The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 4 Getting Caught

Elias to marry me and even used all kinds of means and tricks, but now, he says we’ll talk about it next time? Even after getting rid of that worthless ex-wife of his, I still can’t get Old Mr. Winters’ approval. Tears began pooling in her eyes. At that moment, Elias inadvertently looked at the opposite side of the pool and was stunned once again. It was Amanda! The ex-wife that had been missing for four years! A touch of surprise and shock appeared in the man’s eyes because he had a clear view this time. That woman was indeed Amanda Bailey. His gaze was pinned onto that slim figure as though afraid she would disappear the next moment. … “Amanda, how about coming home with me tonight? Then, we can discuss why you refuse to take on this case.” The obscene Jackson kept trying to trick Amanda into going home with him. By then, she was fed up with him. She knew going home with that pervert was no different from treading dangerous ground. In that sense, she would rather take on the Winters Enterprise case! With a polite smile, she retreated a step. “Mr. McCalister, I’ll take the case. I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now.” The second she wheeled around, she was stunned in place. Elias was passing through the crowd and storming toward her in rage. That’s right—storming toward me. Why does the universe hate me? What did I do to deserve this?! Amanda’s eyes widened in fear, and she could not help but take two steps back, landing straight inside Jackson’s arms. After helping her find her footing, he asked, “Amanda, have you thought it through? Are you willing to come home with me?” “You’ve mistaken. I was just walking this way!” She pushed the lewd man away and hurriedly left in the other direction. No, no, no! Please don’t let me get caught!
