Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 44 Fine! I’ll Put On Swimwear!

“It is true that I am not worthy of being compared to you. However, I am not here for you”

Amanda smiled and looked at Carlisle, hoping that the useless man would cooperate and let her talk about work before letting her go.

Her indifference thoroughly irked Elias, who then lifted the champagne in his hand and emptied its contents in one gulp.

“Mr. London, can we talk now? Or we can talk privately somewhere else. I won’t take much of your time. Just ten minutes will do.”

However, Carlisle had a perverted smile on his face as he countered, “Didn’t Mr. Winters say that this is a pool party? It’s not appropriate for you to dress like this and talk to me. Miss Bailey, why don’t you consider changing into swimwear?”

She couldn’t stand it anymore at this point. Why do I have to defend a human scum like him?

Unable to stand the sight of the trash, she would have turned around and left if it wasn’t for

Simon.

“Well, then. Let’s talk tomorrow. I’ll make an appointment with you,” Amanda uttered as she turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, the man next to her stood in front of her, blocking her. “You are refusing even though Mr. Winters and Mr. London are inviting you to the party? You don’t know what’s best for you, do you? Do you even want to make it far in the legal industry?”

“Don’t be a spoilsport, Miss Bailey. Changing into swimwear isn’t a big deal. Besides…” Carlisle commented. “You have a nice body.”

Amanda was looking at that slob when he spoke, and she soon glanced at Elias, who was seated beside him. He didn’t seem like he was going to help at all, with how he remained motionless in

his seat.

Although she felt a little disappointed, she understood that the man wouldn’t speak up for her when he hated her so much.

“If you are going to treat your defense lawyer this way, Mr. London, I’m afraid we can’t work together. Please get someone else to defend your case.”

Carlisle smiled at that. “Are you quitting? Very well, then. I’ll go to the law firm you work at and complain about this tomorrow. I’ll also expose the company and let everyone see the quality of lawyers at Justice & Associates.”
