Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 94 The Listening Device

Before Yacob could get out of the car to open the door for Elias, the latter already pushed the door open and walked toward the forest.

What is Amanda doing here? It’s getting dark.

Elias walked into the forest with questions in his mind. He began to look around for Amanda.

“Mr. Winters!” Yacob tried to follow Elias. He didn’t dare to let Elias out of his sight even for a moment.

However, Elias coldly ordered, “Stay where you are. Don’t follow me.”

Yacob did not answer and did as was told. He didn’t try to move after Elias made his words clear.

In the forest, Amanda had arrived at the crash site. The police had cleaned up the site, so she couldn’t find anything useful around other than the marks the car left when it flipped over.

“You nearly scared me to death! Don’t come up behind me without making a sound!”

Elias took a few steps forward and stopped before her. “I wasn’t trying to hide the sound of my footsteps when I walked here. It’s just that you’re preoccupied with your thoughts.”

His honesty left her speechless as she indeed wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings earlier.

“What are you doing here?” Elias repeated.
