The Barrister's Love in Town

Amanda crossed her arms and put on an overbearing expression. No matter what

unreasonable request. that family might ask of her, she would never give in.

Edith stared at Amanda’s face while trying her best to recall her eldest daughter’s face

when she was young. When the two faces gradually overlapped, she felt tears welling up

in her eyes.

At the same time, Stephanie was also staring at Amanda’s face. That was because she

was trying to figure out why she did not make the connection that Amanda was Amelia

when she had seen Amanda several times before.

Jack was the first to react and reprimanded, “That’s not how a lady should speak! Watch

your manners!”

Hearing that, Amanda could not hold back her laughter. Had Jack been a company

president for too long and thought everyone should revolve around him? How could he

reprimand her like he was her elder?

Then, Amanda clicked her tongue and sneered. “I understand now. You find me living here

a nuisance, right? After all, Elias bought this place with his money. Here I am, living in the

house your to-be son-in- law bought, and I even had his child. Does that make your family

feel uncomfortable? But there’s nothing I can do about it because this is a fact.”

She knew Jack was here for trouble. They must be here to chase her out of this house and

get rid of all the dangerous obstacles hindering Stephanie from having a happy married

life.

At that moment, Edith finally broke down and sobbed, “Amelia, you shouldn’t talk to your

father like that. We’re ”

Confused, Amanda looked flabbergasted. What’s this? Did they come to the wrong house,

or have they gone insane? Is this some sort of new play?

“Wait, wait, wait… What are you talking about? Who’s Amelia? What father? Mrs. Allegra,

are you still dreaming? My name is Amanda Bailey, not Amelia. Also, my father is not the

high and mighty Mr. Allegra. My father is a gambler who is always in debt and has

abandoned his wife and children.”

Hearing that, Jack frowned even deeper. So, this was how her daughter had been living all

these years? A father who was a gambler and abandoned his wife and children? How good

could such a life be?

Edith sobbed even harder after listening to that.

Meanwhile, Amanda watched the scene before her and felt skeptical as she wondered

what this family was up to. “Mr. Allegra, can’t you be more frank about why you’re here?

What’s with the act? Do you find this amusing?”

Just as Jack was about to speak, Stephanie beat him to it. “I didn’t get engaged to Elias,

and you are the missing eldest daughter of the Allegra Family. So, you are my sister, and I

can’t get engaged to Elias. Do you understand now?”

Amanda was silent for a moment as the amount of information thrown at her was so huge

that she could not process them all at once. What do they mean by I am the missing

eldest daughter of the Allegra Family?

After staring at the bunch for a long time without knowing how to react, Amanda pointed

at herself as her eyes widened in shock. “Are you saying that we are biological sisters? Am

I the Allegra Family’s daughter as well?”

Even though Stephanie was reluctant to admit that, she still nodded. “Yes, that’s right.

That’s the truth. So. Elias and I can’t get engaged.”

Whenever Stephanie thought about how she could not get engaged to Elias, she could not

help but feel displeased. But she did not know what she was displeased about. She did not

like Elias, so why did she feel disappointed when she could not get engaged to him?

At that moment, Aiden rubbed his eyes and came out of his room in cute pajamas while

whining. “Mommy, I’m hungry…

When he arrived before Amanda, he finally realized the bunch of strangers in the living

room, but he immediately spotted Stephanie sitting on the far side.

Aiden immediately screamed, “Ahhh! It’s the nasty, ugly woman! Mommy, chase her

away! I don’t want her in our house!”

The kid’s scream angered Stephanie. “Who are you calling ugly, huh? Who’s ugly? You’re

looking to be taught a lesson, brat!”

Edith stopped her. “Why are you arguing with a child? What’s more, he’s your nephew.”

In the meantime, Amanda took Aiden into her embrace and turned to Stephanie. “I don’t

need you to lecture my son.”

However, Jack angrily slammed his hand on the table. “Look at how you brought up your

son. Why aren’t you letting Stephanie criticize him? How can you let your son call

someone ugly? What will become of him in the future?”

Then, Jack finally looked at the kid’s appearance and concluded that Aiden was indeed

Elias’ child. They looked almost identical.

“Do you think that you’re my parents just because of a few words you said? You have no

right to tell me what to do! I’ll have to ask you to leave this instant, or else I’ll call for

security.” Amanda’s mind was in a mess, and she needed time to rearrange her thoughts.

“You! How could you speak to your father this way?” Jack was so angry that he shot up

from his seat.

At that moment, Amanda’s phone began ringing, which was quite inappropriate in such a

situation.

At first, Amanda had no intention of picking up, but when she saw it was from Elias, she

quickly answered the call. “Elias, get your *ss up here now and take your father-in-law

away! They’re driving me crazy! I can’t stand them anymore!”

When Elias heard that, he said nothing else but, “I’m downstairs right now. Will be there in

a minute.”

After hanging up, Amanda sighed in relief. At the very least, Elias would get rid of these

people because she was his ex-wife and had his child.
