen while waiting for Yacob to bring Dick over. It was

already 2.00AM, which meant that dawn was just around the corner.

At 5.00AM, there was a knock on the office door.

Elias, who was taking a nap, regained his energy instantly and straightened his posture.

“Come in.”

The office door was pushed open to reveal Yacob with Dick in tow, who looked timid and

scared.

“Eli-no, Mr. Winters, why are you looking for me? I haven’t done anything bad recently and

didn’t look for the child either, so why the sudden call?”

Dick was worried that Elias would cause trouble for him, so he did not dare to look for Elias

for fear of being beaten into a pulp.

Dick’s heart was in his throat the last time that he lost Aiden. When he learned that the

child was found safe, he was relieved and did not dare to look for Aiden again.

Meanwhile, Yacob looked like he had not slept for days, so he leaned against the couch in

the reception area. It was as if he could fall asleep at any moment.

Elias slowly rose to his full height and walked toward Dick.

At the sight of Elias approaching him, Dick kept retreating with a timid expression. “What

on earth do want, Mr. Winters? I was in the wrong. I’ll never look for Amanda and her son

anymore. 1-

you

Before Dick could even finish speaking. Elias asked in a deep voice, “Is Amanda your

biological daughter?” The older man was taken aback for a second. “What do you mean?

Of course, she’s my daughter. Otherwise, who else could it be?”

“You sure?”

“Naturally. Otherwise, would her mother have really cuckolded me? It’s impossible! Even

her mother lacks. the guts to do so when I’m the only one who can!”

At the sight of Dick’s confident expression, it was obvious that he felt that Amanda’s

mother would never betray him.

Elias felt so sick to his stomach that when he saw Dick’s response, only one word

appeared in his mind. Sc*mbag.
