The Barrister's Love in Town

After she finally saw her client off, she found that Grace was no longer sitting in the

corner.

Amanda purposely scanned her surroundings, looking for Grace. Is she gone? But I sit

facing the entrance the whole time. I should’ve seen her if she left earlier.

She walked over to the counter to pay her bills with a frown on her face.

To her surprise, she saw Grace walking out of the washroom and was about to come

across her.

Grace was surprised to see Amanda in the cafe, but she refused to let it show on her face.

“Fancy meeting you here. Grace thought Amanda just arrived at the cafe. She didn’t think

Amanda had seen her meeting up with somebody.

Amanda’s reply was unrelated. “I thought you cared about Elias. He got in an accident.

Aren’t you supposed to look after him in the hospital?”

That’s uncharacteristic of her. She should’ve been around him all the time.

Amanda remembered Grace’s conversation with another person in the hospital that day. I

wonder if she’s responsible for the accident,

“TIl look after him without a doubt. I’m on my way now,” After that, Grace began to walk

toward the door.

Watching the woman walk over to the exit, Amanda slowly began, “How did you manage

to stay calm after learning that Elias got in an accident? Perhaps you have something to

do with the accident?”

Grace immediately stopped in her tracks at the words, a faint smile remaining on her face.

What does that mean? Has she discovered anything? How much does she know?

Grace didn’t dare to expose herself. After all, she couldn’t tell how much Amanda knew,

“Those are some strong words, Amanda. You’re accusing me of a crime. Are you implying

that 1 caused the accident? However, I heard from the butler that Elias was on his way to

see you before he got in the

accident.”

Taking the preemptive approach, eh? She’s clever.

The feeling that Grace was responsible for the accident grew stronger within Amanda.

Grace doesn’t look as innocent as other people perceive her to be.

“Everyone agrees that your brother’s ghost comes back to haunt Elias. He specially chose

to strike on Elias’ birthday.” Amanda emphasized, gauging Grace’s reaction to the mention

of Yelan’s ghost.

Grace dismissed the claim with a chuckle. “You’re a lawyer. Amanda. You should know that

karma doesn’t exist. My brother is loyal to Elias and will remain so even after he passes

away. There’s no such thing as karma.”

Amanda began as if she was interrogating a suspect, “Why didn’t you celebrate Elias’

birthday with him? Knowing you, you must look forward to celebrating his birthday with

him.”

“Are you trying to make fun of me? I don’t want to look for him, only to watch him cook for

you.”

The mention of Elias’ birthday irritated Grace. At first, she didn’t plan to take such extreme

measures.

However, Elias disappointed her. Not only did he cook for Amanda, he even tried to go and

get her to celebrate his birthday with him.

Grace had been by his side during his birthday every year in the past. She supported him

with her mere existence without making his birthday a scene as she always knew that he

wasn’t a fan of his birthday.

To her surprise, Elias eventually got over the experience that bothered him for years. But

it was for Amanda’s sake instead of her.

+11 Bonus

Grace was green with envy and planned the accident as a result to teach Elias a lesson.

She wanted to remind him about Yelan’s death and his last words.

Amanda narrowed her eyes. “So, you did go to his place, or else you wouldn’t know he

cooked for me.”

“I-I learned it from the call. The butler told me!”

Grace was frustrated as she belatedly realized that she willingly jumped into the trap

Amanda set up for her. It has to stop now. I don’t want her to find out the truth.

“Forgive me, but I can’t stay for chit-chat. I’ve got things to do.”

After that, Grace turned around and left the cafe. As she spun around, blood drained from

her face. I’ve said too much. I hope I didn’t raise suspicion.

Amanda trailed behind Grace in leaving the cafe. She watched as the latter left in haste.

The sight confirmed her guess. She’s somewhat related to the accident.

Pursing her lips into a thin line, Amanda headed to the parking lot. She started the car,

about to head out to the crash site again.

The bad weather during the accident deprived her of the opportunity to look up details at

the crash site.

Elias eventually gave in to Yacob’s reminder and visited the hospital even if he wasn’t

pleased about it Once the doctor guaranteed that Elias was fine, Yacob finally sent him

back to the manor.

Elias was quietly sulking in his mind on their way back to the manor. His gloomy

expression indicated that he wasn’t happy-

Yacob kept his eyes on the road without trying to initiate a conversation. Suddenly, a car

parked on the roadside caught his eye. Even more, it parked near the crash site.

Yacob took his time to study the situation before he brought it up to Elias. That is Miss

Bailey’s car. I wonder why she’s here.”

A glint of anticipation flashed across Elias’ dark eyes at the mention of Amanda. He

lowered the window and looked out the car. As expected, he saw Amanda’s car.

“Stop the car here.”

Yacob parked the car on the roadside as told.
