The Barrister's Love in Town

“Mr. Jack, we- Just as Crispin was about to speak, Jack shouted angrily, “Get out! I don’t

want a son-in-law like you!”

“You can’t put it that way. I married your daughter when her reputation was tarnished-”

“How dare you bring that up?! Stefan! Bring someone in and throw this animal out!” Jack

was boiling with anger as he called for the butler.

Within seconds, the butler and the bodyguards entered the study.

Crispin surveyed the scene before him and knew he wouldn’t have a favorable outcome if

he continued to cling on and not leave. A wise man knew when to retreat, so he departed.

He cast a profound gaze at Stephanie, who was hiding behind Jack, then turned around

and left the study, bidding farewell to the family for good.

As Crispin stood outside the Allegra Family’s villa, he turned to look at the house and

chuckled to himself. saying, “It won’t be that easy to chase me out. Since it’s a divorce

proceeding. I won’t hold back.”

He would hire the best lawyer and strive to secure as many benefits as possible.

In the evening. Amanda and Elias returned home after spending the entire day outside

playing with Aiden. Upon their return, they noticed a somber atmosphere enveloping the

entire house.

Just then, the butler approached them and asked, “Miss and Mr. Winters, have you had

dinner yet? Do you need the kitchen to prepare any food for you?”

“No, we’ve already eaten. By the way, why does the atmosphere feel strange? Where are

my parents? Also, where’s Stephanie?” Amanda asked.

The butler calmly explained what had transpired during the day, saying, “Well, after you

took Mr. Aiden out this afternoon, the chairman chased Crispin out and proposed a

divorce. The divorce proceedings will

commence soon.”

Elias remained unsurprised and commented, “Fits his style of doing things, decisive and

swift.”

“You knew about this? Am I the only one who didn’t know anything about it?” Amanda felt

like she had been kept in the dark all day.

Elias cradled their sleeping son in his arms and explained, “I’ve already handed the

evidence I found to Mr. Allegra. I shouldn’t interfere with how he handles it since it’s a

family matter.”

Amanda was lost for words when she realized that she was the only one who remained

uninformed.

Following that, Elias walked toward the elevator, and Amanda followed suit. Upon

returning to their room, they gently placed their son on the bed and covered him with a

blanket.

Then, Elias gestured for her to step outside. It seemed like he had something to say to her.

Amanda followed him out of the room and closed the door quietly, not wanting to disturb

their child. “Bring your ID along with you at 8.00AM tomorrow. I’ll have Yacob come pick

you up.”

“Huh?” Amanda was completely bewildered. She couldn’t understand what was

happening.

“What for?”

Elias’ handsome face showed a hint of calmness. “We’re getting married again, of course.”

“Us? Getting married?” Elias nodded slowly and asked, “Why? Are you having second

thoughts? I’ve fulfilled your requirements, so you have no reason to refuse me. Besides, I

have to face the heir of the Lawrence Family now, and he’s not easy to deal with. If I don’t

even have a status, how can I have the qualifications to confront him?”

Although his reasoning made some sense, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was

taking advantage of the situation. She hesitated to have such a hasty remarriage. When

Elias noticed her hesitation, it only strengthened his determination to remarry as soon as

possible. He feared that Amanda might change her mind at the last moment.

That’s settled, then. I’ll have Yacob come pick you up in the morning. I have some matters

to attend to tonight, so I won’t be sleeping here.” If it weren’t so late, he would have

eagerly taken Amanda to the city hall to register their second marriage.

“Hey, you- Amanda wanted to say something, but he seemed afraid of her refusal as he

turned and walked toward the elevator without giving her a chance to speak.

Feeling helpless, Amanda shook her head and decided to talk to Jack. She guessed her

parents were feeling.

quite down at the moment. As soon as she turned around, she saw Stephanie coming out

of the room. Before she could say anything, Stephanie embraced her and burst into tears,

saying. Thank you, Amanda. I’m finally going to be free. I can divorce Crispin and get rid of

him.”

Of course, Stephanie knew that Elias was willing to help only because Amanda was the

one who convinced him. Otherwise, given Elias’ impression of her, he wouldn’t willingly

assist her. Amanda was momentarily stunned but then hugged her in return.

The next day, Yacob arrived at the Allegra Villa to pick Amanda up early in the morning

while she was still asleep. She was half asleep and went to open the door when the nanny

knocked on it. Following that, the nanny informed her, “Miss, Mr. Winters’ bodyguard has

come to pick you up. He said you and Mr. Winters have important matters to attend to this

morning.”

Important matters? Suddenly, Amanda’s mind cleared up. We’re getting married again!

Indeed, they were supposed to register their marriage again this morning, but upon

glancing at the time, it was only 700AM. Is it really necessary to be this early?

“Okay.” Hearing that, the nanny nodded and turned to leave.
