The Barrister's Love in Town

“Have some shrimp, Mommy. And he’s some fish for you, Mr. Simon!” The boy leaned over

the table and put food on the adults’ plates.

Amanda was so touched she could cry. It suddenly felt like her son had grown up.

Thank you, Baby. It’s delicious!”

Simon also laughed as he patted Aiden on the head. Of course, he knew exactly what the

boy was up to.

In the following days. Amanda and Aiden gradually got used to living in the villa.

She hadn’t heard from Elias either. After that incident, she and Elias were probably free of

any entanglements with one another.

Howard had also given up after Amanda brought Simon back to the Winters Manor.

Just like that, Amanda’s world seemed to have regained its peace. She could only hope

that these quiet days would last until the day she resigned.

At Justice & Associates.

“What?!” Amanda almost spewed out the water she was drinking. “We are the defense

lawyers for the rich son who committed indecent assault?”

She thought she would represent the woman who was taken advantage of for the lawsuit.

Helean helplessly sighed when he heard that. “Miss Bailey, are you out of touch with

reality? We work for the country’s top law firm. How can an ordinary person afford the

attorney’s fees here? The woman who was assaulted is only a student from a third-rate

university.”

Amanda did not know what to say for a moment. She wouldn’t have agreed to take the

case if she had known. Not only did she despise cases like this, she now had to defend a

sc*mbag who assaulted a poor woman.

“You need to meet the litigant tonight and talk to him about the upcoming trial, Helean

added.

Amanda couldn’t help but sigh. “Where should I meet him?”

“He is super arrogant, though. He is still out having fun every day even after what

happened.

Actually, he’s having a pool party tonight. That is where you’ll have to go”

“Who exactly is the guy?” Amanda spat. “What an embarrassment to his family

However, she did not know that she would soon meet Elias, whom she had not seen in a

long time.

It was soon nighttime.

Amanda drove to the luxurious villa in the suburbs where the pool party was held and

walked in. with an invitation card Helean prepared for her in advance.

She could see beautiful men and women in sexy swimsuits everywhere she looked,

Amanda, who was dressed in a professional suit, caught the curious gazes of many

because of how out of place she looked.

She quickly grabbed a server and asked, “Excuse me, may I know where I can find Mr.

Carlisle London?”

“He’s that way, miss. The server pointed in a direction.

“Thank you.”

Amanda then went in the direction the server pointed. As she weaved through a crowd of

beauties. in bathing suits, she finally saw a man with women in both his arms. He was

leaning back on a lounge chair like a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler.

So, this is Carlisle London. I can tell he is a good-for-nothing, but… Why do I feel like a

strange gaze fixated

on me?

With a frown, she turned her head to look, only to end up frozen on the spot.

Leaning against a lounge chair several seats away was Elias who held a champagne glass.

He wore a black shirtsleeve with two buttons undone, and his sleeves were casually rolled

up, revealing a silver wristwatch.

The man’s almond-shaped eyes were narrowed as he stared at Amanda.

Why is Elias here?! Is he actually friends with a b*stard who took advantage of a college

student?

Despite her thoughts, Amanda composed herself and introduced herself to Carlisle. “Mr.

London, I am your attorney. Do you have time to talk about the case with me now?”

“Ah, a beautiful lawyer! I thought you were here for the party. I was wondering why you

aren’t in a

swimsuit.”

Carlisle looked at Amanda from head to toe, his expression lecherous. “You would look

great in a

swimsuit.”

However, Amanda only responded calmly, “Mr. London, please have some respect for

yourself. I am your attorney, not one of those women you are talking about.”

She would have slapped the sleazy man on the face if it wasn’t because he was a client.

Seeing that she was angry, Carlisle smilingly offered a compromise. “Okay, okay. Have a

seat, Miss Bailey, and we will talk. I can’t help feeling nervous. After all, this is my first

time talking about a case with a beautiful lawyer.”

Amanda didn’t answer him. She was tempted to just turn around and walk away.

Elias’ gaze was on Amanda the entire time. After he took a sip of champagne, he suddenly

said in a low voice. “Do you have to talk about work now? It is a pool party. Either you talk

about work another day, or you can talk now but in swimwear.”

He was intentionally making things hard for her because of the deep grudge he held

against her.

Many of Carlisle’s friends started to kick up a fuss as well. “He’s right! This is a pool party.

You have to follow the rules if you are here. Why would you be here without swimwear?”

Shocked, Amanda stared wide-eyed at Elias.

This b*stard is deliberately trying to make things hard for me!

“You are not in swimwear, are you?” Amanda bit back. She wanted to charge at the son-of-

a-b*tch and chew him up if she could.

“Pffi! Who are you to compare yourself to me?” Elias sneered.

She had no comeback to that. It took her all her might to rein in her emotions.
