Chapter 372 We’re Equal, A

The wedding finally began.

The Wedding March sounded as Jack entered the venue with a smile. Only Stephanie

hooked her arm around her father’s with a sorrowful expression. It was as if she was going

through torture.

Meanwhile, Crispin was waiting for them at the altar. His smile was smug and insincere.

Amanda felt a chill running down her spine when she thought of what was ahead of

Stephanie.

“Stephanie must be terrified now. She’s marrying a monster that she used to be deeply in

love with.”

However, Elias showed no sympathy at all as he mocked. “She had it coming. I had told

her about the nature of the man, but she assumed that I was merely sowing discord. I no

longer want to be bothered by this matter, but this trashy man surely has some gall to

frame me.”

Amanda asked doubtfully. There’s something I don’t understand. What’s the point of

Crispin doing that? Stephanie is his girlfriend, so it’s only natural that he wants to do the

deed with her. Why did he disguise himself as you and force himself on her, though?

There’s no feud between you two, so, why did he frame you?”

Elias snorted. “Don’t you get it? Stephanie already started despising him and was trying to

come up with a way to get rid of an obstacle like him.”

“What?!”

Amanda thought that the duo was deeply in love with each other. Stephanie previously

wanted to elope with Crispin, so why did she stop loving the man out of nowhere?

Elias glanced at her and said seriously. “You’re her sister, but I’m your man and Aiden is

your child. On the other hand, Stephanie has found a poor man. Do you think Crispin is

comparable to me at all? It’s only natural that she’s sulky.”

Amanda was astounded, for she didn’t expect that was what was on Stephanie’s mind.

The man continued with a smile, “She wanted to get rid of the poor man, but Crispin

certainly wouldn’t give up just like that. It has taken him a lot of effort to come this far,

and he’s about to be part of the Allegras. Do you think he’d give up?”

Amanda finally understood everything.

“So, he pretended to be you and slept with Stephanie. Then, he shifted the blame to you

and ruined her reputation so that she would be accused of betrayal. At that point, he could

pretend to love her very much. and insist on marrying her to become part of the Allegras.”

Elias said, “Unfortunately, he revealed his true colors too soon. Stephanie found out the

truth before the wedding was even held. He’s arrogant, but he doesn’t have the intellect

to achieve his goal.”

“What should we do, then? It’s not like we can just let him become part of the Allegras,”

Amanda couldn’t help but ask. As she looked at the smiling Jack standing in front of the

altar, she was worried.

It was dangerous to let such a scheming man become part of their family.

“Crispin’s ultimate goal isn’t to become part of the Allegras only. I believe his ambition

doesn’t stop there. Since he has the guts to commit so many atrocities, it’s not surprising

that he intends to snatch your

family’s wealth away.”

“Shouldn’t we get rid of him right now, then?”

“I’m trying to collect evidence. Just tell Jack a little about it so that he won’t believe that

brat entirely. That cunning old man has always been shrewd, but he can’t see through

Crispin’s nature this time.” Elias squinted and looked at the married couple in front of the

altar. Stephanie seemed to be on the brink of

tears.

Everyone at the wedding was cheerful and clapped their hands for the newlyweds. Only

Stephanie gazed at the man beside her with a look of horror on her face.

Jack put her hand into Crispin’s and said, “Crispin, I’ll give my daughter to you now. She

has always been willful, so I hope you’ll be more patient with her. I’ll treat you like my own

son. I’ll be at ease as long as the two of you love and support each other. As her father, all

I want is for her to be happy.”

At that moment, Jack found Crispin to be a decent man who was worthy of his daughter.

With tears threatening to stream down her face, Stephanie wanted to tell her father that

she wasn’t willing to marry that man, but she didn’t have the bravery to do so.

Crispin gripped the woman’s hands and said to Jack, “Don’t worry, Mr. Allegra. I’ll make

sure to take good care of Steph. As long as I’m alive, I won’t let her suffer any grievances.”

His words sounded sincere.

If not for the torment Stephanie had gone through as of late, she herself would have

believed that the man would take care of her forever.

After a hectic day, the wedding finally ended. By the time they saw the guests off and

returned home, they were exhausted.

Amanda and Elias were seated on the couch while whispering to each other, so no one

could hear what they were talking about.

Aiden was sound asleep in the man’s arms, still clad in the custom-made suit, which made

him and his father look alike. It was as if they were made from the same mold.

When Crispin and Stephanie stepped into the living room, Amanda and Elias stopped

talking and glanced. at the newlyweds.

Stephanie looked like a sorrowful woman who was void of any vitality. She was like a

flower that would wither at any moment.

On the other hand, Crispin appeared confident as he was finally part of the Allegras. He

said with a smile. “What’s wrong, Miss Bailey and Mr. Winters? Why did you stop talking

when you saw us? Have we interrupted you or something?”

Elias is merely Amanda’s ex-husband, so I’m the only son-in-law of the Allegra Family now!

“You’ve indeed interrupted us, so go back to your room and stop bothering us,” Amanda

said with contempt. After learning everything that Crispin had done, she was no longer

willing to be gentle to him.

Crispin put on a smile. “It seems that there are many things you aren’t aware of, Miss

Bailey. For example,

2/3

my wife and your

former husband were

looking for my wife, they would’ve done something indecent.”

Upon hearing that, Elias felt his fury burn within him. If not for the child in his arms, he

would have pounced on Crispin and kicked him.

Noticing the man’s wrath, Amanda gently placed her fingers on the back of his hand in an

attempt to appease him. Then, she looked languidly at Crispin. “Anyone could’ve made a

mistake at that point, but my former husband wouldn’t. He’s my ex-husband, so I know

everything about him. As for you… Do you seriously believe you’re a part of the Allegras

now?”

“What are you talking about, Miss Bailey? I’m Steph’s husband now, and you’ve just

returned to the Allegra Family. We’re equal, aren’t we?”

Crispin didn’t think he was inferior to Amanda. Although he was a new member of the

Allegra Family, Amanda had only returned to the family recently. As such, it wasn’t like her

bond with the Allegras was

strong.

As Stephanie listened to their quarrel, she felt diffident. Now, she didn’t have the guts to

go against Crispin.
