The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 6 Make Sure You Get Back Together

Amanda told you the truth?” “You b*stard! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! Unless you anger me to death, that clown will never join the Winters Family! The only daughter-in-law we acknowledge is Amanda!” He did not forget to pat her hand, adding, “Don’t worry. He can’t do anything to you with me here. I will get you guys back together someday.” Amanda was at a loss for words when faced with Howard’s stubbornness. Tired of pretending, she decided to tell the truth. “Grandpa, we can’t get back together anymore. The child he and that woman had should be turning three soon, and you can’t expect me to become a stepmom, right? I can’t do that, so I’m sorry.” Remembering when Elias brought that woman home with the pregnancy news, she did a rough estimation and assumed the child might be the same age as Aiden. When Howard heard her, his eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. Similarly, Elias’ face instantly fell, and he pursed his thin lips. “A child? What child? Where did that come from? Did you and that clown have a child?” Howard glanced at Elias, unconvinced. Elias denied it, but his helpless visage sold him out. “No.” “You b*stard! I’ll ask you again. Did you have a child with that woman? How could such a woman bear the heir to our family?” Howard screamed his accusation, pointing his walking stick at his grandson. Suppressing his rage, Elias attempted to defend himself again. “We didn’t have a child together!” “If you dare to get that clown pregnant, I’ll never forgive you. I…” Howard only spoke half his sentence before losing his footing and falling to the ground. “Grandpa!” Elias’ obsidian eyes filled with shock as he ran over to catch Howard’s body. On the other hand, Amanda’s mind went blank at the unfolding scene. “Grandpa…” … Outside Howard’s bedroom, the private doctor exited and stood before Elias and Amanda after thirty minutes. “Old Mr. Winters was exasperated, causing his blood pressure to surge. I gave him medication to control his blood pressure, so he’s fine now. Let him rest, and don’t provoke him again.” After listening to the doctor’s explanation, Amanda instantly felt relieved. Elias pushed the door open and peeked inside before closing it again upon confirmation that Howard was asleep. Turning to look at her, he offered, “I’ll send you home.” She did not respond and led the way. Now that she had calmed down, she suddenly remembered what Howard had said earlier… So, it turns out that Grandpa didn’t know about the child, but why did Elias deny the child’s presence? The clown Grandpa was talking about was called Grace. Could she be the woman Elias brought home years ago? A clown… Is she a celebrity? Fishing out her phone, Amanda searched her name and soon found results on Grace Murphy. Her eyes widened in shock because Grace was not the woman he had brought home four years ago! Abruptly, she halted her footsteps and turned to look at the tall man behind her. “So, the woman you brought back four years ago wasn’t pregnant. Am I right?” There was never a child. Was all that just a ploy to push the divorce narrative and make way for Grace? Elias coldly replied, “Yes.” Yes?! How could he be so calm? So, he made up a fake child and divorced me for the love of his life? And I had no idea about who my love rival was! Was he so in love with Grace that he would use such
