Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

It’s okay. I’ll help you contact Mr. Nicholson. He probably doesn’t know the details. If he knew about your situation, he would definitely take on this case.”

One had to know that Simon’s secretary was a snob and never took on cases from ordinary people.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you at Lily Cafe. Don’t be late.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Amanda immediately got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Then, she changed into a new set of clothes, called Boris to lend her a car, and left the mansion.

After she left, he called Elias to report the situation. Since Elias was meeting with a client at the other end of the phone, he casually responded, “Got it.”

While driving, Amanda contacted Simon. She studied law in order to uphold justice and had no reason to stand by and do nothing now that something like this had happened.

The call took a long time to connect, and she heard Simon’s voice on the other end, saying, “Amanda? | never expected you to call me voluntarily. After what happened yesterday, I thought you would never call me again.”

Though she was indeed embarrassed to call Simon, this matter was urgent, and she couldn’t worry about that now.

“Simon, listen. It’s urgent. A case has been presented to me, but I’m not in an appropriate state to advocate for it right now and would like to hand this case over to you. In simple terms, it’s about a three-year-old girl who a boy killed. It is said that the other party has hired a lawyer, and there is a high possibility that the case will result in probation. The father…”

Before Amanda could finish her sentence, Simon questioned, “Is this case real? Are you sure you haven’t been deceived? If such a heinous case does exist, there’s no reason for me not to know about it. I deal with the police and the court every day, so how could I not know if there really is such a heinous case? Are you sure it was one of the parties involved who contacted you?”

Suddenly, Amanda calmed down. The car had already slowly stopped near Lily Cafe.

She found a random parking space and then picked up her phone to continue the conversation with Simon.

“The person who called claimed to be the girl’s father. Why would someone make up such a case and contact me if it’s fake? And why did they ask me to meet at Lily Cafe?”
