Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 76 I Can’t Give Up on You

Observing Elias’ contorted visage, Grace innocently queried. “Elias, what troubles you? Are you alright? Perhaps we misunderstood, and that woman may not be Amanda after all.”

“If it isn’t her, who else could it be?” His tone exuded intense hostility.

Eventually, after stealing one last glimpse of Amanda’s tender smile through the boutique window, he firmly pressed the accelerator, propelling the vehicle forward. This woman has never bestowed upon me such a gentle smile. Does she truly find solace in the company of Simon and his son?

Witnessing the frightful expression etched on the man’s face, Grace found her uneasiness heightened, causing her to clutch her seatbelt tightly. “Elias, please slow down. I’m scared…”

In that instant, the man’s mind was consumed by the idyllic and joyful tableau they had just witnessed, rendering him impervious to her pleas.

Half an hour later, the car gradually halted outside the residential area.

Grace’s uncle and aunt stood there, eagerly anticipating her arrival. Ever since she ascended the social hierarchy, they had relocated from a squalid slum to an affluent community.

As the car door opened, her uncle and aunt put on hypocritical expressions and approached to welcome them. “Be careful, Grace. You just got discharged. Don’t exert yourself.” Her uncle supported her as she got out of the car.

Her aunt, on the other hand, was even more exaggerated; it was as if she wanted to kneel and serve as a steppingstone.

“Uncle Grant, I’m not that weak.” Grace was well aware of the couple’s motives.

Elias carried the luggage, and they entered the residence together. The man placed the suitcase in her bedroom and turned to leave. “I’m leaving. Get some rest.”

Unexpectedly, she stepped forward and closed the bedroom door, locking her uncle and aunt outside. They exchanged puzzled glances, looking utterly confused.

“Why did she close the door? We’re here; we could’ve helped persuade him.” Her aunt also wanted to help her hold onto the man’s heart. Otherwise, they would have no hope for their future, considering Grace’s success in the entertainment industry relied on Elias.

Her uncle waved his hand dismissively. “Enough. Don’t worry about it. Grace must have her reasons for doing this, and she wants to keep Mr. Winters more than we do.”
