Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Stephanie subconsciously looked at Crispin. She had the urge to tell Elias that the man beside her was the one who made her head to the prison.

However, Crispin grabbed her shoulders and glanced at the man across from him with a smile. “Have you come all the way here late at night just to ask her this question, Mr. Winters? Steph is exhausted and needs. some rest. Why don’t we talk about it tomorrow?”

“You have no right to speak. Get lost!” Elias was arrogant as he had no regard for Crispin at all.

A seed of resentment was planted in Crispin’s heart after he was told off.

“Speak! Why did you go looking for Raymond? Did you force him to end his own life?”

Elias only wanted to get to the person who framed him. However, all the clues were halted after Raymond passed away.

Perhaps the culprit was watching him in the dark, waiting for a chance to stab him in the back.

Did he commit self-harm?

Stephanie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Did you just say he ended his own life? Why would he do that?!”

Although she was resentful of Raymond, she would never force him to do that. She didn’t have the guts to do such a thing either.

Crispin, on the other hand, was calm and collected. A faint smile formed on his face when he learned of the news. Still, he pretended to be shocked.

He immediately pulled Stephanie behind his back and said, “Mr. Winters, this has nothing to do with Steph. She only went to the prison and scolded him. There’s no way he committed self-harm because of her. You must be mistaken.”

Elias squinted as he found Crispin strange for always interrupting them.

With that, Crispin pulled Stephanie back into the bedroom and closed the door.

Elias looked at the closed door and sneered before striding toward Amanda.

“Is he dead?” she asked.

He nodded. “Yes, he has been declared dead. He committed self-harm by injuring his wrist. He had lost. consciousness from severe bleeding by the time they discovered him. As such, the doctors were powerless to save him.”
