Chapter 390 What’s Your Issue With Amanda?

Crispin was-secretly delighted when he thought that Lawrence had taken the bait. Now I

must cause some trouble for Elias and Amanda, so they won’t have time to meddle in my

affairs. “Of course, if we are going to cooperate, it’s all down to your arrangements. After

all, I still don’t know what happened between you and Amanda and why she’s so afraid of

you.”

He had been pondering this question for days, wanting to exploit it as leverage against

Amanda. However, it seemed like she didn’t care at all, so he couldn’t understand why she

would stay at home all day. It was only when Elias returned that Amanda dared to leave

her house with the child. Crispin firmly believed that something was going on.

Symeon remained silent as his gaze fixated on Crispin. The atmosphere grew awkward,

and Crispin realized that Symeon wasn’t willing to divulge his affairs. Crispin then decided

not to pry too much. He would be glad as long as he could use this man to hinder Amanda

and Elias.

“Sorry, I’ve asked too many questions. Here’s the deal: I can be of service to you. I’ll help

with whatever

need since I have convenient access to the Allegra Residence,” Crispin offered. The crux of

the matter was that he didn’t know Lawrence’s true intentions or goals, which made

cooperation seemingly impossible.

Symeon’s deep eyes locked onto him for a while before asking, “What’s your issue with

Amanda?”

“Not much. I’m just a son-in-law who married into their family. It’s normal for her not to

like me, but she’s constantly going against me and trying to break me up with my wife. I

can’t tolerate that. I guess… your goal is probably to get Amanda?” Crispin cautiously

asked.

There were only two possibilities for a man to be that persistent with a woman. Either he

deeply loved. her, or he harbored intense hatred and wanted to seek revenge. Perhaps

Amanda had betrayed Mr. Lawrence? Crispin had heard that she had spent four years

abroad, making it quite possible.

“You’re quite clever. However, I don’t want her or the child. And if the child can’t be

separated from her, I can take both of them away, whether she likes it or not Symeon

smiled.

Crispin felt confused. Does he want the child? Wasn’t the child Elias? Why did he want

Elias’ child? “Sorry for prying, but do you know whose child it is? You’re here to take Elias’

child, and it won’t be easy.” Crispin couldn’t grasp Lawrence’s intentions at the moment.

Symeon sneered coldly and replied in an icy tone, “What about taking away my own

child?”

Crispin’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Symeon with disbelief. “You mean… Aiden

is… your child? Not Elias?” He had stumbled upon a huge scandal which was a shocking

revelation. Amanda has cuckolded Elias! The child is Mr. Lawrence’s!

Symeon, who wasn’t surprised by his shocked expression, explained in a low voice, “Do

you still want to cooperate with me? How can you be of use when Armanda seems to

dislike you, and won’t allow you near her child? How will you be able to help me?” Clearly,

Simon didn’t regard Crispin as anything more than a clown.

“Mr. Lawrence, we can cooperate. I can help you get the child! I understand your feelings.

That’s your child, and leaving the child in such circumstances is unacceptable!” Crispin

declared. He had firmly resolved to tread through these murky waters. He was determined

to intervene as long as it meant he could destroy Amanda and Elias.

Symeon simply stared at him and didn’t respond. Crispin knew his mere words couldn’t

prove his usefulness, so he continued, “I can bring the child to you. If the child goes

missing. Amanda and Elias will

surely be busy searching for the child and won’t have time for their trivial matters.”

“Is that so? Then bring the child to me, and we’ll talk,” Symeon said and stood up before

walking toward the elevator without bothering to listen to the babbling of this clown.

“Mr. Lawrence, just wait for my good news!” Crispin watched as the man left, and a

sinister smile appeared on his face.

The next morning, after Symeon woke up, he descended the stairs where his bodyguards

were already waiting, and one of them was holding a file folder. “Master, this is the

paternity test result that I just retrieved.”

With a cold expression, Symeon extended his hand, and the bodyguard handed him the

file folder. After opening it, he flipped through the pages of the Corynthean version of the

paternity test report. He only trusted Dr. Elbert, but since Amanda insisted that he did a

DNA paternity test upon returning to Cludan, he had to comply.

He wanted to see how Amanda would react now. Skimming over the data and analysis, he

turned to the last page, which confirmed the parent-child relationship. The man smiled as

he was unsurprised by the result. He took a photo of the final page of the DNA test result

with his phone and sent it to Amanda for

her to see.

“Master, how much longer do we need to stay here? Many matters back home require

your attention, the bodyguard reminded him.

Symeon glanced at him and retorted, “Do you think I’m oblivious? Will the Lawrence

Family crumble because of my absence?” The man grew increasingly angry, and his

temper flared. Noticing that, the bodyguard bowed his head and kept silent as he was fully

aware that he had spoken too much. I’m running low on patience as well. If this man

persists in pestering me, I’ll have to resort to more forceful

measures.

The bodyguard reminded him once again, “Master, Elias returned yesterday and moved

into the Allegra Villa. I’m unsure if he’s aware of this.”

Symeon sneered, “Do you honestly believe Amanda would inform him that she has

cheated on him?” He knew Amanda would never dare to disclose this information. After

all, Elias held considerable influence. If he discovered that the child wasn’t his, he might

even go as far as to kill the woman.

Meanwhile, at the Allegra Villa, Amanda washed up and changed into a fresh outfit after

waking up. She was going to wake Aiden and take him to school. It had been several days

since he had last attended kindergarten, and now that Elias had returned, she felt more

emboldened.

Suddenly, her phone chimed when she received a text message. She grabbed her phone

and discovered that the message was from Symeon. After opening the message, she was

met with a photograph. After seeing its contents, she stood frozen in place, unable to

regain her composure for quite some time. It was yet another falsified paternity test in

Corynthean. What is this man trying to achieve?

Why is he producing so many counterfeit paternity test reports? Does he have nothing

better to do? Could it be that even paternity tests in Cludan were subject to manipulation?

Is he so influential and powerful that he could tamper with paternity tests both in Cludan

and Esmos?
